Coconut Cake with Seven-minute Frosting

Grandmama’s Homemade Coconut Cake is a from scratch cake with decadent (and no fail) 7 minute icing. This is a favorite of our family for holidays and special occasions year round. I found it in an old box of papers that belonged to my grandmother. She had typed it out on letterhead from the company where she worked and later came back, circled it, and wrote in “Real good”. After trying it for myself, I had to agree! When it comes to moist cakes, this is the mother of them all. If a crumb drops from your fork, don’t be surprised if you find your finger chasing it around your plate – it’s just that good.

Top it off with no fail seven minute frosting and a sprinkling of coconut and prepare yourself for a coconut cake experience unlike any other! One of the great things about Grandmama’s seven minute frosting is that you don’t need a double boiler to make it and you can forget fretting over whether or not the weather is dry enough – this comes out perfect every time regardless. If you’re making a layer cake and you like generous amounts of frosting, I suggest doubling the frosting recipe.

This cake has become one of the break out hits from my third cookbook, Sweetness. I’ve received so many emails saying the price of the cookbook was worth it for this one recipe alone. And if that wasn’t recommendation enough, my mother’s friends tell me this is the recipe she tells everyone that they just “have” to make first the moment they get that cookbook.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 c. Sugar,

2 Tbsp corn syrup,

1/4 c.water,

6 egg whites,

tsp. Vanilla

How To Make Frosted Buttermilk Apple Cake Loaf

We love all things apple in the fall, apple cider, applesauce, and of course practically anything baked with apples. If there’s one way to sink our teeth into the fall season it’s with this amazing buttermilk apple loaf cake. There’s really something special about this moist cake, especially the subtle sweetness that we expect from baking with one of our favorite fruits, apples. Our buttermilk apple cake loaf is perfect for a weekend brunch, for a book club, or to send off as a care package or a welcome to a new neighbor.

Apples and cinnamon are an essential combination when it comes to creating a perfect fall flavor. The sweetness of the apple and the warm spice from the cinnamon just ooze of comfort and will make our kitchen smell absolutely amazing – we can’t think of a better aromatherapy to help us feel warm and relaxed. While these are important ingredients in the recipe, it’s the buttermilk that makes a big difference, adding the right balance of moisture to the cake, so when it comes out of the oven and cools, the cake is able to stay perfectly moist and delicious. We could skip the frosting here, but why?! A nice drizzle of a simple vanilla sugar frosting is just that little bit of added sweetness and flair.

Frosted Buttermilk Apple Cake Loaf

Fall is absolutely one of our favorite seasons for baking and naturally, apples are often a big part of our seasonal recipes. Our buttermilk apple cake loaf is one we love to share and of course, we love to eat it ourselves! A slice of this with a cup of coffee or packed in a lunch as a snack is so satisfying. When we think about all of the ways to bring fall into our kitchens, apples are definitely on the list. What better way to celebrate the season than with a slice of this moist and delicious buttermilk apple cake loaf! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake Recipe

Beautiful, bright cheesecake packed with sweet orange flavors. This Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake is made with fresh orange flavors throughout, topped with orange whipped cream, orange glaze.

Was looking through some pictures on my old computer that I haven’t used in months and I discovered a file that I completely forgot about. Last spring, I started working on a small cheesecake cookbook that I was going to make digitally available on my site. I got 5-6 recipes in the spring but then, life got busy.

Summers are crazy for me, between my little man being off from school and keeping my readers happy with new recipes, I was only able to get a handful of extra recipes for the book before completely forgetting about it. Yes, I’m ashamed to say that I completely put that project on the back burner and forgot about it.

For this cheesecake, you will start with a cookie crumb base. You’ll need to let it chill out in the fridge for about 30 minutes or so.

Next, you’ll mix up the no-bake cheesecake, then the orange mixture. You’ll add a whipped cream mixture to both the cheesecake and orange mixture before layering them both into the prepared crust.

The No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake will have to hang out in the fridge again for about 8 hours, or overnight, to set up completely.

The old fashioned custard pie

This silky creamy custard pie offers eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla in an incredibly sweet creamy treat that prepares in a matter of minutes.
Remember the way our ancestors used to cook with healthy ingredients that everyone knows by name? There was no mixed box and shortcuts. What you put in a cake you take out straight from the farm or the farmers market. This silky, creamy custard pie reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. When she was cooking everything seemed to come together quickly and easily but tasted very exceptional.
A delicious custard pie has six ingredients if you buy an uncooked pie crust. I know what you’re thinking Grandma would never do. You’re right but times were different back then and there wasn’t as much of a distraction back then as it is now.
