Carameldrizzleforbundtcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the espresso powder and 1/4 cup hot water in a medium bowl until the espresso powder completely dissolves. Add 3/4 cup of the dulce de leche and stir until well combined.
• Beat 3 cups of the heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed to medium peaks, about 2 minutes. Add the espresso and dulce de leche mixture to the cream and beat to very stiff peaks, about 1 minute more.
• Arrange the chocolate wafer cookies to make a 9 1/2-by-4-inch rectangle directly in the center of a large, flat serving platter (breaking up 1 of the cookies to fill in any gaps). Spread 1/4 cup of the espresso-dulce de leche cream on top of the cookies. Lay 8 ladyfingers flat across this cream layer and then spread a third of the remaining cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers. Repeat this process 2 more times with the remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture. Use an offset spatula to spread the top layer of cream mixture evenly over the top and down the sides to cover the icebox cake completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Once completely chilled, remove the plastic wrap from the cake. Beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer (or by hand) to medium peaks. Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Microwave the remaining dulce de leche in a small microwave-safe bowl until it is loose enough to drizzle. Drizzle evenly on top of the cake, then sprinkle with the crushed espresso beans.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan with shortening; lightly flour.
• In large bowl, beat 3 cups sugar and 1 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and almond extract. Alternately add flour, about 1 cup at a time, and whipping cream, about 1/3 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted halfway between side and center of pan comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 8- or 10-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the sugar over medium heat until amber colored, about 6 minutes, shaking pan occasionally (do not stir). Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, heat remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1/2 cup butter and the milk to boiling over medium-high heat. Gradually stir in caramelized sugar with whisk; cook and stir to 232°F. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Using offset spatula and working quickly, frost cake (frosting will harden as it cools). Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Caramel Sauce: Put 1 cup of the sugar in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Leave undisturbed until the sugar begins to melt and darken.
• Gently shake the pan to distribute the sugar and to keep the melted sugar from burning.
• When all the sugar has melted and the caramel is very dark amber, remove from the heat.
• Slowly add 2 cups of the cream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• Be careful, as the caramel tends to boil upwards.
• Don't worry if the caramel hardens; it will melt as the sauce boils.
• Return the pan to the heat and keep the sauce at a gentle boil.
• Stir constantly until the sauce is smooth and has boiled about five minutes.
• Remove from the heat and set aside for at least 30 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce is barely warm to the touch.
• Measure one cup of the caramel to add to the cake batter and refrigerate the rest.
• Cake: Heat the oven to 325 degrees F and grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
• With an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
• Mix in the eggs, one at a time, waiting until each egg is incorporated before adding the next.
• Use a large spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the creamed butter, sugar, and eggs alternately with the reserved cup of caramel, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Fold in the ingredients gently but thoroughly.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a skewer comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Set on a rack for about 10 minutes and then unmold and cool completely on the rack.
• Bring the rest of the caramel sauce to room temperature.
• When the cake is cool, glaze it by drizzling half of the remaining caramel sauce over the top.
• Whip the remaining one cup of cream until it holds firm peaks.
• Fold in the last third of the caramel gently, leaving streaks visible.
• Serve with the cake.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream, brown sugar and vanilla just until blended. Refrigerate, covered, 20 minutes. Beat until stiff peaks form., In a 4-qt. glass bowl, layer one-third of each of the following: cake cubes, whipped cream and toffee bits. Repeat layers twice. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans.
• Combine flour, canola oil, white sugar, buttermilk, eggs, vinegar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Mix until evenly distributed, 2 to 5 minutes. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
• Combine sweetened condensed milk, dark brown sugar, butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly until frosting is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool, about 5 minutes.
• Remove cooled cakes from pans. Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides.

Steps:

• Crust:
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place the walnuts in a cake or pie pan and toast for 12 minutes, stirring the pan after 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Spray the inside of the springform pan with nonstick baking spray. Wrap heavy-duty aluminum foil tightly around the bottom of the pan to prevent water from seeping in as it bakes in a water bath.
• Pulse the walnuts and brown sugar in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade until the walnuts are finely ground, about 1 minute. Pour the butter through the feed tube and pulse until the mixture begins to hold together in moist clumps. Transfer the mixture to the springform pan and press the crust evenly onto the bottom.
• Cheesecake:
• Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the flat beater attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugars and beat together well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla then add the sour cream and blend completely.
• Pour 1/ 2 of batter into the prepared pan. Then pour 1/ 2 of the caramel sauce over the batter. Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to swirl together. Repeat once more with the remaining batter and sauce.
• Place the springform pan into a larger cake pan or a roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the bottom pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake the cake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the cake puffs and the top is light golden. Remove the pans from the oven and transfer the springform pan to a cooling rack to cool completely. Cover the top of the cheesecake with waxed paper and tightly wrap with aluminum foil then chill for at least 8 hours. Release the clip on the side of the springform pan and gently pull the sides away from the bottom.
• Serve the cheesecake at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease three 9-inch-round cake pans.
• Line bottoms with waxed paper. Grease paper, and flour insides of pans.
• Combine flour and baking powder in bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar in another bowl at medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, beating until smooth.
• At low speed, alternately beat in four mixture and milk.
• Beat in vanilla.
• Scrape into prepared pans, dividing evenly.
• Bake in 350-degree oven 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes.
• Remove cakes from pans and cool completely on racks.
• Meanwhile, prepare icing. *NOTE: The recipe states that "although the amount of icing seems small, it is enough to frost the cake. If you wish, the recipe may be doubled." I've found this to be true, but I recommend that you either double it or make a batch & a half, which is what I do.
• Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add brown sugar and milk Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Remove from heat. Cool.
• Beat confectioners' sugar into milk mixture until smooth.
• Frost and stack cake layers on cake plate, spreading 1/3 cup icing between each layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining icing.
