Hobo Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the Cake: Butter the jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper; then butter the paper to assure release.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer.
• In the bowl from a standing mixer, combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, vanilla in a bowl and whisk briefly. Set the bowl over the simmering water and stir until warm and the sugar looks dissolved. Attach the bowl to the standing mixer fitted with a whisk, and whip until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking powder 3 times.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and, while folding the egg mixture, sift in the flour mixture, little by little, until incorporated. Drizzle in the clarified butter, while folding the batter.
• Immediately pour the batter into the prepared pans dividing equally and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake until lightly browned and it starts to pull away from the edges of the pan, about 14 to 16 minutes.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let sit in the pan for 1 minute. Run a knife along the edge to release the cake then flip it out onto parchment paper. Brush the paper (the one you lined the pan with) with water and let soak for 2 minutes. Peel it off the cake. Trim dry edges from the cake. Let cool covered with plastic wrap.
• To make the Filling: In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the sugar and butter and mix on low speed until well blended; then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream for spreading consistency, if needed.
• Spread the sponge cakes with a thin layer of the filling, leaving a 1/4-inch space at the far edge. Roll the cake tightly on the long side until you have rolled a 1 1/2-inch thick log. Cut the log off from the remaining sheet of cake and place seam side-down. Repeat with remaining cake. Chill the logs for 30 minutes; then cut into 2 1/2-inch sections.
• To make the Glaze: Melt the 2 ingredients together in the top of a double boiler or a bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. One at a time, gently drop the cake rolls into the hot chocolate. Lift out with a fork and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place on the cookie sheet and let set at room temperature until the coating is firm, about 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake as directed on the package for a 9 x 13 inch pan. Cool completely.
• Combine flour and milk in saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Cool completely. Cream 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup margarine, and shortening. Add cooled milk mixture, and beat well. Spread over cake. Refrigerate.
• In a small bowl, beat egg. Stir in vanilla, melted chocolate, hot water, confectioner's sugar, and 1/2 cup margarine. Pour over second layer. Refrigerate.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, water, shortening, and raisins and boil for 5 minutes.
• Cool mixture You can put into refrigerator until cooled.
• Dissolve the baking into a small mixture that was prepared above. Then add to the cooled mixture. Next, add all dry ingredients and mix well.
• Put into a well greased tube pan and bake for 1 hour at 350°.
• NOTE: You can add nuts and dried fruits for a variety taste. Great when sliced warm and drizzled with honey or maple syrup.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage. If desired, drain the fat.
• Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until tender, then set aside in a separate bowl.
• In the same skillet, add the oil and hash browns over medium-high heat and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Once golden brown, add the eggs, sausage and the mushroom mixture. Scramble together until desired consistency and top with the Cheddar.
• Cover with a lid until the cheese melts and serve.

Steps:

• Make 4 patties out of ground chuck.
• Place patty in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil. (make foil big enough to come back up to the middle of the patty and to go around the veggies).
• Sprinkle with garlic salt or garlic powder and pepper.
• Stack veggies on top of burger patty, starting with potatoes.
• Follow by onion slices.
• Follow with carrots and green beans.
• Pull foil up to middle and gather at the top and twist closed. (try to make sure no areas are open on the side for easier clean-up).
• Place in 375°F oven on cookie sheet or directly on oven racks if you are certain, all areas are closed up for 1 hour or until patties are cooked through.
• Once cooked, open foil packet and sprinkle cheese on top.
• Leaving foil packet open, place back in oven long enough to just melt the cheese.
• No need for sides, the whole meal is in the packet!
• Can be cooked on the BBQ grill or campfire also.
