Chocolate Zucchini Cake

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks, or 3/4 cup) butter
2 cups sugar [note: I usually reduce this to about 1 1/2 cups]
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 cups grated raw zucchini
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped walnuts [I omit these, being allergic to most nuts, and
it still tastes great]

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour two 9 inch round pans or a 10 inch
tube (or bundt) pan.

Cream the butter and slowly add the sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in the
eggs and mix thoroughly. Add vanilla, orange zest and zucchini and blend well.
The batter make look curdled at this point, but it will become smooth later.

Sift together the remaining dry ingredients and add to the zucchini mixture
along with the milk. Beat thoroughly, then stir in the walnuts.

Pour into pan(s) and bake layer cakes for 35-40 minutes, the tube cake for
an hour, or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove
from oven, let cool, and either sprinkle with confectioners sugar (that is
all we do, since it is very moist as it) or frost with Coffee Frosting (I
haven't tried this, but the recipe is as follows, from the same cookbook).


Coffee Frosting

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch of salt
2 egg whites
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon powdered instant coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine the first five ingredients in the top of a double boiler. Set over
simmering water on low heat. Beat for 5-7 minutes, or til frosting stands
in peaks. Remove from hot water, add the instant coffee, and continue beating
until it forms soft, billowy peaks. Beat in the vanilla. There will be enough
to frost an 8 or 9 inch two layer cake or a 9-10 inch tube cake.

This is one of my absolute favorite cakes in the entire world. My neighbors do it for every birthday party, and once I tried it, I was hooked.
I recommend decorating the top with fruit (pie fillings work just fine) along with the 'frosting'.

Tres Leches (three milks)

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
9 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
9 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup white sugar
DIRECTIONS
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
*In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well after each addition. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter using a rubber spatula. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
*Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
*In a small bowl, stir together the 2 cups heavy cream, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. Pour the mixture over the cake until it wont absorb any more. You may have 1/3 to 1/4 left over. That's okay.
*Combine the whipped cream and sugar, spread over soaked cake. Refrigerate cake until serving, Pour leftover milk mixture onto plates and swirl in jam if desired, before setting cake on the plates.

Lemon Cake

Cake:
1 C. butter (no substitutes), at room temperature
2 C. granulated sugar
3 C. sifted cake flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
3/4 C. milk, at room temperature
Whites from 6 eggs

Lemon Curd:
Yolks from 6 eggs
1 C. granulated sugar
1/2 C. butter (no substitutes)
Peel (yellow part only) and juice of 2 lemons

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three 9-inch pans with parchment paper or wax paper; grease and flour bottom and sides, tapping out excess flour.

To make the cake:
In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Sift together cake flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour.

In a large bowl, beat 6 egg whites until stiff. Fold about one-third into butter/flour mixture to break it down a bit. Gently fold in rest of beaten egg whites just until whites disappear.

Divide evenly and gently among the 3 pans.

Bake 23 to 30 minutes, just until the cake begins to pull away from the sides. Cool 10 minutes in pans. Turn out on wire cake racks.

To make the Lemon Curd:
In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, mix the egg yolks, sugar, butter and lemon peel and juice. Stir constantly until thick, about 15 minutes.

While curd is still warm (so it doesn't get too thick), spread between the bottom and middle cake layers, then between middle and upper layer. The cake may be slightly warm. Pour remaining over top so it drizzles part way down sides of cake.
