MOM'S SHERRY CAKE



Mom's Sherry Cake image

Simple, but wonderful!! This was my favorite cake that Mom would make when I was little... for that matter, since I wasn't really that fond of cake, it's probably the only reason I ever ate any. Whenever I make this for gatherings, everybody asks for the recipe... and then begs me to make it for the next gathering, too. :)

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup cream sherry
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/2-1 cup powdered sugar
milk

Steps:

  • (This recipe has three separate portions to combine together: the cake, the cinnamon mixture, and the frosting.) Combine cake ingredients and mix for 5 minutes in mixer on medium speed.
  • Combine cinnamon mixture.
  • Butter the sides and bottom of Bundt or angel food tin.
  • Sprinkle part of cinnamon mixture into pan covering sides and bottom.
  • Then pour cake batter into pan in three alternating layers with cinnamon mixture, ending with cinnamon mixture.
  • Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, checking to make sure the sugar on the outside of the cake does not burn.
  • Let cool; place on serving plate.
  • Mix together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a "drizzly" consistency of frosting, then drizzle over the sides (both inside and outsides).
  • Let frosting set before serving.
  • Note: if your oven runs hot, you might want to try baking for 35 minutes to begin with, then remove cake from oven and taste-check a portion of the cake which doesn't show easily (such as the inner ring) to make sure the sugar coating isn't burning and the cake isn't drying out. Thank you, Michelle S., for the input that prompted me to edit the recipe for this! :).

SPICED SHERRY CAKE

My mother received this recipe from a friend years ago when fluted tube pans first became popular. The cake lasts a few days in the refrigerator, if you don't eat it all right away. I personally love to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. -Debbie Pelletier, Jupiter, Florida

BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH SHERRY GLAZE



Birthday Cake With Sherry Glaze image

If you are a reluctant baker and make only one cake a year, let it be a birthday cake for someone you love. There is so little effort and so much glory to the project. A two-layer cake is simple to produce, but if even that seems daunting, no complaints will arise from a golden Bundt cake. In our times, the simple fact of a homemade cake is enough to impress. Drizzling a liquid glaze over the cake is much easier than frosting, just as pretty, and does not require alarming specialty gadgets such as an "offset spatula."

  • 2. MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH THE FUGDE FROSTING FILLING HELP MAKE THIS CAKE BE SUPER MOIST AND TASTE LIKE FUDGE THAT HAS CAKE INTEGRATED INTO IT. IT DOES NOT REALLY TASTE AT ALL LIKE CAKE ...BUT FUDGE. DO NOT LET THE FUDGE "SET" BEFORE PUTTING ON THE CAKE. THAT IS REALLY THE MAJOR SECRET.

ALMOND BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH SHERRY-LEMON BUTTERCREAM



Almond Birthday Cake With Sherry-Lemon Buttercream image

This is a layer cake with sophisticated flavors, fit for a grown-up's birthday celebration but sure to be devoured by party guests of all ages. The cake itself is made with finely ground almonds, sour cream and a touch of lemon zest. The frosting is buttercream with cinnamon for spice and yet more zest. When you're making the frosting, be sure to let the egg white mixture cool before adding the butter; the butter should not melt when it meets the whites, which would make for a greasy frosting. What you want is for the buttercream to be smooth and fluffy, an invitation to slice into the cake and take that first heavenly bite.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature; more for greasing pans
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
Large pinch salt
3/4 pound unsalted butter 3 sticks, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fino (dry) sherry
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8-inch by 2-inch-deep round cake pans and line bottoms with parchment or waxed paper. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, 1/4 cup sour cream, vanilla and lemon zest.
  • In bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the cake flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat in butter and remaining 3/4 cup sour cream until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly beat in the egg mixture until fully combined.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake layer comes out clean. Let cake layers cool in pans on wire racks for 15 minutes, then invert onto racks and peel off paper. Let cool completely on racks.
  • While cakes cool, make frosting: In a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water (or use a double boiler), whisk egg whites, sugar and salt until sugar is completely melted (130 to 140 degrees on a candy thermometer), 3 to 4 minutes. Remove egg whites from heat; beat mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely cooled and thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Beat in the butter, a little at a time, until frosting is smooth and fluffy. Beat in the sherry, lemon zest and cinnamon.
  • To frost cake, place 1 layer on a cake plate, rounded side down, trimming if necessary so it lies flat. Spread with a third of the frosting, top with second layer and frost remainder of cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of sherry: Dry sherry, also known as Fino or Manzanilla, is the traditional choice for sherry cake. It has a light, nutty flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients in the cake.
  • Use a good quality butter: The butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the cake. Look for a butter that is at least 82% butterfat.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter: This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and that the cake doesn't have any lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sherry cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you prefer a simple cake or one that is more decadent, there is a sherry cake recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give sherry cake a try.
