For the cake


3 eggs


1 cup sugar


2/3 cup pumpkin


1 teaspoon lemon juice


3/4 cup all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon nutmeg


1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Christmas


Preheat oven to 375 F.


In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and lemon juice.


In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.


Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well blended.


Line a 10 1/2'; by 15'; cookie sheet with parchment paper, trimming excess.


Pour the batter onto the cookie sheet, spread evenly.


Sprinke with pecans.


Bake 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


Prepare a linen towel heavily sprinkled with powdered sugar.


After baking, turn the cookie sheet onto the towel, parchment paper side up.


The cake should slide out onto the towel.


Remove paper and roll up the cake into the towel.


Cool 30-40 minutes.


For the filling, stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, margarine and vanilla.


Mix well.


After the roll has cooled, unroll it and spread the filling evenly.


Re-roll and slice for serving.
Avoid field pumpkins, which are bred for perfect jack o' lanterns: they tend to be too large and stringy for baking. Ask your grocer or farmer for sugar pie pumpkins or other flavorful varieties: small and sweet, with dark orange-coloured flesh, they're perfect for pies, soups, muffins and breads.

Can anyone from Great Britain give me an original recipe for chocolate Nemesis cake?

I have heard that it is something special over there and I would really love to make it the right way. thank you!Can anyone from Great Britain give me an original recipe for chocolate Nemesis cake?
The cake came from The River Cafe in Hammersmith, London, run by Ruth Rogers and Rose Grey. I think the recipe was given in ';The River Cafe'; book (can't remember the exact name); however, there were quite a few complaints from people trying it at home as it never seemed to work out!





I'm sure there The River Cafe has a website. Perhaps the cake features on it.





Good luck, and I'm sorry I can't be of more specific help.

Does anyone have a really really GOOD sponge cake recipe?

i'm looking for a good sponge cake recipe. Can you help?


It would be good if you've actually tried the recipe. A website or written recipe would be good





Thanx : )Does anyone have a really really GOOD sponge cake recipe?
i remember making this recipe since i was in middle school. i like the consistency and taste the hot milk gives this sponge cake.





Hot Milk Sponge Cake





2 c. sifted flour


1 tsp. baking powder


1/2 tsp. salt


4 eggs


2 c. sugar


1 c. scalded milk


2 tsp. vanilla


1 tsp. lemon extract





Sift flour together with baking powder and salt.


Beat 4 eggs 7-10 minutes until thick and light. Gradually add sugar to eggs, beating constantly. Fold in dry ingredients, gently and quickly.





Add vanilla, lemon, and scalded milk all at once. Blend together as quickly as possible.





Pour into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan.





Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.





Top with fresh fruit or canned peaches, or with whipped cream and strawberries when in season.Does anyone have a really really GOOD sponge cake recipe?

Perfect Sponge Cake Recipe


2 Eggs


3oz/75g Caster Sugar


3oz/75g Plain Flour





Filling %26amp; Top


1 Tbsp Powdered Sugar


1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence


300ml Fresh Double Cream


Strawberry Conserve/Jam


Powdered Sugar (for dusting)





First crack your eggs into a large bowl, whisk them for a few seconds just lightly. Add your caster sugar only and whisk until your mixture thickens and turns almost white in colour.





This will take 5-10 minutes using an electric whisk, do not try to cut corners and just give it a whisk for a minute or two!





You may also think that your mixture should be thicker but as long as the colour has gone almost white it should be just fine.





Take a sieve and gently add your flour. Gently fold flour into your mixture until you can see it has all mixed together nicely. (to fold take a spoon and very gently stir your spoon over and under the mixture rather than just stiring as normal - the reason is to keep all the air bubbles inside the mixture).





Pour your sponge cake mixture into a greased and floured round tin. Place in a pre-heated oven at 180C for approx 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven).





Do not open your oven door until you are checking it towards to end of being cooked.


To check if your cake is ready you can just lightly press on it with your finger and if it is bouncy it is ready. Once cooked leave in its tin to cool a little.





Once cooler you can go around the edges with a knife to gently nudge it out. It should come out easily.


Take a large bread knife and gently cut your cake in half. If you cut into a warm cake it will crumble so make sure it has cooled.





Lay each half upside down. Spread bottom half with a thin but coated layer of jam.





Now whisk up your cream for a minute, then add your table spoon of powdered sugar and vanilla essence - whisk until it is a thick whipped cream (this won't take long at all).





Spread the cream on top of your jam, do not spread cream right to the edge


of your cake as when you slice it it will spread to the edges.

Method:





1.Separate eggs, beat yolks and sugar well, then leave standing until bubbles appear, while whisking the egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into the sugar and yolk mixture, then fold in the flour and pinch of salt.





2.Pour into a well greased tube tin (we always used a deep Gugelhopf type tin) and bake in the centre of a 180 degree oven for about 1 hour.





3.This recipe does NOT work in a fan oven, it will fail if there is any draft! I do know it has been made very successfully in a gas oven.

  • What are upside down cakes? Where can I get recipes for making them?

    also, do u know where I can get good recipes for parties?What are upside down cakes? Where can I get recipes for making them?
    Upside-Down cakes originated in North America, and were (and sometimes still are) baked in cast iron frying pans. These cakes are unique in that a decorative fruit topping is baked under the cake batter. Upside-Down Cakes are self-decorating cakes. Just bake and serve. The most popular upside-down cake is Pineapple.





    Try this link:


    http://www.greatpartyrecipes.com/What are upside down cakes? Where can I get recipes for making them?
    Upside down cakes usually have fruit. The fruit is placed in the pan first and then the batter goes on top. When you take it out of the pan, the fruit will be on the top of the cake. You can find great recipes at www.allrecipes.com
    a upside down cake is just a cake in a bunt pan you can find recipes in a cook book or the internet
    I'm getting hungry now! :)





    Plenty of good recipes right here:

    Upside down cakes start off with brown sugar and sliced fruit then pour the cake batter over the top and bake. When cooled the cake is flipped upside down on a serving plate and there you have fruit on top with syrup dripping over the top of your cake.





    You can use pineapple, pears, peaches or apple slices for your fruit with canned cherries for garnish. Here are food channels recipes for upside down cakes:

    PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE


    1/2 cup margarine (1 stick) melted


    1 cup brown sugar


    1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)


    1 can pinneapple slices (reserve syrup)


    1 jar maraschino cherries


    1 cup sugar


    1 cup flour


    2 teaspoons baking powder


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    3 eggs


    1/4 cup pineapple syrup


    1 teaspoon vanilla


    Place the butter, brown sugar and walnuts in a frying pan and melt until it boils or bubbles. A cast iron pan works well because it's heavy and will be less likely to scorch. Place pineapples in the sugar mixture. Put cherries in the center of each pineapple. Cut the slices of pineapple into halves and line the sides of the frying pan with them (standing up on edge). In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and set aside. In seperate bowl, beat eggs until fluffy. Combine eggs, pineapple syrup, vanilla and


    dry ingredients; mix until smooth. Pour batter into the pan being careful not to disturb the pineapples and cherries. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand for a few minutes to set and loosen the edges with a butter knife. Turn it upside down onto a serving dish.


    Serve while still warm.
    This is what I make since I don't like pineapple.

    Recipe Summary


    Prep Time: 45 minutes


    Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes


    Yield: about 12 servings


    User Rating:








    Topping:


    5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for preparing the pan


    1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar


    1 tablespoon dark rum


    3/4 small fresh pineapple, peeled





    Cake:


    1 1/2 cup cake flour


    1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder


    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


    1/4 teaspoon fine salt


    3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature


    1 1/4 cups sugar


    3 large eggs, at room temperature


    1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature


    Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Cut out a circle of parchment or wax paper and place it in the bottom of a 9 x 2-inch round cake pan. Lightly butter the sides of the pan.


    To make the topping: Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and rum. Pour the butter-sugar mixture into the cake pan. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture out so it to covers the bottom of the pan.


    Quarter the pineapple lengthwise, core, and slice it into about twenty 3/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange some of the pineapple slices in a slightly overlapping ring around the inside of the pan, leaving the center open. Place 3 of the slices in the center in a triangle pattern. Press the slices into the butter-sugar mixture.


    To make the cake: Using a sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.


    In a large bowl with a hand-held electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar and mix at a low speed until just incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.)


    Add the eggs one at time, waiting for each one to be fully incorporated before adding the next.


    Reduce the speed of the mixer to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions alternating with the milk in 2 additions. Raise the speed to medium and mix briefly until a smooth batter is formed.


    Pour the batter onto the pineapple-lined pan. Bake the cake, rotating the pan once during cooking, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.


    Run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and remove the parchment paper. Let cool completely before serving.

    I am making my own wedding cake. is there a certain recipe I should follow so my cake doesnt fall apart?

    I have made some sample caked with the Ready-To-Make boxes...like the ones that you add eggs and water to. Is there a recipe to follow that insures a good cake that won't fall apart? BTW- I need vanilla and chocolate recipes. thanks!I am making my own wedding cake. is there a certain recipe I should follow so my cake doesnt fall apart?
    My sister used to decorate wedding cakes and she said they always used the white or yellow box mixes because they hold icing so well. Chocolate, because of the high amount of cocoa butter, is too soft to hold up tiers and was always made as a single layer. Go to: www.bettycrocker.com/weddingcakes


    It has complete instructions for baking, icing, stacking, and cutting several different types of wedding cakes.I am making my own wedding cake. is there a certain recipe I should follow so my cake doesnt fall apart?
    Depending on the formality of the event, you might want to follow that advice about having someone else make it. In a more formal/traditional event, next to the bride/dress, the cake is the other 'big' thing. If you're having a more informal wedding, smaller, and/or making on your own (ie to save money) then I Would recommend finding a book from the library like Dede Wilson has 2 out that have easy to follow instructions.


    Generally, for stacking tiers on top of each other and having stability for your cakes, you don't want to make soft billowy cakes like angel food, or chiffon. I don't know how far away your wedding is, but once you do your research (like I said, Dede Wilson wedding cake books, for one suggestion, as she has been doing wedding cakes forever), plan on something simple if you're doing this yourself so you don't stress yourself out beyond belief - simple does go a long way- for instance, easy to make some simple square or round tiers and decorate them with fresh flowers (make sure the flowers are food-grade- they don't have to be edible, but you want to tell the flower shop they're going on top of a cake, so they can't be sprayed with a bunch of chemicals).


    Good luck and congrats on the wedding.


    PS, wise idea to do a trial run or two first, to perfect the recipe you end up with and find a design you end up sticking with.
    Its bad luck to make your own wedding cake Those cakes are expensive yes but its worth it Decorating a wedding cake takes creativity artistic ability %26amp; skill Maybe you should take a cake decorating course if you really want to do this It takes practice unless you want your wedding cake to look like a kids birthday cake Below are some recipes
    If you've only made cake mix cakes, then I'd suggest buying a wedding cake.... even the grocery store bakeries make them. You don't sound like you're experienced enough to tackle a wedding cake, especially with all the other stress of planning a wedding. And you certainly don't want to serve guests wedding cake made from a mix!
    I agree with the 1st answer..But I wouldnt have said it so harshly...I bought one for my wedding..it's just easier!

    What is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?

    i want all the things in the cake to be natural or organic but i dont know what substitutes i can use for eggs and butterWhat is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?
    Smart Balance spread (we use the light) or soy margarine can be used for butter. (I don't use things like regular margarine because it contains hydrogenated oils.) Apple sauce or any purred fruit can be used for eggs. (Apple sauce can be used for oil, too.)





    This is the chocolate cake recipe I use for potlucks. (It's also known as Wacky Cake.) Actually, I think I'm going to make it tomorrow, if I decide to not try the brownie recipe my husband wants me to try.


    http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showt鈥?/a>


    I use whole wheat flour, ten generous tablespoons of cocoa, and apple sauce for the oil.


    This is the frosting recipe I put on it:


    http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6603.0


    I start with what is there, but keep adding cocoa and chocolate soy milk (I use chocolate soy milk instead of vanilla if I have it) until I have enough for the cake. Tomorrow, since I've got it, I think I will put chocolate chips on the frosting after I frost the cake.





    I take this to potlucks and I get compliments on it. I figure if I introduce them to vegan foods with something as yummy as a chocolate cake, then the rest might be easy. Besides, it's fun to share the cake as I'm normally not a junk food person. (i.e., I shun the cookies at the church's coffee hour on Sundays.)What is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?
    It may not be all natural or organic, but I use Earth Balance buttery sticks (vegan) or Willow Run sticks in place of butter.





    For eggs, you have several options. My favorite is Ener-G Egg Replacer, a mix of starches and leaveners. It comes in an ugly orangey box and lasts forever.





    Many vegan cookbooks also have egg replacer strategies; check one of them out.
    There is a vegan chocolate cake recipe on the vegan family website.





    http://www.veganfamily.co.uk/cake.htm





    You can also buy vegan margarine and egg replacements, this particular recipe doesn't need them, and instead uses baking soda and vinegar to replace the eggs.





    Hope this helps :)
    You can buy vegan margarine(Look through the different 'smart balance' ones till you find a vegan one, they have a few) and you can use the ener-g egg replacer, works great for baking- http://www.ener-g.com/store/detail.aspx?鈥?/a>

    Where Can I Find The Recipe For 30day Friendship Cake with Apricots and no Fruitcocktail?

    I Am Looking For A Recipe For A 30day Friendship Cake....with apricots and NO fruit cocktail...i cant seem to find it any where....does any one know where i can find it or does any one have that recipe? please hit me back with it as soon as possible thank u!Where Can I Find The Recipe For 30day Friendship Cake with Apricots and no Fruitcocktail?
    INGREDIENTS


    2 cups Friendship Fruit Starter


    1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches with juice


    2 1/2 cups white sugar


    1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks with juice


    1/2 cup white sugar


    2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries


    2 1/2 cups white sugar


    2 (18.25 ounce) packages yellow cake mix


    2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix


    1 1/3 cups vegetable oil


    8 eggs


    2 cups golden raisins


    2 cups chopped walnuts


    2 cups flaked coconut


    DIRECTIONS


    Day One: In a large glass jar or bowl, combine 2 cups of the starter with 1 can of the sliced peaches and their juice (each slice chopped into 4 pieces). Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar and stir once every day for 10 days. When not stirring mixture, keep it covered with a paper towel, foil, or a loose lid. Let sit at room temperature. Don't refrigerate it or cover it airtight. A pan of water underneath the jar or bowl will keep the ants out.


    Day Ten: Add 1 can of chunk pineapple and it's juice. Cut each chunk of pineapple in half. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar. Stir once everyday for 10 days. The color should change, and the mixture should foam when stirred.


    Day Twenty: Slice each cherry in half, and stir in. Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar. Stir once every day for the final 10 days. The cherries will give the juice back its pinkish color.


    Day Thirty: Drain fruit and reserve it and the liquid. The fruit will be used in the cake. Pour the liquid into 3 glass or ceramic pint jars. One for you to start your next cake, and two for friends. Cake must be started within 3 days after receiving the starter, or you should freeze the starter to use at a later date. Do not use plastic or metal containers to store liquid!


    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch baking pans.


    It's best to mix the two cakes separately. Combine 1 box of the cake mix, 1 box of the instant vanilla pudding, 2/3 cup of the vegetable oil, and 4 of the eggs. Stir, then add 1/2 of the drained reserved fruit from the starter. Stir, then add 1 cup of the golden raisins, 1 cup of the chopped nuts and 1 cup of the coconut. Stir until all ingredients are combined. The batter will be stiff. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Repeat for cake number two.


    Bake cakes at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 55 to 65 minutes.Where Can I Find The Recipe For 30day Friendship Cake with Apricots and no Fruitcocktail?

    Enjoy!! :)
    Pie:


    2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour


    1 1/2 teaspoons salt


    1 teaspoon baking soda


    1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder


    1 cup (2-sticks) unsalted butter, softened


    1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar


    1/2 cup granulated sugar


    3 large eggs


    1 tablespoon vanilla extract


    3 cups semisweet chocolate chips


    2 cups chopped walnuts, optional





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) pie plates; set aside.


    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula.





    Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.





    While the pies cool, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use.





    I just made this yesterday! I put ice cream on top, but but as for icing, would go for regular. Buttercream is probably too sweet.

    Can anyone recommend a good recipe for a Christmas Cake for an awkward family :)?

    My husband thinks its too rich, my eldest doesn't like lots of fruit and dislikes nuts and I've told them our Christmas cake isn't going to be chocolate, any ideas?Can anyone recommend a good recipe for a Christmas Cake for an awkward family :)?
    My daughter (from the UK) married on the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean and wanted something a little different from the usual rich fruit cake traditional for weddings.


    Basically, I used the normal rich fruit cake base mix but instead of adding ';traditional'; fruits, went to a Health Food shop and bought crystallised ';tropical fruits'; - the pineapple was particularly yummy. Called it, surprisingly enough, Caribbean Wedding Cake. It was very popular. If you want to spice it up a bit, add rum rather than sherry or brandy.


    The whole point about the traditional rich fruit cake, is that it is a ';keeper'; - a cut-and-come-again cake which is still edible six months later!Can anyone recommend a good recipe for a Christmas Cake for an awkward family :)?
    make a vanilla sponge or a victoria sponge. Its not too rich, easy to make (as long as you cook it for the correct amount of time, not a minute under or a mintue over!). Although its not traditionally a christmas cake, but it sounds like it might be something that they all enjoy. you can still ice it like a christmas cake.
    What about carrot cake? try this..I've know even picky eaters love this





    Carrot Cake





    CAKE


    2 cups all-purpose flour


    2 teaspoons baking soda


    1 teaspoon baking powder


    1 teaspoon salt


    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


    1 3/4 cups white sugar


    1 cup vegetable oil


    3 eggs


    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    2 cups shredded carrots


    1 cup flaked coconut


    1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


    1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained





    FROSTING


    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened


    1/4 cup butter, softened


    2 cups icing sugar





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).





    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.





    Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; make a well in the centre and add sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla.





    Mix with wooden spoon until smooth.





    Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts and pineapple.





    Pour into 9x13 inch pan and bake for about 45 minutes.





    Don't panic, the centre will sink a little.





    Allow to cool; when cool, ice the cake.





    You can certainly use your favourite cream cheese frosting to ice this cake, but the one I've included is highly


    recommended (I usually leave the cake in the 13x9 pan and just ice the top).





    To make the frosting: Cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth; add the icing sugar and beat until creamy.
    You could try an angel food cake, applesauce cake, coconut cake would be a beautiful light alternative.
    Why dont you get a recipe for fruit cake which has far less friut and nuts than christmas cake and try to lower the amount of currents raisins and sultanas and instead add dried blueberries and cherries or tropical and citrus fruit.





    I like to omit a spoon of sugar for a spoon of syrup or honey or marmalade to stop the flavour being too predictable.





    I do not like the intensity of christmas cake either but the spices will work well with the above.
    I love red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Yes, I know it's got chocolate in it %26amp; it's not light!!!! ;)

    Orange Pop Cake





    1 box of white cake mix


    1 12 ounce can of orange pop (or diet)


    1 container of cool whip (Lite or Fat Free)


    1 box of orange powdered jello (or sugar free)





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the orange pop and white cake mix with electric mixer. (thats it!) Pour into sprayed 9 x 13 pan and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool.


    Fold together the cool whip and orange powdered jello. Spread on top of cake and enjoy!





    *I've done this recipe with strawberry before. Jones' Strawberry soda and strawberry powdered jello. Or I've omitted the powdered jello and just arranged cut strawberries on top of the cool whip.*
    This is a great one. We just made it the other night and My step mom is asked to make it at any get together they go to. The only downside is you have to order the orange aspic but... you can order it on line (google) and it is totally worth the effort and no one will make a cake as good as yours. When you glaze the cake let the glaze cool till its thick enough to stick to the cake. The cake should be cooled as well, otherwise it will run off onto the plate. I also use an orange supreme cake mix instead of a yellow cake mix.





    Ingredients:


    1 pkg yellow cake mix


    1 cup Chalet Suzanne Orange Aspic (from 13 oz can)


    1 pkg (3 3/4 oz) vanilla instant pudding (use dry)


    4 eggs


    2/3 cup water


    1/4 cup cooking oil





    Glaze:


    1/2 cup Orange Aspic (remainder of 13 oz can)


    1 Tbsp butter or margarine


    2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)





    Instructions:


    Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 9 inch Bundt pan. Beat eggs slightly. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour into prepared pan. Bake approximately 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10-15 minutes before turning cake out onto cake plate. Cool and glaze.





    Glaze:


    Warm aspic on low heat until thinned. Drop in butter and stir until melted. Blend in powdered sugar. Drizzle over cake.
    simple and easy and makes a great dessert for hot summer days- I call it poke cake.


    1 box of white cake mix- mix according to directions and bake after baking allow to cool.


    1 box of gelatin (sugar free or reg. any flavor you prefer)


    cook according to directions after cooking take a fork and poke holes all over the cake at different depths pour gelatin slowly over the cake ( it will run into the holes)


    1 container of whip cream (lite or reg) spread over top of cake.





    put in refrigerator keep chilled after gelatin has set up.





    you can use more than 1 color of gelatin I have never done so- I would if using more than one only use 1/2 a pack after mixing. Makes for a great summer treat!
    Chocolate Pudding Cake





    This makes a nice cake layer that magically floats atop a layer of warm, fudge pudding!





    3/4 cup granulated sugar


    1 cup plain flour


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    2 teaspoons of baking powder


    2 Tablespoons cocoa


    ½ cup milk


    1 teaspoon of vanilla


    3 Tablespoons melted, cooled, margarine





    Sift sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa together in pan. Stir in milk, margarine and vanilla. Batter will look like brownie batter. Spread batter into greased baking dish (Pyrex bowl or 9”x15” dish).





    TOPPING:


    ½ cup of granulated sugar


    ½ cup brown sugar


    1/4 cup cocoa





    Mix topping sugars and cocoa together and sprinkle dry ingredients over batter. Pour 1 ½ cups of tap water over all. DO NOT STIR.





    Place in oven and bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes or until topping is done. (In the baking process, ingredients will reverse themselves - finished product will look like a brownie on top and have chocolate pudding on bottom.)





    Serve in bowls with spoons. Serves 6-8 people. Good with vanilla ice cream or cool whip.


    ----------------------------------





    Lemon Pillow Cake





    1 white cake mix


    1 can lemon pie filling





    Mix cake as directed on box and pour into a 9x13 pan. Place spoonsful of lemon pie filling in blobs over batter. Bake as directed on the box. Let cool completely. Cake batter covers blobs, so there will be pockets of lemony filling inside.





    Frosting


    1 can ready to spread lemon flavored frosting


    1 tub of Cool Whip





    Mix frosting and Cool Whip together and spread on cake. This does need to be kept refrigerated.





    Variation: Use chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, and chocolate icing to make a Black Forest Pillow Cake.


    ----------------------------------





    Strawberry Sheet Cake %26amp; Icing





    CAKE:


    1-box White Cake mix


    1 small box strawberry jell-o


    ½ cup frozen strawberries, thawed


    ½- cup water


    1 cup oil


    4 eggs





    ICING:


    16 oz. box powdered sugar


    1/4- cup butter, room temp


    ½ cup frozen strawberries, thawed





    CAKE: Preheat oven to 325ºF. Mix jello and cake mix together, add water and oil; mix on med. speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add berries. Bake 30 to 45 minutes in greased/floured 9 x 13 baking pan.





    ICING: Cream butter, powdered sugar and strawberries together. Spread on cooled cake
    Keep your cake mix simple. Use a box one. BUT add whatever kind of frosting you were going to use on the outside - to the cake batter. You can use 1/3 to 1/2 of it inside the batter, and bake in the oven. This will leave your cake so moist and fluffy! Delicious!
    I don't know about cake but I am currently having a piece of fresh strawberry pie and it is SO GOOD!! all it is is a crust that has been baked and then strawberry's cut up with strawberry surup mix with them topped with whipped cream! YUM is all I am saying!

    Ingredients


    4 oz (110 g) glac茅 pineapple, roughly chopped


    6 oz (175 g) red and green glac茅 cherries, roughly chopped


    8 oz (225 g) sultanas


    4 oz (110 g) dried apricots, roughly chopped


    3 tablespoons brandy


    4 oz (110 g) pecan nuts, roughly chopped


    4 oz (110 g) whole, mixed candied peel, chopped small


    2 oz (50 g) angelica, chopped small


    2 oz (50 g) crystallised ginger, chopped small


    grated zest 1 medium orange


    grated zest 1 medium lemon


    8 oz (225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature


    8 oz (225 g) caster sugar


    4 large eggs


    8 oz (225 g) plain flour, sifted


    2 oz (50 g) ground almonds


    录 level teaspoon salt


    Begin the night before by placing the sultanas and chopped apricots in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the brandy, cover and leave overnight.





    Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325掳F (170掳C). Add the rest of the nuts, fruit and peels into the sultanas and apricots. Tick everything off as you go.





    Now whisk with an electric hand whisk the butter and sugar in another large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Then beat the eggs and add them to the butter and sugar, a very small amount at a time, whisking well after every addition. When all the eggs are incorporated, lightly fold in the sifted flour and salt, followed by the ground almonds and then all the fruit, nuts, etc.





    Now transfer the mixture to the tin, levelling it off with the back of a spoon, and place the tin in the oven so the top of it is more or less in the centre. Bake the cake for 1 hour then place a double sheet of greaseproof paper over the top of the tin and turn the heat down to gas mark 2, 300掳F (150掳C), for a further 2-2录 hours. When it's cooked it will have begun to shrink away from the sides of the tin and be springy in the centre when you press lightly with your little finger. You can leave this cake in the tin till it's absolutely cold then peel off the papers and wrap it in double greaseproof paper before storing in an airtight container





    or Quick boiled fruit cake


    1 x 397g/14oz can condensed milk


    150g/5oz margarine


    225g/5oz raisins


    225g/8oz sultanas


    175g/6oz currants


    175g/6oz glace cherries, roughly chopped


    225g/8oz self-raising flour


    2tsp mixed spice


    1 tsp ground cinnamon


    2 eggs





    Method


    1. preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas2. Lightly grease and line a 18cm/7in deep round cake tin with greased greaseproof paper.


    2. Pour the condensed milk into a heavy-based pan and add the margarine, fruit and glace cherries. Place over a low heat until the condensed milk and margarine have melted. Stir well, then simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave on one side to cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.


    3. Measuring the flour and spices into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs and the cooled fruit mixture and quickly mix together until well blended. Turn into the prepared tin.


    4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1戮-2 hours or until the cake is well risen, golden brown and the top feels firm. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then turn out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack
    What I do is mince up some raisins, currants, prunes marachino cherries and apricots then add enough rum to cover them.





    Let them marinade for about a week.





    Make your usual plain cake batter and then add the fruit. Here we add ';Cross and Blackwell browning'; to make the cake dark (not too much or you will make the cake bitter). You dont have to add the browning if you don't want to.





    Bake in a 350 oven for 1 - 1 1/2 or until done.





    Sprinkle some more rum over the cake when you take it out of the oven. Let cool and remove from hte pan.

    1 teaspoonful mixed spice


    4 oz raisins


    3 oz glac茅 cherries

    陆 tablespoon black treacle


    1 tablespoon rum or brandy


    RecipeClean the fruit, peel, sultanas and raisins.


    Chop the cherries and almonds.


    Mix all the fruit together, rubbing it with a little flour to stop it sticking. Shake off the surplus flour.


    Warm the butter to soften it, then cream it with the sugar until it is light.


    Break the eggs and beat them lightly.


    Whisk and beat the warm butter paste as you slowly add the eggs, until it is fluffy.


    In order, gently mix in the


    mixed spice,


    flour, using a sieve,


    fruit and rind,


    lemon juice and milk,


    treacle and liquor,


    so that the mixture is of a stiff dropping consistency.


    Add the mixture to a 8'; tin lined with greaseproof paper.


    Bake the cake for 2 hours at 350掳F.


    Cover the top of the cake with a piece of greaseproof paper.


    Bake the cake for 2 to 2陆 hours at 300掳F.


    Marzipan pasteCover the top of the cake with this marzipan paste when you bring it out of storage. The paste may need a few days to harden.





    Ingredients8 oz ground almonds


    10 oz icing sugar


    A few drops lemon juice


    1 egg white


    A little apricot jam


    RecipeApply the jam in a thin layer to the top of the cake to help the marzipan stick.


    Knead the remaining ingredients into a paste.


    Spread the paste over the jam.


    Run a rolling pin lightly over the top of the cake to make it level for the icing.


    If you have difficulty spreading the paste onto the cake and flattening the top, you can instead roll it like pastry on a board first, using castor sugar in place of flour.





    IcingAfter applying the marzipan paste to the cake, use a palette knife to spread this icing onto it, keeping some back to use for decoration. The icing may need a few days to harden.





    Ingredients2 egg whites


    1 lb icing sugar

    2 drops blue food colouring (optional)


    RecipeBreak the eggs carefully and put the whites into a basin.

    Chocolate %26amp; Zucchini Cake





    - 1 1/2 C (180 g) all-purpose flour


    - 1/2 C (60 g) whole wheat flour (of course, you can just use 2 C / 240 g all-purpose flour, I was just trying to be good)


    - 1/2 C (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder


    - 1 tsp baking soda


    - 1/2 tsp baking powder


    - 1/2 tsp salt


    - 1/2 C (110 g) butter, softened


    - 1 C (160 g) light brown sugar


    - 1 tsp vanilla extract


    - 1 tsp instant coffee granules (the Nescaf茅 type, the stronger the better)


    - 3 eggs, at room temperature


    - 2 C zucchini, unpeeled, grated (about 280 g, two medium)


    - 1 C (170 g) chocolate chips





    Topping :


    - 40 g light brown sugar


    - 1/2 C (70 g) hazelnuts, toasted and chopped





    (Serves 10.)





    Preheat the oven to 180掳C (360掳F). Grease a 3 quart (3 L) springform cake pan, and flour it or sprinkle with cocoa powder : this is to help the cake unmold easily, especially if you're not using a magic non-stick pan.





    In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.





    In your food processor, combine the sugar and butter, and mix until fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and espresso powder, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition.





    Spoon in the flour mixture, reserving the last half-cup of it. Mix thoroughly, the batter will be thick.





    Add the grated zucchini and the chocolate chips to the reserved flour mixture, and toss to coat. Fold in the batter, and blend thoroughly, it's fun. Pour into the prepared cake pan, and flatten the surface with a spatula.





    In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients, and sprinkle all over the batter. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Turn out on a rack to cool for half an hour, then unmold.
    Not I that doesent sound good. And I like some Kosher Foods. I'm not Jewish but I like some
    Somehow Zuchini and chocolate dont' sound right. Are you sure?

    Hi-does anyone have a recipe for simple white cake frosting?

    (there may be one on the powdered sugar box - lol.)Hi-does anyone have a recipe for simple white cake frosting?
    Yes, most powdered sugar boxes have them.


    I like to use cream cheese %26amp; powdered sugar.


    It tastes better to me than using butter or margerine.


    Just take the recipe on the box and substitute cream cheese for the amount of margerine called for.Hi-does anyone have a recipe for simple white cake frosting?
    I'll give you two.





    BUTTER CREAM FROSTING


    1/4 cup butter


    2 cups powdered sugar - firmly packed


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    1 teaspoon vanilla


    2 tablespoons cream or whole milk





    Cream butter until very soft and smooth; then add sugar gradually, creaming thoroughly. Add salt and vanilla. Work in the cream using just enough to produce a smooth spreading consistency. Amount is sufficient for two 8-inch layers.





    GLOSSY WHITE ICING (My very favorite but time consuming. Try it one day when you have time.)





    1 1/8 cups sugar


    1/3 cup water


    2 egg whites


    pinch salt


    1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar


    3 tablespoons powdered sugar - pressed down firmly


    1 teaspoon vanilla





    Put sugar and water into saucepan, stir, place over low heat. Turn egg whites into mixing bowl, add salt, beat to a foam, then add cream of tartar and beat until stiff with a wire whisk, gradually adding the powdered sugar as you beat. Mixture should have moist, shiny peaks when all the sugar is beaten in. When boiling sugar and water syrup is cooked to 236 degrees, pour slowly but continuously over the egg whtes while beating. Continue beating until cold. Stir in vanilla.*





    *This is the original recipe. I never, ever, attempted to use a wire whisk on this one. At no time in my life would my arms have stood this torture! Instead I use a free standing mixer. It will take a while for the cooked syrup to get cold, but it is worth every minute.

    Does anyone know a sugar free cake icing recipe?

    I use Splenda for everything...the Brown Sugar Splenda is great.Does anyone know a sugar free cake icing recipe?
    don't put the cake in the fridgeDoes anyone know a sugar free cake icing recipe?
    Cup for cup splenda is the way to go. Taste like sugar and is made from sugar with less then half the calories. If your a diabetic I believe that this is the way to go about it.


    I haven't seen brown but it sounds nice.
    I don't know about sugar free, but you can use a sugar recipe and replace the sugar with splenda. It works cup for cup like sugar.

    White Vegan Cake





    Ingredients:





    1-1/2 cups flour


    3/4 cup sugar


    2 tsp baking powder


    1/4 tsp salt


    3/4 cup soy milk


    2 tsp vanilla

    This is a great place for vegan recipes. The website is easy to navigate and the recipes are great!





    http://vegweb.com/





    There are tons of other sites if you google it.
    Ingredients:


    ***The basic recipe:***


    1 1/2 cup flour


    1/2 cup oil


    1 cup sugar


    1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    1 cup (scant) soy/rice milk/water (water works fine)








    Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]





    Directions:





    Bake at 375 for 30 min. in greased pan.





    Note: this is a small recipe. I'd double it for 4 servings, triple it if your house likes cake! (I've made 4 versions of this cake in the past two weeks for my house, and each disappeared overnight!)





    Variations:





    Sweet and Light Lemon Cake: add 1/4-1/2 cup lemon juice instead of the water/rice milk (that's for a double or triple recipe)





    Orange Cake: add 2 cup Orange juice instead of water and cut back sugar (for a double recipe)





    Torte: cut 1 or 2 apples into slices and lay them on top. you can sprinkle with cinnamon and/or sugar if you'd like. PLUMS actually wok really well like this - cut them in half...you need about 10. (again, this is for a double or triple recipe). be sure to make this in a large round pan for the right look. you may also want to use the full quantity of oil so that it's richer (instead of eggs, you know).

    Funnel Cake























    A medium funnel is needed for this recipe.








    1 cup whole wheat flour


    1 1/4 teaspoons salt


    1/2 teaspoon baking soda


    3/4 teaspoon baking powder


    2 teaspoons honey


    1 egg


    7/8 cup milk, warm


    Oil for deep-frying


    Honey or maple syrup





    Sift together all the dry ingredients and then add the honey, egg and milk. Beat until smooth. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large cast-iron skillet, or other heavy pot. To test the correct temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it floats to the top and bubbles appear around the edges, you are ready to make the funnel cakes.





    Hold your finger at the bottom of the funnel to stop up the batter, and then remove finger to pour batter. Using a spiral motion, let the batter pour into the oil. The cakes should look like free-form spiral sculpture. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and serve hot. The number of servings depends upon the amount of batter you use for each cake.





    Note: We dusted with confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon. We doubled this recipe with excellent results.

    FUNNEL CAKE





    3-4 cups all purpose flour


    3 eggs


    2 cups milk


    1/4 cup sugar


    2 teaspoons baking powder


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    powdered sugar (for topping)


    vegetable oil (for deep frying - heat to 375 degrees)





    Beat the eggs, then add the sugar and milk. Sift 2 cups of flour, the salt, and the baking powder and add to the milk, sugar, and egg mixture.


    Mix while adding more flour until the batter is smooth and not too thick. The funnel should have an opening of at least 1/2 inch and be able to hold around a cup of batter. Put your finger over the bottom and add about a cup of batter. Remove your finger and allow the batter to pour into the center of the oil. Be careful, the oil may splash!





    Gradually swirl the batter outward in a circular motion, or criss-cross back and forth to make a cake about 7 or 8 inches round.





    We used to draw our initials to personalize our cakes! Check it with a pair of tongs and turn it when the bottom becomes golden brown.





    When both sides are done, remove with tongs and let it drip on a paper towel.





    Funnel cake is often served with powdered sugar on top. You could also use molasses, maple syrup, or fruit preserves.
