Re: Cakes
You can definitely add sour cream to your recipe (about 1/2 cup) don't omit any ingredient, it is in addition to recipe, and it will help. You could try replacing 1/2 (or all if you're brave) of the butter or oil in the recipe with unsweetened applesauce or pureed prunes. This adds moisture but doesn't alter the taste too much.
Also, you could make a simple syrup (equal parts sugar & water) to pour on after cake comes out of the oven when it is cooling. Just brush or pour over the layers or, if making a bundt cake, poke holes in with a small dinner fork and pour over entire cake.
Hope this helps.

STRAWBERRY BOSTON CREAM PIE
Items Needed:
1 Yellow Cake Mix with Ingredients used to bake it.
1 Large Box of Jello Vanilla Pudding, Instant or Cooked, with Ingredients to make it.
1 Small Box of Jello Vanilla Pudding, Instant or Cooked, with Ingredients to make it.
3/4 cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
2 Tbsp. White Karo
1 cup Water
3 Tbsp. Strawberry Jello,
Red Food Coloring
2 Quarts of Fresh Strawberries
Dental Floss
Tooth Picks
Cool Whip-Regular or Strawberry Flavored
Pieces of Parchment Paper to surround the cake for a cleaner area.
Bake your favorite Yellow Cake, per instructions on box. Place in a 9X13X2 pan. Bake as per instructions how to on box. When done, allow cake to cool down.
Make 1 Large Box and 1 Small Box of Jello Vanilla Flavored Pudding. You can use Instant or Cooked Brand. Follow as per instructions on how to on each of the boxes.
Next, mix together in a sauce pot:
3/4 cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
Add:
2 Tbsp. White Karo
1 cup Water
Bring to a boil and let boil for 6 minutes, stirring until clear and thick.
Add:
3 Tbsp. Strawberry Jello, stirring until its dissolved.
Add a few drops of Red Food Coloring if needed or wanted.
Let cool. Clean 2 quarts of fresh strawberries and drain well. Slice to desired thickness.
Once Pudding and Strawberry Sauce have both cooled and thickened, add some of the berries to the sauce.
Turn out cake onto serving plate or cake lid. If you can, place some parchment paper around the outside edge of the cake in case it gets a little sloppy. Slice cake in half with a piece of Dental Floss for an even cut. To do so, cut off a piece that will easily wrap around your cake…use it as a measuring tool…plus about an extra foot on each side. Wrap evenly around your cake and cross extra length to secure cake. Now, just pull on the floss and it will slice the cake the entire way through. If you like, wipe off floss and save for another cake cutter if needed. Once cut, flip the other piece of cake to a clean surface. Make sure that this piece has a flat surface for the top of the cake.
Spread the Vanilla pudding on the one piece of cake. Spread it smooth and to the edges. Place the flat piece of cake onto the top of the pudding piece of cake. Be sure that surface is as flat as possible! Spread some of the Strawberry Sauce onto the top of the cake. Begin to arrange sliced strawberries onto top. The berries will slide, so around the entire edge of the cake, once you place a berry slice there, add a toothpick either into the berry or the cake to stop the berry from sliding. Leave about a half to an inch of the tooth pick out so you can remove them before serving.
Fill the cake in with strawberries. They won’t slide off in the inner parts of the cake, so you won’t need tooth picks for those pieces. Once the top of the cake is covered in berries, add the remaining strawberry sauce to the top of the cake as well, covering the strawberries. Let set overnight in your refrigerator. You can place any extra berries in the sauce and if desired serve on side as well, or eat as a treat.
This is a very heavy and very moist cake. Its heavy from all the goodies in it. If possible, make 1 or 2 days a head so the flavors can marinate better in the cake. The longer it sits, the better it taste! If it can sit long at all. Before serving remove all of the toothpicks. If you like you can pipe Cool Whip around the edge once the toothpicks are removed. Or, if you like, you can serve Cool Whip on the side of the cake. Cut, serve, and ENJOY!
this one is a 5 YUMS UP!

Re: Cakes
Hi all,
I need a recipe for a homemade Lemon Cheese cake. My Mother use to make these all of the time when we were children and that was a long time ago, she has now passed on to be with the Lord. She gave me the recipe and I have lost it in so many moves to different places.
She made it from scratch and it was very good and lemony as she used fresh lemon juice and the zest. I need this for New Years Eve as we have to go to a party at our church.
Thanks if anyone can help.
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!!Last edited by Southern Belle 2067; December 21st, 2006 at 04:29 PM. Reason: had to add a sentance

Re: Cakes
Hi KW,
This not the recipe I was looking for. My mother used just a regular cake 2 layers. Do you think I can use a 1234 cake and use the lemon glaze? wouldn't I need more glaze than what you used in the Lemon cheesecake or about the same? Let me know, I do remember now she did use the 1234 cake from scratch do you have the recipe for that? I think I lost most of my old recipes when they were stolen as I can't find any of them. I've looked in a lot of cookbooks but most of them used a boxed cake and it just doesn't taste the same.

Re: Cakes
I agree with you - cake mixes are not the same as homemade - that is why I make my own cake mixes - at least I know what I am eating. Here's a collection of recipes - let's see if we can work on this and come up with what you are looking for -
Lemon Cake
(2 cakes)
1/2 lb butter
3 cups granulated sugar
5 egg yolks, beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp baking soda
5 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Cream butter, adding granulated sugar gradually, until light and fluffy.
Add remaining ingredients except egg whites and confectioners' sugar and mix until well blended. Fold in beaten egg whites. Divide batter between 2 loaf pans (9x5x3 inches). Bake for 1 hour.
Sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream.
the original 1234 cake:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
4 eggs
Bake 350* until done.
Lemon Chiffon Cake
2 1/4 cups. flour
1 1/2 cups. sugar
1 Tablespoon. baking powder
1 teaspoon. salt
1/2 cup. vegetable oil
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup. cold-water
2 teaspoon. lemon juice
1 teaspoon. lemon rind
6 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon. cream of tartar
Sift flour. Add sugar, baking powder and salt; sift 3 more times, last time into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and pour in oil, lightly beaten egg yolks, lemon juice and rind. Beat all this thoroughly.
In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until very stiff. Gently fold flour mixture into egg whites. Pour into greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325F for 1 hr. and 10 min. Test with straw or cake tester to see if done. Invert over bottle and let set on table. Let cool completely. Frost the cooled cake with Lemon frosting. Serves 12-16 easily.
Lemon Frosting
2 cups. confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup. soft butter
1 teaspoon. milk, more if necessary
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
Grate lemon rid and wrap in piece of cheesecloth. Wring the oils into the sugar before it is blended, or gently blend with the sugar. Let set 15 min. or more to allow the flavors to blend. Then cream sugar and butter, add juice and enough milk to make icing. Frost cake
Tip decorate with sprigs of mint for color.
Lemon Cream Cake
Cake:
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
Grated rind of 1 lemon
2 1/4 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Glaze:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large beater bowl beat cream cheese and butter. Beat in the sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and beat until thoroughly blended.
Add lemon rind, flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Blend at low speed just until thoroughly combined.
Pour batter in a greased 10 inch bundt or tube pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Insert a toothpick or cake tester in the centre to test for doneness - it should come out clean. Do not underbake.
Glaze:
Combine lemon juice and sugar. Pour over the hot cake, allowing it to run down the edges between the cake and pan.
Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, place a cake plate over top of the pan. Turn the plate and pan over, and carefully remove the pan, so that the cake is sitting on the plate. Cool thoroughly.
Lemon Queen Cake
3/4 c Butter
3/4 c Shortening
3 c Sugar
1 c Milk
1 c Water
4 1/2 c Sifted cake flour
2 tb Baking powder
1 1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Almond extract
9 Egg whites
2 c Flaked coconut
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
Lemon filling (see recipe below)
Lemon butter frosting (see recipe below)
Chocolate Glaze (see recipe below)
Instructions:
Note: Use real butter to make a delightful difference in this easy coffee cake.
Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating 5 to 7 minutes.Combine milk and water. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in flavorings. Beat egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Pour batter into 4 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool on wire racks. Combine coconut and lemon juice,
tossing gently. Spread Lemon Filling between layers and on top of cake; spread Lemon-Butter Frosting on sides. Press coconut mixture into frosting on sides of cake.
Make Two Sheet Cakes: The cake batter may be baked in two greased and floured 13- x 9-inch pans at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. One recipe of lemon-butter frosting or chocolate glaze will top both cakes. For the lattice design, you'll need two recipes of lemon-butter frosting.
Lemon Filling
1 1/2 c Sugar
1/3 c Cornstarch
1/2 ts Salt
2 1/2 c Water
1/2 c Lemon juice
9 Egg yolks; beaten
Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; gradually stir in water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir about one-fourth of hot mixture into egg yolks; stir into remaining hot mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until
mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat; chill.
Lemon Butter Frosting
6 tb Butter or margarine;
- softened
3 c Sifted powdered sugar;
- divided
1/4 c Milk
2 ts Grated lemon rind
1 ts Vanilla extract
Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, beating until blended; gradually add milk, beating until blended after each addition. Beat in lemon rind and vanilla. Gradually beat
in remaining sugar until blended; beat to spreading consistency.
Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients:
1 pkg Semisweet chocolate chips; (16-oz) package
1 c Whipping cream
1/2 c Butter; softened
For a variation on the classic lemon cake, substitute this recipe for the lemon frosting. This makes enough glaze for the four-layer cake or the two 13- x 9-inch cakes. Combine chocolate and whipping cream in a large glass bowl. Microwave at Medium-High (50% power) 3 1/2 minutes. Remove and whisk or stir until chocolate melts and mixture is blended, 1 to 2 minutes. If chocolate isn't melted, microwave again at 50% power 30 to 60 seconds; stir
briskly. Whisk or stir in butter. Set aside 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture has cooled to a spreading consistency.
any closer??????Life is God's gift to you......what you do with your life is your gift to God.
