Coconut Cake With Fluffy Icing

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 20:06:44 -0500

What could be more satisfying than coconut cake with a lemon filling? I personally thought the filling was a bit tart and would probably cut down the lemon juice/zest a bit next time as I felt the tartness was a bit overpowering. I loved the frosting. It was nice and fluffy--kind of marshmallow like, but not as sweet as a marshmallow. This recipe is one of Art Smith's from O Magazine. -- posted by Sharlene~W

This can be baked in mini muffin tins also (makes about 24) remember to reduce baking time. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Canadian Maple Walnut Layer Cake With Fudge Frosting

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:43:24 -0400

This never fails to please; walnut and maple syrup sponge cakes, which are frosted and sandwiched together with maple fudge frosting/icing, divine! This is NOT a light airy-fairy sponge cake, as it is made with soft brown sugar to enhance the fudge and maple flavours - and it needs to be fairly robust to hold the walnuts in the cake mixture. It is however, a soft pudding type cake with lots of texture and an amazing taste. Of course this can be made with excellent maple syrup from the USA, but I have called it a Canadian cake, as the maple syrup and maple extract was sent to me by a kind Zaar friend in Canada. The cake is baked in two cake tins; the two cakes can then be cut in two again, making a three-layer cake, (four pieces of cake = three layers) it depends on how high they rise. If you do make a three-layer cake, you may need a little more fudge frosting and filling. This cake keeps very well in an airtight container or tin for up to a week. The cake can also be frozen before icing and frosting defrost it overnight, then assemble and ice the cake when fully defrosted. Pecans can also be used in place of walnuts but I prefer the taste of walnuts with the maple syrup. -- posted by French Tart

Egg-Free Triple Layer Coconut Cake

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:34:50 -0400

This is a cool, refreshing refrigerated layer cake with intense coconut flavor. Using coconut milk in the cake batter gives the cake a moist texture, makes up for the lack of eggs and gives the cake a light coconut flavor. I have had success with this egg replacer mixture in other baking recipes. It is the equivalent of using two large eggs. The icing is creamy and delicious with flakes of coconut throughout and sprinkled atop the iced cake. Please note that in order for the icing to adhere properly to the cake, the cake itself MUST be completely cooled. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

It's a hit no matter what you do with it. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Pink Lamingtons

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:48:56 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. From Marie Claire. This is the most popular Australian snack, a sure winner at a bake sale. And is it easy! The more traditional Lamingtons have cocoa, but dare to be different. If using cornmeal, pulverize it in a food processor to get a fine flour texture. Preparation time includes 8-hours sitting time. -- posted by KateL

Pistachio Cake With White Chocolate Buttercream

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:57:45 -0400

This recipe is fabulous! It is the kind of cake that brings WOW's from your guests! ;) I've had it for eons just never posted! The caramelized pistachio shards make the cake look & taste like it was specially baked in a high-end bakery! BH&G Magazine, published in 2002, Meredith Corp. It has an hour chilling time and an hour standing time, for which I didn't factor in the time..It has a long laundry list but you will see it all goes together quite nicely, as it has a few item repeated.;) It is truly worth it!! :) -- posted by Manami

Chock-full of grated apples and chopped walnuts, this is a wonderfully dense and moist cake.It is especially delicious at the height of apple season, however, it is so tasty that I'm sure that you'll want to make it year round. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

German Chocolate Cake Frosting

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:23:05 -0400

With how easy and delicous this recipe is, there is no excuses for anyone to rely on canned German Chocolate frosting anymore. This recipe is tried and true courtesy of my favorite cook...my mom. My husband loves German chocolate cake, and this frosting is what makes it. Once again, I hope you enjoy this as much as we do. -- posted by Johnsdeere

Sour cream cake with toffee and fudge -- what is not to like? All the ingredients go so well together! Chef Emeril shared this recipe with Good Morning America. In his new book "From Emeril's Kitchens: Favorite Recipes from Emeril's Restaurants" chef Emeril has combined his most frequently requested major dishes from his menus. Inactive prep time 30 minutes.;) Am just keeping this here so I won't misplace it. -- posted by Manami

Autumn Maple Pecan Layer Cake With Penuche Fudge Frosting

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:08:20 -0400

This wonderful cake recipe is an adapted one from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The penuche fudge frosting is an old Southern recipe. Makes a very attractive presentation, especially when the cake plate is adorned with beautiful autumn leaves. This cake freezes beautifully, just allow the cake to defrost completely before filling and frosting the layers. I recommend Canadian or Vermont maple syrup and Georgia or Texas pecans, but you can use any pure maple syrup and could use walnuts, although we prefer pecans in this recipe. -- posted by BecR

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
