SIX LAYER CAKE



Six Layer Cake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
2/3 cup hot water
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Butter, for greasing
Flour, for dusting
1 box vanilla cake mix, such as Betty Crocker

Steps:

  • For the frosting: Mix the cocoa powder, espresso powder and hot water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the evaporated milk, sugar, butter and salt and cook until thick, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla paste. Let cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour six 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix the cake batter according to cake mix package instructions. Measure out how much batter you have and then divide it by six. Pour the portioned batter into the cake pans; the layers will be thin, about 1/4-inch in height. Tap the pans on the counter for even baking.
  • Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on the cakes, until cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack in the pan.
  • Assembly: Add a small dollop of frosting to a cake stand or cardboard cake round and then set a cake layer on the stand. With an offset spatula, spread the top of the layer with about 1/4 cup of the frosting. Continue building the cake, spreading frosting between each layer. Once all the layers are assembled, leave the top unfrosted. Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set. Then frost the top and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.

LAYER COOKIES (MAGIC LAYER BARS)



Layer Cookies (Magic Layer Bars) image

I can still remember the first time I had one of these cookies at a church picnic as a kid...MMmmm. I've loved them ever since. Easy to make and always popular. A classic!

Provided by Marg CaymanDesigns

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 40m

Yield 16 large cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker, crushed to crumbs
1 cup flaked coconut
6 ounces chocolate chips (1 cup)
6 ounces butterscotch chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (fat free works fine)
1 cup nuts

Steps:

  • Place melted butter in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Spread graham cracker crumbs over top. (I actually prefer to melt my butter in the microwave, mix in the graham cracker crumbs and then pat into the pan. It makes a more even bottom crust, I think.).
  • Layer the coconut and chips in order given. Pour sweetened condensed milk over all. Top with nuts. DO NOT mix together.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. (Please check earlier if your oven runs hot!).

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to mix together more evenly and bake more consistently.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help the cookies to bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
