CHRISTMAS CAKE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.

BEST CARROT CAKE RECIPE | MYRECIPES
Truly our best-ever carrot cake recipe, make this classic favorite for a crowd and you might not have any leftovers to bring home. For more flavor, try toasting the nuts and coconut before adding them to the batter. It's important to cool the cakes completely before frosting, otherwise the frosting will just melt right off. To expediate the cooling process, you can put the cakes on their wire racks in the freezer (don't worry, it's not cheating), checking until they're thoroughly cool. This is a cake you can bake for any occasion. We recommend this cake anytime from Easter to Christmas.

CUTTING CAKE 101: HOW TO CUT CAKE THE RIGHT WAY - CHOWHOUND
18/10/2020 · You cut slices from each of the outer rings until you’re down to a six-inch round, and from there you can cut wedges. I asked Wilk whether she’d had the same “aha!” moment I’d had when I first learned to approach cake-cutting in this way: “I don’t remember the first time I saw it,” she said, “but I do remember never cutting cake the same again.”
