This is the cake folder on this web website. Check out the files that contain

tried and true recipes that the member here submit and are filed into different

catagories here.

 

Also another good place I enjoy recipes from is www.alrecipes.com Just type in

cake on the search bar or a particular type of cake and you find tons.

Folks, like you and me, that try them, give them 1-5 stars and reviews. It is a

very helpful resource too.

Enjoy,

Judy

What kind of cake do you want to make? There must be 10,000 different

recipes, but only two types of cakes: sponge and shortened (aka butter).

 

 

 

Here are basic recipes for each:

 

 

 

 

SPONGE CAKE

 

 

 

 

4 eggs

2 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 c. butter

1 c. boiling milk

2 c. all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

 

Beat eggs until very light. Beat in sugar, salt, and vanilla. Beat in butter

and boiling milk. Sift together flour and baking powder and beat in very

quickly. Immediately pour into prepared pan. (Makes two 9 inch layers or 13

x 9 inch oblong.) Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cake tests

done.

 

 

 

Basic Butter Cake:

 

Follow this basic butter cake recipe and try a few variations such as

the grated rind of an orange or lemon, sultanas or other dried fruit,

chopped nuts and spices.

 

Ingredients:

4 oz butter or margarine

3/4 cup (4 1/2 oz) castor sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 eggs

2 cups (8 oz) self raising flour

pinch salt

1/2 cup milk

 

Method:

Brush two 8 inch sandwich tins with melted butter. Set oven temperature to

moderate (350 degrees F/180 degrees C)

 

Cream shortening (butter or margarine) and sugar with vanilla until mixture

is white, light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the lightly beaten eggs. If

using an electric mixer add eggs one at a time and beat well after each.

 

Sift flour and salt three times and then fold into creamed mixture

alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. When mixture is

smooth pour into prepared tins. (Beating at this stage will cause tunnels

through the cake).

 

Lightly smooth top and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a fine skewer will

come out clean. Cool on wire racks. Fill and ice as liked.

 

Note: If making the cake in a deep 8 inch round or square tin you will need

to bake it for 45-50 minutes.

 

Variations on the Basic Butter Cake

 

Lemon Cake:

Add the grated rind of 1 lemon and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Omit vanilla.

 

Sultana Cake:

Add 4-6 oz sultanas and 1 teaspoon allspice.

 

Seed Cake:

Add 1 tablespoon caraway seeds to mixture and sprinkle extra teaspoon of

seeds on top before baking.

 

Spice Cake:

Sift 1 teaspoon allspice with the flour. Add 4 oz chopped dates or walnuts

to the mixture.

 

Chocolate Cake:

Add 2 oz unsweetened cocoa powder dissolved in a little milk.

 

Lamingtons:

 

The Cake:

Make basic butter cake mixture following instructions above and spread into

a greased 11x7 inch lamington tin and bake for 30-35 minutes in a moderate

oven (350 degrees F/160 degrees C) until cooked. Cool on a wire rack then

cut into small rectangles (size should be 1/2 single serving).

 

Dip each in thin chocolate icing and immediately roll in desiccated coconut.

Leave on rack to set.

 

Cook lamington mixture the day before required. The cakes will then not

crumble when iced.

 

Thin Chocolate Icing:

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. icing sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons boiling water

1/2 teaspoon butter

Few drops of vanilla

Desiccated coconut for rolling cakes in after icing

 

Method:

Sift sugar and cocoa powder into a basin. Add 4 tblsp boiling water, 1/2

teaspoon butter and a few drops of vanilla and stir until smooth and shiny.

If icing sets stand bowl in hot water until icing thins down.

 

 

 

Hope these help,

 

 

 

Pat
