My dad is trying to teach me how to cook, and since he's off today and tomorrow, he's decided to teach me to bake a cake today. The problem is, we aren't sure what sort of cake we're going to make.
Now, I'm wondering if you guys on PPT know any recipes for cake. Keep in mind, I am a beginner, so please don't post advanced recipes. I'm sure you guys will have some great ones. Thanks in advance! :)

You could start out with a mix, those are always good to practice with. If you want to do everything yourself, something simple like a chocolate or vanilla cake would probably be best. Personally, I'd try a smaller project (like cupcakes) before I went to something that big, but it's your choice.

Putting lots of chocllate in the mix is good because it'll melt in the baking and it'll substitute for icing.

Try cooking something like cake mix, or muffin mix ^_^

I do a hospitality course, but I still love to do mixes. 5 minutes > an hour in the kitchen ;)

Icing goes on a cake. Not in it.

Hmm, all I've ever made is a bunt cake (the kind shaped like a really big donut) and the only tricky park is the cake has to be completely cool before you flip it over to get it out, otherwise it sticks and you end up with half the cake on the plate and half in the pan (I did that once and managed to fix it by sticking frosting inbetween the two halves and making a filled cake).

Depends on how long you want to spend on a cake. Putting applesauce into the mix can make the cake moist if you're making a Spice Cake. Also with a Spice cake my mom usually uses a bit of cream cheese in the frosting. :)

I always had a hard time baking cakes because I made the mistake of only using one cake pan to make the cake layers. First off, your best bet is to HAVE 2 cake pans of the same size. Depending on whether you want to make a 2 or 3 layer cake.

Here is one of my favorite Hershey's recipes:

Quote:
Deep Dark Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
ONE-BOWL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (recipe follows)
3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S Dutch Processed Cocoa
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.

3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. (Cake may be left in rectangular pan, if desired.) Frost with ONE-BOWL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING. 8 to 10 servings.


ONE-BOWL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2-2/3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S Dutch Processed Cocoa
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Beat butter in medium bowl. Add powdered sugar and cocoa alternately with milk, beating to spreading consistency (additional milk may be needed). Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting.

HIGH ALTITUDE DIRECTIONS (Cake):
-- Decrease sugar to 1-3/4 cups
-- Increase flour to 1-3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons
-- Decrease baking powder to 1-1/4 teaspoons
-- Decrease baking soda to 1-1/4 teaspoons
-- Increase milk to 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons
-- Bake at 375°F, 30 to 35 minutes for both pan sizes

LOL. I did the exact same thing. A little frosting goes a long way in hiding bloopers or mistakes. Its great. Just make sure to use a decent frosting (Betty Crocker all the way!) or you oculd end up with a gloopy mess (boo homeade icing that is just icing sugar and water!!)

also... cream cheese icing is not for the weak of heart! but what ever you do... dont add it to chocolate cake. bleh!

Oh my, this isn't about cake making but it's about a cake and I just had to share. I went to my friend's b-day party last night and she was turning 14 so she and her mom had made a 14 layer chocolate cake. It was like a foot tall! (and it leaned badly, but it tasted good)

Oh, another good thing to make is peppermint icing. You can either make it from scratch or add crushed Peppermints to vanilla icing. That's what my mom does because she doesn't want to make it from scratch and we can't find peppermint icing in any of the stores near us.

If i were you , a beginner, I would start out with a one layer cake and I would use a mix. Follow the directions, top it with icing and voila delicious cake! :D

Mixes don't teach baking. They teach you to add water, oil and possibly an egg to mix and bake that.
Thats not proper baking.

*is a food snob*

alas. I don't eat white flour anymore (not allowed, wheat flours fine though), so most traditional (ie. Good) cake recipis... are no longer appropriate for me. (wheat flour does odd things to cake)

As well, I don't have my recipis here at school. But if you can find a GOOD recipi for it, Red Velvet Cake is amazing. Tis my favorite... amazingly... yummy cake. So rich.

If your a beginer then i recomend starting cake making by making "Dump Cakes"

they are really easy to follow and are quite good.

I found a few recipies for you:

Dump Cake 1

2 cups of sugar
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of soda
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can of pineapple pie filling
1 cup of sugar
1 stick of butter
1 small can of Milnot
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Mix the first 5 ingredients together (can use spoon to mix).

Grease and flour 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350ºF. for 35 to 40 minutes. Boil last 4 ingredients for 7 minutes. Punch holes in warm cake with toothpick or spoon edge and pour topping in and over holes.

I've not had this particlar cake, but I've had a version of it with coconut and coconut cream VERY good lol


Dump Cake 2

2 cans of cherry pie filling
1 can of crushed pineapple, undrained
1 package of yellow cake mix, without pudding
2 sticks oleo, melted
Coconut
Pecans, crushed

Spoon pie filling in large pan; spread evenly. Spoon pineapple over pie filling. Sprinkle dry cake mix over pineapple. Pour melted oleo evenly over cake mix. Sprinkle coconut and nuts on top. Bake 1 hour in 325ºF. oven. Good warm or cold.


P.S. I've had this one before it's very good

Ooooh, I highly recommend you try making your own frosting. It tastes sooooooo much better than anything that can come from a can. Simply mix a lot of powdered sugar, with some crisco (vegetable shortening) and a little bit of milk, and a bit of vanilla extract, and you end up with wonderful tasting white frosting (you can add food colouring to it if you'd like)

I remember this really horrible recipe I made for halloween school nite once...adele screamed and spat so much. :D

Really Sickening Cake

1 1/2 cups flour - Awww, whatever! Just use a basic chocolate cake recipe!

This is the fun part!:
1 cup glue
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon green food coloring
5 gummy worms (dip em in red food coloring)
Hair, im serious. Hair.
Rocks. CLEAN ONES.
Big white Nerds, took me a while to get these. :lol:

So basically, use the cornstarch and glue and green tomake this sick green paste and put it on the cake(Do not eat)

Poke gummy worms into it. And add some hair on the slime thingy. And put rocks on the slime thingy, and the nerds so it's like a fungus! Awesome!

Adele Spat it out, Thomas didn't try it, Steven liked it. Some reactions.
