QUEEN ANNE'S LACE CAKE

This cake is very good! My whole family gets together for dinner at our parent's house every Sunday and I always bring a dessert. This is my sister and brother-in-law's favorite! I got the recipe out of a cookbook I bought on QVC. "Best of the Best from QVC Cookbook". This recipe was submitted by Vivian C. Ferguson. The recipe calls for the chocolate to be shaved , but that's too much work for me. I just grind up the chocolate in my food processor.

1 (12 ounce) container whipped topping

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, making your cake lighter and more tender.
Add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
Sift the flour before adding it to the batter: This will help remove any lumps and ensure that the flour is evenly distributed.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Queen Anne cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its light and fluffy texture, delicate flavor, and customizable frosting, it's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, give this recipe a try and enjoy a taste of history.
