Carrot Cake





2 cups granulated sugar


1 1/2 cups vegetable oil


4 fresh whole eggs


2 cups pastry flour


2 teaspoons baking soda


1 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


3 cups raw finely ground carrots


4 ounces finely chopped walnuts


Frosting Ingredients:


1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar


12 ounces room temperature cream cheese


1 tablespoon vanilla extract


2 ounces room temperature margarine








Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.


In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture and blend well. Fold in carrots and chopped nuts until well blended. Distribute batter evenly into 3 (9-inch) cake layer pans, which have been generously greased. There will be approximately 1 pound 5 ounces of batter per pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool layers in pans, for approximately 1 hour. Store layers in pans, inverted, in closed cupboard to prevent drying. Layers must be a minimum of 1 day old.





To remove layers from baking pan, turn upside down, tap edge of pan on a hard surface. Center a 9-inch cake circle on top of revolving cake stand. Remove paper from bottom of layer cake. Place first layer, bottom side down, at center of cake stand. With a spatula, evenly spread approximately 3 1/2 ounces of frosting on the layer. Center second layer on top of first layer with topside down. Again with a spatula, evenly spread approximately 3 1/2 ounces of frosting on the layer. Center third layer on top of second layer with topside down. Using both hands, press firmly but gently, all layers together to get one firm cake. With spatula, spread remainder of frosting to cover top and sides of cake. Refrigerated until needed. Display on counter or cake stand with a plastic cover.





Filling and Icings:


In a suitable bowl of large mixer, place powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and margarine. Beat at second speed until thoroughly blended. Hold refrigerated and use as needed.








Sky-high Layered Ice Cream Cake





3 pints chocolate ice cream or gelato, slightly softened


1/2 cup heavy cream


One 13-ounce jar Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread


2 pints strawberry ice cream or gelato, slightly softened


1 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts





Spoon the chocolate ice cream in small pieces into a 9-inch springform pan, lined with plastic wrap, filling in any large holes, then spread it evenly with a warm rubber spatula. Heat cream and stir in Nutella to thin out. Cool. Pour 1/2 of the Nutella over the chocolate ice cream and spread it evenly with a small offset spatula. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.


Spoon the strawberry ice cream over the Nutella in small pieces, filling in any large holes, then spread it evenly with a warm rubber spatula. Pour the remaining Nutella over the ice cream and spread it evenly with the offset spatula. Scatter the hazelnuts over the top of the cake, then press in. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or up to 2 weeks.





To serve, let the cake stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes or in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the inside of the pan, release the side of the pan, and remove it. Cut the cake into wedges.








Strawberry Country Cake





12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature


2 cups sugar


4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature


3/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature


1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest


1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest


1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


2 cups all-purpose flour


1/4 cup cornstarch


1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


For the filling for each cake:


1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy cream, chilled


3 tablespoons sugar


1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Butter the bottom of two 8-inch cake pans. Then line them with parchment paper and butter and flour the lined pans.





Cream the butter and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. On medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the sour cream, zests, and vanilla, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. On low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine just until smooth.





Pour the batter evenly into the pans, smooth the tops, and bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove to wire racks and let cool to room temperature. If using 1 cake, wrap the second well and freeze.





To make the filling for one cake, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until firm. Slice one of the cakes in half with a long, sharp knife. Place the bottom slice of the cake on a serving platter, spread with 1/2 the whipped cream and scatter with sliced strawberries. Cover with the top slice of the cake and spread with the remaining cream. Decorate with strawberries.Have you an Easy cake recipe Please?
