Brandied Peach Cake I - Lower Fat and Calories but Not in Taste

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:48:58 -0500

Based on the prize-winning Brandied Peach Cake recipe. I'm sure some Southern grandmother is rolling over in her grave because of my modifications, but for those of us who can't do a slice of cake with 35 grams of fat and 600 calories, this one may be a more appealing compromise, without losing the moistness (thanks to applesauce) and peach flavor. My son and I made this in 4 mini loaf pans to give as holiday gifts. Grandpa loved it! -- posted by supercrafty

Moist Banana Bread

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:13:16 -0500

The secret ingredient here is pudding! Either banana flavoured or vanilla pudding works great. It makes the banana bread moist. Another tip is use bananas that are so overripe that they are all completely brown. This will add better flavour to the loaf. This recipe is all about the techniques which will help keep the loaf moist. Covering the loaf with foil while baking is necessary, and will ensure a moist top that isn't crusty. I've added some cake flour to the mix because Canadian wheat has alot of gluten and I wanted to make the bread dense but will bake evenly. Feel free to experiment with adding different types of nuts or sweeteners to make this receipe your own. So far I've baked this loaf in flimsy aluminum pans and glass pans, and the disposable aluminum works better than the glass pan. I've also made mini acorn-shaped bread in Williams-Sonoma decorative pan as well as the W-S bundt pan and had impressive results with pretty designs. If anyone tries it in a silicone pan, I'd love to hear how it turns out. Enjoy! -- posted by Full Tummy

Traditional Birthday Cake With Chocolate Icing (Kitchenette Cake

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:46:14 -0500

I adapted 2 recipes from my Betty Crocker cookbook that was handed down to me from a friend who is in her 80s. The cookbook belonged to her mother. The original recipes were called "Kitchenette Cake" and "Quick as a Wink Icing." I like this recipe because they make 1 layer of cake, which is perfect for my family of 4. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make more. -- posted by amensista

Light and easy, good for those cake cravings, as cake bases in trifles, or just a simple cake to serve for guests. In my picture - I had accidentally burnt the top, so I had cut it off and just coated the remainder in cream :) .... also, if you want your cake to be a bit sweeter - a teaspoon of vanilla essence when you're adding the sugar to the egg. -- posted by ByNDii

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

German White Chocolate Cake

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:03:27 -0500

This is an elegant-looking cake and one bite will have you sold! Please use the very best white chocolate that you can find.This is a cake that has to "stand alone" on the merits of the white chocolate, so if you're going to use the cheaper stuff, please pass this cake up. If you can find the clear vanilla, it's really worth it. I didn't list it but it really makes a difference. It's sometimes hard to find,but it won't do any harm using the regular. This was in Mass Recipes. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Ultra Moist Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:06:05 -0500

This cake is so easy, I throw it together when I make my bread machine challah as this recipe calls for whites, and the challah calls for yolks. The results are a delicious moist cake, that you can't help sneaking another piece. You can make it more chocolatey if you wish by folding in 1 C. of chocolate chips before baking. If this is made with Duncan Hines cake mix, it will be pareve (dairy (lactose) and meat free) If using the chocolate chips and want it pareve, be sure to use dairy free ones, I like the 365 whole foods brand. -- posted by Lee Hock

Copycat Cracker Barrel 40th Anniversary Double Fudge Cola Cake

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:57:49 -0500

Cracker Barrel brought back their famous double fudge cola cake for their 40th anniversary and I was able to give their version a try. It was quite different from most of the usual copycat recipes out there, so perhaps their current version has been somewhat adapted over time. There are no nuts in this version. I did base my version on one I originally found on copycat.com, and I think I have it just about right. Expect a very moist, rich, deep dark chocolate sheet cake with a very fudgey thick frosting. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Buche De Noel / Yule Log Cake

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:31:10 -0500

A traditional dessert served during the Christmas holidays in France, Belgium, Quebec, Lebanon and several other Christian-populated francophone countries as well as in the UK. As the name indicates, the cake is generally prepared, presented, and garnished so as to look like a log ready for the fire. The traditional bûche is made from a Génoise or other sponge cake, generally baked in a large, shallow Swiss roll pan, frosted, rolled to form a cylinder, and frosted again on the outside. The most common combination is a basic yellow sponge cake, frosted and filled with chocolate buttercream; however, many variations on the traditional recipe exist, possibly including chocolate cakes, ganache and espresso or otherwise-flavored frostings and fillings. Bûches are often served with a portion of one end of the cake cut off and set on top of the cake or protruding from its side to resemble a chopped off branch, and bark-like texture is often produced in the buttercream for further realism. These cakes are often decorated with powdered sugar to resemble snow, tree branches, fresh berries, and mushrooms made of meringue. -- posted by Shesbittersweet

Rab Torte (Rapska Torta)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:31:56 -0500

It is believed that Rab Torte was served for the first time in 1177. when Pope Alexander III, escorted by his ten galleys, was overtaken by a storm as he was crossing the Adriatic, and took cover under the cliffs and in the harbors of Croatian island Rab (and town), and thus by a quirk of fate arrived in Rab just after the renovation of the Cathedral of the Assumption, which he consecrated on the occasion. In order to enhance this unexpected ceremony and to express their respect, nuns of the Benedict order served him cake on the host Rab cake. The original recipe for the first Rab cake is kept in the archives of the Benedictine abbey of St. Andrew on the southern coast of island Rab. I am posting the recipe of madam Dunja from Vilma Patisserie from town Rab. -- posted by nitko

So so so good! So so so little work. Well, yeah, come on, you DO have to measure the ingredients. And a simple glaze would be good. But if you are really, I mean REALLY, pressed for time, place a paper doily on the cake, sift confectioner's sugar over it, lift carefully and there you have it. And this is sooo much better than a cake mix. I use an 8" square scalloped pan; that makes it look really special. Nawww, that's not cheating. It's just taking a little help where you can find it!

Bread Pudding Ummm . . . Best Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:00 -0500

I had never had Bread Pudding before I went to Vegas and had it at a buffet. Well, I fell in love. My obsession use to be chocolate, but since I've lost 52 lbs. I gave it up. NOW, my obsession has become THIS version of Bread Pudding. ( I have to be careful how much of this I make, so I don't gain all of that chocolate weight back!) I found this recipe on the "Momswhothink.com" website and I hope it is ok to post it here. This is true comfort food. Do not over bake or you will lose the eggy texture of the bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are the key ingredients to the rich flavor of this dessert. I use french bread, and have even used dry bread that has been sitting around a few days. I even used wheat french bread once and it turned out great! The sauce is more a vanilla, butter, cream sauce. I usually make about 4 times (yes, that is what I said!) in order to smother the bread pudding. One recipe of it is just not enough. Ummm. Make the sauce while the pudding is baking and you will save time. You can also use a Hard Sauce if you would rather. (recipe # 102574 sounds like a good one.) Even if you have never tried Bread Pudding, be daring, and try it. I use to turn my nose up at it, and now, I cannot wait for an excuse to make it, again and again. Enjoy! -- posted by terriers2

Rachel's Vanilla Cupcakes

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:08:39 -0500

For posterity. Open to some flavor variations and fun with food dye, so I included some tips from other recipes and my own experiments. I based the cake part off both a Food Network recipe plus one of my cake recipes. Yields 24 cupcakes, two 9" layer cakes, or one 13 x 9 cake. -- posted by the80srule

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:31:02 -0500

Moist, yummy cake that freezes well and warmed in the microwave is just as good as when it came out of the oven. In my oven, it takes 50 minutes. My family likes this as a mid-morning snack. Recipe adapted from Cooks.com website. Makes 24 (2 1/4 x 2 inch) servings. -- posted by Chef #1045743

Lemoniest Lemon Squares

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:08:24 -0500

These are the best lemon bars I've ever tried. They have a fabulously buttery crust, a not too sweet or too tart curd-like lemony filling, and a thin chewy top. The recipe is from San Francisco pastry chef Emily Luchetti's cookbook, "Classic Stars Desserts". With more than a cup of fresh lemon juice, the lemon flavour is really pronounced, the filling sets up real well and the dusted sugar makes for a beautiful presentation. NOTE: The squares can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. -- posted by blucoat

Deep South Crisco Cake

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:57:30 -0500

This is a delicious pound cake made without the addition of milk... My mom would ask me, when I was a kid, what kind of cake did I want for my birthday. My answer was always "Crisco Cake!" This is also the only cake requested for Christmas dinner this year! Do not scrape off the crust that forms on the top of the cake.. it is the best part!!!! -- posted by monagrays

Miniature Austrian Sachertorte

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:21:16 -0500

Sachertorte, one of Austria's most famous desserts, was created in the 1830s by baker Franz Sacher. Here is an updated version of the classic recipe, made into individual servings using a muffin tin. The moist, light cake is topped with a glistening chocolate icing and served with a dollop of warm Cointreau spiked apricot jam. A lovely special occasion dessert! Adapted from "The Opera Lover's Cookbook". -- posted by BecR

Best Chocolate Zucchini Cake (Freezes Well)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:08:25 -0500

Moist and fluffy chocolate cake with no hint of zucchini flavour. The zucchini just keeps it moist! Extremely quick to prepare, and always turns out well. Plus, there's so much zucchini in it, it's practically health food ... From my mom's friend Dina ... -- posted by MichelleAndErin

Mango Cake With Lemon Icing

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:34:53 -0500

What makes this cake so tastey is using pureed fresh mango. I don't advise using frozen or canned mango. This cake is incredibly moist! -- posted by breezermom

Orange Glaze

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:45:47 -0500

This is another excellent recipe from Diana Rattray. The glaze has a nice consistency due to the cornstarch included and its citrus taste is very good in any cake or cupcakes. Enjoy. -- posted by pinky kookie

A Mere Trifle! Strawberries and Clotted Cream Trifle

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

Luscious fresh strawberries nestle amongst light sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry jam, which are then covered with creamy custard and topped with clotted cream. Simple! This trifle may be simple but it is the star on any tea-time or dessert table and if you cannot obtain clotted cream, use whipping cream, heavy cream or double cream instead. Madeira is used in place of sherry in this trifle, which gives a mellow flavour to the trifle. This is a recipe that my mum sent to me, from a cutting in a British magazine promoting Devon and Cornwall in the West Country - home of the Cream Tea! If you wish to serve this to children or non-drinkers, substitute the Madeira with fruit juice of your choice. In the summer scatter some pink rose petals over the top for the ultimate and romantic finish! (Prep time includes the chilling and soaking time.) -- posted by French Tart

Pain DÉpices - Spiced French Gingerbread Loaf With Honey

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:36 -0500

A French classic and one that I will me making myself from now on, having just paid a small fortune for a tiny, if delicious loaf from my local boulangerie! This is a cross between sticky ginger parkin and a gingerbread cake or a tea loaf. It is not as moist as parkin or gingerbread, but it is extremely good when spread with butter or even better, when toasted.......divine! It is also surprisingly good when served with cheese. Another idea that I discovered in a local café, is to serve it warm with a dollop of crème fraiche and a little bunch of fresh berries on top, a perfect dessert for an elegant dinner party! This improves with keeping and makes a wonderful gift for a foodie friend or hostess wrap in cellophane and attach a ribbon with serving suggestions. If you cannot source Quatre Épices, I have a recipe on zaar to make it at home! Recipe #283280 -- posted by French Tart

Spice Cake That You Don't Tell Your Guests is Tomato Soup Cake

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:50:30 -0500

Based off Recipe #28776 with notable changes made. These would make AWESOME cupcakes. I think subbing soymilk would work but I had regular milk on hand so I just used that. I love using sunflower oil but I'm sure vegetable or canola oil would work in this. I like this with chocolate frosting. -- posted by the80srule

Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Cake

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:37:16 -0500

A favorite fall treat that graces our Holiday tables. A favorite of my husband but then all my deserts are! Frequently requested by my coworkers and KYX retreaters. Has much the taste of pumpkin pie but can serve so many more people. A very moist cake. -- posted by Goat mom
