Mint Chocolate Chip Cake | #Milkcake #Cupcakecakes #Cakedesserts #Nobakecake #Yummycakes #Dessertrecipes #Dessertrecipes #Rainbowbirthdayparty #Cupcakecakes #Diyfood #Foodhacks #Cookingrecipes

Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup hot black coffee
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 1 stick butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Frosting
  • 1/2 heavy whipping cream
  • 4 to 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 1 stick butter, softened to room temperature

Instructions

  1. Cake :
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 9 inch round cake pans with parchment paper. (I always trace the bottoms onto parchment paper, and cut them out to fit) Spray the pans and parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl attached to a stand mixer, add all of your dry ingredients. Turn it on low to mix together.
  4. Add the coffee, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and eggs. Turn the mixer on medium and beat for two minutes.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the cakes and placing on cooling racks to cool completely.
  6. Frosting :
  7. In a large bowl attached to the stand mixer beat the butter for about two minutes, until nice and creamy.
  8. While the mixer is on low, pour in the peppermint extract. Once incorporated, start adding the powdered sugar slowly. I usually add the heavy whipping cream when I'm at the second cup of powdered sugar. Once all ingredients have been added, beat for 3 to 4 minutes until nice and combined.
  9. Frost completely cooled cakes.

    LITTLE LEMONIES | #Lemonpoundcake #Lemoncakemixrecipes #Lemoniesrecipe #Lemonblueberrycake #Dessertrecipes #Sweetrecipes #Lemoncakemixrecipes #Lemoniesrecipe #Browniebites #Lemondessertseasy #Lemonbites #Lemonbrowniesrecipe








    Ingredients

    • LEMON BATTER:
    • 1 cup (5 ounces/142 grams) all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 cup (5.5 ounces/155 grams) sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
    • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • LEMON GLAZE:
    • 3/4 cup (2.75 ounces/75 grams) powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest






    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8X8-inch aluminum baking pan with parchment so that it hangs over two of the edges (to lift out the bars later - alternately, you can just grease the pan really well and slice them in the pan) and lightly coat the pan and parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and lemon zest.
    3. In a separate bowl or in a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the butter, eggs and egg yolk, lemon juice and vanilla.
    4. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until combined.
    5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
    6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs (the top of the bars should spring back lightly when gently pressed). Don't over bake or they might be dry.
    7. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth and combined.
    8. After the bars have cooled completely in the pan, drizzle the glaze over the top (since the glaze layer is thin, it helps to pour it all across the bars instead of in one puddle before spreading) and use an offset spatula or knife to spread evenly over the bars.
    9. Place the bars in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to let the glaze set before lifting them from the pan (using the parchment overhang) and cutting into small squares. These taste best chilled, in my opinion, but can be served at room temperature also.
