Lost And Found Dads Sinner And Saint Birthday Cake Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour, mixed spice and xylitol.
• Add orange juice, oil and vanilla; stir to combine.
• NOTE.
• Batter will be very thick, but would suggest you taste and if you think the batter is "way" too thick, than add a little bit more orange juice.
• Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350F).
• In a spring form pan, butter and flour (like Grandma used to do lol); shaking excess flour from the pan too!
• Add batter to spring form pan.
• Bake until golden brown and skewer comes out clean.
• Remove from oven; let cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove spring form and continue to fully cool on a wire rack.
• Dust with icing sugar and ENJOY!

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously spray a heavy 10-inch Bundt or straight-sided angel food cake pan with baking spray.
• In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add confectioners' sugar and beat for several minutes, until the mixture is satiny. Add sour cream, vanilla and lemon flavoring and mix well.
• Sift the flour and baking soda. Add 1 cup of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Mix in half the egg yolks, followed by another cup of flour, then the remaining yolks and finally the rest of the flour. Do not overmix or the cake will be tough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters and do the final mixing by hand.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently add the whites to the batter, folding them in with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula and barely mixing everything together.
• Scrape the batter evenly into the pan, rotating it as you go and twisting it to level the batter. Rap the pan sharply on the countertop about 30 times, rotating the pan slightly each time, to eliminate any air pockets.
• Bake for 30 minutes. If the cake is getting too brown on top, turn the oven down to 300 degrees, then test again in 15 minutes. The cake is done when the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour in all. Be careful to not underbake.
• Cool on a rack until the pan is easily handled. Run a knife around the rim and center tube and invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely. Transfer the cake to a serving plate or a cake stand. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 1 1/2-quart ovenproof bowl (8 inches across top) with shortening; coat with flour (do not use cooking spray).
• Make cake batter as directed on box. Pour batter into 1 1/2-quart bowl. Bake 47 to 53 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cake from bowl; place rounded side up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. If necessary, cut off rounded top of cake.
• Divide white frosting between 2 small bowls. Add blue food color to 1 bowl to make desired blue color for jeans. Place cake on tray cut side down; spread white frosting over half of cake (for Dad's t-shirt) and blue frosting over other half (for Dad's jeans), leaving a small area in between unfrosted (for Dad's back peeking out).
• Carefully place individual blue and brown candy sprinkles along back of jeans for belt line and seams. Place mini candy-coated chocolate candies on jeans to outline pocket. Carefully fold fruit snack to look like handkerchief, and press into frosting as if it were coming out of pocket.
• Microwave chewy chocolate candy on High 3 to 5 seconds, just until moldable. Firmly press broken end of pretzel rod into side of chewy candy to make hammer. Place on cake.
• Spoon chocolate frosting into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut tiny tip from 1 corner of bag, and pipe lines on sugar wafer to look like ruler; place on cake.
• Wrap string licorice around center of peanut butter sandwich cookie, leaving 1 end sticking out to look like tape measure; place on cake. Store loosely covered.
