Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
For the cake base:
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • For the vanilla whipped cream:
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ vanilla bean, scraped
For the chestnut topping and garnish:
  • 15 oz chestnut puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 12 whole chestnuts, cooked
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions
For the cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 13 inch cake pan. Bake the vanilla cake following the directions on the box. Allow to cool completely, then cut out 2-inch rounds of cake and set aside.
  2. For the vanilla whipped cream and assembly: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla bean until stiff peaks form.
  3. Using a silicone mini cake pan or muffin tin lined with plastic wrap, spoon the vanilla bean whipped cream into each indentation until half full. Press a round of cake into the whipped cream, taking care not to press it all the way to the bottom of the tin. Top the cakes with more whipped cream, making sure all of the cake is covered, and level the tops of the tins. Place in the freezer to set for about 1 hour.
  4. For the chestnut topping and garnish: In a food processor, place the chestnut puree, sugar, rum, cream and vanilla bean. Pulse until completely combined and smooth.
  5. Using a large zip-top bag, fold the corner over and tape the side. Poke holes in the base of the bag to create a DIY grass tip. Fill the piping bag with chestnut topping.
  6. Remove whipped cream cakes from the freezer and unmold them. Top each cake with a chestnut. Pipe each one with a tangle of chestnut topping, top with another chestnut, then place in the freezer for another 20 minutes. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve.

Saturday Morning Cake

Saturday Morning Cake
This breakfast cereal-infused vanilla cake covered with a creamy milk-infused buttercream frosting can be made with any of your morning favorites.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Cake
Ingredients
  • 429g all-purpose flour
  • 265g caster (superfine) sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 125g unsalted butter, softened
  • 375ml of milk
  • 125ml vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (can substitute with sour cream)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • 2 cups fruit loop cereal
  • 2 cups fruity pebbles
  • Milk Frosting
  • 2 batches Swiss meringue buttercream frosting.
  • 1 cup full cream or skim milk powder
  • ¼ cup boiling water
Instructions
  1. Milk Frosting
  2. To make frosting make a batch of my fluffy Swiss meringue buttercream frosting (not as sweet as American buttercream). To make the milk paste add boiling water to a mixing bowl. Add one teaspoon of milk powder, mix until combined, then add another teaspoon. Repeat this process until you’ve added half the milk powder. Then add the second half of the milk powder all at once and mix until it forms a smooth paste. It’s really important that the water is boiling and not hot tap water.
  3. Add ¼ of the frosting to a large mixing bowl and add milk paste. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to milk until really well combined. It’s going to get a little lumpy. Keep mixing for about 5 minutes on high speed and it will get smooth. Don’t forget to scrape down the bowl so that everything mixes in properly.
  4. Once that’s smooth add the rest of the frosting and mix until well combined. The frosting will taste like milk! :0)
  5. Cake
  6. Please note: the cake recipe will need to be doubled to achieve the cake in the video. I halved it in the video because most people don’t have mixing bowls big enough in their kitchens to make the entire recipe in one go :0) Let’s get stuck into the recipe!
  7. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven. Spray an 8” cake tin with oil spray and line the bottom with baking paper.
  8. Start by adding cornflakes into a large jug. Pour milk over it and give it a mix. Let it sit and soak for 10 minutes to get nice and soggy.
  9. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter and mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.
  10. Add the cereal milk, oil, Greek yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl, add froot loops or favourite cereal and fold in. Please note: If I was making this cake again, I probably wouldn’t add the froot loops as they went stale in the cake. If you choose to leave them out, replace them with some colourful funfetti sprinkles.
  11. Fill three 8” cake tins with batter.
  12. Bake for 45 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the tins to cool for 2 min and then carefully flip the cake tins over on to a cooling wrack to cool completely before using.
  13. Using a large serrated knife, carefully trim the top off each layer of cake to make even and flat layers. Try to aim to get them all the same height. An easy way to do this is to find the lowest height of the cake, place a skewer or toothpick next to that point and mark it. As you go around each side of the cake cutting it, use the marked skewer to make sure each cut is at the same height.
  14. To prepare crumb coat, add a dab of milk frosting onto an 8” cake board or serving plate. Add first cake layer. Use a small offset to add a layer of frosting and smoothen out and layer the frosting on each layer before adding the next layer of cake. Add more frosting around the outside to fill the grooves between each layer. This should just be a neat thin layer of frosting which is aimed at trapping any cake crumbs so that random bits of cake crumbs don’t show up on the outside of the cake. Chill for 2 hours or overnight
  15. Add a fresh layer of frosting using a small offset spatula. Use a cake scraper to smoothen out the frosting around the sides. Then smoothen out the top using the cake scraper. Chill.
  16. To finish add fruity pebble cereal around the bottom of the cake. Start off heavy and then add less as you go up the cake to give it an ombre effect.
  17. Fit the end of a piping bag with a Wilton 8B piping tip and frost swirls on top of the cake. Finish off with a sprinkle of fruity pebbles.

Strawberry Souffle Pancakes

Strawberry Souffle Pancakes
Absorb all the gooey strawberry and creamy, sweet cream cheese filling flavors with these super fluffy pancakes.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Cake
Ingredients
Strawberry sauce:
  • 1 pint strawberries, quartered
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cheesecake filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • ⅓ cup whipped cream
  • ⅛ cup strawberry sauce
Pancakes:
  • ½ cup cake flour, sifted
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • Graham cracker crumbs, to garnish
Instructions
  1. For the strawberry sauce: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add strawberries, sugar and vanilla. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a low simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. For the cheesecake filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese and powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add whipped cream and strawberry sauce; stir until fully combined. Add to a piping bag and set aside.
  3. For the pancakes: In a large bowl, add flour, egg yolks, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add egg whites and sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the flour mixture, one-third at a time, making sure there are no white streaks left.
  5. Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and place over low heat. Spray a ring mold with cooking spray and add it to the center of the pan. Pour the batter into the ring mold, filling mold about halfway. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, giving the bottom time to brown. Pour a tablespoon of water into the pan but not directly on pancake, and cover with a lid. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, slowly remove the ring mold, and gently flip the pancake with a spatula. Cook an additional 3 minutes and remove from heat. Repeat with remaining pancake batter.
  6. Place pancake on a plate, pipe filling on top and stack with another pancake. Top with more cheesecake filling, top with strawberries and graham cracker crumbs.
