This is the recipe for the cake my mother made every Valentines Day. She would bake the cake in 2 pans. One round, and one square. She then would turn the square cake to form a diamond, cut the round cake in half and attached each half to either side of the point of the diamond with frosting. She would then decorate with candies and write with red frosting “Be My Valentine”,. That is how the name came about. Try this recipe for a wonderful Valentine Day dessert.

Yes, I burp a lot. UUURP. It was my dad’s birthday on the 2nd, so I baked him delicious caek. Want to make some too? Cool. Here’s how: Preheat oven to 350. Make sure you have a nice big cake pan like the one I used. (Or you can half the recipe; that works too.) You need: 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sugar (or just 1 cup if you don’t want it that sweet) 1 tbsp baking powder 1 steek of butter NOTE: If you use unsalted butter, add 3/4 tsp salt. If you use salted butter, don’t worry about adding any salt. 2 eggs 1 cup of milk vanilla extract. anywhere from 1-2 teaspoons is good, but you can add a bit more if you want. Mix dry ingredients together in a… mixing bowl I guess. Soften the butter in the microwave (or leave it out until it’s room temperature/soft), and “cut” it into the flour/sugar/baking powder mix. Add the eggs, the milk, and the vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then normal/high speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into cake pan (make sure you grease it first), bake for 20-30 minutes, and voila! CAEK!
Is there a way to add something to a chocolate cake mix to make it a fudge cake? Also, is there a way to make the cake dense, like a bakery style cake? I was thinking that 2 eggs instead of 3 may do the trick.
There’s nothing much better than the smell of cinnamon to make the mouth water. Whether waking to the smell of cinnamon or walking in the door to the fresh smell, cinnamon awakens the senses like few aromas can. Here are some old-fashion recipes using cinnamon for you to try. Let the smell of cinnamon envelope your kitchen today.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in shortening, using a pastry cutter or two knives, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk, just until moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead 8 to 10 times. Roll or pat into a 12-inch by 10-inch rectangle. For filling, spread the butter over the dough. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter. Cut into five 2-inch strips; stack strips on top of each other. Cut into six 2-inch pieces, place cut side down in six greased muffin cups. Bake at 425 degrees for 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks to cool. Serve while warm.
