Answer 1

Anything really, spray the pan and add fruit, mix in chocolate chips, add fruit to the batter. Maybe coconut. If you add fruit, add a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to control the acidity of the fruit.

Answer 2

I make this cake all the time. It is my husbands favorite and people rave about this cake; plus it is very versatile.

If you want to make a Trifle then the traditional ones use pound cake. This is the best recipe for pound cake I have ever tasted:

CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Cream 3 sticks of butter. Add 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese and 3 cups of sugar. Continue to cream mixture. Add 6 eggs, one at a time. Sift 2 teaspoons baking powder and 3 cups of flour and a pinch of salt. Add to creamed mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Flour and grease Bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 or 25 minutes.

You can add 1 1/2 cups pecans if you like. It is a big cake so it takes a huge tube (angel food) type pan or bundt cake pan.

Answer 3

Bake or buy an Angel Food Cake and cut in half crosswise. Mix a container of Dream Whip and a prepared package of lemon pie mix. Then put some in between your layers of cake and then all over. It's delicious and quite easy to make.

Answer 4

I have not tried this...

French Vanilla Cake

2 cups of sugar
4 bars of butter
12 egg yolks
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
12 egg whites in a separate bowl
4 tsp French vanilla flavoring (or to taste)


Cream sugar and butter; mix in the 12 egg yolks.

Divide those 2 cups of self rising flour in 3 portions. And have that cup of milk close. Add to that milk some vanilla flavor or your French vanilla. Here’s what you have to do. Add one third of the flour first to that mix of butter, sugar and eggs, mix then add half of the milk. Then add the other third of that flour mix, then add the rest of the milk and finally pour the rest of the flour. Mix well.

Beat the egg whites for about 5 to 8 minutes, till it looks like meringue. Then pour the batter mix and the meringue in a bigger bowl and mix them both together till you no longer see them apart, but don’t beat it too much. Now pour it on your pans and bake. (325 deg. For 25-30 mins in a 2- 9” parchment lined pans or in individual serving cake pans)

To flavor your cakes just, make a syrup of water plus sugar plus the French vanilla flavor and pour it over your cake till the cake feels moist, but don’t overdo it. Flip the cake after 45 minutes or so, and moist it on the other side.
