We did so much cooking and baking last week here. The following are three recipes that everyone really enjoyed and wanted. I hope you enjoy them as well!!
Brown Sugar Pound Cake, got this from Southern Living!
1 cup shortening, crisco
1 stick of real butter
1 one pound box of light brown sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Brown Sugar Glaze
1. Beat shortening, butter, and brown sugar at medium speed for 2 min. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
2. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder; add alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the vanilla Pour batter into a greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan. I used Pam with flour, works great.
3. Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 15 min. or until a long wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 miln. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire cake rack. Make the glaze and pour over the cake. Let stand 30 min. for the glaze to firm up.
Brown Sugar Glaze
1 stick of butter, real of course
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over med. heat. Whisk in brown sugar and cook for 1 min.
2. Add milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla. whisk until creamy, remove from heat and pour over the cooled cake!!
DELICIOUS!! Even better the second day if you have any left!
This is a very interesting recipe that Greg Nunn shared with us!
Cold Oven Pound Cake
You'll need a large 16 cup angle food cake pan for this. One piece pan would be best. I had a two piece pan and a bit of the batter leaked out. Grease and flour the pan well. Again Pam with flour works great.
3 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 stick of real butter unsalted, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1. Adjust over rack to the lower middle position. Combine flour, baking poweder, and salt in a bowl. Mix the milk and vanilla in a measuring cup.
2. With an electric mixer on med. speed, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 min. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture in 3 additions alternating with 2 additions of the milk mixture. mix on low until smooth about 30 seconds. Use a rubber spatula to give batter a final stir.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Place cake in a cold oven and set temp. to 325. Bake without opening the door until cake is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 65-80 min. I think it took about 65 min. for us.
4.Cool cake in the pan for 15 min. then turn out and cool on a rack.
5.We served this with fresh strawberries and a bit of real whip cream for added energy!
Roger's Pizza Dough This is a recipe from Roger LeQuea.
We doubled this recipe and it made two large pizza's! Best to make this dough the day before and let sit in the refrigerator, seems to make it easier to handle.
1/2 cup warm water
1 pkg. or 1 TBSP. yeast
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 TBSP. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups flour
Combine yeast, water, sugar, oil, and salt in a bowl. mix well. Using the dough hook on the Kitchen Aid mix in the flour and knead till smooth. Place in a tightly covered bowl, and store in the refrigerator over night. Remove from the refrig and let rise in a warm spot till doubled.
Spread onto a baking pan, we used large cookie sheets and add the toppings of your choice.
Bake at 425 for 15 to 20 min.
These were so good!!
Hope that you all enjoy these recipes as much as we did!
