GERMAN SWEET CHOCOLATE CAKE
===========================
Ingredients:
------------
Cake:
-----
4 oz. Baker's Sweet German Chocolate
1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 t. vanilla
2 1/4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 c. buttermilk [I used skim milk soured with 1 T. white vinegar]
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour 3 9" round cake pans. Line the
bottoms of the pans w/ buttered parchment or waxed paper, or foil (shiny
side up). Melt chocolate in boiling water (I did this in the
microwave). Let cool. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until
fluffy. Add yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Blend in vanilla and chocolate. Mix flour with soda and salt, then add
alternately with buttermilk to chocolate mixture, beating well after
each addition until smooth. In a separate bowl beat egg whites until
they form soft peaks. Fold them into batter. Pour batter into the
three pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Cool in the pans for 5 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool. When
cool carefully peel off paper.
Coconut-Pecan Frosting
----------------------
1 c. evaporated milk
1 c. sugar
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 c. butter or marg.
1 t. vanilla
1 1/3 c. coconut (shredded)
1 c. chopped pecans
Instructions:
-------------
In a saucepan, mix the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and
vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12
minutes. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Cool until thick enough to
spread, beating occasionally.
Frost only the tops of the layers with this frosting. Put on enough so
that a little squishes out the sides. I decorated the top with some
whole pecan halves.

JAVA POUND CAKE
===============
Source: The Coffee Book by Christie and Thomas Katona
Ingredients:
------------
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup brewed coffee *
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla *
1/2 tsp mace *
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Using an electric mixer, cream butter
and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating well after each
addition. Add coffee and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and
add to creamed mixture. Pour into a well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
which has been lined with parchment paper on the bottom. Bake for 1
hour and 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan for 15
minutes and then turn out on a rack to cool completely.
Now for my changes:
-------------------
I used a gourmet flavored coffee to make the brewed coffee with. The
flavor that I used was buttered rum. In place of the vanilla (I thought
it would clash with the rum coffee) I used Myer's Original Spiced Rum.
Also, since I didn't have any mace on hand, I used nutmeg instead. All
in all, it turned out well.

KRUMKAKE
========
Ingredients:
------------
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions:
-------------
Beat the eggs and sugar together until they turn pale yellow. While
continuing to beat, slowly add the melted butter. Add and blend in the
vanilla. Finally, stir in gently the flour, being careful not to
over-mix.
Heat the krumkake iron over medium heat.
Place one tablesoon of the mixture in the middle of the iron and close
lid, gently pressing until the batter spreads evenly to the sides.
Cook about 2 minutes on each side until very lightly browned.
Remove from iron and immediately roll around a cone form or the handle
of a wooden spoon. It will harden to shape very quickly.
To serve, fill with whipped cream.
You may need to experiment with the consistency of the batter, the
amount used and the cooking times to get it to work right. This is one
of those recipes that seems to require a goodly amount of "expert
knowledge" from doing it. Also, for the first few cookies of each batch
you may want to rub the surface of the iron with a lightly buttered
sheet of paper towel. After the first few, it is no longer necessary.
Cone forms are sold which are specially designed for rolling krumkake,
or you can use a cone used for making cream horns, or fashion one out of
a solid chunk of aluminum foil as I did. The 'real' ones are wood and
have a knob handle on the base to make them easy to use. They also have
a depth sufficient to roll the 6-7 inch circle around.

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE

Be careful when you drizzle the glaze--I managed to get the entire
counter sticky!

LOW FAT CARROT CAKE
===================
1 1/3 C unbleached all-purpose flour
1 C whole wheat flour
2 t baking powder
2 t cinnamon
1 t baking soda
1/4 t nutmeg
2 C grated carrots
1 C unsweetened applesauce
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1/3 C vegetable oil
1 t pure vanilla extract (I used artificial)
3 eggs
1/2 C raisins (optional)
1/2 C walnut pieces (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
In a mixing bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking
soda, nutmeg, raisins, and walnuts. Whisk together the carrots,
applesauce, sugar, oil, and eggs; gently stir into flour mixture.
Transfer to an oiled 9inch springform pan. Bake at 350F for 60-65 min
or until cake tester comes out clean.
Hint: if you like pineapple in your carrot cake, replace half of the
apple sauce with crushed or chunk unsweetened pineapple.
Frosting:
---------
Take 125 gms of cream cheese and mix icing sugar (powdered sugar) into
it. Keep adding icing sugar and mixing it in until it has a nice thick
but still spreadable consistency. I'd suggest starting with 1 cup of
icing sugar and working my way up. Frost the cake after it has cooled.
Refrigerate.
Additional notes by Eric:
-------------------------
- I found that three medium sized apples yield about 1C of apple sauce.
- about 125 grams of cream cheese was ample to make the frosting (and
increase the fat content). They suggest trying riccota or quark cheese
for lower fat.

NEARLY FAT FREE MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE
========================================
Ingredients:
------------
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa (I use an alkalized cocoa, it's better)
2/3 cup hot water, divided
3/4 cup + 2 tblsp all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1/4 cup + 2 tblsp sugar-free applesauce (you could try prune
butter - I've heard this works too)
2 egg whites, slightly beaten with fork
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-------------
Spray round micro-proof baking dish, 7-1/4 X 2-1/4 inches or 8 X 1-1/2
inches with a vegetable cooking spray. Line bottom with a round of
plastic wrap. Re-spray lightly.
In small micro-proof bowl combine cocoa and 1/3 cup water; microwave on
high( full power) 40-50 seconds until very hot and slightly thickened.
In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda,baking powder and salt.
Wisk or stir dry ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.
In another small bowl combine the applesauce, the remaining 1/3 cup hot
water, egg whites,and the vanilla.
Add the chocolate mixture to the applesauce mixture and blend. Add the
applesauce/chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and stir together
with a fork or wisk. Blend ingredients gently and as little as possible
to achieve mostly smooth batter. If you overbeat, you will get a
rubbery texture in the cake.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Microwave on high 5-6 minutes
without turning until cake begins to pull away from sides (some moist
spots may remain but will disappear on standing). Let stand 5 minutes;
invert onto serving plate. Peel off plastic wrap; cool. Frost. Serve.
Makes 1-8 inch layer.

OMA PANTKES MARMORKUCHEN
========================
White Dough
-----------
250 g butter
250 g sugar
500 g flour
ca. 2 cups milk
3--4 eggs
15--20 g vanilla sugar
1 pkg baking-powder ( 2-3 tsp)
1 flask rum flavoring ( 2 tsp)
Instructions:
-------------
Stir butter, sugar, and eggs until foamy. Sieve flour, and leave about
1 tbsp of it. Stir flour, milk and rum flavoring into the
butter/sugar/egg mass.
When the dough is ready, mix the baking-powder with the rest of the
flour and add to the dough.
Dark Dough
----------
5 tbsp dark cocoa (the real thing)
7 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp soluble coffee
2 tbsp strong rum
5--10 g vanilla sugar
1 tsp baking-powder
1 dash milk
10 tbsp white dough
Instructions:
-------------
Mix cocoa, coffee, sugar, rum and baking-powder with a little bit of
milk. This stuff should be a little bit thicker than the white dough.
If you accidentally poured a little bit too much milk in the cocoa mass,
you can add a small amount of flour until you have the right
consistency.
When the cocoa stuff is well blended, add ten good tablespoons of the
white dough and blend well as well. (funny pun...)
Oil baking pan, and dress with bread-crumbs. Then fill in alternatingly
white and dark dough.
Heat oven to 180 deg C and bake one hour and five minutes.

PASSOVER CAKE
=============
Ingredients:
------------
9 e ggs
1-3/4 cups sugar
juice and grated rind of one lemon
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup matzo cake flour
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, a moderate oven.
Separate 7 eggs. Beat whites until stiff but not dry. Add two whole
eggs to the yolks and start beating. Gradually add sugar, lemon juice
and rind while continuing to beat. Add potato starch and matzo cake
flour.
Carefully but throughly fold in beaten whites. Bake in an ungreased
10-inch tube pan for 40-50 minutes. Invert pan until cool [If you are
lucky you will need to put it on a wine or Coke bottle]. Remove from
pan.
Variations:
-----------
1) Add cut dried fruit such as apricots, prunes, and raisins.
2) Add chopped nuts.
3) Use orange juice concentrate instead of lemon juice and orange rind
instead of lemon rind [especially good with nuts].
4) Use apricot nectar instead of lemon juice and use chopped dried
apricots.
5) Use nuts and dried fruit.
6) Use only 1/3 cup potato starch and 1/3 cup matzo cake meal. Add 1/3
cup cocoa powder. Use up to 3 Tablespoons of Sabra liquer to substitute
for lemon juice [yes you can get it kosher for Passover].
7) Do chocolate substitution and add chocolate chips.
8) Do chocolate substitution and add nuts.
If you use nuts, fruit or chocolate chips, use some of the matzo cake
flour to lightly coat. Fold in with egg whites and they will not sink
as badly to the bottom.
