Butter Cake 2 Low Fat Recipes

BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment or wax paper, or dust lightly with flour.
• Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
• Beat butter and white sugar until fluffy and light in color. Gradually add eggs, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Stir until just blended (see Cook's Note for Blueberry Cake variation). Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for until cake springs back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire rack to cool completely.

BETTER THAN SEX CAKE II

Steps:

• Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
• In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
• Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!

CHOCOLATE MARVEL CAKE - LOW-FAT

Steps:

• To keep cake low-fat, use either a Seven-Minute Frosting or a powdered sugar glaze.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray the inside of two 8-inch cake pans or one 9-inch springform pan with Baker's Joy or grease and flour them.
• In large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.
• Place Lekvar (Prune Butter) in large mixing bowl; gradually add all other liquids, mixing on SLOW speed. (Unless you want to wear this)
• Add half of dry ingredients and mix 1 minute.
• Add remaining dry ingredients and mix 1 minute.
• Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake 30-35 minutes (8-inch pans) or 40-50 minutes (9-inch springform) or until done. (Toothpick comes out clean when inserted into middle of cake.)
• Cool in pans.
• Gently run knife around edge of cake.
• Place flat parchment-lined pan/plate on top and invert to remove each cake layer.
• Frost with 7-Minute Frosting.
• If you want to make it very decorative, melt 1-ounce unsweetened chocolate and drizzle it over the frosting, letting some of it run down the sides.
• IMPORTANT TIP: I always wrap little insulating strips, soaked in water and squeezed, around the outside of each cake pan.
• The brand I use is MagiCake by J P Products, and these work well.
• OMIT THIS LINE
• OMIT THIS LINE
• The purpose of these strips is to keep the cake from forming a hump in the middle of the cake layers by preventing the outside edges from cooking before the centers cook.
• I couldn't make flat cake layers without the MagiCake strips.
