Gonna bake a cake tomorrow. A cardamom yellow cake with a raspberry filling from the raspberry bush at my house, and a cooked lemon-meringue frosting. I'd love to share it with my friend who's allergic to casein, how well does rice milk substitute for regular moo juice for the batter? Supposedly butter is casein free as well, can anyone confirm or deny this?

Went ahead with the rice milk, the cake seems a little flat, but is still super tasty. Threw some vanilla extract and copious amounts of lemon zest into the batter along with the cardamom. Tried a little nibble of the edge of the cake with my raspberry filling. I literally almost cried. It's super loving good.

Spicy Soba Noodles posted:But where are the pictures? Here. Finished it a few hours ago, got distracted by life poo poo. I couldn't get the frosting to hold peaks, but that's my fault for using a shallow bowl to mix it. (Didn't wanna fling frosting everywhere) A stand mixer would certainly be much more useful than the handheld one I have, but the frosting still turned out great. It's lemony marshmallow goodness. Super pleased with it for being the first cake I've made in 6+ years. Next time I'm gonna use milk since the cake isn't as voluminous as I'd like. Hopefully the raspberry bush at my house will still be productive by the time I try to make this again.

Aw man, I lost the photos I took of my birthday cake. I made it myself, becoming a bit of a tradition. This was the second time I made myself a chocolate chocolate chip cake with peanut butter buttercream icing studded with pecans and oreos. Because IT'S MY BIRTHDAY I DO WHAT I WANT.

Oh man I forgot about this thread! Here, have a couple pictures of a diet coke cake I made for diet-coke-loving friend's birthday a few weeks back.   Not my idea, but this is a coke bottle used as a mold to make a chocolate shell, with the actual cap and label put back on afterwards. The cake is a caramel cake soaked with bourbon (it was actually super boozy and no one could take the cake) and cream cheese frosting, at the request of the friend whose birthday it was. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, although it took three tries to get the top half right - I kept putting the dark chocolate in while it was still too warm, and melting the nice even line of white chocolate I'd made.

Baking goons ( ), what is the fedora of cakes? Is it a cake shaped like a fedora?

I'd say a cake that comes from a mix... Also probably fedora shaped.

And it has that overly sweet icing. You know the kind. Sickly sweet and unpalatable.

Costco white cake with the gluey custard filling and greasy icing 2" thick. AKA the monthly office birthday celebration cake that sits in the break room fridge for a week afterwards.

I think I'm going to make myself some sort of beer cake for my birthday. Anyone have any good recipes that aren't on the first page of Google and don't involve cake mix?

Guinness brownies? They have a comparatively lighter, cakey texture to gooey brownies and are less sweet so they can be played up. For a boilermaker gimmick I brushed a batch with Jameson and topped with Bailey's whipped cream. They went over pretty well. Though I haven't tried, I don't see why you couldn't make a layer cake out of a double batch and do some sort of buttercream or ganache (or both). If you're not a Guinness fan ... maybe experiment with beer bread or subbing beer in for the liquid in a sweet quick bread recipe?

I'm kind of avoiding the Guinness-brownie/cupcake/whatever-with-Bailey's-icing thing because, well, the ex made that a lot and it seems a poor choice for a birthday cake

Does anyone have a good recipe for a gluten free chocolate cake? I have been asked to make one for a friend's kid's birthday party and apparently they haven't got a preferred recipe because it's hard to make good moist gluten free chocolate cake (kid and dad have celiacs so needs to be 100% clean). But the kid insists it must be chocolate with salted caramel filling so I'm hunting for recipes.

It uses only chickpea flour which is more convenient than other recipes that use 3-4 different GF flours. The cake turns out nice and moist without the density of some GF recipes, but it doesn't rise quite as much as traditional cake. I don't use the icing recipe they suggest, though.

Look into black bean chocolate cake recipes, they're great even if you're not celiac and extremely moist.

Made Julia child's queen of Sheba cake. Holy gently caress. Seriously the best cake I've ever made or had. Also my first foray into ganache. Superb with some champagne.

Technically a cake I guess. Made a lime cheesecake, topped with whipped cream and mango slices. It's insanely delicious.

My housemate is throwing a pizza party, so I baked a cake. A tiramisu cake. Followed the recipe from the smitten kitchen blog. Can't wait to try it!

Made this for a girl's birthday party. She had a stuffed penguin toy that she freaking loved. The cake was like 7 layers I think.
