how do you make a cake?

Answer 1

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. milk
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 tsp. Jamaican allspice
1 egg yolk
2 c. cake flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. superfine sugar
2 egg yolks
3 T. water
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. dark rum
2 egg whites, whipped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 - 9 inch layer cake pans.
Whisk together chocolate, milk, allspice, brown sugar and one egg yolk in the top of a double boiler, stirring until a custard is formed and mixture thickens. Cool. Stir in baking soda and salt. Sift the flour onto waxed paper.

In bowl of electric mixer, whip the butter, gradually adding sugar and two egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a cup, stir together 3 T. water, 1/2 c. milk, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp. dark rum.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the vanilla/milk/water mixture. Stir in the chocolate custard mixture and beat until smooth, approximately two to three minutes at medium speed of mixer.

In a clean bowl, using the wire whisk attachment of your electric mixer, beat two egg whites until soft peaks form; gently fold into cake batter.

Turn into greased layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 25 minutes or until cake tester or toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Turn out onto wire racks to cool. Level with a serrated knife if required, then stack and frost with chocolate frosting.

Note: This recipe calls for superfine sugar, not to be confused with confectioners or 10X sugar. If you don't have superfine sugar you can pulse regular granulated sugar in the food processor to substitute. Domino supplies superfine sugar in 1 pound packages at the supermarket or in larger quantities at the bakery supply or foodservice outlet. Superfine sugar dissolves readily and works best for cakes, helping to produce a lighter texture.


SUNSHINE CAKE

6 eggs, separated
1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch of salt
1 cup cake flour
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, grated rind
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Sift flour before measuring. Combine and sift with sugar.

Beat egg yolks until light and thick. Slowly add half of the sugar, continuing to beat at medium speed of electric mixer. Stir in grated lemon rind and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, add a pinch of salt, and cream of tartar to egg whites; beat whites with a wire whip until stiff enough to stand in peaks, but not dry.

Into the egg yolk mixture, gently fold remaining sugar and then egg whites. Next, fold in the flour and salt, and then, the remaining egg whites.

Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan.

Bake for about 1 hour or until cake tests done.

Remove from oven and invert pan until cool. Using a dull knife, run it around the edge of the pan to separate cake from pan if required.


LEMON SPONGE CAKE

6 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Beat yolks of eggs until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in the sugar, grated lemon rind, and juice. Fold in half of the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Cut in sifted flour and salt, add nuts, and remaining egg whites.

Bake in a slow oven for about one hour or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out nearly clean.


FRESH APPLE CAKE

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups apples, pared, cored and quartered
1/4 cup Crisco
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon freshly grated)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup raisins
1 1/4 cups whole pecans

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
In the bowl of a food processor, process pecans very briefly by pulsing twice to leave nearly whole pieces. Add 1 cup peeled and cored apple pieces along with salt, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and ginger. Process briefly so that chunks remain. Add second cup of apples, processing one pulse only. This provides two different consistencies for the apples. Add raisins and melted butter. Pulse once.

Add flour and process only until combined; some lumps will remain.

Turn into a well greased and floured (or use Baker's Joy) 9x9x2 inch baking pan.

Variation: May add up to 1/2 cup coarsely chopped apples and nuts to top before baking. Keep the layer of apples and nuts light so it won't stop cake from rising.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Serve with whipped cream flavored with a little vanilla or rum and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
