This is a fascinating cake recipe. Thank you for sharing. By plain old regular milk, you mean whole milk--the stuff I don't allow myself to drink any longer? Kathleen Eureka CA > For the Batter: > > 5/8 cup butter > 1 3/4 cups sugar > 8 egg yolks > 2 1/2 cups flour, s

This is the "quick" method of making a cake and it is the method upon which cake mixes are based. The difference is that you use better and fresher ingredients as well as real, not synthetic, vanilla. 2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 3 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 cu

I have two very moist cake recipes, one chocolate and the other yellow, both made "from scratch" with cake flour. The yellow one, however, uses shortening. I have not made it for years because I cannot eat hydrogenated fat--however, there are now non hydrogenated shortenings out on the market now

By pudding to flour a cake-pan, do you mean a commercial pudding mix? I always make my puddings from scratch so I don't quite know what you mean. Also, is butter flavored Crisco now available in a non hydrogenated version? I cannot eat trans fats/hydrogenated fats so I have always used real butt

Coffee Creamer in a cake recipe? How would you substitute real food? I won't put that stuff in my body. How about half & half? And there is a soy coffee creamer by Silk that contains real ingredients. Can either of those be substituted? Is the baking mix something that is on file? Or, are w

Have you ever tried making this with 1 1/2 cups butter instead of the margarine [1 cup?] and hydrogenated fat [unfortunately not on my diet]. I have a chocolate pound cake that has a similar make-up, but it takes all butter and buttermilk. It is very moist. Kathleen Eureka CA --- In CAKE-RE

This sounds like a great idea, but how would you make it "from scratch"? I am uncomfortable with cake mixes because most contain trans fats/partially hydrogenated fat. I assume you can use butter instead of margarine. Are these soft, crisp, or chewy? Any ideas out there? Kathleen Eureka CA
