T&T Moist Coffee Cake
Comments (4)This is my go-to coffee cake recipe. It is really delicious. 1959 Los Angeles City School Sour Cream Coffeecake Topping: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup brown sugar; packed 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 cup butter, cut in small pieces Cake: 1 1/2 cups cake flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; set aside. All ingredients should be at room temperature. For topping, mix together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sugar, salt and nuts. Add butter. Rub in by hand until mixture is crumbly. Be careful not to over mix. In bowl mix together 1 1/2 cups cake flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, soda and baking powder. In another bowl cream together butter with sugar until fluffy and light. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Add half of dry ingredients, mixing just until flour is blended. Blend in sour cream, then remaining dry ingredients. Spread half of batter lightly into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with half of topping and spread with remaining batter. Sprinkle with remaining Topping. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until tested done when wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Comments (11)Is your oven temperature uneven (hot spots?)or not the right temp? Test the cake with a tester or toothpick near the center 5-10 minutes earlier than a recipe calls for. It should come out clean without crumbs sticking to it. You can use a regular chocolate frosting with this if you prefer as I do: DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE W/WHITE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING 2 cups flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 4 squares (4 oz) unsweetened chocolate 1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened 1 3/4 cups sugar 4 eggs 1 1/3 cups buttermilk 1 tsp vanilla Preheat oven to 325° with the shelf positioned in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Line two 9" lightly greased & floured cake pans w/circles of parchment. (You can dust the pans w/cocoa instead if you like.) Whisk together the flour, salt, nutmeg & baking soda & set aside. Melt the choclate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Remove the chocolate from the heat & stir until smooth. Let cool. Cream the butter & sugar until light & fluffy, stopping the mixer to scrape the bowl & beaters several times. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour mixture & buttermilk alternated to the batter, beginning & ending w/the flour mixture & mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla & cooled chocolate, blending just until the color is even. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Smooth the batter level, then spread it slightly from the center toward the edges of the pan so that the cake will rise evenly. Bake 35-45 minutes or until the top is lightly springy to the touch & a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the layers from the pan & cool completely on wire racks. Prepare the frosting. Center 1 of the cake layers on a serving plate & cover w/frosting. Place the 2nd later on top & frost the top & sides of the cake w/the remaining frosting. (Put the top of the layers upside down on the platter so the bottom is on top in case the cake "domes" a bit. You'll have a nice flat surface that way.)~~ WHITE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM 6 TBL heavy cream 4 oz white chocolate, chopped fine 1/4 cup creme de cacao 1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened 1 lb confectioners' sugar (4 cups) Cream the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate & stir until completely smooth. Stir creme de cacao into the white chocolate into the white chocolate mixture. Col, stirring occasionally. Cream the butter in a large bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar & beat 5 minutes until light & fluffy. Add the white chocolate mixture to the butter mixture gradually, beating at low speed until the desired ocnsistency is reached. Decorate with dark chocolate shavings.~~Save the Brandywine Valley...See MoreLOOKING for: How to make a pound cake from a box mix?
Comments (6)Basic Yellow Pound Cake - Anne Byrn, The Cake Doctor A cross between a Twinkie (sans cream filling) and a Sara Lee Pound Cake but better Vegetable oil spray for misting the pan Flour for dusting the pan 1 package (18.25 ozs) plain yellow cake mix 1 package (3.4 ozs) instant vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whole milk 1 cup vegetable oil, such as canola, safflower, corn, soybean or sunflower 4 large eggs 1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325��F. Lightly mist 1 10-inch tube pan with vegetable oil spray then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pan aside. 2. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, milk, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pan in the oven. 3. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 58 to 60 minutes for a tube pan. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a wire rack, then invert it again onto another rack so that the cake is right side up. Allow to cool completely, 30 minutes or more. Frost. 4. Store this cake, unfrosted, covered in aluminum foil, at room temperature, for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week....See MoreRECIPE: Moist Chocolate Cake
Comments (1)Sounds very much like a cake my grandmother used to make. I know lots of people who add coffee to their chocolate cake...I have even used cold coffee to a box mix and loved the result. Linda C...See Moreryseryse_2004
