What does 3# mean on a cake recipe...?

SUGAR 3#


YOLKS 2#


VEGETABLE OIL 12 OZ.


EGG WHITES 2#


HAZELNUTS - toasted %26amp; finely ground 1#


CAKE FLOUR - sifted 2# 4 OZ.


BAKING POWDER 1 OZ.


WATER 6 OZ.What does 3# mean on a cake recipe...?
Recipes such as this one are specifically scaled up for institutionalized baking, specifically in huge amounts to make a great number of cakes (or whatever) in very large amounts. Professional chefs do not use cups or teaspoons when scaling up a recipe, but pounds and ounces of the dry and wet ingredients..........that way the consistency is a standard........Enjoy, and good question!!





ChristopherWhat does 3# mean on a cake recipe...?
that is the symbol for pound. must be big.
I hate to say it means pounds but with 12 oz. of vegetable oil its obviously meant to be a big recipe so it very well could mean pounds........the # that is.
# = pounds or number. ~
At first thought, I was going to tell you that 2# meant '2 lbs'... however, that would be a huge cake if that's what it means!





Then, I thought it might mean ';cups';... however, why would you need 2 cups of egg yolks???





Maybe it does mean lbs, and it's just a gigantic cake...
My first thought would be ';pounds';. This looks like a REALLY big cake recipe. Definitely will make more than one cake. You may need to cut down the recipe if it is one like from a bakery or something. It really looks like not a regular home recipe. Often times bakery recipes are listed in pounds because they make enough all at once to make more than one.





It looks kind of interesting though. Where did you get it? What is it's name?





Hope this helps and that you are able to use it. I once was able to obtain the recipe for a pie crust that I thought was really good at a place and...well, let's just say, it was enough to make 51 pie crusts, so it had to be cut down -- and it was all listed in pounds and ounces.





Good luck.

What is the best German Chocolate Cake recipe you've ever had?

And what specifically made it sooooo goodWhat is the best German Chocolate Cake recipe you've ever had?
I made this triple decker german chocolate cake for my friend's birthday once, it had fresh flowers all over it..so pretty. It was the best cake ever, super moist and yummy. I think it was so good because of the occasion, friends having a good time drinking beers together. Way better than the chocolate cake I eat while hiding in my closet.What is the best German Chocolate Cake recipe you've ever had?
German Chocolate Cake





INGREDIENTS





Cake





4 (1 ounce) squares German chocolate


1/2 cup hot water


2 cups white sugar


1 cup shortening


4 egg yolks


1 cup buttermilk


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1 pinch salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


4 egg whites





Coconut Pecan Frosting





1 egg yolk


1 1/4 cups white sugar


1 cup flaked coconut


3/4 cup chopped pecans


2 cups heavy whipping cream


1/4 cup butter











DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 4 - 9 inch round pans. Melt the chopped German chocolate in 1/2 cup hot water, and set aside.





In a large bowl, cream together the 2 cups sugar and shortening. Beat in 4 egg yolks until smooth. Next, stir in the buttermilk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; mix into creamed mixture. Then, stir in the melted chocolate. In another bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks, fold into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the four pans, and spread evenly.





Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cake in pans on wire racks. When cool, fill and ice with the coconut pecan icing.


To make the icing: In a medium bowl, whip 1 egg yolk, heavy cream and 1 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Cook in the top of a double boiler, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut, pecans and butter. Cool before icing the cake.
My sister makes KILLER German Chocolate Cake and she uses the Baker's German Chocolate Cake recipe on the label. I think the best is when the frosting is creamy - caramely and the coconut is soft. The cake has to be moist and tender. Since my sister lives in Texas, she uses the best pecans! I want to go visit her, so maybe I can convince her to make one then. This is THE best cake ever!
My mom has fixed this for years. When I make it I just use a boxed German chocolate cake mix - tastes better than from scratch, I think. This frosting recipe is so good I could just eat it by itself.





German Chocolate Cake Frosting





Mix:


1 c. sugar


3 egg yolks


1 c. evaporated milk


陆 c. butter


1 t. vanilla





Cook until slightly thickened and smooth.





Add:


1 1/3 c. coconut


1 c. pecans





Stir until thick enough to spread.



My Mom made it when I was a kid. She didn't use the coconut frosting, though. It was a white frosting and she dribbled melted German Chocolate around the edges of the cake. Slightly bitter, nicely sweet and I'd love to have it again.

Would like to know a good red or rose wine to take to friends this Easter and maybe even a nice cake recipe?

Was thinking of making my own chocolate based treats to take.Would like to know a good red or rose wine to take to friends this Easter and maybe even a nice cake recipe?
Hi Biff. Sorry not much of a cake baking person ( M%26amp;S is usually my friend in times of need) but I did spend the last year in australia working in a wine bar and tried and tested many wines. My favourirte was actually a French Burgundy, medium bodied, dry by Louis Jardot. There are many red wines by Louise Jardot but one that is very good for quality and budget is the Beaujolais Villages. Can be bought in Tesco for about 拢6. Its beautiful smooth, great balance. I have taken this bottle to various family / friend dinners and they have all commented how nice it is and become a great fan. You must try it and everyone will love it! Have a great easter!Would like to know a good red or rose wine to take to friends this Easter and maybe even a nice cake recipe?
rose: e%26amp;J white grenache: goes well with anything
well i canna help you with cake as my baking is notoriously bad (even the birds wont eat them)! but for wine try fetzer rose, its really lush, not sweet but full of fruit flavours - YUMMMMMMMMM


if you going for red maybs a nice mcwilliams cabernet sauvignon, to my mind as good as the wolfblass already mentioned but at a fraction of the price, its really smooth and should please most palates. how bout making hot cross buns?
I always like White Zinfandel or White Grenache wines by Julio Gallo. They're like drinking cranberry juice! yum.





The best cake to make is a Simnel cake which is the traditional fruit and marzipan cake for Easter. Nigella has a good one in her Feast book if you can borrow a copy.
my favourite supermarket red wine is kendermanns dornfelder under 拢5 a bottle at tesco, can't help u for recipes my cakes are a hit or miss so i always buy them for taking to friends just in case they taste awful
A good red is Wolf Blass Gold Label


A Rose (all tend to cheaper wines) Mateus Rose for a sparkly one and for a sweeter fruitier one try Stowells White Zinfandel - its on offer at Netto 拢10.99 for a 3l box
ramada red is yummy (portugese)拢3.89 co op


j.p chenet is also yummy(french) 拢3,99 sainsburys
why not take something that complements chocolate, rather than chocolate itself, which they'll probably have lots of already?





I have a great recipe for pear and almond cake which goes well - let me know if you want it, and I'll type it out and send it over
Beaujolais Nouveau for the wine








Chocolate truffles for the dessert:

Easter is a fine time for a great Sangaria... light and fruity





Easter spells Confetti cake with Creamy Frosting (Or 7 min frosting if you know how to make it) Topped of course with coconut (place in a bag and add a couple of drops of food coloring if you want to color it)





Just thinking if you also made divinity in the different colors to match the cake and placed the candy around the cake for that added EASTER *** look ***





SEW = Happy Easter...
fetzer syrah rose, a deep dark rose, thats perfect with choccy

    Flourless Chocolate Cake





    And this fabulous flourless recipe uses healthy honey rather than white sugar, so you can feel a little better about serving it. Believe me, it’s still pretty decadent, but well worth every sinfully delicious bite!


    Honey, by the way, is another food with an ages-old link to love (think of “honeymoons!”), so its presence in this wonderful dessert really works!





    INGREDIENTS





    3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into bits


    6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped


    6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped


    6 eggs, separated, at room temperature


    1/2 cup honey, divided


    1 tablespoon vanilla extract


    1/8 teaspoon salt





    1. Butter a 9- or 10-inch springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper or waxed paper. Butter the paper and flour the entire pan. Wrap the outside of the pan with foil.





    2. Preheat oven to 350F and set a rack in the center of the oven.





    3. Place the butter and chocolate in a bowl and set the bowl over, but not touching, a pot of hot water set on low heat. Do not allow water to boil. Stir occasionally and check to see when it is melted. Stir to blend and remove from the heat. Cool mixture to lukewarm. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the honey with an electric mixer in a large bowl for 3 minutes, until the mixture is very thick and pale. Fold in the lukewarm chocolate mixture and then fold in the vanilla and salt. In another large bowl, using clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup honey, beating until medium-firm peaks form. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.





    4. Bake the cake 50 minutes until the top is puffed (and possibly cracked) and a tester inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Be forewarned: the cake will fall quite a bit.





    5. Using a small knife, cut around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake and then remove the sides. Place a 9-inch tart pan bottom or cardboard round atop the cake. Invert the cake onto the tart pan bottom. Peel off the parchment paper. Invert the cake back on the serving platter.

    3. Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and beat until the peaks are stiff and glossy. Beat in the almond extract.





    4. Sprinkle half of the almond/sugar mixture over the egg whites and using a rubber spatula fold them in. Repeat with remaining almonds.





    5. Spray the cake pan with the cooking spray. Line with the paper round and spray it also.





    6. Sprinkle the pan evenly with the remaining 1/4 cups of sliced almonds. Gently spread the batter into the pan and tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.





    7. Bake 40 to 45 minutes. The cake should be golden and firm in the center.

    Could anyone please suggest a wheat-free & egg-free chocolate cake recipe?

    Wheat free and Vegan chocolate cake


    I’ve got to admit, having a good chocolate cake recipe is very important for someone who loves to bake. I’ve tried this recipe as both a cake and cupcakes; it will make about 12 cupcakes and one small cake. In addition to eating it all myself, I’ve given cupcakes to non-Vegans/allergy people and they said it was good.





    Ingredients:


    1.5 cups of spelt flour


    1 cup sugar


    1/4 cup cocoa powder


    1 teaspoon baking soda


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1/3 cup canola oil


    1 teaspoon vanilla


    1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar


    3/4 cup water





    Sift together all the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones. Pour into greased pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes. (If you are making cupcakes, I’d suggest setting the timer for about 12 minutes or so but keep an eye on it because I didn’t time it when I made mine.)





    The verdict: Again, yummy. I think, personally, that this cake is better with a chocolate “buttercream” frosting than with a white one. Sugar sprinkles also add a little extra crunch that went nicely with the texture





    Wheat free and dairy free chocolate cake


    For the cake


    300g sugar


    300g dairy free margarine


    300g gluten free rice flour


    8 tbsp cocoa powder


    1 egg


    1 level tsp baking soda


    100ml soya milk


    100g cheap 70% dark chocolate (it tends to be lighter than expensive chocolate)


    Raspberry jam, for the filling





    For the butter icing


    100g icing sugar


    50g diary free margarine


    2 tsp cocoa powder





    For the fruit coulis


    150g frozen raspberries


    50g golden caster sugar


    75ml orange juice


    1tbsp corn flour





    To serve


    Accompany with fruits, such as a handful of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries





    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.


    2. Grease two 18cm diameter sandwich cake tins.


    3. Stir the sugar and margarine together in a bowl thoroughly.


    4. Add the rice flour, cocoa powder, egg and baking soda. Then slowly mix in the soya milk until the consistency of the mixture is slightly runnier than a normal cake.


    5. Halve the mixture and pour each half into the prepared cake tins. Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes.


    6. Remove the cake from the oven when cooked and leave to cool in the tins on a cooling rack (approx. 20 minutes).


    7. Make up the butter cream by sifting icing sugar into a bowl and combining with 50g of margarine and 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder.


    8. Once cool, remove the sponges from their tins.


    9. Spread the jam onto one sponge and the butter cream onto the other then join together carefully, as they can split.


    10. Melt the dark chocolate on the stove over a pan of hot water and dribble over the cake carefully. Spread the chocolate over the top of the cake and allow to set (5 – 10 mins).


    11. For the coulis, puree the frozen raspberries and push the pulp through a sieve to remove the lumps.


    12. Add the sugar and place over a very low heat for 5 – 10 minutes.


    13. Then add the orange juice until you have the required consistency and allow the coulis to cool (at least 15 mins).





    Plating up





    Take 1 slice of cake with the coulis poured over the top and around the plate. Add fresh fruit to the side.

    First of all, don't feel guilty eating anything in front of her. Do you think she feels guilty eating in front of you? Ridiculous.





    Secondly, why should her BF's cake have to be wheat and egg free? Her BF is not allergic, SHE IS. Her BF shouldn't be punished w/ harsh dietary restrictions like that.





    Finally, there are flourless choc cakes and eggless choc cakes. But a flourless one usually relies on eggs to hold it together. An eggless one relies on flour.





    Get your friend a big Hershey's chocolate bar for her birthday ';cake.'; Everyone can enjoy it and she won't suffer for it.
    Assuming if she is allergic to wheat, she'll be allergic to flour also, there's isn't a ';cake'; recipe, really. If she is not allergic to flour, try this one. I made it and my people loved it :


    1+ 1/2 cup allpurpose flour,


    2 tablespoon baking powder,


    1/2 cup powdered sugar,


    3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.


    1 teaspoon vanilla,


    1 teaspoon white vinegar.


    5 tablespoon vegetable oil,


    1 cup cold water / 1 cup cold milk.


    Sift together the dry ingredients, then, make 3 holes in them and pour vanilla, vinegar, and oil in the separate holes. Mix. Then pour the water/milk, .mix until smooth. Pour the batter in a greased and lined pan, bake at 350 F preheated oven for app 25-30 min or until top springs back when lightly pressed. Decorate with your favourite frosting.


    (it wouldn't rise as much as a cake with egg in it, but it won't be flat either).

    What are good websites to get recipes for cakes and sweets?

    I absolutely love http://joyofbaking.com. They have beautiful pictures of their recipes plus very detailed instructions. Sometime more information than you need to know but you do learn things. I know that whenever I pick something from their site, it is going to be heavenly. I have never been disappointed. Just something to note, if they tell you that you must use a special ingredient as in type of chocolate, just use what you normally would. They tend to get a little fancy and I don't believe it would change the taste at all. You'll love it.What are good websites to get recipes for cakes and sweets?

    Whats the costco birthday cake icing recipe?

    Does anyone know how to make the icing from the costco birthday cakes they make? I absolutely love it xWhats the costco birthday cake icing recipe?
    i don't know, but here are some good ones:





    Quick and Easy Powdered Sugar Icing





    2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)


    1/2 teaspoon vanilla


    2 tablespoons milk








    Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours.








    To make chocolate icing, add two tablespoons cocoa powder when you mix the powdered sugar and follow the rest of the recipe above.





    Thick Vanilla Frosting








    1 cup shortening


    2 teaspoons vanilla

    Beat together shortening and vanilla for 30 seconds medium speed with an electric mixer. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time while beating. Then add 2 tablespoons milk. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the milk until you get the right thickness for your frosting.

    their signature chocolate banana cake..Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe?
    Chocolate-Banana Cake Roll





    INGREDIENTS


    5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder


    1/2 cup all-purpose flour


    1 tablespoon baking powder


    5 egg yolks


    3/4 cup white sugar, divided


    5 egg whites


    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    1 cup sweetened whipped cream


    2 bananas, peeled


    2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting


    2 cups prepared chocolate frosting





    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Sift together the cocoa, flour and baking powder; set aside.


    In a medium bowl, whip the egg yolks and half of the sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Set aside. In a separate larger bowl, combine the egg whites and vanilla. Whip with clean beaters until foamy. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining sugar while continuing to whip until stiff but not blocky. Fold the yolks into the whites by hand, then fold in the dry ingredients. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.


    Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed. Try not to let it bake too long or it will be difficult to roll. When the cake is done, run a knife around the edge to loosen and turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on both sides and allow to cool.


    Spread whipped cream on one side and place the bananas along the length. Roll the cake up around the bananas. Place on a serving platter with the seam side down. Frost with chocolate frosting.Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe?

    1 1/2 cups Bette Hagman flour mixture [1]


    1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum [2]


    1 cup sugar


    3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa


    1 tsp baking soda


    1/2 tsp salt


    1 tsp vanilla


    1 Tbsp vinegar


    6 Tbsp oil


    1 cup cold water





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





    In a large mixing bowl, sift and mix GF flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt.





    In a jug, mix vanilla, vinegar and oil. Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients and stir until batter is lump-free. The batter will be thin. Pour into an 8-inch square pan.





    Bake at 350 degres F 25-35 minutes or until it springs back when touched lightly. Remove and stand 5 minutes before removing from pan to cool on rack.





    Notes:


    1. there are a range of Gluten-free flour mixtures to choose from: or you can make up a mixure yourself using the myriad of ';Homemade GF baking mix'; recipes available





    2. xanthan gum is available to health food store, natural food suppliers etc - necessary for the cakes structure





    3. a smaller cake is better than a larger cake since structurally this is a bit more fragile as it does not have gluten or egg - a pan no larger than 8';. Cupcakes are an excellent size.





    4. don't overbake and handle carefully when hot/warm.





    5. do not make comparisons between ';real'; cake and a dietary cake - this is going to be your daughter's ';real'; cake.





    6. Variations:


    - use coffee instead of water [boosts chocolate flavour without being noticeable]

    1 cup cold water (or ice coffee)

Add the vinegar quickly and stir in 鈥?immediately put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 min. Cool thoroughly.

    This is a WW2 Recipe that my great grandma passed down to me- there are no eggs %26amp; this recipe is SO good!





    WACKY CAKE


    1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


    1 cup sugar


    3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa


    1 teaspoon baking soda


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1 teaspoon vanilla


    1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar


    5 tablespoons vegetable oil


    1 cup cold water








    In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt. Make three wells in the flour mixture. In one put vanilla; in another the vinegar, and in the third the oil. Pour the cold water over the mixture and stir until moistened. Pour into 8 x 8-inch pan (be SURE you line it with waxed paper first or you will never get this out in one piece). Bake at 350掳F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it springs back when touched lightly.





    You really dont even need frosting for this, but what i do is mix some powdered sugar with a tiny pit of cocoa powder- add drops of water until it becomes runny then pour this all over the cake. It gives it just enough of a kick, plus when you heat a piece up in the microwave that topping makes the cake super moist, almost like a brownie.Chocolate cake recipe please?

    I have made this chocolate mousse cake many times. The chocolate mousse mixture is divided in half....you bake 1/2 for the cake and the other half is the mousse filling.





    It's delicious. You top with whipping cream and sprinkle with chocolate curls. I use a thick Hersheys Bar to make the curls with a potato peeler. This works easier if the Hersheys Bar is at room tempeature.

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

    6. Gradually stir in 1/4 cup of sugar into the egg white mixture. Fold into the chocolate mixture.


    7. Pour 3/4 of the cake batter into a 9 x 3 inch spring foam pan.


    8. Store the remaining cake batter in the refrigerator until needed later.


    9. Bake cake for 35 minutes and let it cool. The middle of the cake will drop. This is normal.


    10. Remove the outside ring of the springfoam pan. Slide cake onto a serving plate.


    11. Spoon the refrigerated cake batter on top of the cake. Refrigerate for an hour; prepare the frosting during this time.














    Ingredients for Frosting:


    1 cup heavy whipping cream


    1/3 cup powdered sugar


    1 teaspoon vanilla





    1 small bar milk chocolate


    raspberries for garnish (if desired)

    2. Gradually stir in powdered sugar and vanilla.


    3. Beat until stiff peaks form.

    Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries


    INGREDIENTS





    * 1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine*


    * 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks


    * 5 large eggs


    * 1/2 cup sugar


    * Pinch of salt


    * 4 teaspoons flour (or matzo meal, ground in a blender to a fine powder)


    * 8 extra-large paper muffin cups (or use regular paper muffin cups, which will make 12 cakes)


    *


    * Garnish:


    * 1 (6 ounce) container raspberries, barely moistened and rolled in about


    * 1/2 cup sugar right before serving





    DIRECTIONS





    1. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.)


    2. Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8 extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups.


    3. Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer cakes to dessert plates.


    4. Top each with sugared raspberries and serve immediately.

    Red Velvet Cupcakes:





    For the cupcakes:


    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 1/2 cups sugar


    1 teaspoon baking soda


    1 teaspoon salt


    1 teaspoon cocoa powder


    1 1/2 cups vegetable oil


    1 cup buttermilk, room temperature


    2 large eggs, room temperature


    2 tablespoons red food coloring


    1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar


    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    For the Cream Cheese Frosting:


    1 pound cream cheese, softened


    2 sticks butter, softened


    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar


    Chopped pecans and fresh raspberries or strawberries, for garnish








    For the cupcakes:


    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with cupcake papers.


    In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a large bowl gently beat together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet and mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.





    Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake in oven for about 20 to 22 minutes, turning the pans once, half way through. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.





    For the Cream Cheese Frosting:


    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.





    Garnish with chopped pecans and a fresh raspberry or strawberry.
    I used the yellow cake mix.
    I thought I made amazing cupcakes. Then I caught Nigella Lawson making them on Foodnetwork. They looked A-May-Zing, so I tried them. They are the best cupcakes I have ever made. Astoundingly good, and gorgeous looking.

    The best 'frosting' I ever found for an ice cream cake - Cool Whip. It's so simple, can't really decorate it with much because it's so light, but everyone loves whipped topping on ice cream sundaes, so why not?

    What is a really YUMMY chocolate cake recipe?

    Deep Chocolate Cake


    Prep: 40 min.


    Bake: 20 min.





    Ingredients


    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder


    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon baking powder


    1/2 teaspoon baking soda


    2/3 cup butter, softened


    1-3/4 cups sugar


    3 eggs


    4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled


    2 teaspoons vanilla


    1-1/2 cups milk


    12 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces (2 cups)


    1/2 cup butter


    8 ounces dairy sour cream


    4-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar (about 1 pound)


    Chocolate curls (optional)


    Chocolate-Sour Cream Frosting *


    Fresh raspberries (optional)**


    Fresh mint sprigs (optional)





    Directions


    1. Grease three 9-inch round baking pans, three 8X8X2-inch square baking pans; lightly dust each pan with 1 teaspoon of the cocoa powder. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.





    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar; beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating for 30 seconds after each addition.





    3. Beat in chocolate and vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to chocolate mixture, beating on low speed until well mixed. (Batter will be thick.)





    4. Divide batter among prepared pans; spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.





    5. Make chocolate curls, if using. Arrange curls in an even layer on a waxed paper-lined tray and set aside in a cool, dry place. To assemble cake, spread Chocolate-Sour Cream Frosting on tops of two of the layers; stack. Add top layer; frost the top and sides of the cake. If desired, while frosting is still moist, use a 4- to 6-inch wooden skewer or tweezers to lightly press chocolate curls into frosting around the bottom two-thirds of the cake. If desired, garnish top with raspberries and mint. Store, covered, in the refrigerator. Makes 12 to 16 servings.





    6. *In a large saucepan melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. This frosts tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch cake layers.





    7. **Chocolate-Mint Sour Cream Frosting: Prepare as above except stir in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract with the sour cream. Makes about 4-1/2 cups.What is a really YUMMY chocolate cake recipe?

    Okay, these are cupcakes, but oh so good. I suppose you can make it into a cake. You make a normal chocolate cake mix, pour the cake into the cupcake holes, then on the side you mix cream cheese and powdered sugar, you put the cream cheese in the middle of the cupcake (before baking), then you put a minature orea in the middle, then cover the cupcake with the rest of the batter... oh my god, they are so good!

    --Lemon Cake Recipes








    Ingredients:


    **CAKE**


    3 cups all-purpose flour -- sifted


    1 tablespoon baking powder


    1 teaspoon baking soda


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1 cup unsalted butter --at room temp


    2 cups granulated sugar


    4 large eggs -- slightly beaten


    1 1/4 cup buttermilk


    1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


    2 lemons, Zest only


    **LEMON CURD**


    12 large egg yolks


    2 lemons, Zest only


    1 cup fresh lemon juice


    1 1/2 cup sugar


    1 cup cold unsalted butter -- cut in pieces


    **SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM**


    2/3 cup heavy cream


    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


    2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar


    **GARNISH**


    12 ounces assorted fresh berries


    confectioner's sugar





    Heat oven to 350 deg. Arrange two racks in the center of oven. Line the bottoms of two 8 x 2 inch buttered cake pans with parchment paper. Dust the bottoms and sides of pan with flour, and tap out any excess.





    Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Cream butter on medium until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, and beat on medium until lightened, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.





    Gradually add eggs, beating after each addition until batter is no longer slick, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the sifted flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, a little of each at a time, at low speed, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat in the vanilla and the lemon zest.





    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake 25 minutes, and rotate the pans in the oven if needed for even browning. Continue baking until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 10 to 20 minutes more. Transfer pans to wire racks to cool. Let cool 15 minutes. Remove cakes from pans. Leave the cakes on a wire rack, tops up, to cool completely, about 1 hour.





    To assemble, remove the parchment paper from the bottom of each cake. Slice each layer in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Reserve the prettiest dome top to use for the top of the cake. Place the other top, dome-side down, on the serving platter to make the first layer. Spread with one cup of the lemon curd to within a half inch from the edge. Place the second layer over the first, and spread with curd, covering with third layer, and spreading with another cup of lemon curd.





    One hour before serving, transfer the platter with cake to refrigerator to firm up lemon curd (if the kitchen is warm and the curd gets runny, refrigerate the layers as they are completed). Just before serving, place the reserved domed layer on top of cake. Spoon on the sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle with mixed berries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar through a fine sieve.
