Beas Homemade White Cake Recipes

Steps:

• CAKE: Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside. I actually use Wilton Cake Release. I buy it at either Walmart or Michaels'. In your stand mixer bowl add the first five (5) ingredients and whisk together until well combined. Add milk, butter and vanilla* (plus 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract if so desired) and beat on low speed to combine. Now turn on medium speed and beat for two (2) minutes, scraping down sides after the first minute. Add whole eggs(not just the whites) and continue beating for an additional two (2) minutes on medium speed.
• Pour evenly into your prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes. NOTE: You can also use 2 or 3 round cake pans. Check them for doneness at 20 - 25 minutes.
• STRAWBERRIES: Wash and cap 1 pound of strawberries. Slice or chop and place into bowl.
• Cover strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar, stir, cover and place in fridge for a couple of hours to marinate.
• HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM: Place measuring cup and beaters in the bowl you will be using and place in refrigerator for a couple of hours.
• Now measure out one (1) cup heavy whipping cream and beat on high for a couple of minutes or until it's the consistency of cool whip. Fold in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and combine well.
• This makes and excellent strawberry shortcake. Put a piece of this cake into a bowl, spoon on desired amount of sweetened strawberries and a big dollop of homemade whipped cream and top with more strawberries. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse them with cold running water. In a medium heavy casserole, combine the mustard, vinegar, ginger, brown sugar, onion and chicken stock. Whisk together until evenly blended and add the beans.
• Trim any tough outer skin from the salt pork and pork hocks and add them to the casserole, placing the bacon in the center and 1 hock on either side. Bake in the warm oven for 3 hours, or until the beans have absorbed most of the liquid and the remaining sauce is thick. Stir occasionally to keep the beans evenly moistened, and add up to 1 cup water if necessary to keep the beans from scorching. About 1 hour before the beans will be done, combine all the ingredients for the garnish in a small glass bowl and toss together well. Pull the meat off the bones, cut the bacon into chunks and serve each bowl garnished with a spoonful of the vegetable salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

Steps:

• The fine moist crumb of this cake complements any type of filling and frosting -- the perfect celebratory cake.
• Set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Combine egg whites, milk and vanilla extract. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to butter mixture then add half the milk mixture. Continue to alternate beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrape bowl and beater often. Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth top with a metal spatula. Bake cake(s) about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack, remove paper and let cool completely.
• Variation:
• CLASSIC YELLOW CAKE Substitute 3 large eggs and 1 egg yolk for all of the egg whites above.
• 2 (9-inch) diameter by 1 1/2-inch deep layer pans or 1 (13 by 9 by 2-inch) pan, buttered and bottoms lined with parchment or waxed paper.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 9x13 baking pan.
• 2. Cake: In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, 1 1/4 cups water, oil and egg whites and mix until combined. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Be sure to scrape down the sides of bowl half way through.
• 3. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely for about an hour.
• 4. After the cake has cooled for an hour stir gelatin with the one cup of boiling water until disolved then add the 1/2 cup of cold water & mix well. Poke several holes in the cake with a skewer, chop sticks, fork or ice pick. If using an ice pick, be careful not to puncture the bottom of your pan. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for two hours.
• 5. During the last hour while the cake is refrigerated, wash the blueberries and drain between paper towels. Also, wash, remove stems and slice each strawberry in half. Again, drain between paper towels. This will prevent the berries from staining the white frosting.
• 6. To Assemble: Remove cake from fridge and spread on the cool whip (or homemade whipped cream) to cover entire cake. Pat berries as dry as you can with a paper towel. Place the blueberries in a rectangle in the upper left hand corner and then place the halved strawberries (cut side down) to symbolize stripes on the USA flag. KEEP REFRIGERATED.
• 7. *Homemade Whipped Topping*: Chill mixing bowl and beaters for at least an hour or put in freezer for 30 minutes. Beat heavy cream until it keeps it's shape on the beaters. Add in the vanilla and beat a few seconds more. Fold in the powdered sugar.
• 8. Tip: Make sure you have extra blueberries so that you can add some to each slice when you plate it up. If you don't like using boxed cake mix you can always use this homemade white cake recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/beas-homemade-white-cake.html?p=1&page=7#comments
