Sandwich Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Remove leaves from celery stalks, reserve leaves for later use. Chop celery stalks; place in medium bowl.
• Cut 20 (6-inch) lengths from chives; reserve for later use. Chop remaining chives. Add to chopped celery along with the chicken and mayo; mix lightly. Spoon half the chicken mixture into separate bowl.
• Chop 1/2 cup grapes, then cut remaining grapes lengthwise in half. Reserve grape halves for later use. Add chopped grapes to chicken mixture in 1 bowl along with curry powder; mix lightly.
• Stir cheddar and bacon into remaining chicken mixture.
• Cut bread loaf horizontally into 3 layers. Stack layers on plate, filling each layer with different chicken salad.
• Mix cream cheese and milk until blended; spread onto outside of sandwich.
• Refrigerate 6 hours. Decorate with reserved celery leaves, chives and grape halves as shown in photo before serving.

Steps:

• In a stand mixer (or with an electric hand mixer), beat together the cream cheese, ranch seasoning and 1 cup of the mayonnaise until easily spreadable. Put one-third of the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip.
• With a serrated knife, trim the sides of the boule until it is an even cylinder. Cut the cylinder across the radius into four 1-inch slices. Choose a serving platter and place a slice of bread in the center for the bottom layer. Position 4 squares of parchment underneath the bread to keep the serving platter clean once you begin icing.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of the mustard onto the top of the bread. Top with the Cheddar, then the ham and turkey. Add half of the lettuce on top of the turkey. Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard on one side of another slice of bread, then place it mustard-side down on top of the lettuce.
• Spread the top of the bread with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Top with the bacon, tomato and remaining shredded lettuce. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise on a third slice of bread, then place it mayonnaise-side down on top of the lettuce. Next, cover the top of the bread with the potato chips in a single layer. Top the potato chips with the chicken salad and then the last slice of bread.
• With a knife or offset spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture along the top and sides of the cake evenly. Pipe rows of stars onto the top and bottom edge of the cake.
• Decorate the cake using radish and cucumber slices in a ring around the top and bottom of the cake. Shape the remaining radish and cucumber slices into roses and press into the top of the cake.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature. Can be made ahead and refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch-square cake pan, line with parchment, then butter again and dust with flour. Make the cake mix and fill the pan three-quarters full (you'll have batter left over). Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely. Transfer the cake to a work surface. Trim off the top using a serrated knife, then slice the cake in half horizontally.
• Beat the butter and peanut butter with a mixer until smooth. Alternate adding the confectioners' sugar and milk, beating after each addition, until the frosting is fluffy and smooth. In another bowl, whisk the grape jelly until it is loose and spreadable.
• Spread a thick layer of peanut butter frosting on the bottom cake half.
• Spread the grape jelly on top of the peanut butter frosting, making sure to reach the edges. Top with the remaining cake layer.
• Cut the cake in half diagonally and transfer to a serving plate. Separate the halves slightly to show the filling.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8" round cake pans.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well combined and smooth.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Add the extracts, if you're using them.
• Add the flour, beating gently just until well combined.
• Divide the stiff batter evenly between the cake pans; there'll be 11 to 12 ounces of batter in each, depending on the size eggs you used.
• Bake the cakes for about 20 minutes, or until they start to pull away from the edges of the pans. Remove them from the oven, cool for a couple of minutes, and turn out of the pans onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cakes are cool, place one layer on a plate. Spread with the jam of your choice.
• Whip the cream - 2/3 cup cream makes a medium-thickness layer of filling; 3/4 cup cream, a thick layer. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste, as you whip the cream until it's quite stiff. Stir in the vanilla at the end.
• Spread the whipped cream over the jam. Top with the second layer of cake.
• Brush the top of the cake with syrup, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar, if desired. Or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
• Refrigerate the cake until you're ready to serve it. It'll be at its best within 12 hours; but is still quite good up to 2 or even 3 days later. The difference will be the whipped cream, which will gradually settle/compact.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper.
• In a large bowl, beat 200g caster sugar, 200g softened butter, 4 beaten eggs, 200g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 tbsp milk together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
• Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
• Bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed.
• Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
• To make the filling, beat the 100g softened butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in 140g sifted icing sugar and a drop of vanilla extract (if you're using it).
• Spread the buttercream over the bottom of one of the sponges. Top it with 170g strawberry jam and sandwich the second sponge on top.
• Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Steps:

• Whisk fudge topping and 1 cup COOL WHIP in medium bowl until blended. Add dry pudding mix; stir 2 min. Stir in 1 cup cookies.
• Arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches, side-by-side, on 24-inch-long piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil; cover with half the COOL WHIP mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining sandwiches. Frost with remaining COOL WHIP; press remaining cookies into top and sides of dessert. Wrap loosely with foil.
• Freeze 4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Grease two 20cm/8 inch round sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream together until thick and pale. Beat the 3 eggs and add to the bowl, then sift in the flour gradually. Finely grate the zest from the 2 lemons into the bowl, and squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice and add.
• Beat together for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spoon into the tins and spread level. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm and golden, and leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack and leave until completely cooled.
• To make the icing, beat the butter with the icing sugar until light and fluffy, and squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice into the mixture.
• Spread the icing over the top of each cake using a palette knife, and sandwich together.

Steps:

• You will need a container to make this in I use a plastic 9x13 pan with a lid. Glass with plastic wrap will work too.
• Place half of your sandwiches in the bottom of the pan.
• Cover with whipped topping.
• Top with half of your chopped nuts.
• Drizzle with syrup.
• Repeat above steps for next layer.
• Cover and freeze for 2 hours.
