Birthday Cake


1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (3 sticks), at room temperature, plus more for preparing the pan


2 1/4 cups sugar


3 cups cake flour, sifted, plus more for preparing the pans


1 tablespoon baking powder


3/4 teaspoon fine salt


1 cup whole milk, at room temperature


1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, at room temperature


6 large egg whites, room temperature


About 4 to 6 cups VANILLA FROSTING or CHOCOLATE FROSTING, recipes follow


Food coloring (optional)


Enough candles to equal the age of the birthday celebrant





Lightly butter and flour two 9 x 1 1/2-inch round cake pans. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.


In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter at low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Slowly add the sugar and mix until just incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.)


Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla.


Reduce the mixer's speed to low. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture, waiting for each to be fully incorporated before adding the next (scrape the bowl down occasionally). Raise the speed to medium and mix briefly until a smooth batter is formed. Transfer the batter to a large bowl.


Thoroughly clean the bowl of the mixer and place the egg whites inside. Using the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on high speed, until stiff peaks are formed.


Working in 3 batches, using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter, until just incorporated.


Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Place the pans on the middle oven rack evenly spaced apart. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through the cooking, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes.


Remove the cakes from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the sides of the pans. One at a time, invert the cakes onto a plate and then re-invert them onto a cooling rack, rounded-sides up. Let cool completely.


Frost the cake. Place one layer, rounded-side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand. (If using the vanilla frosting, reserve about 1 to 2 cups for coloring and decorating.) Using a palette knife or offset spatula spread about half of the frosting all over the cake. (Spread enough frosting over the top to make a 1/4-to-1/2-inch layer.) Carefully set the other layer on top, rounded-side up, and spread all over with the remaining frosting.


If coloring the vanilla frosting, place the reserved frosting in a medium bowl and stir in the food coloring, little by little, until the desired color is reached. Transfer the colored frosting to a pastry bag with small, round or fluted tip, or a plastic baggie with a small portion of a corner cut off.


Using the colored frosting, creatively write ';Happy Birthday'; to whomever and decorate the edges in fringes and whirls, if desired. Serve immediately with lit candles or store at room temperature or in

  • What is a good recipe for cheese cake.?

    Emeril Lagasse has a fantastic recipe:





    Milk Chocolate Cheesecake





    You will need:


    2 C. Oreo cookie crumbs


    1/4 lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted


    3 lb. cream cheese. softened


    2 C. sugar


    6 large eggs


    1 C. heavy cream


    1/2 C bleached all-purpose flour


    Pinch of salt


    1 tsp. pure vanilla extract


    8 oz. milk chocolate, melted





    Preheat your oven to 350.





    Combine the cookie crumbs and the melted butter in a med. mixing bowl. Throroughly mix together, then press into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.


    Beat the cream chesse in a food processor (I just use my Mix-master and the large bowl that goes with it). Add the sugar and process (mix). Add the eggs one at a time mixing/processing between each addition. Add the heavy cream, flour, salt, and vanilla and mix/process until smooth scraping the sides often. With the mixer/processor running, add the chocolate in a steady stream. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake it until it sets, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (I bake mine in a water bath and it bakes more evenly and doesn't crack.)


    Remove from the oven and loosen the sides of the cake with a thin knife. Cool completely. If you like it chilled, toss it into the fridge for about an hour. You can garnish it with strawberries and real whipped cream ike I do, or you can do Emeril's recipe:


    1/4 C. Grand Marnier


    2 pints asst. fresh berries


    2 C. sweetened whipped cream


    springs of freash mint


    In a med. size bowl compbine the Grand Marnier and berries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

If you use a blend that does not have any added gums or gluten-free stabiliser then add in one teaspoon of xantahn or guar gum with the flour. I use ORGRAN brand flour and this is from one of their magazines. Orgran is gluten, airy, nut, egg free and is vegan diet suitable

    * 1 tablespoon vinegar or orange juice





    Directions





    Preheat oven to 180掳C Oil and line a round cake tin.


    Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Use an egg whisk to aerate- their is no need to sift the dry ingredients.





    Using a mixing jug, beat the oil, vinegar, vanilla and water together. Mix well.





    Make a well in the flour mix and add the wet mix. Beat this together slowly and when mixed through beat with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes.





    Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.The mixture should be the consistency of a thick batter. Cook 45-60 minutes.

    My son is allergic to eggs,wheat and dairy, his birthday is coming up,need a cake recipe,help! ?
    I'm sorry that your son has so many allergies. There are cakes with no flour, cakes with no eggs and cakes with no dairy but you can't leave out all 3. Why don't you make him a rice krispie ';cake';. I think Kelloggs has a web site for these cakes and you can shape them any way you want to and decorate with smarties, etc.. Good luck.
    Geez what CAN the poor little guy eat!? Everything cake related has wheat, dairy, or eggs in it.





    How about this...trying to help the little guy out here...get a sponge cake and put some strawberry or apricot filling on top with candles. idk maybe the sponge cake is no good. Could you ask the pediatrician or see if he can eat a little piece? Everything cake has dairy in it. But sponge cake is pretty benign.
    Pamela's Baking mixes is gluten(wheat), egg and dairy free. They come in vanilla and chocolate flavors and there is icing mixes too. You can find them at Whole Foods and some grocery stores if they carrry a gluten free section. Otherwise, you can go online and get them either through amazon or one of the gluten free websites like www.celiac.com.


    Pamela's cookies are very good. One of my favorite treats.


    good luck and have a happy birthday
    You can use flour instead of wheat, cake doesn't require milk for the most part, but you need to find a substitute for eggs.

    There was I think maybe applesauce in them.Looking for recipe from Weight Watchers that was a chocolate cake mix made into muffins for only 3 points?
    yeah applesauce instead of the fat (butter etc.) I dont remember the exact amount.Looking for recipe from Weight Watchers that was a chocolate cake mix made into muffins for only 3 points?
    Go to Weight Watchers . com for the recipe. You can reduce the fat in any mix by using applesauce instead of oil. I really like Sweet and Lows cake mix and frosting's.

    I need help with a cake recipe!?

    I am making red velvet cupcakes that call for buttermilk..can whole plain yogurt be a replacement? Thanks to everyone that answers :)I need help with a cake recipe!?
    Buttermilk Substitute:





    Milk (just under one cup)


    1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice


    Preparation:


    1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.





    2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.





    3. Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.I need help with a cake recipe!?
    Put a teaspoon of regular white vinegar or lemon juice into a cup of regular milk, and mix it up. That will act like the buttermilk. Yogurt would be a totally different texture
    I never use real buttermilk, just regular 2% milk and a tiny splash of vinegar. Wait until it thickens, 5 min. or so, then it's ready!
    YES ! TRY IT
    yes but your cake will be more moist
