Amalgamation Cake (Using a Cake Mix) image

I ate this cake while visiting a friend who used to live in Florence Al. She got the recipe from a co-worker of hers, She hates to share recipes, but I was persistant. (Hey is that like obnoxious?) Fantastic cake, does not even randomly taste like it started with a cake mix. Don't substitute any ingredients, I tried and failed. You can use any white frosting you like.

PANDAN CHIFFON CAKE



Pandan Chiffon Cake image

The pandan cake recipe, adapted from my Vietnamese grandmother's favorite homemade cake, replaces zingy lemon with fragrant pandan.

Provided by Kat Lieu

Yield Makes 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

About ⅓ cup (75 g) canola or vegetable oil
About ¾ cup (100 g) cake flour, sifted
About ⅓ cup (75 g) coconut milk (or any milk)
6 egg yolks
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. green pandan extract
2 Tbsp. (26 g) granulated sugar
6 egg whites, room temperature
2 tsp. lemon juice
⅔ cup (80 g) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and place a rack in the center.
  • Make the yolk batter. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, until it reaches about 176°F. Remove from heat. Add the cake flour and whisk until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, cover, and cool for a few minutes. Mix in the coconut milk. Add the egg yolks, baking powder, pandan extract, and sugar and whisk until combined and smooth. Set aside.
  • Make the firm peaks meringue. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat room-temperature egg whites and a stabilizing acid (like vinegar, cream of tartar, or lemon juice) on medium-high speed until foamy and opaque, a few minutes. Lower the speed to add the sugar in increments. Turn the speed back to medium-high. For firm (or medium) peaks, continue to beat the meringue until the peak holds its shape better. When you flip the whisk upside down this time, the peak, while more distinct, will still droop and fold back on itself.
  • Make the final batter. Add one-fourth of the meringue to the yolk batter. Gently whisk until incorporated. Add another fourth of the meringue to the yolk batter and whisk until incorporated. Then pour all the batter into the bowl with the remaining meringue. Use a flexible spatula to gently fold the meringue into the batter, until homogenous, thick, and creamy. There should be no white streaks remaining in the batter. If stubborn lumps of meringue remain, use a whisk to gently mix them into the final batter.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased 9-inch tube pan. Tap the pan against the counter a few times. Smooth out the top of the batter with the whisk.
  • Spray a large sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray and place it over the top of the pan. Bake the cake for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the aluminum foil. Reduce the temperature to 310°F. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Insert a bamboo stick into the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. From a height of about 3 inches above the counter, drop the cake pan down to shock the cake. Repeat two more times.
  • Invert the pan and place the tube on a lidded jar or an inverted cup. Cool completely before removing the cake from the pan. Be patient as this can take a few hours. Run a knife gently along the edges where the cake adheres to the tube pan to remove the cake.

SMOKED COCONUT CAKE



Smoked Coconut Cake image

This fragrant smoked coconut cake is dense and chewy inside and crisp on the top. Make it on your backyard smoker as dessert for your next bbq.

Provided by Leela Punyaratabandhu

Yield Makes sixteen 2-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1⁄2 tsp. jasmine extract, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3½ cups shredded unsweetened dried coconut

Steps:

  • Set a smoker to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the sugar, eggs, and egg whites on high speed until pale and thick enough to form a ribbon when you lift the beater and let the mixture fall back on itself. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jasmine extract, salt, and flour, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Stir in the coconut flakes just until evenly distributed (the batter will be thick). Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a moistened rubber spatula.
  • When the smoker reaches the target temperature and the smoke runs clear, put the pan directly on the grate, close the lid, and bake until a toothpick or the tip of a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove from the smoker and let cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve. The bars can kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Measuring ingredients accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for precise results, especially for baking.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Bring ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend more smoothly and evenly.
  • Creaming butter and sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy incorporates air, which makes cakes lighter and spongier.
  • Gradually adding dry ingredients: Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Proper baking temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking. Baking at a lower temperature for a longer time can result in a denser cake.
  • Cooling cakes completely: Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting or decorating. This helps the cake set properly and prevents the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Amalgamation cakes offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures, catering to diverse taste preferences. With careful attention to ingredient measurements, creaming techniques, and baking temperatures, you can create moist, fluffy, and flavorful cakes that impress your friends and family. Experiment with different flavor combinations, frosting options, and decorations to personalize your amalgamation cake and make it a centerpiece of your special occasions.
