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.

AMALGAMATION CAKE W/FROSTING-ANNETTE'S



Amalgamation Cake w/Frosting-Annette's image

As with so many of my recipes, this is one I had not yet posted when another member asked if anyone had a recipe for it. I thought I'd get it posted quick so she could have the link. I haven't made this for along time but it's something I used to make with my grandma. She is who I got the recipe from. I am not a coconut eater so always had mine without frosting since it is a frosting much like that of a German chocolate cake frosting. My grandma has been gone for years now, perhaps that is why this cake has not been made in along time. It was always "our" cake to make. Recipe from grandma.

CAKE MIX
3/4 cup(s) butter
1 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 cup(s) blackberry jam
1/2 cup(s) raisins, ground
1/2 cup(s) pecans, chopped
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) allspice
1/2 cup(s) buttermilk
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
2 cup(s) plain flour
8 - egg whites (yolks go into frosting)
FROSTING
8 - egg yolks
1/4 cup(s) butter
1 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) cream
1 cup(s) coconut
1 cup(s) raisins
1 cup(s) pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • ****CAKE****Preheat oven to 350°. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the jam and buttermilk.
  • In separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and raisins. Slowly add to mixture. Stir in pecans.
  • In a clean second bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Take a cup or so of the beaten whites and whisk it into the batter. Fold the remaining beaten whites into the batter.
  • Divide the batter between three 8 or 9 inch prepared pans. Bake until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Invert the cake layers onto a rack to cool completely.
  • ****FROSTING****In a double broiler, add butter, sugar, egg yolks and cream. Stir until mixture gets thick enough to spread, about 15 minutes. If it gets too thick, add more cream. Remove from heat and stir in raisins, pecans and coconut.
  • Frost cooled cakes between layers and over top. Enjoy! ***Note*** It can take up to 24 hours for the filling/frosting to set so you may have to keep putting it back up on the cake from time to time. Cake can be kept in refrigerator and/or freezer too***

Tips:

  • Choose the right cake mix. For best results, use a white or yellow cake mix. You can also use a chocolate cake mix, but be sure to adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven can affect the texture and flavor of the cake. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly and will prevent it from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings. You can top your amalgamation cake with a variety of different ingredients, such as buttercream frosting, chocolate ganache, or fresh fruit. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Amalgamation cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With so many different flavor combinations to choose from, there is sure to be an amalgamation cake that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give amalgamation cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
