PERFECT SAND CAKE



Perfect Sand Cake image

This recipe is the final result of all cake recipes I have ever tried and this is (in my opinion) the best recipe you could use for having a great cake. I consider this recipe is the basic mixture I use and then I use any of the variations I know to end up with a different cake each time. Note: Regarding the flour, I either use 3 cups of all-purpose flour or 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 cup whole-wheat flour to have that grainy rustic texture of cake which I like, so it depends on your personal taste.

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup corn oil (sunflower oil, vegetable ghee, margarine or butter)
2 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 orange, juice and zest of, grated
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon anise seed
1 orange, juice and zest of, grated
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup coarsely-chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Put the oil in electric mixer bowl, put in sugar, beat the mixture until blended.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix yogurt with water.
  • Add flour in thirds alternating with yogurt and water mixture.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda and one of the variations mentioned above (or you can be creative and add whatever you like).
  • Pour the cake mixture (the mixture shouldn't be thick, it is almost watery in consistency).
  • In greased, floured cake pan (I prefer the one with the whole in the middle or a loaf pan for easy cutting).
  • Put the cake in COLD oven, set the heat at 180°C, let the cake in the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the cake from the oven,let it sit for about 10 minutes, remove from pan.
  • Let the cake cool on wire rack (or I put the cake in plastic bag and close it while the cake in it so the outer surface of the cake won't be hard, it will be soft instead.
  • Optional: You may sprinkle icing sugar on the face before cutting into pieces.
  • Serve the cake with orange juice, coffee or hot tea.

SPICED SHERRY CAKE



Spiced Sherry Cake image

My mother received this recipe from a friend years ago when fluted tube pans first became popular. The cake lasts a few days in the refrigerator, if you don't eat it all right away. I personally love to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. -Debbie Pelletier, Jupiter, Florida

MOM'S SHERRY CAKE



Mom's Sherry Cake image

Simple, but wonderful!! This was my favorite cake that Mom would make when I was little... for that matter, since I wasn't really that fond of cake, it's probably the only reason I ever ate any. Whenever I make this for gatherings, everybody asks for the recipe... and then begs me to make it for the next gathering, too. :)

Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup cream sherry
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/2-1 cup powdered sugar
milk

Steps:

  • (This recipe has three separate portions to combine together: the cake, the cinnamon mixture, and the frosting.) Combine cake ingredients and mix for 5 minutes in mixer on medium speed.
  • Combine cinnamon mixture.
  • Butter the sides and bottom of Bundt or angel food tin.
  • Sprinkle part of cinnamon mixture into pan covering sides and bottom.
  • Then pour cake batter into pan in three alternating layers with cinnamon mixture, ending with cinnamon mixture.
  • Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, checking to make sure the sugar on the outside of the cake does not burn.
  • Let cool; place on serving plate.
  • Mix together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a "drizzly" consistency of frosting, then drizzle over the sides (both inside and outsides).
  • Let frosting set before serving.
  • Note: if your oven runs hot, you might want to try baking for 35 minutes to begin with, then remove cake from oven and taste-check a portion of the cake which doesn't show easily (such as the inner ring) to make sure the sugar coating isn't burning and the cake isn't drying out. Thank you, Michelle S., for the input that prompted me to edit the recipe for this! :).
