noreply@blogger.com (Barb) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 23:38:00 +0000

Cake is always good, isn't it? Even if you just can not meet, you should not do without cake. :D And since cake doesn't go bad overnight, you can simply store it in the fridge and treat yourself to a slice for dessert or in the afternoon for a family coffee-and-cake round after a little game of table tennis.

My kids are just crazy about bananas, so here today times the classic version of the mole cake - as a sheet cake, because 2 round mole cake recipes with cherries and a light version with strawberries's already on my blog.

Delicious Classic German Mole Cake

5 eggs
350 g flour
50 g cocoa powder
1 pck. baking powder
100 ml milk

For the cream:

500 g low-fat quark

Chocolate Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Filling and Chocolate Buttercream

noreply@blogger.com (Barb) — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 23:07:00 +0000

Chocolate Layer Cake

Adapted from Hershey’s

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar
1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup natural cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s)
1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Spray each pan again and coat with a thin layer of flour.

2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be very thin.

3. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Wrap each layer in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Make the cream cheese filling and chocolate buttercream (see recipes below). When you’re ready to assemble the cake, remove the layers from the refrigerator. If needed, level each layer with a serrated knife or cake leveler.

5. Place the bottom layer on a cake plate. Evenly spread about 3/4 cup of the cream cheese filling over the cake, leaving about 1/2 inch margin around the edges. Top with the second layer and repeat. Finally, top with the third layer. Apply a thin layer of chocolate buttercream over the top and sides of the cake. This is only a crumb coat, so it doesn’t need to be perfect. Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes.

6. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and apply a final layer of chocolate buttercream, as well as any desired embellishments.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese
3/4 cup (6 oz) butter
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
6 cups (24 oz) powdered sugar

Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed for about one minute. Add the vanilla and beat one minute more. Reduce the mixing speed to low, and add the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time. Once the sugar is completely incorporated, beat at medium speed for about two minutes or until fluffy.

Chocolate Buttercream

1 cup (8 oz) butter
1 & 3/4 cups (5 oz) natural or dutch-processed cocoa powder
6 cups (24 oz) powdered sugar
1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed for about one minute. Reduce the mixing speed to low, and add the sugar/cocoa mixture about 1/2 cup at a time. Halfway through this process, add the milk and vanilla. Once all of the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, beat at medium speed for about two minutes or until fluffy.

Note: Each of these recipes makes quite a bit of frosting! You could probably get away with half the amount of each (just halve all of the ingredients, and follow the same process), but I usually err on the side of having too much rather than too little. You can always freeze any leftover frosting in an airtight container!

Delicious Creamsicle Cheesecake

noreply@blogger.com (Barb) — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 23:34:00 +0000

The batter might feel kind of loose as you're adding it to the pan—don't worry! After a couple hours in the refrigerator the cheesecake mixture will be perfectly firm and creamy.

Ingredients:

FOR THE CRUST

24 whole Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
6 tbsp. melted butter
Pinch of kosher salt

FOR THE FILLING

1 (3-oz.) box orange Jell-O
1 c. boiling water
2 c. whipped topping
2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sour cream
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt

FOR GARNISH

1 c. whipped topping
1 clementine, peeled and separated into segments

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together orange Jell-O and boiling water until Jell-O is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.

Make crust: In a medium bowl, mix together Oreo crumbs, butter, and salt. Press into the bottom of an 8" springform pan and up the sides.

Make filling: In another large bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth, then add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture, then pour half of mixture into cooled Jell-O. Whisk until smooth.

Onto the crust, alternate pouring 1/4 cup dollops of cream cheese and Jell-O mixtures until both mixtures are used up. With a butter knife, gently swirl the layers. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours, or until firm.

To serve: When firm, pipe dollops of whipped topping around the outside of the cheesecake. Top each dollop with a clementine segment, garnish with orange zest, and serve.

Delicious Pecan Pie Cheesecake

noreply@blogger.com (Barb) — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 22:56:00 +0000

Pie is the best, especially during the holiday dessert season. But, when our dessert spread is absolutely filled with delicious pies, sometimes we need to switch it up a bit. Enter: Pecan Pie Cheesecake.

Take your pecan pie to the next level by turning it into a rich and nutty cheesecake! Extra creamy base + sweet and sticky pecan topping = best Thanksgiving dessert ever.

Ingredients:

FOR THE CHEESECAKE

Cooking spray
3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
1 c. packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt

FOR THE CRUST

1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
5 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
Pinch of kosher salt

FOR THE PECAN PIE TOPPING

4 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. heavy cream
1 3/4 c. whole or chopped pecans
Pinch of kosher salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325º and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment), beat cream cheese and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt.

Make crust: In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Press mixture into prepared pan.

Pour filling over crust. Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. (If you want to bake the cheesecake in a water bath, wrap bottom of pan and place in a deep baking pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway in the baking pan.) Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then remove aluminum foil and refrigerate cheesecake in pan until firm, at least 5 hours and up to overnight.

Before serving, make pecan pie topping: In a nonstick skillet over low heat, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly (keep heat low to avoid burning butter). Stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, pecans, and salt until completely coated, then remove from heat and let cool and slightly thicken. (You can make the topping up to an hour in advance and keep at room temperature; don't refrigerate as the butter will solidify.)

Step 5

Release springform pan from cheesecake and spoon over cooled pecan pie topping. Serve.

These easy pumpkin waffles are so wonderfully delicious and perfectly spiced. Pumpkin puree and ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) are the stars, providing signature fall-inspired flavors.

noreply@blogger.com (Barb) — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 02:37:00 +0000

This devil’s food cake is a wildly decadent treat to whip up for any occasion. Essentially, it’s an easy-to-make chocolate layer cake. Buttermilk and oil help to ensure a very moist cake crumb. Coffee is added to deepen the overall taste in richness. (But you won’t taste it—it just acts as an enhancer!) It gets decorated in a creamy chocolate buttercream frosting (plus chocolate sprinkles) to seal the deal. Bottom line: It’s the perfect treat for all chocolate lovers.

Moist & Delicious Devil's Food Cake

Ingredients:

FOR CAKE:

Cooking spray
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. strong black coffee

1 c. unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
4 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350° and line two 8" round baking pans with parchment paper. Spray pans with cooking spray around the bottom and rim for good measure.
In a large bowl: whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add in oil, eggs, black coffee, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.
Using a kitchen scale, divide batter evenly into prepared cake pans.
Bake cakes for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cakes comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for at least 10 to 15 minutes and then invert cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Low Carb Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 23:53:00 +0000

This Low Carb Crustless Pumpkin Pie provides all the taste, a lower carb count, and will feed a crowd for any fall holiday. It is delicious!

Low Carb Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
* 1 (15 oz.) cαn pure pumpkin
* ½ cup hαlf + hαlf or coconut milk
* 2 egg whites (or 2 eggs' worth of egg replαcer)
* ¾ cup erythritol or sugαr
* 2 teαspoons pumpkin pie spice 

Instructions:

1. Preheαt oven to 350°F. Greαse αn 8-inch pie pαn αnd set αside. I use α springform pαn becαuse it mαkes the pie much eαsier to remove from the pαn αnd slice, but you cαn use α regulαr pie pαn if thαt’s whαt you hαve.

2. In α lαrge bowl, combine αll the ingredients αnd whisk until very thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepαred pie pαn αnd bαke in the oven for αbout 50 minutes, until the pie is mostly firm. I would stαrt checking it αt 40 minutes αnd let it bαke for up to 60 minutes. This pie cαn be α little finicky in terms of bαking time, so I would keep αn eye on it αnd tαke it out once it's pretty firm to the touch but definitely before it stαrts to look burned. Note thαt it will αlso firm up once chilled. The texture will depend on whether you use egg whites or egg replαcer, hαlf αnd hαlf or coconut milk, or sugαr or erythritol. Chill the pie in the fridge for αt leαst two hours before serving. Depending on how the texture turns out, sometimes I like to freeze the pie for 30-60 minutes before serving to firm it up αnd/or cut down on chilling time.
Devour.
