Angel Food Cake
Liz made this and I was in heaven. The store bought are too chewy, and if egg prices were cheaper I'd make this more often. Yes you need to buy this pan... linked one here

Danish Cake or Cinnamon Sugar Bundt
Saturday, October 5, 2024
Sourdough Carrot Cake
Food Nanny page: 151
makes 1 double layer cake or 1 bundt cake
This was DELICIOUS and even a contender for DV carrot cake - YUM YUM
Cake:
2 cups White Kamut flour or 2 1/4 cups organic all purpose flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. French gray coarse salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups oil
4 eggs
3/4 cup discard
4 cups carrots (4-5 large carrots peeled and grated)
1 cup coconut
Icing:
3 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese room temp
5 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1) Preheat the oven to 350 F. and grease two 9'' cake pans (I use parchment too)
2)Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl
3) In a large bowl with an electric mixer or dough hook beat sugar, oil, eggs, and discard until well blended. Mix in dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in carrots and coconut. Divide evenly into prepared pans.
4) Bake for 30-40 min. until a toothpick comes out clean.
5) Cool on racks for 10 min. before removing from pans. Cool completely before adding icing.
6) Prepare icing by blending all ingredients until smooth enough to spread. Avoid over mixing
7) To frost the cake place a layer on a plate and spread with half the icing. Place the second layer on top and continue spreading the rest of the frosting to cover the cake.
Optional: place the cake in the freezer until ready to frost. Leftover cake can be frozen with the icing on. The cake can also be made in a bundt pan, or into mini cupcakes. Bake bundt cake for approximately 40 min. and mini muffins for 15 min.

Pecan Praline Sourdough Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Optional: 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup salted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard (sub: greek yogurt)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan generously with butter, and then dust with flour. This is ESSENTIAL to ensure that the pecan topping doesn’t stick!
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Pour evenly into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter, olive oil, and both sugars until combined and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, and whisk/beat until combined.
- Then, add in the pumpkin puree, sourdough discard, and vanilla. Whisk/beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Scoop or pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, and spread into an even layer.
- Bake at 350F for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. (check your oven around this time if you need 10 min. more or it's good... depending on your preheat settings)
- Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, the run a knife along the edges and gently invert onto a wire cooling rack.
- While cooling, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese glaze in a medium bowl.
- Once cooled, top with the cream cheese glaze. Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Choc. bundt cake with mini choc chips
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix (or sub with MILK CHOC. cake mix)
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix (just the dry mix)
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups miniature chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat together the cake mix, sour cream, dry pudding mix, water, oil, and eggs for about 2 minutes.
- Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan; tap on the counter once or twice to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 50 minutes – 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. My cake is always done in 55 minutes, but the total baking time will vary.
- Let cake stand for 10 minutes. Invert on a cooling rack and remove cake from pan.
- Once cake is completely cool, dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Grease the Bundt pan really well by coating with butter and then dusting with flour. Alternatively, you can use a cooking spray that's specifically made for baking (like this one). These options will ensure that your cake pops right out of the pan when it's done!
- Let the sour cream and eggs come to room temperature. They will mix smoother into your cake batter.
- Use full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not over-bake the cake or it can become dry. Start checking for doneness by the 50-minute mark, since total baking times will vary depending on your personal oven and the type and color of Bundt pan that you use.
- Don't leave the cake in the pan for too long after baking -- about 10-15 minutes is plenty. After that, condensation will start to form and the moisture will negatively impact the crust.
- The cake gets better as it sits, so this is a nice dessert option to prepare the day before you plan to serve it. Wait to dust with powdered sugar until right before serving.
- Loaf Cakes: If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can bake this cake in two loaf pans. The cooking time will be about the same or slightly shorter, typically 45-50 minutes in a 350°F oven.
- If you don't have a box of Devil's Food cake mix, use a box of regular chocolate cake mix.
- Substitute brewed coffee for the water. Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor in the cake.
- Use regular chocolate chips (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet, or white chocolate) in lieu of the mini chocolate chips.
- Finish with vanilla glaze or chocolate ganache instead of the powdered sugar. You can also omit the powdered sugar and eat the cake without any decoration or topping -- it's delicious either way!

7UP Pound Cake

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups butter, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup 7UP soda
- GLAZE:
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons 7UP soda
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon or lime zest, optional
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted or plain tube pan.
- 2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add flour alternately with 7UP, beating well after each addition.
- 3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 65-75 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. (If you put the glaze on faster it's looks more donut glazey so your choice on glaze preferences.... If you let the cake cool it looks more white and noticeable)
- 4. For glaze, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough 7UP to reach desired consistency. If desired, stir in zest. Drizzle over cake.

Raspberry Shortcakes
Um, this was amazing and I've saved this recipe since 2012 and finally made TONIGHT. It is a must try and Matt/I may have eatten a few... The cream/buttermilk in the shortcakes make them perfection and the sweetness of the raspberries is a nice touch. We simply used spray cream inside and my kids ate a bunch of raspberries for dinner so we even topped with cream/ and a single raspberry and they were amazing.
The only sanding sugar I had was red and it was delicious. I see this being amazing for a 4th of July treat with red/white/blue feel. Amazing summer time treat on a day with 100 degree weather.
