Default Your most delicious cake recipe

Please share. I'm open to flavors and different kinds, but it has to be mostly from scratch.

Default Re: Your most delicious cake recipe

This is the recipe for the cupcakes Ellie liked. I will type out the actual recipe and then what I think I did (because I REALLY screwed it up ) I wish I could make it and bring it to you, but I couldn't get that done until Monday and I know you want it for Sunday.

From The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum
White Velvet Butter Cake
4.5 large egg whites
1 C milk
2 1/4 t vanilla
3 C flour
1 1/2 C sugar
1T+1t baking powder (I used baking soda and cream of tarter)
3/4 t salt
12 T unsalted softened butter

Preheat oven to 350

Combine egg whites, 1/4 C milk and vanilla (I put in all of the milk)

In separate large mixing bowl combine dry ingredients - blend on low 30sec
Add butter and 3/4 c milk and moisten on low then beat for 1 1/2 min on med (I think I realized I messed up at this point and I put some of the egg/milk mixture in )

Add egg mixture in 3 batches beat between

Put in greased and floured pans (half full) - fits in 2 9in pans

Bake 25-35 min

Classic Buttercream
6 large egg yolks
1C sugar
1/2 C water
2C unsalted softened butter

Beat yolks until light in color
In pan combine sugar and water and heat stirring until sugar dissolves and the syrup is boiling. Stop stirring and boil to soft-ball stage 238degrees (I guessed) - then immediately transfer sugar to glass measuring cup to stop the cooking.
Beat small amount of syrup into eggs beat 5 sec then repeat - beat until cool
Gradually beat in the butter.
Can be refrigerated, but bring to room temp before spreading on cake (can rebeat if needed for texture).

Best cake I've ever had. No one would know it's gluten free (and that's how I think the better gf recipes are anyway).

Basil Cream And Mint Cream Filled Cupcakes With Raspberry Mousse Frosting
Black Forest Cake is pretty awesome too, but I think for mine I wound up piecing together several recipes to make it (cake from one site, cherry stuff from another...)

Have you tried making those blueberry cakes w/o xanthan gum? I don't like xanthan gum (and dh is allergic to it).

I have an awesome recipe for devil's food cake. . I'll try to post it.

No, I am not good enough at GF baking yet to venture out.

I have heard you can sub. guar gum for xanthan gum, though, if you are okay with guar gum.

Being GF definitely makes it difficult to do the traditional diet...we have found that we just don't do many grain-ish products at all anymore.

those blueberry cakes look delicious. Is it possible to sub regular flour for a gluten-free recipe? We can't have xantham gum here.

I have no idea.

Again, can you do guar gum? That can be subbed for xanthan gum.

Yes, I think it's corn-free, but I don't have it and have no idea where to get it. I have a mill and grind all our grain; I've never made anything gluten-free.

yeah, honestly, I wouldn't try to sub regular flour, although...I guess it can't hurt to try, right? (sorry, I though you were GF for some reason, so I was all excited to give you lots of fun cake recipes).

I am pretty sure coconut cupcakes could fit the bill. It is in the veg forum, but I will see if I can find it.
