<br />

OMG. Banana Pudding Cake.<br />Thanks to ANTOINETTE FRANKIN, here is the recipe!<br />Banana Pudding Cake</div>
<div style="background-color: #eaeaea; color: grey; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15.36px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
2 sticks butter, softened<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />1 3/4 cups sugar<br />3 eggs + 2 egg whites<br />3 tsp vanilla<br />3 cups all-purpose flour<br />3 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />One 1.34oz box banana pudding mix<br />1 cup milk</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: #eaeaea; color: grey; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15.36px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Filling: Whisk together the following ingredients and refrigerate until assembling cake (~10minutes).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
One 1.34oz box vanilla pudding mix<br />1 1/4 cups milk<br />1 cup Cool Whip (or whipped cream)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
To brush on layers: Mix together the following:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
1 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk<br />1 Tbsp milk</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
You’ll also need:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
2-3 medium ripe bananas<br />3-4 cups Cool Whip for frosting</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Step 1: Make the cake</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prep three 8″ round pans by lining the bottom only with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in eggs and egg whites, one at a time. Beat in vanilla until well combined.<br />In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and pudding mix. Add into wet ingredients in three separate additions, mixing until just combined. Don’t over mix!<br />Stir in milk until combined. Divide batter and pour into pans. Bake 22-25 minutes or until cake is golden and begins to pull away from sides of pans.<br />Allow cake to cool 15 minutes in pan. Loosen and remove from pan. Allow to cool another 1-2 hours on a wire rack.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Step 2: Begin layering</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Level each cake. Place first layer on cake plate. Brush with a little milk mixture.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Line banana slices on top of cake. Spread 1/3-1/2 of the filling mix on top of bananas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Place next cake layer on top of filling. Repeat with milk mix, filling, and final layer.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Step 3: Frost</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
This is the fun part. Frost with Cool Whip and decorate as you wish. I crushed some mini Nilla wafers and spread on top. Then used the wafers along the sides.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Whew! Sounds super complicated, but it was simple to make. You may also want to put some Nilla wafers in between the layers. You know, if you’re feeling extra fancy and decadent.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Very important!!: Store this cake in the fridge!! Lots of perishable ingredients. You've been warned, so I’m off the hook if you don’t refrigerate and get sick.</div>

We set out to create a rich, deeply chocolaty dessert using Sacher torte as the inspiration, giving it our own spin by pairing the chocolate with raspberries. For a rich, fudgy base, we started by baking a flourless chocolate cake in two 9-inch pans, so we could sandwich the two cakes together rather than deal with halving a single delicate cake. But when we tried to pick up the second layer and, later, eat it, the dense cake tore and fell apart. Adding ground nuts gave it the structure it needed, plus a good boost of flavor. The winning approach for our filling was to combine jam with lightly mashed fresh berries for a tangy-sweet mixture that clung to the cake. For the glaze, we kept things simple, melting bittersweet chocolate with heavy cream to create a rich-tasting, glossy ganache that poured smoothly over the cake. And to up the glamour quotient, we dotted fresh raspberries around the top perimeter of the torte and pressed sliced toasted almonds along its sides.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Ingredients:</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine (see note)</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">2 teaspoons vanilla extract</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1 3/4 cups (about 7 ounces) sliced almonds, lightly toasted</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (1 1/4 ounces)</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/2 teaspoon table salt</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">5 large eggs</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">3/4 cup sugar, (5 1/4 ounces) </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus 16 individual berries for garnishing cake</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine (see note)</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Directions:</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">1. FOR THE CAKE Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line bottom of two 9-inch-wide by 2-inch-high round cake pans with parchment paper. Melt chocolate and butter in large heatproof bowl set over saucepan filled with 1 inch simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Stir in vanilla and espresso powder.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">2. Process 3/4 cup almonds in food processor until coarsely chopped, six to eight 1-second pulses; set aside to garnish cake. Process remaining cup almonds until very finely ground, about 45 seconds. Add flour and salt and continue to process until combined, about 15 seconds. Transfer almond-flour mixture to medium bowl. Process eggs in now-empty food processor until lightened in color and almost doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. With processor running, slowly add sugar until thoroughly combined, about 15 seconds. Using whisk, gently fold egg mixture into chocolate mixture until some streaks of egg remain. Sprinkle half almond-flour mixture over chocolate-egg mixture and gently whisk until just combined. Sprinkle in remaining almond-flour mixture and gently whisk until just combined.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">3. Divide batter between cake pans and smooth with rubber spatula. Bake until center is firm and toothpick inserted into center comes out with few moist crumbs attached, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer cakes to wire rack and cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes. Run paring knife around sides of cakes to loosen. Invert cakes onto cardboard rounds cut same size as diameter of cake and remove parchment paper. Using wire rack, reinvert 1 cake so top side faces up; slide back onto cardboard round.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">4. TO ASSEMBLE TORTE Place ½ cup raspberries in medium bowl and coarsely mash with fork. Stir in raspberry jam until just combined. Spread raspberry mixture onto cake layer that is top side up. Top with second cake layer, leaving it bottom side up. Transfer assembled cake, still on cardboard round, to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">5. FOR THE GLAZE Melt chocolate and cream in medium heatproof bowl set over saucepan filled with 1 inch simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and gently whisk until very smooth. Pour glaze onto center of assembled cake. Use offset spatula to spread glaze evenly over top of cake, letting it flow down sides. Spread glaze along sides of cake to coat evenly.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">6. Using fine-mesh strainer, sift reserved almonds to remove any fine bits. Holding bottom of cake on cardboard round with 1 hand, gently press sifted almonds onto cake sides with other hand. Arrange raspberries around circumference. Refrigerate cake, still on rack, until glaze is set, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Transfer cake to serving platter, slice, and serve. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Notes:</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">TO ASSEMBLE TORTE</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">INVERT</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Run paring knife around sides of cake and invert layers onto cardboard rounds.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">REINVERT ONE</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Using wire rack, reinvert one cake so top faces up; slide back onto cardboard round.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">TOP WITH FILLING</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Spread raspberry filling over cake layer with its top side facing up.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">TOP WITH CAKE</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Top with second cake, leaving bottom facing up.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">GLAZE</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">Use offset spatula to evenly spread ganache over top and sides.</span></div>

❋ Recipe: Caramel Pumpkin Italian Cream Cake</div>
<div style="background-color: #eaeaea; color: grey; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15.36px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
❋ INGREDIENTS:<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />2 cups pecan halves<br />2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, divided<br />1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening<br />1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened<br />1 1/2 cups sugar<br />1 cup light brown sugar, packed<br />6 eggs, separated<br />1 1/4 cup pure canned pumpkin<br />1 teaspoon cinnamon<br />1 teaspoon nutmeg<br />2 teaspoons vanilla<br />2 1/2 cups flour<br />1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda<br />3/4 teaspoon baking powder<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1 cup buttermilk</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: #eaeaea; color: grey; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15.36px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
❋ CARAMEL FROSTING:<br />1/2 cup butter<br />1 cup light brown sugar<br />1/4 cup heavy cream<br />1/8 teaspoon fleur de sel or other coarse sea salt<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br />2 cup sifted powdered sugar</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
❋ CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:<br />1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature<br />1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature<br />4 cups powdered sugar<br />1 teaspoon vanilla</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
❋ INSTRUCTIONS:<br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Reserve 8-10 halves for decorating the top, then finely chop the remainder. Set aside 1 cup chopped for the cake batter, then place the remaining chopped pecans in a small bowl. Toast 1 cup coconut in a nonstick skillet over high heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Reserve remaining coconut for cake batter. Place the toasted coconut in the bowl with the pecans and mix. Set aside.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Cream the shortening, butter, sugar, and 1 cup light brown sugar together until fluffy on medium speed. Add egg yolks, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well mixed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir 1 cup reserved (untoasted) coconut and the reserved 1 cup chopped pecans.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Beat the egg whites until stiff in a medium bowl. Gently fold into batter. Divide the batter equally among 3 (9-inch round) cake pans that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
When cakes are completely cool, make the caramel frosting. Place 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup heavy cream and the fleur de sel in a medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to rapid boil and boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar with a handmixer on medium speed until mixture is thick and spreadable. Immediately spread half of the frosting on the first cake layer that has been placed on cake plate or cardboard cake round, bottom side up (flat side up). Place the second layer on top, bottom up, and spread the remaining frosting to the edges. Place the third layer on top, bottom side up.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Make the cream cheese frosting. Beat the butter and cream cheese until creamy and fluffy with the whisk attachment on high speed. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth. Beat in vanilla. Frost the outside and top of cake with frosting. Carefully press the reserved coconut-pecan mixture into the sides of cake, then place pecan halves on top for decoration.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
YUMMY! Enjoy!</div>

<div>
<strong>makes one large 9 x 13" sized sheet cake<br /><br />1 (12 ounce) can Coke (or other cola), divided<br />2 (4 ounces each) sticks unsalted butter (each stick = 1/2 cup), divided, at room temperature<br />1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate<br />1 cup miniature marshmallows (measured by volume not weight)<br />1/2 cup shortening (I used butter flavor Crisco) (measured by volume)<br />1/2 cup canola oil or sunflower oil<br />3 tsp vanilla extract, divided<br />2 cups granulated white sugar or caster sugar<br />2 large eggs<br />3/4 cup milk (I used 2% fat)*<br />3 Tbsp powdered buttermilk*<br />1 tsp baking soda<br />1 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />2 1/3 cups White Lily all-purpose flour<br />1 1/4 cups unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder, divided<br />1/4 cup chocolate syrup (I used Fox's U-Bet)<br />2 cups powdered sugar or icing sugar<br /><br />Before you begin, open your oven and arrange the baking racks so that one of them is set near the top, making sure there is plenty of room on that top shelf for your pan and for the cake to rise a bit. Normally cakes are baked in the center of the oven, but not this one. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13" rectangular sheet cake pan.<span style="font-style: italic;">You will also need a small saucepan, a whisk, an electric mixer, and 3 mixing bowls.</span><br /><br />Measure out just 1 cup of Coke and just 1 stick of the butter and place along with the square of semisweet chocolate into a small saucepan. Set the remaining cola aside for now, and place the other stick of butter in a medium mixing bowl, setting it aside to come to room temperature.<br /><br />Meanwhile, bring the mixture in your saucepan to a boil, stirring with a whisk or slotted spoon often. As soon as it boils, add the mini marshmallows, stir to coat, lowering the heat a bit to prevent a boil-over. Continue to stir until everything has fully melted and blended together, and there are no longer any white streaks remaining from the marshmallows. It should look shiny and wet, like unset fudge. Set this fudge mixture aside to cool a bit (I let mine sit for about 5 minutes, then poured it into a plastic bowl and popped it into the fridge for about another 5 minutes while I continued with the next step).<br /><br />In a large mixing bowl combine the shortening, oil, and just 2 tsp of the vanilla. Add the granulated sugar and mix well. Add in both eggs and the milk and beat well, using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy. Scrape any batter that is creeping up the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as needed.<br /><br />In yet another mixing bowl (last one I promise!), combine the buttermilk powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set a mesh strainer/sieve over the top of the bowl and add the flour, shaking the strainer so that the flour sifts down into the bowl. If you happen to have a flour sifter, you can use that instead, but a mesh strainer works just fine. Measure out just 3/4 cup of the unsweetened cocoa powder and sift that through the sieve as well. Remove the sieve and give the mixture a quick stir.<br /><br />Add <span style="font-style: italic;">half</span> of the flour mixture into the shortening & egg mixture, beating until smooth.<br /><br />Remember your fudge mixture you have cooling? Give that a quick stir and then add just a bit of it to the shortening mixture and beat well. Continue adding the fudge in small amounts until all of it has been beaten in and well combined. The reason you are adding it slowly is to prevent the still somewhat warm mixture from scrambling your eggs.<br /><br />Add the other half of the flour mixture now, mixing until combined and then for another 4 minutes. Set a timer. You are trying to incorporate air into your batter, so no skimping on the time here. Your batter should be thick and smooth.<br /><br />Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan and pop it into the preheated 350 F oven to bake on the TOP rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center of the cake comes out with no streaks on it. Do not overbake! Set the cake onto a cooling rack to cool somewhat. You will still want it to be a bit warm when you add the fudge icing, but wait long enough for it to no longer be so very hot that your icing just melts completely upon contact. Before you walk away, take your toothpick and poke a bunch of holes all over the surface of the cake.<br /><br />Remember the bowl with the stick of butter in it from way back in the beginning? By now it should be nice and soft. Go grab the rest of that can of coke and measure out about 1/3 cup. Add that to the butter, along with 1 tsp vanilla, and the remaining 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Add the chocolate syrup and mix well until everything is smooth. Now add in 1 cup of the powdered sugar and blend well, then add the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar. The icing should be shiny, smooth, and a bit gloopy, not stiff. It should not be watery, but more like the consistency of thick hot fudge sauce. If it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar, or if it seems a bit too dry, add a little more cola.<br /><br />Pour this entire mixture over the warm cake and spread evenly. Allow this to sit long enough to set up a bit, about 20-30 minutes, roughly. Some of the fudgy icing will ooze into your toothpick holes and you need to give it time to do that. The surface will also take on a sheen and harden ever so slightly. Serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side while the cake is still a little warm, if desired.<br /><br />*NOTE: If you don't have buttermilk powder, you may instead use 3/4 cup buttermilk instead of the milk and buttermilk powder. Or, you can make a buttermilk substitute by placing 2 tsp. lemon juice into a measuring cup, then adding enough milk to fill 3/4 cup, and then allowing that to sit for 5 minutes to thicken. You will not need to make any adjustments to the dry ingredients. </strong><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
