Blackout Cake

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 20:48:43 -0400

Barbra Streisand's favorite chocolate cake. Growing up in Brooklyn, a local bakery used to make this. Not sure if it's the same one, but I have never come across another recipe for Blackout cake, so if this isn't it, it must be awfully close! A great, sinfully rich cake! Prep time includes chilling time -- posted by yooper

Paul Newman's Chocolate - Orange Angel Food Cake

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 20:00:09 -0400

This has to be one of the most incredible desserts I have ever had -- let alone made! Paul Newman was on Oprah several years ago with this recipe of his, and it is absolutely delicious.

Lincoln Douglas Cake

Sun, 23 Oct 2005 18:19:48 -0400

This cake was served to Lincoln and Douglas during one of the stops on their debate. It is from a very old calender style cookbook of cakes. The entry starts "This cake was served to these two gentlemen after the debate with some homemade wine on the veranda of the authors grandfather's home [Jacob J Oyler] in Freeport Ill. The cake was made especially for the occasion by his daughter Miss Caroline Oyler." The Ice Cream icing still has me puzzled. While the author included may frostings and icings, she did not include any ice cream frosting recipe. The only assumption I can make is that you simply use homemade ice cream to coat and it still has me puzzled. -- posted by DR. House

Elvis' Gooey Butter Cake

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 22:56:07 -0400

This is a gooey butter cake, perfected by the lady herself, Ms. Paula Deen, and is a tribute to Elvis Presley. She's my favorite chef and I'll give anything she makes a try, even if it doesn't interest me. This recipe is definitely worth a try and takes one of my childhood favorites (peanut butter and banana sandwiches) to new heights. -- posted by Krystal-Belle

The Famous cupcakes from Grey's Anatomy. Izzie had trouble remembering the secret ingredient to her mother's cupcake recipe -- in fact, she needed a psychic to help her remember, if you recall. But now that she remembers what it is (coconut extract!), you should have trouble making the cupcakes yourself. -- posted by Lani D

I haven't made this yet but I want to. The recipe is in a book I read called "All of The Above" by Shelley Pearsall. It's a fictional story but there are a few recipes in it. In the book this is on a menu that says "sweet enough to make tongues start talking." -- posted by picky-picky

Martha Washington's Great Cake

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:35:12 -0500

Just the other day--while laying on the couch being sick--I watched Martha Stewart's TV program. Caroline Kennedy is writing a book featuring recipes from our country's past. Martha brought out her old catering service HUGE Hobart mixer, and it was fun (being sick & all "fun" is relative!) to watch her put this together---WOW! Today I was paging through a "Christmas traditions" book my SIL gave me a few years ago and wow--here's the recipe Martha S. & Caroline Kennedy were re-creating on the TV program. The book says, "From an old manuscript dated 'Mount Vernon, 1781" made by Martha Custis Washington for her grandmama." I'm purely guessing on the serving amounts. -- posted by Debber

Chocolate Cake Made With Orange Marmalade

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:39:41 -0500

Another recipe from "To Set Before a Queen", by a former cook for Princess Elizabeth (before she was crowned queen). She says that this was her most popular cake with the royal family, and that she sent it by request to Windsor, Balmoral, and Sandringham, as well as making it for the Queen Mother for her birthday at her request. I made it for my MIL for her birthday one year--it was delicious. The marmalade adds a nice touch to the cake, and the coffee icing is perfect with the rich cake. Times are estimated and don't include time to cool. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

Ace's Ruby Red Grapefruit and Orange Cake by Melissa Winner

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:45:41 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping. From Melissa Winner, Gulfport, MS, as entered in Cuisinart Stand Mixer competition, and later entered on Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown as Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake. I prefer a glaze such as this on my Bundt cakes, so no refrigeration is needed, although Paula Deen likes a cream cheese frosting on hers (see Recipe #324804). This can also be made as two 9-inch layers, which would work better with the cream cheese frosting. Ms. Winner recommends serving with dreamsicle ice cream and a sprig of mint. -- posted by KateL

Good Eats Pound Cake Light - Alton Brown

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:08:42 -0400

Transcribed from the 10/26/09 episode. Slow-churned European style butters have smaller butterfat crystals, which leads to smaller, finer bubbles and a finer texture in the finished cake, so splurge on the expensive butter for this! Be sure to use cake flour, not all-purpose; the finer particle size, the lower protein and the bleaching all lead to a better, more tender texture in the final cake. Substituting buttermilk for some of the eggs and butter lightens the cake, lowers the fat and calories, and adds a tangy note; Alton recommends whole buttermilk, not low-fat or non-fat. It's technically not a pound cake anymore, but we won't quibble with such good eats. -- posted by DrGaellon
