Angel Molasses Cake

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:30:38 -0400

A Crosby's Molasses recipe. They recommend using their "Fancy Molasses". Gotta love a cake that will stand on its own without frosting. Sometimes you don't have time to frost or just don't need the extra calories. Prep time is a guess-timate. -- posted by Kat's Mom

My Mom's Almond Cake

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:02:10 -0400

I'm a chocoholic so it is a big deal when I say that THIS is my favorite cake. It is simple, yummy, makes two small cakes or 1 large and is a little ugly. You do need two eight inch spring form pans or 1 9 inch spring form pan...worth the investment...i make two eight inch cakes. Very moist and keeps for TWO WEEKS in a sealed container just getting better with time. You'll be asked for the recipe. This makes a great gift, housewarming, dessert or great as a snack with coffee. -- posted by Liza at Recipezaar

Chocolate-Apricot Pound Cake

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:13:17 -0500

Warren Brown in "How To Bake Cakes from Scratch" says of the cake that it reminds him of a tiger! "I love the speckles of orange and brown created by combining mini-chunks of apricot and chocolate in the cake. The colors make me think of a tiger or of my hometown pro football team." Combining dried apricots with bittersweet chocolate against a pleasantly moist yet crunchy butter cake is sinfully satisfying for anyone close enough to catch a whiff of this cake fresh out of the oven. ;) Not too sweet, this batter is quick to mix and a perfect treat for starting or ending the day. *Please note; the computer will not allow me to list how much sugar is needed for creaming - so please be aware that it is 2.25 cups or 18 ozs extra-fine granulated sugar. :( -- posted by Manami

French Tart's Classic Madeleines: Madelines: Little Fluted Cakes

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:52:55 -0500

These are one of my favourite French cakes; delicate little light sponge cakes, baked in special fluted trays and sprinkled lightly with icing sugar, so elegant, light and airy! Some are flavoured with vanilla extract only, whilst other recipes suggest using lemon or orange; my recipe uses a combination of vanilla extract and lemon. These are ideal served with afternoon coffee or with a glass of dessert wine after a meal, just as the French serve them. You can also dip the tips into melted chocolate, but I prefer mine to be a little more subtle - but it is up to you! -- posted by French Tart

Whipped Coconut Cream

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:24:49 -0500

This is the perfect topper for waffles, soy ice cream sundaes, cupcakes, desserts, or pretty well anything else that calls for a little something extra! It uses agave nectar or Maple syrup instead of sugar, making it a little less of a sugar shock for some diabetic fols. This is a Vegan whipped cream so good, it will even please the non-vegans at the table. For this recipe, you will need to create a cold version of a double boiler. Fill a small pot about half way with cold water and ice cubes, and place a bowl on top of the pot ( you may want to do some measuring first, because you do not want the bowl to fall into the pot). This is a great way to make sure the whipped cream stays chilled while you give it a good whip! Feel free to play with it, add some spices or flavors to it to enhance the flavour of your dish. -- posted by Big Fat Vegan

Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Icing: a Generational Recipe

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 20:45:09 -0500

This recipe for moist, rich Carrot Cake has been passed down in my friend's family for generations. The difference that makes it so wonderful? Baby food! It may sound weird, but the baby food is actually pureed carrots and water--that's it! I don't like Carrot Cake...but this is my favorite now! Enjoy! FYI: The original recipe says to bake at 350* for 30-40 minutes, but my oven cooked the sides too quickly, so I had to turn it to 325* after about 20 minutes and then cooked it for 10 more minutes...perfectly moist and delicious! -- posted by Boomer and Pixie's Mama

Tennessee Stack Cake

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:54:55 -0500

Recipe by Andrea Hall Puyallup, Wash. The article reads ... This eight-layer cake, an Appalachian specialty, is known by various names, including apple stack cake, pioneer stack cake, and washday stack cake. The last name refers to how the cookie-like layers were often baked on washday and then layered with apple butter and left to sit for a day or two before being served. As the cake sits, the cookie-like layers soak up moisture from the apple butter and soften, becoming tender and cake-like in the process. -- posted by Charlotte J

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

Algerian Basboussa - Semolina Cake With Syrup

There are many, many versions of Basboussa ( and many spelling variations!) throughout the Arab world. Some of these are a spongy cake-like texture & some are more of a grainy texture. This Algerian version is more of a cake-like texture - which happens to be my favourite. I absolutely love the addition of coconut in the recipe, it really adds something to the Basboussa. This recipe is extremely simple to make & is delicious served with coffee or tea. It is definitely a Ramadan staple in our home! -- posted by Um Safia

The name "Chocolate Banana Cake" does not do this dessert justice. Not even remotely.

Just incredible. Add nuts for extra flavor. The recipe comes from a Canadian Living cookbook and can be found on the Canadian Living website. Worth the time it takes to make, particularly for special occasions. -- posted by KimEBdos

My Favorite Lower-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:17:24 -0400

I don't like the overly sweet cream cheese frostings out there, so this is perfect for me. I add just a small amount of lemon juice to give a more tart taste, but you would never know it was in there. No softening the cream cheese (though you do have to plan ahead with the butter). No whipping to a certain point that occurs for all of ten seconds before it's ruined. -- posted by nsomniak6

Ultimate Chocolate Cake

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:51:33 -0400

Very rich and very yummy! I made this for my boyfriend who's a chocoholic and he loves it. We found it's best served with ice cream or cream just to take the edge of the richness. The rrecipe is by Angela Nilsen. I modified it slightly (well the way it's cooked) and it works so much better this way. -- posted by Leah567

My cousin found this recipie in, guessing from the logo in the photocopied page she gave me, Relish magazine. We made it together when I was staying with her, and it was delicious! sadly, I didn't take any pictures of the finished product. I copied this magazine page almost word-for-word, so nobody sue me please. -- posted by Ghost Kitten

Fudgy Mocha Frosting W/Pecans--Or Hazelnut Coffee Frosting!

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:20:47 -0400

A quick basic cocoa frosting that isn't overly sweet -- I like it with toasted pecans! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules -- or leave out the pecans, and add the coffee granules, hazelnut extract and 1/2 cup hazelnut spread to make a hazelnut coffee frosting! (SEE NOTE) This frosting can be used on Recipe #285364 :) and is a great addition to Recipe #266977 :) -- posted by Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle

Chocolate Ice Cream Cake (But Not Like You Think)

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:03:16 -0400

I found this recipe on http://www.omnomicon.com. It originally came from an old church cookbook and was contributed by Connie Aubuchon. Unlike your typical modern ice cream cake, this one actually has the ice cream baked in. It looks really easy and has a rave review from the writer of the article in which it was posted. -- posted by Ransomed by Fire

Meringue Buttercream Frosting - 1st Generation

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:07:22 -0400

Sophmore year of highschool I jobshadowed a pastry chef, and she told me that the best icing to use for cake is meringe buttercream. So I went online, found a cute little blog that told me all the steps in detail. mmhmhmm. Makes very fluffy frosting, great for decorating! Has a great texture, but unfortunately, it's VERY fattening because of all the butter, and also it has a pretty prominent butter flavor. That's my disclaimer. But don't be discouraged! When I discovered this recipe, I never went back to regular buttercream. Anyway, I'm working on a less fattening version involving gelatin. So check back! -- posted by MandyLovesPandys

Italian Meringue Buttercream

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:18:52 -0400

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

My Mum's Signature New Year Cake

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:26 -0400

My Mum found this recipe somewhere when I was about 5 and it was such a hit that for several successive years we had only this cake for any holiday. Even though we later introduced more variation to our desserts menu, this one is still the biggest favourite. It may seem complicated, but I was 13 when I made it for the first time completely on my own - so it should not be too difficult. Still, it is somewhat time-consuming, so I now usually make it only once a year, for the New Year's Day. It is big enough for a company of 8-10 people. One of the most enjoyable things is having your guests to try and guess what the filling is made of (no one ever succeeds, trust me :) ). The prep time includes time needed to make the batter, the filling and the topping and to assemble the cake. -- posted by Nat L

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
