Question by Jennifer K: Does anyone have a cake recipe that adds jello mix to create different colored layers?
I originally found the recipe in an American Girl magazine. I think you made a white cake, separated into bowls and then added dry jello mix to create the different colors.

lemon cake recipe:

Scratch Cakes

Question by odosa95: Can someone give me a lemon cake recipe without zest or lemon extract?
im making lemon cake for new years day and i dont know how to zest a lemon and dont know where they sell lemon zest. Im making it for a family member whos leaving tomorrow .

Best answer:

Answer by Remy
Zesting a lemon in ridiculously easy and any lemon cake recipe is going to require it in some form. The zest is basically the bright yellow part of the rind. First, wash and scrub it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well. Then (assuming you don’t have a zester), take a grater or peeler and carefully take off just the bright outer layer of the skin. If your recipe calls for grated lemon zest, it’s even easier. Just use the finest side to grate the lemon. Don’t go too far in one spot though. The white part of the skin in bitter.

carrot cake recipe best:

Scratch Cakes

Question by Happy: PLEASE help me find the best, most moist, delicious carrot cake recipe! *10 POINTS!*?
I’d like to make a carrot cake (or carrot cake cupcakes), and I’m having a lot of trouble finding a good recipe online. Can anyone offer any suggestions, preferably from a recipe that YOU have made before, that way I know how it will turn out? Also, if anyone could find the Cheesecake Factory’s Carrot Cake recipe (NOTE: not the carrotCHEESEcake recipe, which I have found online), that would be absolutely awesome!

I notice that a lot of them have raisins and crushed pineapple in there. Is that the normal for carrot cakes? Will it taste like pineapple? If I do go with a recipe that has pineapple in it, should I strain it, or leave it in some of the packing liquid (it’s not syrup, it’s natural juice)?

Thank you SOOOO much! If I decide to go w/ your recipe, you get the 10 points for best answer!

bundt cake recipes:

Scratch Cakes

Question by kimmykim: What are some good bundt cake recipes?
My kids had an idea to make bundt cakes for teachers this year. We dont want to make all of them the same so we are looking for different ideas. They want the ones with glaze on top. Those make the best looking cakes according to my kids. Something pretty simple so that my children, ages 13, 11, and 8 can get in the kitchen and help me make. Also, what is the best way to gift this without going and buying a load of plastic cake plates.

Best answer:

Answer by ladydi
With the recipe I’m going to give you for my cake…wrapping isn’t a problem…it’s absolutely delicious and makes a nice presentation….

another idea is to cut cakes up in sections to give them a selection of cakes and wrap and put in small gift baskets or tins from dollar store with a big ribbon wrapped around it. If there are teachers aides…remember them by giving them a whisk filled with red and green Hershey kisses all tucked into it..wrap in clear cello wrap and put a ribbon bow and a sign saying “We whisk you a Merry Kiss-mas”.

Here’s my recipe for the best tasting cinnamon coffee cake :
Oven 350^

2 cups flour

GREASE Bundt pan–dust w/flour, add batter

NOW make swirl:
1 TAB. warm water
2 TAB. melted butter
1 tsp. instant coffee
3 tsp. sugar

DRIZZLE all over the batter>>use butter knife to swirl into batter carefully

NOW make topping to add on top of that:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 TAB. instant coffee……mix this into coarse crumbs and sprinkle on top of batter

BAKE 40 min >>check at 35 min. FOR nice presentation, when cooled and on plate, dust with powdered sugar and fill “hole” with vanilla coffee beans for wonderful aroma!!
