Daffodil Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together, as directed on the cake mix box. Bake the cake in a 13 x 9" baking dish, using the temperature & time suggested on the cake mix box. Remove from oven and cool.
• 2. Drain the pineapple well. (I actually squish it with a wooden spoon, just a little, so the cake won't get soggy.)
• 3. Spread drained pinepple over the cooled cake.
• 4. In a blender (or using a bowl & mixer), mix together the cream cheese, pudding mix, and milk until well-blended. Pour over the pineapple on the cake...
• 5. ...and smooth the pudding evenly over the cake.
• 6. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until the pudding is set. Then frost with Cool Whip.
• 7. Refrigerate again until ready to serve. (If there are any leftovers, refrigerate them, too.) I wish this photo showed the whole slice of cake. Silly JAP editing! =^..^=

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add cream of tartar and vanilla; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft peaks form. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; fold into egg white mixture. Set aside., In another large bowl, beat egg yolks and water until thick and lemon-colored. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into egg yolk mixture. Beat in vanilla. , Alternately spoon yellow batter and white batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Immediately invert pan; cool completely., For frosting, combine the sugar, flour and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in pineapple juice until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool. Fold in whipped topping. , Remove cake from pan to a serving plate. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake.

Steps:

• Place round cake in the center of sheet cake. Place 4 cupcakes on the top of the layer cake so that they touch in the center; then add 1 more cupcake on top of the 4 cupcakes. Place the 4 remaining cupcakes on the corners of the sheet cake. Decorate with cookies around cakes pressing gently into frosting and/or inserted into the cupcakes.

Steps:

• For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt through a coarse-mesh sieve onto a piece of parchment. Beat yolks and 1/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until doubled in volume, 3 minutes. Beat in both zests and juices.
• In a clean bowl with clean whisks, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy. Beat in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar; beat to stiff peaks. Transfer to a large, wide bowl. Sift one-third of flour mixture over top; gently but thoroughly fold in. Repeat twice more with remaining flour mixture.
• Fold half of egg-white mixture into yolk mixture; dollop into an ungreased 10-inch angel-food-cake pan. Top with remaining egg-white mixture. Run a knife through to release air bubbles. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Invert pan onto its legs (or rest on the neck of a wine bottle); let cool 1 hour. Run a knife around inside of pan and tube to release cake and unmold, then use it to release cake from pan bottom; remove.
• For the Glaze: Whisk together all ingredients to create a thick but pourable glaze. If too thick, whisk in more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, more confectioners' sugar. Place cake on a cake stand and pour glaze over top, letting it drip down sides. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes; decorate with flowers.

Steps:
