A Cake Bakes in Brooklyn.

Production notes: I followed the recipe exactly, except I substituted butter for the Crisco.  The Amish, rather thrifty folk, probably wanted to save some money.  I wasn't sure if the cake should be warm, or just the frosting, so I made sure both were warm when I frosted it.  You'd be fine with a cool cake and warm frosting. If you don't have buttermilk, you can your own by mixing some white vinegar in regular milk and having it stand for a few minutes.  The amount of salt in the frosting should be a pinch -- it won't taste salty, but will add a depth of flavor.  Chop the on the finer side.

I love to bake, especially from the treasured recipes of home cooks, the kind of recipes typed or hand-written on index cards, or carefully pasted in sbooks. I have a large collection of these, gathered over the years from flea markets, stoop sales and estate sales. These "lost" recipes, with their stains and annotations like "good, from mother's book," provide a window into the past, and one that I'm trying to pry open, one stick of butter at a time! I'm also investigating Mrs. Grace Osborn of Bay City, Michigan, who published (or probably self-published) a cake book in 1919, instructing women on her (wacky) cake baking methods and encouraging them to bake for recognition and profit, that being one of the few acceptable ways for women to earn money back then. More on her in upcoming posts!

Malted chocolate drip cake.

Break the honeycomb into tall shards and stack them on top of the cake. Finish with whole and halved Maltesers, adding a few around the base, along with some honeycomb crumbs. The cake is best served within 2-3 hrs of embling, but will still taste delicious for up to 3 days. Store leftovers in the fridge and allow to come back to room temperature before serving. First remove the honeycomb pieces from the top.  To serve up to 25 people, slice the cake into 12-13 slices (any more and the pieces will be too thin and collapse) cut each piece horizontally across the middle and serve with the honeycomb. the honeycomb. Grease a baking tray with a little butter or oil. Put the sugar and golden syrup in a large pan. Warm over a medium heat and leave to bubble to a liquid caramel, but don’t stir. When you’re happy with the colour (the darker it gets, the more intense the flavour will be), add the bicarbonate of soda and quickly stir into the syrup. Before the bubbles down, pour the foaming mixture onto the baking tray, then set aside for 30 mins to cool and firm up. First the malt sponges. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the bases of 2 x 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well between each addition. Tip the flour, malt and baking powder into the bowl with 1/4 tsp salt and fold together, then add the yogurt and vanilla, and give everything a final stir. Divide the cake mixture between the 2 tins, level the tops and bake on the middle shelf for 25-30 mins or until a skewer pushed into the centre of the cakes comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins, then remove from the tins, peel off the baking parchment and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Wash the tins. You’re now ready to emble. Put one of the sponges on a cake stand or cake board, sticking it down with a small blob of icing.

Hey Jenn, I Just came back from Turks and Caicos which had a rum cake in a tin at the airport. I could not imagine it being any good m produced like that. I am a pretty good cook and bake quite a bit. I always like making a recipe from scratch using the best ingrents. Living 30 min from New York City I am lucky to be able to find almost any ingrent needed. I looked over many Rum Cake recipes and found yours to be the best “from scratch” recipe I was looking for. Others instant pudding or boxed cake mix. I had picked up the wrong flour, ( Presto) which is self-rising so my first bake was a little off but still tasted amazing. The next day I made another cake with the Softasilk and it was perfect. I Ron Zacapa dark rum in place of the Meyers but every thing else was exactly the same. I don’t think that rum cake in a tin could even come close to the amazing flavor of this cake. Thanks for creating a “from scratch” Rum Cake that totally rocks! Thank you so much for this recipe. In the photo, your glaze has a nice shine to it. Mine got totally absorbed and left no shine. Do you know why? Maybe the cake should cool longer or maybe I should boil the glaze longer or maybe the rum waters it out too much??? Made this with my Grandmom after my mom got Rum as a gift. It was DELICIOUS! So moist. We accidentally added the rum to the drizzle at the beginning instead of the end so the rum taste wasn’t as strong but it was still really yummy! I googled rum cake recipes (from scratch) and was expecting to find a lot. Most of the recipes are from cake mix and vanilla pudding mix. I was so happy to find this recipe with great reviews. I decided to a trial run for our family of 4. I only made half the batch in a 9×5 loaf pan, Bacardi Gold Rum (that’s all I have), and I baked for 50 min. Every step of the way ed out exactly as it should be. I silicone basting brush to glaze the cake 6-7 times and still have a bit of glaze leftover.

Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cake recipe.

I just made this for my moms bday. It ed out amazing! I want to a cheesecake for my dad using this recipe. I want to double it to tall New York style. What alterations should I on bake time? Today’s recipe for Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cake had to be just right. I’ve got a reputation on the line here, haha, and I want you ALL to this as your Easter dessert! It’s a s stopper of a cake, but so worth it. The layers of carrot cake would be delicious enough on their own. But I snuck in a thick, gorgeous cheesecake in the center. I’ve covered this in a mive amount of cream cheese frosting. You’re welcome! In the past few years, it seems carrot cake is always on the menu. From a traditional clic carrot cake …to this carrot bundt cake, or these carrot cake cupcakes, you just can’t go wrong. But with my obsession of all things carrot cake, I had to go and out do myself. I have no idea what I can possibly do next year to improve the carrot cake, but for now, let’s talk about today’s Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cake ! When baking the cheesecake, sure you follow the directions for the water bath. While it doesn’t matter so much about cracks on the top (because you wouldn’t see them anyway), the added moisture from the water bath helps to keep this cheesecake super soft and delicious! You can the cheesecake layer further in advance by wrapping tightly and storing in the zer until ready to use. I’ve made it up to a week in advance and kept it frozen until ready to use. I love adding chopped pecans to my cream cheese frosting. If you prefer a smooth frosting, just sprinkle them on the cake after frosting it. OR, add the chopped pecans to your carrot cake before baking. The  BEST Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake recipe  starts with two layers of homemade red velvet cake with a layer of cheesecake in the middle. Topped with delicious cream cheese frosting and white chocolate curls!

A Vanilla Toffee Handbag Cake for Kate Middleton s Birthday.

You need to your handbag hardware ahead of time so that all the pieces will dry. I dyed my gumpaste with Wilton Golden Yellow before creating my hardware. I always like to dye a base colour when I am painting. This way if any highlighter or luster dust rubs off, it is much less noticeable. I created loops, hooks, and clasp and a ring to use as hardware on my bag. I always have such fun making handbag cakes because you can be your own designer ! Once all of your hardware is dry, brush on a thin layer of vegetable shortening and then paint all the pieces with gold highlighter. The shortening helps the fine powder adhere to the gumpaste. It is a little known fact that I am a Duchess. The Duchess of Cakebridge is my exact title, but I try to keep that on the down low. I just want to be treated like a regular girl. Just your average cake decorator with a You Tube channel (don't forget to subscribe !). There is a lot of pressure put upon royalty. Now in Cakebridge, we all believe that organization and order is of the utmost importance. Which is why I always ensure to sort my tools and ingrents on Parsel for you to find before baking your cakes - find them all here. Now it's off to the grocery store with you - spit spot! . At this point you need to measure and cut your dowels to support the middle board. Insert one dowel into the cake, a mark, and then cut it with your garden shears. I cut 4 dowels into 8 measured lengths and inserted them into the cake. Spread on a thin layer of buttercream before adding your board. I cut the front, back and sides of my cake to create a tapered shape. I wanted the bag to be wider at its base, the type of handbag that can stand up. Then I created an indent at the sides where the leather would fold in on itself. Using an X-acto knife, sure to cut away any of your base cake board that may have been revealed where you created the indent. Cover the two side of the handbag cake...
