Provided by Food Network

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 (9-inch) 3-layer cake; 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 large eggs
Nonstick baking spray
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour (sift before measuring)
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or whole milk, at room temperature
3/4 cup safflower oil or canola oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons, plus 1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup half-n-half or whole milk
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 pounds unsalted butter (5 sticks), at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and yolks in a small bowl. Let stand at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line the bottom of 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  • Sift together the sifted flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar. If there are any large clumps of brown sugar, break them up with a spoon. Stir, then set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites to soft peaks with an electric mixer. With the mixer running, slowly add 1/4 cup sugar and continue to whip to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks, half-and-half, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter a third at a time. Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool.
  • For the frosting: Place 4 tablespoons of water in a small bowl or ramekin. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top, making sure the gelatin is moistened. Let stand 5 minutes to bloom.
  • In the meantime, place the brown sugar, half-n-half, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Stir. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat to cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the butter in a standing mixer until fluffy. Add the cooled gelatin mixture. Whip until thickened to a creamy frosting. This will look like a curdled hot mess but keep whipping and in 10 to 15 minutes it will become a beautiful buttercream. Mix in the vanilla.
  • For the butterscotch sauce:
  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low to medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Whisk until incorporated. Return the pan to low heat and cook for 10 minutes without stirring, until slightly thickened. Remove pan from the heat and add the vanilla. Stir. Let cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Fill and frost the cooled cakes, drizzling the butterscotch sauce between the cake layers and on top of the frosting, and on top of cake.

ANGEL CAKE



Angel cake image

Treat guests to this colourful angel cake with decorative fondant icing. It will go down well with a cuppa for afternoon tea

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

50g unsalted butter plus extra for the tin
150g caster sugar
4 large eggs
150g plain flour, sieved
a drop each of pink and yellow food colouring
a drop each of lemon and raspberry extract
100g butter, softened
200g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
½ tbsp milk
200g fondant icing sugar
pink food colouring

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter a 25 x 20cm baking tin, and line the base with baking parchment. Stack a sheet of baking parchment over a sheet of foil, then fold in half so the parchment is facing out. Use this to divide the tin into three sections crosswise, each about 8cm wide.
  • Melt the butter, remove from the heat and set aside. Put the sugar and eggs in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Beat using an electric whisk until really thick and pale, about 4-5 mins.
  • Add a fifth of the mixture to the melted butter and mix to combine. Pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, and carefully fold in along with the flour. Divide the mixture between three bowls. Leave one bowl of batter plain, then fold a drop each of pink food colouring and raspberry extract into the second bowl, and a drop each of yellow food colouring and lemon extract into the third bowl.
  • Carefully pour one of the batters into each of the three sections in the prepared tin. Bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through, or a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then carefully transfer the three cakes to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  • To make the buttercream, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk together for 5 mins with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. To assemble the cake, put the plain sponge on a board and spread with half the buttercream. Top with the raspberry sponge, then spread with the remaining buttercream and top with the lemon sponge. Trim the sides so they're straight, even and neat.
  • To make the fondant icing, sift the sugar into a bowl and mix with 1½-3 tbsp water until you have a thick, droppable icing. Transfer a quarter of the icing to a second bowl, and mix in a drop of pink food colouring. Transfer the pink icing to a piping bag.
  • Spread the plain fondant icing over the top of the lemon sponge, making sure it doesn't drip down the sides. Pipe thin lines of pink icing on top across the width of the cake, space apart. Drag a cocktail stick through the lines lengthways to create a marbled effect. Leave to set slightly, then slice the cake into six even rectangles.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch Angel Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, sweet butterscotch flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
