2012-11-27 Thread Mary Ann Robinson
Red Velvet Cake with White Truffle Frosting

Need a special dessert? Layers of chocolate bliss frosted with indulgent yet

easy truffle frosting take the cake!

Prep Time:20 min

Start to Finish:2 hr

Makes:12 servings

Cake

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® German chocolate cake mix

1 1/4 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 bottle (1 oz) red food color

1 tablespoon baking cocoa

Frosting

1 1/2 cups white vanilla baking chips

2 1/4 cups Betty Crocker® Rich  Creamy vanilla frosting (from two 1-lb

containers)

1.

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray

bottoms only of two 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, beat cake

ingredients with

electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour

into pans.

2.

Bake and cool as directed on box for 8-inch rounds. Slice each cake layer in

half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers.

3.

In medium microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium

(50%) 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through microwave time. Stir until

smooth;

cool 5 minutes. Stir in frosting until well blended. Place 1 cake layer, cut

side up, on serving plate; spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Repeat with

second and third cake layers. Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down;

frost with remaining frosting.

How To

Splitting cake layers is easy. Insert toothpicks around side of cake layer

to mark middle point. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the layer

with

a long, thin, sharp knife, or pull a piece of heavy sewing thread

horizontally, back and forth, through the layer.

Variation

For a double-chocolate cake, use semisweet chocolate chips instead of the

white chips and Betty Crocker® Rich  Creamy chocolate frosting instead of

the

vanilla frosting.

Hi all,
For no apparent reason, I've been wanting a lemon cupcake or cake
recently. Two questions:
1. Can anyone provide a good recipe for this that is *not* from a box?
2. What sort of icing/frosting/glaze/whatever would you recommend for
this flavor? Plain? Vanilla? Orange? something else entirely?
Thanks in advance for any answers. I won't be home for about a week so
I can't make anything until then, but I'm looking forward to it when I
do get home. Desserts have been few and far between here and, while
that may be good for my health, I really want something good for my
mouth when I get home.

George And Lora's Strawberry Banana Dessert
(Lora Leggett 2012.06.28)

1 serving pack Little Debbie Banana Twins, each cake cut into 3 pieces
8 to 10 strawberries, halved or sliced depending on size or preference
5 or so tablespoons of your favorite ice cream or Cool Whip, I used Haagen 
Dasce Dark Chocolate Mint


Cut up the Little Debbie cakes and arrange them in the bottom of a bowl.
Cover with sliced or halved strawberries.
Cover that with ice cream or Cool Whip as desired.
Allow to sit a few minutes for the flavor of the strawberries and ice 
cream to absorb into the Little Debbies.

You can mix and match all the ingredients.
I used what was around.  I am sure Swiss Cake Rolls or other kinds of 
Little Debbies would work.
George's  vanilla ice cream was out and I just had a small ice cream 
container of my son's to use.
It is expensive so I just used a few tablespoons to cover the 
strawberries.


This is dedicated to the memory of George and is the first meal I have 
created since he passed away on June 16, 2012.
