Sleepy Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil on medium-high in a deep pan. While vegetable oil is heating, mix eggs, sugar, vanilla and milk until well blended. Slowly add the flour, salt and baking powder, stirring well. Test the temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away without smoking, it's perfect. Using a funnel or even a ladle, drop mixture into hot oil working from center outwards in a web pattern. (You can use a gallon sized freezer bag instead of a funnel by pouring the batter into the bag, snipping off a small corner of it, and squeezing the batter into the oil.) Using a pair of kitchen tongs, quickly turn the funnel cake over as soon as one side is golden brown. After the other side has cooked, remove it from the oil and place it on top of a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan.
• Whisk together 3/4 cup white sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in melted chocolate, butter or margarine, vanilla, and milk; mix to combine. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with the two sugars, 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 cup white, and the cocoa. Pour cold coffee over the top, but do not stir in.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
