or
Gooey Butter Cake

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
1/2 cup warm milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Prepare a sweet dough by creaming 1/4 cup sugar with the shortening and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1 egg and beat with electric mixer one minute until well blended. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, the yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Mix three minutes with dough hook or with hands. Turn dough out on floured board and knead for one minute. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel and set in a warm place to rise for one hour.
While dough is rising, prepare the Gooey Butter Topping: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup butter and a pinch of salt. Add 1 egg and the corn syrup. Mix enough to incorporate. Add 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix together well and set aside.
Divide dough into two pieces. Place each into a greased 9 inch round cake pan. Crimp edges halfway up sides of pans to keep the gooey butter topping from running out underneath. After dough is spread out, punch holes in dough with fork to keep it from bubbling when baking.
Divide Gooey Butter Topping into two equal parts. Spread over dough in each pan. Let cake stand for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake cakes in preheated oven 30 minutes. Do not overbake; the topping should stay gooey. After cakes are cool, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Answer 2

I have a GREAT frosting recipe. EVERYONE raves about it. Here it is:

Enough to frost one 13x9 cake generously:

1-1/2 C Crisco or other shortening
1-1/2 C Butter, softened
3 tsp. vanilla
1 Bag powdered Sugar
6T Milk

Cream Crisco and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla and mix it in. Gradually mix in sugar, scraping sides as you go. It will appear dry. Add the milk and mix it in until light and fluffy.

This is delicious, awesome frosting. And when you use those Wilton cake paste colors, it looks outstanding. Good luck!

Answer 3

purchase a can of Hershy's cocoa powder and on the label it gives a cake recipe and a frosting recipe...it is a from scratch recipe and I made it one day for my kids and this cake was the best we ever had, the frosting tastes like milk chocolate and is not as sweet, gritty and nasty as ready made frosting, its really smooth.....anyway it is a no fail recipe cake and icing. I hate cake icing and I loved this one......ps the icing calls for real butter and milk which is a buttercream.

A good buttercream frosting should have the best quality butter and cream for the best results.
This buttercream frosting is not too sweet. Pay close attention the techniques involved.
You will be much happier with the results if you follow this recipe to the letter.

Black Cocoa Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2/3 cup black cocoa

Method
In a large bowl, Whip the butter on high speed, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Whip until double in volume. This takes a very long time, approximately 10 minutes.

While still whipping, drizzle in the heavy cream. Continue whipping until the mixture is stiff, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.

In a medium bowl, carefully combine, with a whisk, the confectioners’ sugar, the black cocoa, and the dutch process cocoa. Add 1/2 of the confectioners’ sugar mixture to the butter and cream mixture and whip until smooth. At this point, you can taste the frosting and determine if you would like to add more of the sugar mixture to sweeten to taste, but the focus should be on the dark dark black cocoa.
