Party at Pete's House!

[toggleswitch]

OOOHH YUMMY.

I am honored.
All kidding aside, very good. Most people get perplexed at the diamond cuts. NOT KIDDING.

Did you put the syrup on a hot or cold cake?

 

[gansky1]

Bethann - did you make that cake?? It looks incredible!

If I didn't have so many cookies, fudge and goodies around here from Terry and I baking last week, I'd make a cake!

My 'sky-god' likes cake, maybe I'll make one for an offering and eat the leftovers ;-)

 

[frigilux]

Godammit, Bethann! You trumped my simple, humble, little Quaker-esque cake with your big-ass, fancy, polymath, multi-frosted unit! That's it; I'm off for a GOOD, LONG SULK!!!

 

[toggleswitch]

Yes please Canasta cake, and honey-nut cake.

with some camomile tea and we are all set.

Godammit, Bethann! You trumped my simple, humble, little Quaker-esque cake with your big-ass, fancy, polymath, multi-frosted unit! That's it; I'm off for a GOOD, LONG SULK!!!

 

[toggleswitch]

Oh, and Firigilux. One more word and you're God's ne

Godammit, Bethann!

Er.. Eugene. Beware of Holy-roller.

 

[bethann]

Oh Eugene!

Your cake looks wonderful! I didn't mean to post at the same time. No pouting.

Greg: Yup, Love to bake! I think that's where my kitchen fetish thing comes in. LOL
I'd post some pictures of some others but I'm afraid Eugene would hunt me down right now. Maybe after his cake cools awhile. After all his is RIGHT OUT OF THE OVEN!

 

[frigilux]

Go ahead and post your pretty, pretty pictures, bethann! I'm off sulking! And who the hell told you people my real name, anyway? Geez! Now I know how Valerie Plame feels!!!

(OK, I am rolling on the floor with laughter....)

 

[toggleswitch]

OK time to share edited excerpts of the pvt e-mails I got

I swear to you I have never howeled so hard. I'm crying, peeing, and getting a sore throat.

1- see there is another nut on the website....nothing a good stiff **** up the *** (dry) wouldn't cure.

2-Sanctimonius scum ***.

3-One has to wonder what happened that made them become born again? Many times, I have found, it is some personal tragedy or violation that induces this.

4- "CLEANFRESH" Sounds like a D***** product to me.

5- Don't often do this, but I've got to say, I just love what was said on that post. It had me rollin' on the floor all day at work.

6- Dear Dr. Evil: Play nice with the fundamentalist or I will have to send you to your room for a time out!

7-I'm so saddened to see the crap that is being dished out in your direction. This isn't right.

Thank you all for the love.
I am a big boy and can defend myself!

My momma done' told me, she said that you luv me.

Chocolate Cake

Pre-heat the oven to 325F. Butter and flour a tube pan.
For the cake you will need:
2/3 cup Sauerkraut
1/2 cup cocoa (dutch-process--Droste is good!)
2 cups plain flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
10 Tablespoons UNSALTED Butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 T. Vanilla flavoring
1 cup WHOLE Buttermilk

Method:
Rinse the sauerkraut in a collander, then squeeze the excess water out. Run it through the food processor untill chopped very fine.

In a seperate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.

Put sugar and butter in large bowl of electric mixer and cream on high speed untill fluffy. Reduce speed to lowest setting and add eggs one at a time blending well after each addition. Add flavoring.

Slowly add about a third of the dry ingredients, then about half of the buttermilk. Then about another third of the dry ingredients and the remaining buttermilk. End with the rest of the dry ingredients. Add finely chopped sauerkraut.

Pour into prepared pan and bake about 45 minutes to an hour or untill tests done. Cool completely then turn out onto serving plate.

To make the glaze:
In a small saucepan, using low heat stir together about four ounces bittersweet (or semi-sweet) chocolate (I use Scharffen Berger 70 percent), 4 T. UNSALTED Butter, 1 t. sugarcane syrup.

When well blended turn off the heat and let come to room temperature. Drizzle over cake.

Ya'll get up on this!

 

[frigilux]

Sauerkraut in chocolate cake, eh? Wow, and I thought Lutefisk was a surreal concept. Fire up the oven, bethann; this one's yours, girl.

 

[frigilux]

Toggle--- Don't worry; God and I settled-up when I was three. I get to live to be 100 and then I have to spend eternity in rural southwestern Minnesota. Hey...wait a minute...

 

[retromom]

Cake, cake - my queendom for cake!

Geez guys....like I needed the excess poundage! Those cakes look absolutely delicious! My stomach started growling and I have been forced to dig into Hayley's plastic bear container of animal crackers! I am a desperate cake-craving woman!

Bethann: Girl, how do you do it? How do you keep the top of the *#& cake flat? Mine always end up looking like Beldar Conehead's cousin. Beautiful decorating too! Are you one of them "Wilton" gals? I am so jealous!

Eugene (sorry I keep perpetuating your outing): A big ol' hunk of your cake with a cup of coffee would be like winning the lotto! OK, a few extra pounds will make me "curvy". ;-) Oh, and about that eternal damnation...I heard if you had been really, really, bad - they would have sent you to Texas!:-0

 

[jetcone]

WOW

Only 1 day in Florida and everthing goes crazy! how do you do it???
Anyway Bethann --- I'm loading up the big F-150 and throwing Aloysius in and heading west for a piece of that CAKE!! YUMMMMMM!

jet

And oh yes make mine DEVILS cake!

Wouldn't want to skip ANY of Gods creation!

 

[frigilux]

Hi Venus-- What's worse is this: my middle name is Byron. Eugene Byron. Apparantly my parents wanted to make sure I'd get into fistfights EVERY DAY at lunchtime during junior high, LOL.

 

[appnut]

Well Eugene & Toggle, I can't have the cake Eugene so thoughtfully baked because of my diverticulosis--it has the type of nuts I can't have [they're not attached darn it]. But I am a chocoholic through and through. So Bethann, I hate to disjoint such a beautiful cake, but I gotta have a piece of that awesome cake girl. And Gyrofoam, a piece of yours too darn it. I'd actually been sliding the scale digits down some even during the past two months' of holidays.

Cake, Cake Cake

If you can all wait until tomorrow, I have a wonderful flourless, rich (decadent), (are you listening Toggle) chocolate cake that is easy to make. I will try and post tomorrow. Please check the thread tomorrow

[toggleswitch]

shhhhhh-- the holy-roller looms.

 

[toggleswitch]

RAY-

It is of no use to me (and my evil kind) unless it is SINFUL.

My Prayers Answered!

Gyrafoam, many, many thanks!

I have been looking for that sauerkraut cake forever, and lo and behold here it is! My co-workers never believed me when we were talking about cakes the other day.

I'd post a pic of my poppyseed cake, but it's all gone. The recipe can be found on the back of Solo Poppyseed Filling labels.
