Answer 1

Champagne Cake Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee
Cooking spray
1 box (1-pound 2 1/4-ounce) moist white cake mix
1 1/4 cups extra dry Champagne
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large egg whites
1 can whipped white frosting
1/4 teaspoon Champagne flavoring
Silver mini disco balls, optional
Silver Dragees, optional, if available in your area
Silver edible glitter, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9 by-13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, Champagne, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove it from the oven and cool completely.
Empty the frosting into a small bowl and add the Champagne flavoring. Stir to combine and set aside.
To make the mini-cakes, with a 3-inch ring mold (or use an 8-ounce pineapple can with top and bottom removed) stamp out 6 cakes. Slice the cakes in half, horizontally, to make layers. Frost the bottom layer, replace the top layer and frost the tops and sides of cake. Decorate with the disco balls, Dragees, and glitter, if using.
Cook's notes: Champagne flavoring and edible glitter are available where cake and candy making supplies are sold. Dragees, or silver candy balls, are not available in all states.

Answer 3

Very easy peasy cake recipe:
2 eggs (weight these, still in shell, and weigh the below ingredients to the same weight)
Self Raising flour
Caster Sugar
Butter / margerine

Chuck everything in to a bowl and mix it all together (you can use flavourings if you want e.g. coffe, vanilla etc.). Put the mixture into a buttered cake tin or cup cake cases and bake on gas mark 5 for about 18 minutes (to check if cooked skewer the middle and if it comes out clean the cake is done).

This recipe was taught to me when i was about 8 by my nan and it works every time.

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1 1/12oz. unsweetened chocolate melted and slightly cooled
1 Tbsp. milk

Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Sift all dry ingredients. Add alternately with 1 cup plus 2Tbsp. milk to creamed mix. Pour half the batter into another bowl. Add Lemon Extract to one half. Mix together chocolate and 1 Tbsp. milk; blend into other half of batter. Pour into greased and floured 9" pan. Bake at 375 for 25 min. or until done.
***She used a round cake pan***

White and Pink Layers
5 egg whites
2/3 cups shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. peppermint extract
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour

Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg whites and blend them into the shortening and sugar. Sift the dry ingredients and add to the wet mixture. Divide into 2 bowls. In one bowl add the vanilla and in the other add the peppermint (you could also add a drop or two of red food coloring). Stir. Pour both batters into seperate round, 9 inch pans and bake for 25 min. or until done.

Boiled Frosting
***DO NOT MAKE THIS ON HUMID,HOT DAYS
***If the day is really warm put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few hours first.

1 cup granulated sugar
1/8 tsp. cream of tarter
1/3 cup water
1 egg white, beaten, until stiff with a pinch of baking powder

Combine the first 3 ingredients. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, bring to a boiling point. Add 3 Tbsp. of syrup to beaten egg white. Beat after each Tbsp. is added. Boil remaining syrup until it spins a thread. Pouring gradually, add the egg white and boiling mixture until thick.
If you wish to add a little color to this frosting, you can.

Before stacking each layer be sure to frost the top of each layer, this frosting will help make sure it doesn't slide around too much. It also helps to use those cake skewers. Frost entire cake and enjoy! YUMMY!!
