Cake:


1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature


2 cups sugar


4 eggs


3 cups sifted self-rising flour


1 cup milk


1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Lemon wedge, for garnish


Mint sprig, for garnish


Frosting:


1 1/2 cups sugar


1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1 tablespoon white corn syrup


1/8 teaspoon salt


1/3 cup water


2 egg whites


1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract





Filling:


8 egg yolks


1 1/2 cups sugar


1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter


3 lemons, zest grated and juiced








Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans.


To make the cake: Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4-inches above counter, then dropping flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling racks. Cool completely.





To make the frosting: Place sugar, cream of tartar or corn syrup, salt, water, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a handheld electric mixer for 1 minute. Place pan over boiling water, being sure that boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla.





To make the filling: Place the ingredients in the double boiler over boiling water. Don't let top pan touch the water. Cook and stir until mixture begins to gel or thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.





To assemble, add 1 tablespoon of filling to the cake pedestal. Run hands along the side of the cake to remove excess crumbs. Place the cake layers on the pedestal, spreading filling between the layers and on top. Spread the sides and top of the cake with the remaining filling. Frost top and sides of cake with frosting. Garnish with a lemon wedge and a sprig of mint.

Lemon Frosted Lemon Cake Recipe





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Butter, or spray with a non stick cooking spray, a 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan and then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.





In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy and pale in color (about 3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.





Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and then add to the batter along with the lemon juice. Mix only until incorporated.





Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Bake about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool, then gently remove the sides of the pan.





For the icing, combine the sifted confectioners sugar with the 2 tablespoons lemon juice. (You want the icing to be thicker than a glaze but still thin enough that it will just run over the sides of the cake. If not the right consistency add more lemon juice or powdered sugar, accordingly.) Frost the top of the cake, allowing the icing to drip down the sides. Let the icing dry before covering and storing.





This cake will keep for several days in an airtight container.

    body oil works wellCan you give a recipe for sponge cake where vegetable oil is used instead of butter.?
    This a nice one. You can bake it in two 7'; or 8'; tins like a sponge, a 2lb cake tin, or as a dessert. You use the yoghurt pot as the measure.





    1 150g pot yoghurt (fruit, vanilla, whatever)


    1 pot vegetable oil (better if you're a bit mean with it)


    2 pots granulated sugar


    3 pots SR flour


    3 eggs





    1. Whisk eggs, yoghurt, oil, sugar. I use an electric mixer, but you can do it without much hassle if you use a fork.


    2. Fold in flour.


    3. Put in tin(s). Bake at 160C. If two tins, for 30-35 minutes, if larger tin, up to an hour. Test with skewer to see if done.





    If you bake as a cake, it tastes better a day or two after baking, if it lasts that long! This recipe is easy enough for children to make.

    Grasshopper Cheese Cake


    http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/baked-g鈥?/a>


    9-in springform pan





    CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUMB CRUST





    1 1/2 c chocolate cookie crumbs


    1/4 c melted butter


    1/4 tsp. cinnamon


    CHEESE FILLING


    1 lb. cream cheese at room temperature


    1 c sugar


    1/3 c green creme de menthe


    3 Tbs. creme de cacao


    2 Tbs. flour


    1/2 tsp. salt


    6 eggs; separated


    1 c sour cream


    2 oz. semisweet chocolate, grated


    CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUMB CRUST: Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and cinnamon. Toss and mix well. Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate and, while making the filling, preheat the oven to 325F.


    CHEESE FILLING: Put the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until light and soft. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar and mix well. Stir in the creme de menthe and the creme de cacao, flour and salt. Beat until the mixture is blended well. Add the egg yolks and sour cream, and beat until the batter is smooth and blended. Combine the egg whites and 1/4 cup remaining sugar and beat until the whites stand in soft peaks. Fold the beaten whites into the cream-cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the crust and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake has puffed and trembles just slightly when shaken. A wooden skewer inserted in the cake should come out almost clean, with just a trace of batter or moist crumbs on it. Don't overbake; it will settle and firm somewhat as it cools. Don't worry if the cake cracks as it bakes. Remove and cool. Refrigerate if standing more than 4 hours. Garnish the top with grated chocolate.

    Why We Call It Drunken


    Combine 1 cup raisins and 1/2 cup dark rum in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Allow to stand at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight.











    Make the Drunken Zombie Cake





    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.





    Lightly coat the insides of two 9 x 1-1/2 inch cake pans with melted butter. Line each pan with parchment paper, then lightly coat the parchment paper with more melted butter. Set aside.





    Combine together in a sifter 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Sift onto wax paper and set aside.





    Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place 10 ounces semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover the top with plastic wrap. Allow to heat for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.





    Place the remaining 1/2 pound butter and 1 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the 4 eggs, one at a time, beating on medium for 30 seconds and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat on high for 30 seconds. Add the melted chocolate and beat on medium for 30 seconds. Operate the mixer on low while gradually adding the sifted dry ingredients. Once all the dry ingredients have been incorporated, turn off the mixer, add the rum-infused raisins, and mix on medium for 30 seconds (at this point, the aromas wafting up from the mixing bowl are quite extraordinary). Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter until smooth and thoroughly combined.





    Immediately divide the cake batter between the prepared pans, spreading evenly. Bake on the center rack in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 32 to 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool in the pans for 15 minutes at room temperature. Invert the cakes onto cake circles. Carefully remove the parchment paper. Place the cakes in the freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (the cakes must be thoroughly cooled before adding the mousse, as described later).





    Make the Mocha Rum Mousse





    Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, 1/4 cup coffee, and 2 tablespoons dark rum in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover the top with plastic wrap. Allow to heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a 5-quart stainless steel bowl and keep at room temperature until ready to use.





    Place 1 cup heavy cream in the well-chilled bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a well-chilled balloon whip. Whisk on high for 1 minute until peaks form. Set aside for a few moments.





    Whisk 3 egg whites in a 3 -quart stainless steel bowl until soft peaks form, about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to quickly fold one third of the whisked egg whites into the melted chocolate. Then place the whipped cream and the remaining egg whites on top of the chocolate and use a rubber spatula to fold together until smooth and completely combined. Refrigerate the mocha rum mousse for 30 to 45 minutes (the mousse must be refrigerated until slightly firm before beginning to assemble the cake).


    Begin Assembling The Cake





    Remove the cake layers from the freezer or refrigerator and the mousse from the refrigerator. Reserve 1 cup of mousse and set aside in the refrigerator for a few moments. Spoon the remaining mousse onto one of the inverted cake layers, using a cake spatula to spread evenly to the edges. Place the other inverted cake layer on top of the mousse and press gently into place. Use a cake spatula to coat the top and sides of the cake with the reserved cup of mousse. Place the cake in the freezer while preparing the blackened molasses glaze and the voodoo needles.





    Prepare The Blackened Molasses Glaze





    Heat 3/4 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons molasses in a 1-1/2-quart saucepan. Stir to dissolve the molasses, then bring to a boil. Place 6 ounces semisweet chocolate in a 3-quart stainless steel bowl. Pour the boiling cream mixture over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Keep the glaze at room temperature forl hour before using (the glaze will thicken to the desired texture during that time period).





    Prepare The Chocolate Caramel Voodoo Needles





    Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice in a 1-1/2 -quart saucepan. Stir with a whisk to combine (the sugar will resemble moist sand). Caramelize the sugar for 5-1/2 to 6 minutes over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to break up any lumps (the sugar will first turn clear as it liquefies, then light brown as it caramelizes). Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the chocolate, and stir to dissolve. Dip a wire whisk into the chocolate caramel and drizzle the hot caramel, in long thin lines, onto 4 nonstick baking sheets, one sheet at a time (move the whisk back and forth over the length of the baking sheets). Continue drizzling - making an effort to create as many individual long, thin, and separate chocolate caramel strips as possible - until all the caramel is used. Allow the strips to harden at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Break the strips into the desired size voodoo needles (3- to 4-inch needles make for delightful sticking). The voodoo needles may be stored in a tightly sealed plastic container in the freezer until needed (which may be sooner than you think, especially if an intruder sticks a finger into the glaze).





    Finish Assembling The Cake





    Remove the cake from the freezer. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake. Use a cake spatula to spread a smooth coating of glaze over the top and sides of the voodoo cake. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to set the glaze.





    To Serve





    Heat the blade of a serrated slicer under hot running water and wipe the blade dry before cutting each slice. Place a piece of Chocolate Voodoo Cake in the center of each serving plate. Randomly stick the chocolate caramel voodoo needles into the cake slices (avoid thinking about your enemies at this time, if at all possible). Dispatch immediately.





    The Chef's Touch





    There is no witchcraft going on here, just a little fun. We tried to catch the spirit of the islands with this confection by using lots of rum, molasses, spices, and chocolate.





    Although other brands of dark rum may be used, I prefer Myers's dark, with its no-nonsense, straightforward flavor that lives on beyond the baking of the cake - especially if you accompany each slice with a glass of this smooth island beverage.





    The blackstrap molasses of choice for the glaze is Plantation ';The Original'; Brand. The rap on blackstrap is that it comes from the dregs of the barrel, its bitter flavor better suited for nonconfectionary use. Not so with Plantation brand. this turbid syrup has a refined and specific taste that gives a subtle finish to the completed dessert. Failing to locate this particular brand, I would suggest choosing another flavorful but not overpowering molasses.





    Chocolate Voodoo Cake may be produced over a period of two to three days, rather than all in one day. The chocolate caramel voodoo needles may be prepared several days in advance, cool the needles thoroughly and store in a tightly sealed plastic container in the freezer (you never know when you may need them). The Chocolate Voodoo Cake may be baked one to two days in advance. Wrap the baked and cooled layers in plastic wrap and refrigerate until assembly.





    After assembly, you may refrigerate this cake for two to three days before serving.
    Spread Chocolate Wafers in the bottom of a 9X13 dish.


    Mix 1 box instant chocolate pudding, made according to the directions for pie, with a brick of cream cheese and 1/2 container of cool whip. Spread over the wafers.


    Top with more wafers then top that with the remaining whipped cream.


    You could pour a jar of caramel Ice cream topping over the pudding mix if you wish and add a few chopped nuts or sprinkle the nuts on top.


    Put in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
    Go to your nearest pastry shop, buy a chocolate cake and put it in the fridge. :)





    Here's another. 2 boxes of your favorite flavor pudding mix, not instant, kind you have to cook. Buy a cake mx of the same or a complimentary flavor ( chocolate cake choclate pudding, vanilla pudding chocolate cake, etc). Cook up the pudding as per box directions and dump it into the bottom of your cake pan. then mix up your cake batter and gently pour it on top of the pudding, tryng not to mix. Bake as per cake instructions. When cake cools popit into the fridge.





    Experament with flavor combinations.





    Here is a favorite of my family. I love it and I am not a lemon fan.





    Take a box of yellow cake mix. Mix and bake it as per instructions. While the cake is baking melt a stick of butter or good margerine in a pan. To the melted butter add one and a half cups water, a package of lemon jello, a half cup of Reallemon lemon juice. Bring the Jello mixture just to a boil. Remove the jello misture from the stove and add 2 cups of powered sugar. The sugar should be lumpy. When the cake is done take it out of the overn and poke hiles in it with a cake then pour the jello mixtuer over the top of the cake while it is still hot. Then you put the cake in the fridge and serve chillled. The powered sugar will be all lumpy on the top of the cake so it has a very appleaing look and the taste is reall out fo this world!





    Good luck
    there is choclate cakes all over the net but i cant seem to find it with refrigerated..sorry i hope someone can help you

    Put the oven onto 180 oc


    Place bun cases in bun trays

    mix the margarine and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Break and whisk eggs in separate cup. Then add the eggs bit by bit adding a little flour with each so that the mixture doesn't curdle and mix together. Add the rest of the flour and mix in. Once the mixture is smooth and everything is mixed in add the chocolate chips and stir in with a spoon. Then put a spoonful of the mixture in the bun cases.

    I made some of these the other day actually.





    I just made a normal fairy cake recipe (I use 6oz sugar, 6 oz butter, 8 oz SR flour, 2 eggs and some milk). Then I just upended a packet of chocolate chips into the mixture and stirred them in well.





    The cakes turned out really yummy - slightly marbled with melted chocolate but still with chocolate chips.





    Next time I think I'll make chocolate cakes (I just add cocoa powder to the mix until it tastes good and chocolatey) with choc chips, just to lose the marbled effect.
    A really craft way I use is simply to make the cup cake mixture as usual, then fill each 'hole' or paper container only halfway then put a couple of chocolate drops and then add the mix to 'top-up'. Otherwise just break some choc into small pieces and add to the mix.
