Could you switch out half of the oil for Applesauce? I usually do, it makes for a great tasting cake.

Have never tried that, will consider it next time.

So cake is baked and i am going to freeze it overnight to make frosting it easier. I looked up homemade fondant, think i will try it, but need to buy cornsyrup first.

Those look great. My cakes always have a pointy raised center, but yours are perfect and look flat on the tops. Very well done. Looking forward to seeing those beauties decorated.

But sunflour, those are the bits you saw of and eat with your cup of tea.
Those are the bakers paycheck.

Try to only grease the bottom and not the sides of the pan, that is what my home ec teacher taught us to do to get flat cakes

Lol or eat them, because you really should test the cake before serving it to others

Thanks for the tip - I have always greased and floured the bottoms and sides of the pan.

Never thought about just shaving the peaks off to taste

Careful what you wish for. Nothing strikes fear into my kids like the words "I kind of experimented" lol

I stumbled upon this thread and I'm impressed by that list compiled in the first post. I think I may have to try a few. Meanwhile, I'll share a link to a recipe that I recently brought to a bbq with some other BYC members in my state. They were a big hit and usually are wherever I bring them. Be warned- They are very, very sweet and addictive. They are the Knock You Naked Brownies by Ree Drummond on the Food Network.

For the bbq, I 86'd the pecans in case anyone has tree nut allergies. I also used less caramel and 86'd the powdered sugar also. JIC they may be too sweet for some folks. They're awesome either way. Enjoy!

you'r impressed...this is my guilty pleasures page...
wife and I are "eating healthy" as she puts it. I put it this way, she goes on a diet and I get bushwhacked to go on a diet with her
Sooo, I read stuff on her and dream....sad but true. Ah for the days gone by of my wife being chunky and happy and I eat whatever can't outrun me...
