BASIC VANILLA CAKE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield two 9-inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pans
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pans
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole milk (or 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/2 cup water)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

TWINKLING GOOD VANILLA SNACK CAKES



Twinkling Good Vanilla Snack Cakes image

Got this recipe from King Arthur Flour and looks so good, like those twinkies from when I was a kid. Described as soft, springy and full of rich creamy white filling that will bring you right back to Saturday morning cartoons and school lunch boxes - without the chemical additives. These cakes won't last through a nuclear winter like the urban legend says, but are so good they will disappear in a twink of an eye. While I've ordered the special pan (called a canoe pan) to make them; at the bottom of the directions are tips to make them as cupcakes or for that really special treat as a Banana Split Snack. Finally made these and they went together easy and were a big hit at my DGS's birthday party.

  • Remove pan from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Using flexible spatula, gently remove each cake and cool flad side down on rack until completely cool.

  • Stir constantly and do not allow mixture to brown.
  • Remove from heat and let cool 1 minute.
  • Add vanilla and stir until smooth.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap down on the surface of the paste to avoid forming a skin and set aside to cool completely.

  • Add cooled flour/milk mixture and continue to beat 5 minutes on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Use to fill snack cakes or cupcakes.
  • Filling will remain creamy; store at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • To fill snack cakes: Place about 1 cup of filling into a clean pastry bag fitted with round pastry tube.
  • Gently insert tube into the underside of cake, about halfway through the cake.
  • Using gentle pressure, squeeze a small amount of filling into the cake.
  • You'll feel the cake expand under your fingers.
  • Do not overfill, or the cake will burst.
  • Repeat for a total of 3 times (differant areas) per cake.
  • Store cakes well covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • TIPS:.
  • To make snack cakes as cupcakes, prepare cupcake pans with cooking spray. Baking time will increase to 15-18 minutes. Cool and fill as directed.
  • For Banana Split Snack Cakes - replace vanilla with 1 teaspoon bananan flavoring to taste.
  • Prepare batter and bake as directed.
  • Fill one section of cake with chocolate icing, one section with strawberry jam and one section with vanilla filling, or pineapple dessert topping. True banana split taste in a handy portable snack cake. Grab one and "split".

EASY SNACK CAKE



Easy Snack Cake image

I needed SOMEthing sweet for an afternoon snack and modified a shortbread recipe to come up with this. It's not chocolate, but I have used vanilla instead of lemon, omitted the peel and added about 1/2 cup chocolate chips because that was the only chocolate in the house. This is a fairly dense, hearty cake

VANILLA SNACK CAKES



Vanilla Snack Cakes image

Despite some tall tales, Hostess Twinkies do not last forever. The box of Twinkies that my friends gave me as a gag gift were, in fact, hard as a rock in less than a year. These cream-filled chiffon cake snacks, made with real, unprocessed dairy and eggs and whole-grain flours, won't last nearly as long as preservative-laden Twinkies, but you will almost certainly gobble them up in no time at all.

Yield 8 large snack cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup (90 grams) white spelt or all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30 grams) ground millet or cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1/3 cup (66 grams) cane sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup (2 ounces) water
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 batch (about 1 cup) Snack Cake Crème

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a canoe-style snack cake pan. If you don't have a snack cake pan, you can use 4-ounce loaf pans. Alternatively, create your own molds out of foil by shaping double thicknesses of aluminum foil around a spice bottle and setting the individual foil pieces next to each other in a cake pan.
  • Sift the spelt flour, ground millet flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
  • In a dry mixer bowl with dry beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff, about 2 minutes. Transfer the beaten egg whites to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • In the same mixer bowl, add the sugar, honey, water, oil, egg yolks, and vanilla and beat for 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in half of the beaten egg whites; once the first half is fully incorporated, fold in the second half.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them 2/3 of the way full. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking. Cool the cakes in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely before filling with the Snack Cake Crème.
  • To fill the cakes, use a skewer or chopstick to poke 2 holes partially through the snack cake from the bottom, and wiggle around to hollow out some space. Use a piping bag fitted with a Bismarck (#230) tip or a very small star-shaped tip to fill the cake with the Snack Cake Crème.
  • To make raspberry snack cakes, make the snack cakes as directed. Coat each filled snack cake with raspberry jam and dust with shredded coconut. They will be sticky and delicious.
  • Or for Chocolate-Coated Snack Cakes, try dipping your snack cakes in melted chocolate.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will greatly enhance the flavor and texture of your snack cake.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a precise process, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure that your cake turns out as expected.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Wait until the cake is almost done baking before checking on it.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, vanilla flavor, this agave vanilla snack cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert, give this agave vanilla snack cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
