Twit Twooo, Hooting Halloween Owls - Halloween Cupcakes/Muffins

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:29:06 -0400

These are GREAT fun! Bake some chocolate fairy cakes, muffins or cupcakes, decorate them and then turn them into Hooting Halloween Owls! I made these last year for a children's Halloween party, and they all loved them. The recipe is based on our British fairy cake or angel cake recipe, where the top of the baked cake or muffin is cut off to create the "wings". I have stated some sweets (candy) that are British - please use your own local sweets to decorate the owls. This is a wonderful recipe idea that I have changed and adapted from Tana Ramsay, the wife of the famous Gordon Ramsay.....she has some great family recipes, of which this is one. (Preparation time includes the time to decorate and ice them after they have been baked.) My Recipe #328085 would also be great Halloween companions for these hooting owls! -- posted by French Tart

Fudge Cupcake Frosting

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:52:10 -0400

This is the frosting recipe that goes with the Fudge Cupcake recipe I uploaded. Will frost 18 cupcakes. You can also use those to frost a cake as well. If you have the time cool the cupcakes and cover them, let them sit for several hours before frosting them...it's makes them even better. -- posted by Foxfire13

Spooky Spider Cupcakes/Muffins for a Howling Halloween!

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:28:38 -0400

I JUST love these little spider cakes, when I make them, their faces make me laugh - well, I am easily pleased! Furthermore, they are VERY tasty - they have a much better flavour than NORMAL spiders I find, their legs are a little too chewy! The cake mixture is a double chocolate cake mixture - with cocoa and chocolate pieces, topped off with a chocolate butter cream. The decorations are made using Liquorice Allsorts and liquorice strings/laces or Catherine wheels as we call them in Great Britain. They are easy to make and can be frozen before you decorate them. I made these for TOTM Cooking School September 2008 - I hope you find the step-by-step photos handy when you come to bake and decorate them. An idea we had for an adult Halloween party - turn the spiders upside down so they have their legs in the air, and scatter wine corks amongst them on a plate........only joking! :-) If you fancy some wise companions for these spooky spiders, try these: Recipe #326716. -- posted by French Tart

I found this recipe in the bonus book from Simple and Delicious Magazine. This raspberry-filled cake is an especially lovely ending for a holiday feast. Don't be intimidated by the list of ingredients. It takes some time, but this show-stopping dessert is really quite simple, is what the add says!!! I haven't made this yet, but sounds so delish and looks so elegant. -- posted by diner524

Chocolate Roulade With Mascarpone Filling

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 00:36:17 -0400

We made this for Rosh Hashonah this year. It is a wonderful and very pretty chocolate roulade. This recipe is also wheat-free(uses potato flour), so it is suitable for coeliacs. Diana's Desserts, have had this since 2006 and I felt that, this, was the dessert for the High Holy Days. It was scrumptious and decadent! -- posted by Manami

My daughter's reception(age 5) classes are named after these insects, so when they had a bake sale for charity, I made these(with her help) and they went down a storm! And we had a lot of fun icing them. Use what chocolate you can get for the details. I used ready-to-use icing writing tube for speed, but you could make your own and pipe it on. -- posted by froglet

Dark Chocolate Icing

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:19:00 -0500

I fumbled this together the other day while trying to ease my conscience over some oven donuts I had just made. I really wanted a rich chocolate icing for them, but just couldn't bring myself to break out the heavy cream and double boiler. This is simple, but so dark and decadent tasting that I sat and ate a fair amount with a spoon. Enjoy! -- posted by Erin R.

this is a frosting i came up with,,, I dont like SWEET icings and most i've tried are just that. it you like sweeter you can always use semi sweet chocolate instead of dark, and or add more sugar. you get between 4-6 cups of frosting, ive never measured. as a side note I take the left over frosting and fold some whipped topping into,, makes a good mousse. -- posted by jamiej

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:22:02 -0500

This is a really easy, yummy, fluffy recipe that goes wonderfully with cupcakes. The only problem I've found with it is that I need a little bit more soymilk than the recipe calls for so I spoon some in with a teaspoon. But the extra work is worth it. A mixer, bowl and plastic spatula is needed for this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1084092

Nothing better than biting into a moist chocolate cupcake and being surprised by a sweet creamy filling! Unless you're my husband, who doesn't like frosting. . . This is an adaptation of my MIL's recipe for Ho Ho Cupcakes. It is mostly from scratch, but can be simplified by substituting a can of your favorite prepared frosting for the tops of the cupcakes. These are a huge hit at my childrens birthday parties, with the adults as well as the kids! -- posted by KrisGoodNews

Subtle flavour but very nice and moist. Made my wedding cake from this recipe. Freezes well with or without icing. Muffins can also be made from this mixture.

Granny's Chocolate Icing

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:40:30 -0500

My mother has used this recipe for years. It makes a "hard" icing; the icing gets firm quite quickly, so you have to work fast. The original recipe came from "Winning Seasons", a cookbook from the Junior League of Tuscaloosa, Al, in 1979. You can substitute 4 tablespoons cocoa for the unsweetened chocolate, if necessary. I usually use it on a sheet cake, rather than layers. -- posted by Librarybaker

Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Cake

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:20:09 -0500

From "Cake Mix Magic." Uses a devil's food cake mix (a nice change from the yellow cake mix seen in other recipes for similar cakes). Basically, a chocolate banana cake with chocolate peanut butter glaze. Yum. The author notes that chunky peanut butter can be used for the glaze if desired but will not produce a smooth satiny glaze. Prep time is an estimate. -- posted by the_cookie_lady

Chocolate Cake With Milk Chocolate-Peanut Butter Frosting and Pe

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:06:31 -0500

Twelve-Layer Mocha Cake

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:08:08 -0500

From Gourmet magazine: "What better way to celebrate the holidays than with something fabulous? In this elegant European-style cake, thin layers of different flavors come together in each bite. Fine-textured spongecake, soaked in espresso syrup, plays off of crisp hazelnut meringue, while the coffee and mocha buttercreams intensify the richness of a collapsed chocolate soufflé. The faint, bitter edge of dark coffee essentially saves this dessert from itself." -- posted by Sweet Jezebel

Cocoa-Buttermilk Birthday Cake

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:30:18 -0500

This is one of those rare, fail-proof layer cakes that tastes as good as it looks. It is tender, moist, and light. The recipe is from "Baking: From My Home to Yours", by Dorie Greenspan. She makes it with Chocolate-Malt Buttercream, a soft, sweet chocolate frosting with "just a hint of malt flavor and a slight tickle of sugar on the tongue" (it's delicious but slightly grainy), but you can choose any fillings and frostings you like. -- posted by blucoat

Chocolate Sticky Date Pudding With Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:26:30 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Super Food Ideas, September 2008 (#1 Australian food magazine). Leftover cake and sauce can be saved for up to 3 days: store cake in airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerate sauce in an airtight container. Whiskey is an optional ingredient. I have tried to give U.S. equivalents of measurements. Double cream is the name in Britain for a very rich cream containing 48% butterfat. Whipping cream in this country, by contrast, contains between 30% and 40% butterfat. Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat. I am guessing that spreadable mascarpone will yield a similar rich creamy taste to finish off this dessert. -- posted by KateL

A very versatile Buttercream. This recipe produces enough buttercream to cover three 9 inch round layer cakes. This recipe can be turned into chocolate buttercream, or spiced buttercream. You will need to have a candy thermometer, an electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment, a pastry brush and a bowl of water. This is my favorite buttercream! It's sweet, but not too rich and just the right consistency to do just about anything with it. The recipe is from my pastry arts school. -- posted by pastrygirl_5280

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Raspberry White Cake With Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:40:15 -0500

This cake is moist, light & so simple to make. The trick is putting the cake in the freezer immediately after baking. You can substitute the raspberry preserves with just about anything. Caramel is wonderful. Give it a try. -- posted by shadowgirl...

Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:15:54 -0500

Can't decide between cookies or cake? Have both! I discovered this recipe on a blog (cupcakeproject.com) and made a few adjustments to the directions as the original was a little difficult to follow. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious and complete with a raw cookie dough surprise on the inside! Topped with some cookie dough icing and this makes for a fantastic treat for any occasion! (This recipe looks overwhelming, I admit, but it's pretty easy and well worth the effort!) NOTE: If you use any flour other than self-rising cake flour as the recipe calls for, it will cut the number of cupcakes in half!!) -- posted by pott3r

Really Chocolate Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:33:51 -0500

Recipe from Hershey's Kitchen. This cake is a family favorite and one of the best i have come by. Its a little different with the cup of boiling water but the ending result is phenomenal. Not to mention the frosting, not only does it go perfect with the cake; it is to die for. I make it every time i need to ice any of my desserts with chocolate. Hope you love it as much as i do. -- posted by Ernie Bernie

Old-Fashioned Yellow Cake With Chocolate Icing

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:23:39 -0500

When I first got married, my husband told me that his favorite cake was a simple yellow cake with chocolate icing. I wanted to make a birthday cake for him from scratch, and this was the result. He never would eat a box cake again! This is especially nice with a tall glass of milk. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:41:15 -0500

This is a rich chocolate frosting with a hint of cream cheese flavor. It is not overly sweet and will not overpower any cake that you have baked. If you are looking for something nice and sweet but not over the top, this is the recipe for you. I came up with this for that reason for me. I don't like milk chocolate frosting or anything extrememly heavy because I make my cake light and flavorful and do not want to hide that. -- posted by moallen31

Boston Cream Pie

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:58:27 -0500

An ancient Good Housekeeping recipe that I religiously make every New Years day. If you've never made a scratch cake, you don't know what you're missing. Using cake flour is a must. See Lennie's recipe #87689. Be sure to properly measure your flour by lightly spooning into a measure cup until overflowing then using the backside of a knife to level off. Too little flour will produce a callapsed cake and too much will have wet spots with dense layers. Cake layers freezeable. Prep time also includes assembly time. -- posted by gailanng

Chocolate Truffle Frosting ( and Filling )

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:35:01 -0500

Here is a frosting I mostly use since ages, it is creamy, foamy, not too sweet, contains no icing sugar . There is a lot of beating involved, and once you have reached the foamy texture you have to work quickly before it gets too firm to handle . Frosting pipes perfect rosettes, truffles , frosting macaroons, fairy cakes, and if sandwiching and frosting a larger cake just double the recipe. -- posted by shirlgirl

This is the easiest pandan cake I've ever made, and best tasting too! I made my husband rank his favourite cakes that I've ever made and I've never been able to outdo the Choco Banana cake until this one!.We're both watching our weight, so I've reduced alot of sugar in the recipe, so it's not too sweet at all. Enjoy! -- posted by Clabibi

Microwaveable Chocolate Ganache

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:35:06 -0500

No double boiler needed! Use it for icing or filling a cake, or to make truffles. Recipes vary slightly so I wanted to post my go-to ganache so I can find it every time. And you can easily double or triple this one. My basic ganache uses a 2:1 ratio of dark chocolate to heavy cream, 3:1 ratio of white chocolate to heavy cream, somewhere in between for milk chocolate. Those measurements don't translate perfectly in a measuring cup so the 2:1 ratio is below (most common) The better the chocolate the richer the ganache. I love mixing semi-sweet with bittersweet. At room temperature it's a perfect truffle consistency. It can be flavored with extracts or liquers. Hazelnut extract makes it so yummy! Grand Marnier would be good too, but is delicious plain. -- posted by Chef #1530933
