What are some good cake recepies?

Question

I am a 12 year old who loves to bake...

But I'm not sure what to bake...

Well...

That's not true...

I want to bake cake...

What I meant was that I don't know what kind of cake to bake...

If you have any suggestions please answer this question by posting a link or copying and pasting the recepie...

If it's in a cook book and it's really good...

Well then you'll have to type it up because I don't any dessert cook books...

So the one that I use will get best answer...

P.S. I'm not alergic to anything, I just don't want chocolate because I'm baking it with my cousin and she doesn't lke chocolate cake...

THANKS AGAIN!!!

Answer 1

hey(:

i have a couple of recipies to share with you.

Gingerbread Cake

Beat:

1/2 cup shortening (or margarine)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup molasses

Add:

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ginger (I use more)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup boiling water

Beat well and bake in greased 8-inch square pan at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

********************************

Strawberry Marshmallow Cake

1 cup miniature marshmallows

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries

1 small box strawberry gelatin

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup shortening

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease bottom only of a 13 x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over bottom of pan. Thoroughly combine completely thawed berries and sugar with dry gelatin; set aside.

In large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Pour batter evenly over marshmallows in prepared pan. Spoon berry mixture over batter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

********************************

No-Bake Cheesecake

Yield: 8 servings

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed

1 (9-inch) ready-to-use graham cracker crumb crust

Fresh fruit or cherry pie filling for topping, if desired

Mix cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in Cool Whip. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

Top with fresh fruit or cherry pie filling if desired.

**************************

Nice Simple Torte

1 cup granulated sugar (3/4 cup if using graham crackers)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3 egg whites (4 if eggs are small)

11 2-inch graham crackers or 16 Ritz crackers, well crushed (see Note)

1 cup finely chopped nuts (plus more for garnish, optional)

Mix sugar and baking powder.

Beat egg whites until almost stiff but not dry. Still beating, gradually add sugar mixture to eggs. Fold in nuts and cracker crumbs. Pour into well-greased pie pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool. You may want to gently crush down the middle of the torte if it has not formed a good space for a filling.

Notes: The type of cracker makes a big difference in taste and color. Grahams give a hearty feel and sweeter taste. Different nuts vary the taste. Substituting 1/2 cup coconut for 1/2 cup of the nuts is a good variation, especially with graham crackers.

Fill with what you want, perhaps a thin layer of jam and then whipped cream, perhaps just whipped cream with chocolate shavings and/or chopped nuts for garnish, then chill for at least 3 hours to allow filling to bond with the torte. Or simply cool the torte and serve with ice cream and a bit of sauce.

enjoy!

hope this helped!
