Simple Cake Recipe
Simple cake & whipped topping from scratch recipe?
Don’t want any frills. Just want a nice simple Cake Recipe. Prefer yellow, white or Chocolate. No pound or angel food pls.
And a simple to make whipped (heavy whipping cream) cake frosting.
No coconuts, fruit, nothing like that. Just The Cake and the frosting.
If anyone has any great tasting recipes then I hope you share them with me 
It would be greatly appreciated.
FROM SCRATCH….. seriously, if I wanted a box cake, why would I have even bothered asking.
This is a couple of Cake Recipes from my personal files. I have used these for many years…they are easy to make and don’t require a lot of ingredients.

and melted chocolate. mix on low.
combine dry ingredients and add to batter in 3 sections, alternating with the ice water.
Bake at 350º
YELLOW CAKE
This recipe is a good all-purpose recipe. It is easy and fast to make. It does not have a real distinct flavor so it goes well with all icings and fillings. It has a nice even texture. It uses only basic ingredients which everyone has on their shelves.
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well Add all remaining cake ingredients. Beat at low speed for 30 seconds. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
For my 11×8 sheet pan, I bake it for 35 to 40 minutes
WHIPPED CREAM
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Mix the cream and vanilla in the mixer bowl.
Add the powdered sugar
Whip the mixture with an electric hand mixer until raised peaks form in it and hold their shape. It should take about four minutes (or much longer if using a manual hand mixer or whisk).
Serve over your dessert and enjoy!

Russian Tea Cake $49.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Russian tea cake is a kind of pastry, commonly eaten around Christmas in both Russia and the United States. It is a form of jumble, a pastry common in Middle Ages England. They are also known as Mexican wedding cakes (or cookies) and butterballs. Russian tea cakes have a relatively simple recipe, generally comprised entirely of ground nuts, flour and water or, more commonly, butter. After baking, they are coated in powdered sugar while still hot, then again once the cookie has cooled. Russian tea cakes appeared in Russia in the 18th century, literally as a confection used in a tea-sharing ceremony. By the 20th century, they were a part of wedding and Christmas traditions in the U.S., by their popular “Russian tea” nomenclature. The term “Mexican wedding cake” seems to have emerged in the U.S. in the 1950s, possibly a result of strained relations with the Soviet Union. |
