  GUAVA CHIFFON CAKE (nectar) - allrecipes

Recipe By : Laura Sacks
Serving Size  : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories: Cakes - Fruit   Cakes - Layer

   Amount  Measure   Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    
   2 1/4   cups  all-purpose flour
  2/3   cup  white sugar
   1 tablespoon  baking powder
   1   teaspoon  salt
  1/2   cup  vegetable oil
  1/2   cup  water
   6   fluid ounces  guava nectar
   5 egg yolks
   2  teaspoons  vanilla extract
   2  teaspoons  grated lemon zest
   3  drops  red food coloring
   8 egg whites
  1/2  teaspoon  cream of tartar
  1/2   cup  white sugar

Prep Time: 20 Min  *  Cook Time: 25 Min  *Ready In:  45 Min
Yield 3 cake layers

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare three 9 inch 
cake pans by lightly greasing them, dusting with flour, and shaking 
out the excess.

Sift together the flour with 2/3 cups of sugar, the baking powder, 
and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the 
oil, water, nectar, yolks, vanilla, and lemon zest until well 
combined. Pour the yolks into the flour, and mix until the batter is 
smooth, mix in food coloring until desired shade is reached. Beat 
together egg whites with the cream of tartar in a clean bowl until 
soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar, and beat until 
stiff. Gently fold whites into batter. Pour into prepared cake pans.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center 
comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Run a metal spatula or small knife 
around the edges of the cake to loosen, and allow to cool in the pans 
for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.

COMMENTS
Please use cake flour instead of all-purpose. At least half the 
quantity. Also, did not use red food coloring- no reason to make it 
schmancy for internal use. However for a party that would be festive! 
Delicious! I frosted with a pineapple-cream cheese frosting, which 
was delicious, but I would like to try with guava glaze and whipped 
cream like some other reviewers.

My DH absolutely loves this cake. Since discovering this recipe I 
have made it four times in two months lol. I made a glaze to go in 
the middle for a little extra quava flavor but my dh thought it was 
too bitter so I mixed the glaze with some cream cheese frosting and 
wow it was fantastic. Making it for his birthday again today. One to 
keep for sure.


Made this as my own birthday cake and loved it!! I frosted it with 
whipped cream and made some guava glaze to go in the middle and on 
top. Everyone loved it and I ended up making it just a week later for 
20 people. For the glaze I used 1 c. guava concentrate thickened by 2 
T. corn startch and 2 T. water. Thats enough to put between 3 layers 
and go on top.

I made this 5 times in the past week. I wanted guava chiffon cake 
w/whipped cream and guava topping. Cake flour is the only way to go 
to get the light, fluffy chiffon. All-purpose flour creates a denser 
and sometimes fallen cake. Use frozen guava juice concentrate (or 
passion fruit) in batter for a stronger flavor. 1 c. of egg whites is 
enough (6 jumbo/7 large eggs), just beat them until very stiff to 
hold volume. If not beaten long enough, you'll have baked guava 
pudding. For guava topping, the ideal recipe is 1 c. concentrate 
thickened on stove with previously mixed 1 T. corn starch and 2 T. 
water. I only had guava pulp (Goya brand) available and made my own 
concentrate: 2 c. guava pulp with 1/4 c. sugar to reduced to 1 c. I 
thickened with the corn starch/water mixture.* When desperate, thin 
some guava jam with water, and it works fine! *Using the reduced pulp 
in the cake makes for a flavorful though denser cake, more like guava 
bread. I wouldn't recommend it if you want a real chiffon.

The cake was moist and light, but needed a little something more. I 
decided to try and duplicate the way the cake is served from this 
well known Hawaiian Bakery in LA. I began by making a filling 
combining 2 cups guava nectar and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil and 
remove from heat. Blend in 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with a small 
amount of water. Let cool. Frost each layer with whipped cream and 
some guava filling. You can then frost the entire cake with whipped 
cream. For color, you can also spread some of the filling on the top 
of the cake. Chill before serving. Not exactly the same as the 
Hawaiian bakery, but close enough to satisfy my tastebuds.

This is a very light cake especially when frosted with a whipped 
cream frosting. In fact, you can eat at least twice as much! Makes 
for such a pretty pink birthday cake.

[CAKE-RECIPE] vanilla malt icing

   VANILLA MALT ICING - chow.com

Recipe By : Aida Mollenkamp
Serving Size  : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories: !! 5 or LessCakes - Frosting/Icing/Filling

   Amount  Measure   Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    
   3 sticks  unsalted butter -- (12 ounces) at room temperature
   1 1/2   cups  powdered sugar
  3/4   cup  malted milk powder
  1/2   cup  whole milk -- at room temperature
   2  teaspoons  vanilla extract
  1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt

Total: 10 mins
Active: 10 mins
Makes: 4 cups

What to buy: Malted milk powder is a natural sweetener made from 
barley malt, wheat, and milk, and is the key ingredient in malted 
milk shakes. Look for it next to the powdered chocolate milk and 
other drink mixes at your local grocery store.

Game plan: The frosting will last up to 1 week when stored in an 
airtight container in the refrigerator.

Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitter with a 
paddle attachment, and beat on low speed until sugar is incorporated.

Increase speed to medium high and beat until mixture is light and 
whipped, about 3 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of 
the bowl and the paddle.

Add remaining ingredients and return to low speed until ingredients 
are incorporated. Increase speed to medium high and continue whipping 
until frosting is evenly combined and light, about 3 minutes. Use to 
frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.

delicious! 1/3 of this batch (only made 1/3 of the recipe) frosted 24 
cupcakes. added a bit extra confectioner's sugar to get it to the 
right texture. easy too.

I think next time I will cut back on the amount of butter. It was 
very good and got rave reviews from my tasters. I liked the malty 
taste and aroma. Instead of the chocolate malt cake I used a French 
vanilla box mix (I'm really NOT a baker at all!) and put whipped milk 
chocolate frosting and a layer of crushed chocolate covered malt 
balls in between the layers of the cake. I frosted the top and sides 
with this vanilla malt frosting and stuck whole egg shaped malt balls 
around the sides (it was an Easter birthday). I saved the other hlaf 
of this icing recipe to use later on cupcakes.-COLLAPSE


Nice buttery & malty frosting. Try cutting down the butter to 1 1/2 
sticks and adding 1/2 cup extra powder sugar gives it a bit more 
stiffness & body to frost the cake.

Description:
   "Vanilla frosting is the ultimate topping for cakes or cupcakes. 
Here the classic is revved up with some malt powder, for a twist so 
tasty we stole a few spoonfuls of frosting to eat straight up."

NOTES : American cocoa is preferable, but Dutch cocoa is accpetable.

If you decide, like I did that you are tired & besides you know more 
than the author of the book & don't sift the powdered sugar for the 
glaze & find that you end up with itsy-bitsy lumps in the glaze that 
you can't get rid of, no matter how much you beat it.  Pour it on 
anyway & sprinkle chopped walnuts on top -- it will hide the lumps just fine!

Cake mix without the pudding is preferable (Duncan Hines).  If you 
don't have that on hand than the pudding in the mix will just be a 
little heavier  Can use devil's food cake mix too.

Variations: Did not use sauce any time I made this as I neer had the 
raspberry jam on hand (1) substituted rum extract for the vanilla in 
the glaze (2) substituted rasperry chocolate chips in the batter & 
substituted 1/2 tsp raspberry extract for the vanilla in the glaze 
(3) heated the water in the cake & dissoled 3 TBSP instand coffee; 
substitutded coffee extract for the vanilla in the glaze.

 Cakes - Fruit   Cakes - Layer

   Amount  Measure   Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    
 Cake:
   1cup  unsalted butter -- softened
   2   cups  sugar
   6  large  eggs at room temperature
   3   cups  soft wheat flour (such as White Lily)
   1   teaspoon  baking powder
  1/2  teaspoon  baking soda
   1   teaspoon  salt
   1cup  buttermilk
   2  teaspoons  vanilla
 Meringue layer:
  3/4   cup  plus 2 teaspoons sugar
   1cup  chopped pecans -- toasted
   4 egg whites
  1/8  teaspoon  cream of tarter
   1  Pinch  salt
 Peach filling:
   1 3/4cup  dried peaches
   1 1/2   cups  water
  1/4   cup  sugar
   2tablespoons  light corn syrup
 Buttercream frosting:
   1 1/4   cups  unsalted butter -- softened
   2 pounds  powdered sugar -- sifted
   2  teaspoons  vanilla
  1/4  teaspoon  almond extract
   1 1/2   cups  whipping cream

If you can't find dried peaches, combine dried apricots and pears, or use
apricots only, for the filling.

To make the cake: Grease and flour 2 10-inch cake pans. Heat oven to 325
degrees.

Beat butter in a large mixing bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer
until creamy; gradually add 2 cups sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a
time, beating until blended after each addition.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to
butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour
mixture. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

Pour batter into pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10
minutes. Remove cake layers from pans and let cool completely on racks.

To make the meringue: Grease a 10-inch springform pan; line the bottom with
aluminum foil and sprinkle the foil with 2 teaspoons sugar. Set aside.

Position a metal blade in the bowl of a food processor and add the pecans
and 3/4 cup sugar. Process until the pecans are finely ground, stopping
once to scrape down the sides; set aside.

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and pinch of salt. Beat at high speed
with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in pecan mixture. Spread
in prepared pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour
and 45 minutes or until thoroughly dry. Cool completely in pan on a wire
rack and carefully remove from pan. Remove foil.

To make peach filling: Combine fruit and water in a medium saucepan and
bring to a boil. Cover, remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes or until
peaches are soft.

Add sugar and syrup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes
uncovered, or until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat.

Position the metal blade in the bowl of a food processor. Add peaches and
process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Cool before using.

Makes 2 cups.

To make buttercream frosting: Beat butter, 1 cup powdered sugar and
flavorings. Beat at medium speed until blended. Add remaining powdered
sugar to the butter mixture, alternately with whipping cream, beating well
after each addition. Beat at high speed until mixture is smooth and of
spreading consistency.

To assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a cake plate and spread with
half of the peach filling. Spread 1 cup frosting over filling and top with
meringue. Spread remaining filling over meringue layer, and spread 11/2
cups frosting over filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top and
sides of cake with remaining frosting, as desired. Chill 2 to 3 hours.
Decorate cake as desired.

Serves 10.

MARY Lou Weyler doesn't consider herself tough competition in the cake
contests at the Kentucky State Fair.

"I'm not a cake person; I just can't decorate," says the Elizabeth, Ind.,
baker. "I do more with pies."

Weyler won a blue ribbon for the blueberry peach pie that she made with the
peaches that came from her peach trees.

She also won with a cake -- one of more than 4,600 entries in the culinary
competition at the Kentucky State Fair this year. Her "peaches-and-cream"
cake took a blue ribbon in the category that most people call "favorite

2 peaches = 1 mango

This is a Keeper! Just delicious. Do make with sugar for wonderful 
crust. I added a few more peaches because I love them so but not 
necessary. I'm making lots to freeze

Wonderful Recipe! I'm going to make it again tonight and freeze them 
to have this winter! Thanks! FYI-I've since taken one out of the 
freezer and let it thaw and it was still wonderful!

This cake was fantastic! I made it with apples and blueberries, and 
it was delicious! The blueberries were especially pretty once the 
cake was sliced. Like others said, the cake didn't easily come out of 
the greased pan, but once I buttered and sugared the pan, it came out 
much better. Also, the sugar makes a sweeter, browner crust.

Very easy to make, a rich and moist cake.

I have made this twice now - once with peaches and once with 
nectarines. It is definitely better with peaches, in case you're 
considering that substitution. And I couldn't find any comments about 
whether to peel the peaches, so I didn't, and my husband couldn't 
believe I had left the skins on. They just sort of melt in. This cake 
does NOT need any sort of topping, other than maybe a scoop of 
vanilla ice cream. I did make the caramel syrup some reviewers 
suggested, but it was totally unnecessary. This is a definite 
favorite in my house now, so since peaches are out of season, I'm 
going to have to try it with canned instead of fresh. Delicious!!!

I loved this recipe. My husband hates butter (what a wierdo!) and he 
found it a little rich, but to me that's perfect. I'll use this again 
- and maybe try it with other fruit in season. Thanks for the post!

Thought this was great! I make two loaves out of the recipe and I've 
already made it three times. (Freezes well too.) I used the advice of 
a few members and added a tsp. of almond extract. It really added a 
wonderful flavour. Will definitely be a keeper in my recipe box!

Superb!! Really wonderful texture and flavour. I don't think it 
matters what kind of peaches as long as they are ripe and juicy. I 
just bought a huge case here in Canada and don't even know where they 
came from, but probably not Georgia peaches, anyways very good thank 
you, will make again and might a few nuts...

I used nectarines as I didn't have any peaches. Once I'd pitted the 
nectarines I brushed the flesh with some lemon juice . I didn't have 
a tube tin so I made this in 2 loaf pans. Very moist cake with a very 
smooth texture. Thanks

I really loved this cake fresh out of the oven, served with homemade 
ice cream. I'm giving it a 4 because it didn't taste quite as good 
the next day, with no ice cream! But it was very moist and I 
absolutely loved it that first night! I will probably add another 
peach to it next time. Also, it took 90 minutes to bake for me.

We enjoyed this recipe, but it seemed to be missing a topping. Our 
favorite was a peach/raspberry sauce. I made it using 2 cups fresh 
peaches, 2 cups frozen raspberries, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 tsp 
Splenda. Just cook it until thick and put over the pound cake.

I live in the heart of Ga peach country..in fact, have an orchard 4 
miles from my house! This recipe was a HUGE hit at my church dinner. 
EVERYONE wante the recipe, but I was ready..took copies with me after 
sneaking a taste before leaving the house! Great

[CAKE-RECIPE] banana cake

Serving Size  : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories: Desserts

   Amount  Measure   Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    
 cake
  1/2   cup  butter -- 1 stick
   1cup  sugar
   2 eggs
   3 ripe bananas -- pureed
   2   cups  flour
  1/2  teaspoon  nutmeg
   1   teaspoon  bicarbonate of soda -- baking soda
  1/2   cup  cashew nuts -- chopped
 Merringue
   4 egg whites
   1cup  sugar
   2Tablespoons  light rum

Cream butter & sugar; beat in eggs one at a time.  Fold in mashed 
bananas & flour sifted with soda & nutmeg.  Add cashew nuts.  Bake 
about 50 minutes in lined, greased cake tin.

zosha's notes:  skip the "lining", just butter & flour.  Generally a 
cake tin would mean an 8" round cake pan.  You could make it in a 
loaf pan as well.  The meringue is obviously part of the cake, but it 
doesn't say what you are supposed to do with it.  I suspect that it 
is one of those things you are supposed to know.  So here is my guess 
... spread the meringue after the cake has cooked & cooled and bake a 
little while longer.

Meringue: beat egg whites, add sugar & rum gradually and continue 
beating until mixture holds a peak.

NOTES : Amy Jackson's chocoholic husband Allen is her office taste 
tester.  At his suggestion, she substituted buttermilk for part of 
the liquid in hr original chocolate poundcake.  They developed a 
winner that was awarded a blue ribbon the first tie she entered the 
state fair, competing against Deep South poundcake experts.

Thought:  substitute buttermilk & some flour for sourdough?

 Cranberry Upside Down Cake

Recipe By :Mariam Jacobs: The Brown Bag Lunch Cookbook
Serving Size  : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories: Desserts

   Amount  Measure   Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    
   1 tablespoon  unsalted butter
   1cup  light brown sugar
   4   cups  cranberries -- frozen or fresh, washed, picked over
   2 1/2   cups  unbleached all-purpose flour
   1 1/2   cups  brown sugar
   3  teaspoons  baking powder
   1 lemon -- zest
   1cup  2% low-fat milk
   2 eggs
  1/2   cup  applesauce
  1/4   cup  extra-light-tasting olive oil
  1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
  1/2  teaspoon  lemon extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar over the pan. Sprinkle the 
cranberries over that and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the berries for 30 
minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and remove the foil carefully 
(steam will escape).

3. Meanwhile, put the flour, 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, baking 
powder, and lemon zest in a food processor fitted with the steel 
blade. Process until well blended.

4. Add the milk, eggs, applesauce, oil, and extracts. Let the food 
processor run for 1 minute, scraping the sides down occasionally 
Spoon the batter over the cranberries and smooth out gently.

5. Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick 
inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Remove the cake from the oven and run a spatula around the edge. 
Invert the cake onto a serving plate, leaving the pan over the cake 
for a few minutes. Serve hot, warm, or cold.

VARIATION: Almond Cranberry Upside-Down Cake:
After the cranberries are baked, sprinkle 1/4 cup slivered almonds 
over them, before pouring in the batter. Omit the lemon zest and 
replace the lemon extract with 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.

NOTES : I brought this cake to a Christmas gathering and it was a 
huge success. The jewel-like cranberries end up on top and the cake 
is delicious. You can also place the traditional pineapple on the 
bottom of the pan. It is a sweet cake, so a little goes a long way.
