COOKING WITH KIDS: CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Children: Weigh out the ingredients. Older children can do this by themselves with supervision and little ones can help to pour or spoon ingredients into the weighing scales. Put 50g butter, 100g milk or dark chocolate, broken into chunks and 3 tbsp golden syrup in a saucepan or microwavable bowl. Put 100g cornflakes in another large bowl.
• Grown ups: Melt the weighed butter, chocolate and golden syrup in the saucepan over a low heat or briefly in the microwave. Allow to cool a little before pouring over the cornflakes.
• Children: Stir the ingredients together gently using a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into 12 cupcake cases arranged on a muffin tray (or baking sheet, if you don't have one). Grown ups will need to do this for younger children or simply arrange on a tray and let the mess happen. Put in the fridge to set.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line with parchment two 9 inch round pans.
• Combine the crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and the light brown sugar until fluffy. Slowly beat in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Alternately add the milk and the crumb mixture while beating on low.
• Beat the egg whites in a bowl until foamy. Add the sugar slowly, and beat to soft peaks. Fold into the crumb batter, and pour into the pans.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a rack about 10 minutes, then invert and cool completely.
• To Make Frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoon sugar until it turns golden. Remove from heat, and add 4 tablespoons of the butter; swirl. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, and place back on the heat. Bring to a boil, stirring all the time. Add the cream, and bring back to a boil. Boil 1 minute, and remove caramel from heat.
• Place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl, and mixing on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the caramel. Beat until the bottom of the bowl is just barely warm, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until smooth, and chill frosting until ready to ice the cake. Frost the cake, and press the pecans into the sides.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE

Steps:

• Put the graham crackers in a brown paper bag, and smash them up. Squish and pound vigorously. Sitting on the bag insures very fine crumbs. You should end up with about 2 cups.
• Melt the butter in a large pan over low heat. Stir the eggs and honey in a bowl with the melted butter.
• In another bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour half the graham cracker mixture into the honey mixture and stir well. Add the milk to the honey mixture, and stir again. Add the rest of the crumbs, and mix well.

CRACKER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170°C.
• Line the base of a round cake tin with baking paper.
• Then butter and flour the tin.
• Prepare the crackers and pecans, mix them together; set aside.
• Put the egg whites and salt in mixer bowl and whip until foamy; then slowly shake in the sugar a little at a time- beating all the while.
• Once it's all added, continue to beat until it is stiff and glossy (as though you are making meringue), it will take about 5 minutes.
• With a spatula swirl in the vanilla, then very gently fold in the crackers and pecan mixture only until just combined- so the egg whites don't deflate too much.
• Scoop into prepared tin and smooth down gently.
• Bake for about 40 minutes until the top feels crunchy when lightly pressed and the middle seems to set.
• Leave to cool in the tin on a rack for about 19 minutes, then carefully loosen around the edges and turn onto a rack.
• Remove paper and cool completely.
• When cool transfer to a serving plate and top with cream and strawberries.

TINA'S CRACKLE CAKE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat oven to 350F. Adjust rack in the lower third of oven. Grease or spray 3 10 inch nonstick cake pans and line the bottom with wax paper. Grease the paper as well. Sift flour, half of the sugar (1 cup and 2 tablespoons), and salt into a bowl; set aside. Whisk egg whites in bowl of a heavy-duty mixer just until frothy. Add cream of tartar; whisk until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cups sugar in a steady stream, whisking until thicker, stiffer, glossy peaks form - about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Scoop white into a VERY large bowl (trust me, you'll need it) and set aside. In the same bowl you used for the whites, beat the egg yolks with remaining sugar until thick and pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes. Add water and beat until thickened, about 4 minutes. It should be very thick and pale. Pour yolk mixture over whites and gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a third of the flour mixture over the egg mixture; fold to combine. Repeat two more times just until ingredients are incorporated. Gently pour batter into the pans and level tops with a spatula. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until top springs back slightly when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Invert pan onto a cooling rack, and cool for about 45 minutes. To remove cake from pan, slip a butter knife down one side of pan and slowly trace perimeter to release the cake. When sides are free, cover cake with a rack and invert. Remove cake pan and the wax paper. Let the cakes cool completely. For the coffee crunch topping: Generously oil a large baking sheet or line with a silicon mat or parchment paper; sift baking soda onto a sheet of wax paper; set nearby. Combine coffee, sugar and corn syrup in a heavy, 4-quart saucepan. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. When mixture is clear and begins to boil, increase heat to medium-high; cook until mixture reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda (mixture will foam up intensely). While still foaming, pour out onto prepared baking sheet. Do not spread (this will compress it) and let it harden and cool completely (about 30 minutes). Crush into very small pieces using your hands or a knife. Store in an airtight container if using later. For the frosting: Combine cream, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until cream holds stiff peaks. To assemble: Place cake on a cake plate. Spread whipped cream between each layer about 1 inch thick and sprinkle with the smallest pieces and dust from the coffee crunch. Carefully stack the layers, repeating the whipped cream and sprinkling the coffee crunch. Spread remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of cake and decorate with as much coffee crunch as possible. Refrigerate until serving.
