It was so much fun reading all of your favourite cakes–I even learned of a few that I’d never heard of before!

See you tomorrow morning with a new post and another exciting giveaway!

. . .

The Pioneer Woman Giveaway:

source: thepioneerwoman.com

Did I mention how excited I am that Ree’s (aka The Pioneer Woman) new cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier is finally released? Well, I sincerely am. And that she’s going to be sending a signed copy to 3 of my lucky readers? This means a lot to me because Ree and I go way back, even if she doesn’t know this. I discovered her back in 2008 when I innocently Googled “cinnamon rolls recipe.” I came across this post and that was that. I felt instantly connected with her, as though we were going to be friends. Forever. Not in like an SWF way, but just in your standard I-want-to-move-into-her-ranch-and-be-best-buds-for-life kind of way. I became an avid reader of her blog, and I can say that she is one of the reasons that I blog today. Come to think of it, before that serendipitous day, I didn’t even know what a blog was. So that’s what makes this recipe and giveaway the perfect theme for my 100th blog post!

So I’ve been whipping up recipes from her blog and her first book for several years now, and I can honestly tell you that any recipe I have ever made (and made and made) has been incredible and loved by all. I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you this, but I was never much of a cook before she came along. Gasp! Truthfully, I now enjoy cooking and trying new savoury recipes, but I just didn’t have a lot of experience with it, or much extra time (layer cake, anyone?). After discovering Ree and her simple-but-scrumptious recipes loaded with step-by-step photos and instructions, I fell in love with cooking, and I make the time. Thank goodness, because it turns out man cannot live on cake alone–particularly men who don’t like cake. (Hi honey!)

Several weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of her new book (and signed with a sweet note, no less–thank you, Ree!). As is everything she does, it’s warm, humourous and filled with irresistible recipes, photos and glimpses into her life on the ranch. I have had a chance to try many of the recipes in the book, including Fig-Prosciutto Pizza (fancy & fabulous), Rigatoni & Meatballs (I was so proud of myself), Steakhouse Pizza (crowd-pleaser), Brie Stuffed Mushrooms (delightful), and more. But, as much as Ree can rock the savoury, she also rocks the sweet–sweets of all kinds, including cake. So when I was trying to decide which dessert to try from her new book, I knew instantly: Billie’s Italian Cream Cake. I’ve been dreaming about this cake since she shared it on her site a few years ago, and I knew it was meant to be. Ree explains that Billie is a friend from church, who brought this cake over one Fourth of July and shared the recipe with her, and trust me, if you haven’t made this recipe already,  you’ll soon thank Billie. And Ree. And me?

So, yep–I made it. I knew this was going to be amazing for a few reasons (and not just because Grant calls me “Billy” and is of Italian descent). First off, is it just me, or is every recipe that comes from church-going women or church cookbooks not the yummiest ever? And secondly, moist buttermilk cake layers sandwiched between and smothered in whipped coconutty, pecan cream cheese frosting? Nah, I’ll pass. As if! Maybe on opposite day, as Ree would say. This cake is homespun temptation at its best. (And everyone knows I have minimal ability to resist temptation of this magnitude.)

Yum x infinity.

So, if sharing such a delightful and decadent cake wasn’t enough, as I mentioned, Ree is going to personally sign and send 3 super lucky Sweetapolita readers a copy of her fabulous new book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier!

Here are the details and how to enter (and this could not be easier, guys):

1. Leave a comment and tell me, “What’s your favourite cake?”

This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be posted here on the blog and notified by email. ♥

UPDATED 04/22: 2. Contest now ends April 22nd, 2012 at MIDNIGHT (EST) and winners will be selected using random.org and notified by email and announced here on the blog. You must leave a valid email address (will not be displayed) in your entry. *I’ve extended the entry deadline until midnight to offer more time for those who couldn’t get onto the site during the day today (Sunday).

And here’s this amazing recipe, shared with permission from Ree. I have included weight measurements along with a few notes from yours truly:

Billie’s Italian Cream Cake          {click to print}

 

 

 

 

from the book The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier
Ingredients

For the cake:

5 eggs, separated (then brought to room temperature)

1/2 cup (1 stick/114 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup (237 mL) vegetable oil

1 cup (200 g/7 oz) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon (15 mL) pure vanilla extract

1 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) sweetened flaked coconut

2 cups (260 g/9 oz) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda

1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder

1 cup (237 mL) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar), at room temperature

For the icing:

Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese

1/2 cup (1 stick/114 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, softened

2 teaspoons (10 mL) pure vanilla extract

2 pounds (1 kg) powdered sugar

1 cup (110 g/4 oz) chopped pecans

1 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) sweetened flaked coconut

Method

For the cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans (from Sweetapolita: I used three 8-inch round pans) or 2 quarter sheet pans, or one 9 x 12-inch pan.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until they’re stiff. Transfer them to another bowl, and then clean the mixing bowl and beater.

3. Combine the butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar in the mixing bowl and mix until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat until smooth.

4. Add the coconut and beat to combine.

5. Combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl, and then add to the mixer bowl, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix for a few seconds between each addition.

6. Add the stiff egg whites by gently folding into the mixture by hand until they’re incorporated.

7. Divide the batter among the pans and spread it out evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15-18 minutes.

8. Let cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes in pans, and then turn out onto the wire rack to cool completely.

For the icing:

1. Combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer (can use whisk or paddle attachment) until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

2. Add 3/4 cup of the chopped pecans and all of the coconut and mix until combined.

Assembly

1. If using round cake layers, stack them onto desired cake plate or board with generous amount of filling between each layer. If using the quarter sheet pans, cut them in half lengthwise, resulting in 4 rectangular layers, and spread a generous amount of filling between each layer.

2. Cover the stacked cake with the remaining icing and top with remaining chopped pecans.

Store leftovers in the fridge.

Sweetapolita’s Notes:

  • I used three 8-inch round cake pans (rather than 9-inch) for a slightly thicker cake layer.
  • I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the batter and a pinch of salt to the icing.
  • This cake is amazing day 1, 2, and likely for several more. Keep covered and refrigerated and bring to room temperature if you’re serving leftovers. The oil in the cake keeps it super moist, even in the fridge. The cream cheese in the frosting is why it should be kept refrigerated.
  • This recipe is now in my top 5 best-loved cakes, so you can imagine how yummy it is!

Good luck & enjoy!

Share the Sweetness!

      For years (and I do mean YEARS) my Mother made me my favorite Pineapple Upside Down cake for my birthday She never needed to ask, she just knew what I wanted. I recently made Ree’s (or should I say Billie’s) Italian Cream Cake and fell in love! This cake partnered with Ree’s fabulous Iced Coffee recipe has left me wanting nothing else to conquer my sweet obsession.

    This cake looks amazing. I can’t wait to have an occasion to try it. I am also a huge fan of Ree and the Pioneer Woman blog and agree that all of her recipes are delicious. Trying to decide on my favorite cake is a little difficult because it depends on the day, my mood, etc., but given that it is warm and springy here I have to go with a genoise cake filled with berries and a light custard, frosted with whipped cream and topped with more berries.

    My favourite cake is a White Russian cake. It’s basically derived from the cocktail recipe. I make it for my man’s birthday every year (and a few other occasions, it’s requested often!)

    Of course, I found it online. http://userealbutter.com/2011/06/28/white-russian-cake-recipe/ The only change I made was that I used really syrup-y preserved cherries from Europe instead of the fresh ones. You should give it a try!

    This Italian Cream Cake looks divine; I’m surely making one soon. Yum!

    My mom’s Apple Crumble Cake. In the past year I’ve rediscovered my love for baking, and I’ve been baking so so much, and maybe 1/2 of the new things I try are from your blog! But I guess it’s nostalgia. All those memories that a freshly baked Apple Crumble Cake of happy childhood days… Can’t be beat. Even now in my 20s, I still sneak into the kitchen and nick off a crumble or two ever so expertly, you can’t tell that I’ve been near it at all! ; )

    When I was really young my sister made “dirt cake” for my birthday. She put it in a pot and stuck fake plants in it, it was great! All my friends were shocked when I took a spoon full of “dirt” and ate it :D

    I have 3 favorites. My original favorite has always been red velvet with white chocolate cream cheese frosting and blackberries. Then I found your blog, and your fluffy white cake with vanilla bean frosting, and I have dreams about it. It was so delicious. I also make a lemon scented roasted blueberry cake with lemon curd filling and basil Swiss meringue buttercream. It’s light and summery, which I love and it’s popular everywhere I take it, especially in cupcake form.

    I don’t know that I have ever met a cake I didn’t like, but my all time favorite is strawberry with strawberry frosting. I can’t wait to make this Italian Cream Cake; the best part will be that hubs doesn’t like shredded coconut – more for me! ;)
    I love Ree’s blog and recipes. Would be so excited if I won.

    My favorite cake is tied. I really enjoy the Campfire Delight cake but I only make it as cupcakes because I’m better at that. My favorite cake that I have ever eaten was made by my sister for Mother’s Day, it was a rich chocolate cake with strawberries throughout it and a chocolate ganache covering it…I don’t know where she go the recipe but it was divine.

    My all-time favourite cake has to be Guinness cake with cream cheese icing. It’s a dark, dense, moist, incredibly fudgy wedge of chocolate cake (with a very subtle Guinness tang) topped with a thick, fluffy white layer of cream cheese icing (made with whipping cream, ever so decadent!). It makes me very, very happy.
    This is the ultimate celebration cake in my family, and friends beg me to bring it to birthdays, brunches, parties etc.
    Om nom nom, cake!

    Peach Cake! Pillsbury used to have a cake mix for it that was incredible, but they discontinued it years ago. I have not yet been able to recreate it.

    Today – my favorite cake is a strawberry layer cake with whipped strawberry frosting (yours from 8.25.11) because it’s waiting to be photographed and eaten this evening!!!

    Usually my favorite cake is anything dark-double-or-ultimate chocolate with chocolate frosting – martha’s fudge frosting is a go-to for this household :o)

    My favorite cake is a cake my mom made back in the 1950’s. She called it a Jewish Coffee Cake. It was made in a bundt pan with wonderful fresh from scratch ingredients which included real sweet butter, sour cream, flour, eggs, etc with a chopped walnut, brown sugar middle layer and top. So delicious and so moist.

    My favorite cake has to be carrot cake. Best ever was always made by my husband’s mother Louise. Although she is gone, the memories of that special cake she baked return whenever I have a slice….whether baked by me or anyone else for that matter…..

    oh, I have a heck of a sweet tooth, so picking ONE favorite cake is really tough :-)

    My absolute favorite dessert is probably tiramisù, but I am very picky about it.
    I also love lemon merengue pie, and freshly made black forest cake.

    Okay, here’s the deal I just began baking cakes this year (with a goal to bake at least one magnificent cake a month), as a result I don’t feel justified to pick a “favorite” cake yet because there are still SO many out there to that I haven’t tasted yet! From the small assortment that I “have” tasted, however, I absolutely love chocolate cake (must be moist) with espresso drizzle (Sky High Cookbook!) and TONS of whipped cream on top!!! Cakes are just amazing in general. THANKS!

    This is such an EASY answer!

I ordered 108 vanilla beans online (to split w/ a friend) due to this recipe and not kidding when I say I dream about this cake (especially the frosting). Thank you for sharing such awesome recipes and Ree as well :)

    Normally I would say plain chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting (1-bowl chocolate cake and uncooked or “country” buttercream) is my favorite…because it’s true. But I recently made a double-chocolate orange cheesecake (crust was chocolate sandwich cookies, nuts, butter, and chocolate chips, first and last layers were a dark chocolate cheesecake, middle layer was a white chocolate orange cheesecake, and the top was finished with a grand marnier whipped cream, candied orange peel, and chocolate curls so pretty everyone thought I bought it) from a Bon Appetit recipe. Inasmuch as cheesecake is a cake, it’s potentially a new favorite cake. Which is to say, Mom’s cake still wins, but this one was pretty freaking awesome.

I am however a huge fan of Red Velvet, Carrot, German Chocolate, Black Forrest cake and Cassata cake…*sigh*. See what I mean, I am constantly trolling baking sites for my next favorite cake. ;0)

    My favorite cake is a white chocolate almond cake with raspberry filling. I usually make it as a treat for friends who need a special something to cheer them up.

    Rosie, I finally made your rainbow cake for my daughter’s 8th birthday last week. It was my first time working with fondant. It came out ok but think I need a little practice. Plus the doodle pens I used weren’t so great – I will use your recommendation from now on!! Needless to say, it is our new favorite cake as the cake was delightful and the buttercream was amazing. Thank you so much for the great idea. The 16 children we hosted were amazed when they saw the rainbow layers! The adults were pretty impressed as well. Take care. Jayne

    My favorite cake is Yogourt Cake. It’s more a pie than a cake, with a sweet shortcrust, an ever so thin layer of dark chocolate (plain crunchy dark chocolate), a thin layer of raspberry puree scattered with a few whole raspberries and ,finally, a thick layer of the most amazing yogourt mousse. I even had it as my wedding cake and it was a complete hit!!!

    Our favorite cake that we make is our Tender White Cake that we got from the King Arthur Flour site. Tender and moist it is, with a very soft, fine crumb. The reason we like this cake so much is we take this recipe and add ingredients like vanilla beans, or almond butter, or raspberry puree or lemon juice and zest, and turn it into many different flavors of cake…all delicious and yet keeping the qualities we love of the original Tender White Cake! Our favorite flavor of cake to eat I would say is definitely anything chocolate!

    Commercially speaking, I LOVE the Pink Champagne Cake from the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, CA. But, if I have to pick one that is homemade, it would be Fresh Lemon Cake that I am fond of making every Easter.

    Cherry Chocolate Fudge cake… it is to DIE FOR! Chocolate cake with a can of cherry pie filling mixed in and baked and then a cooked chocolate frosting on top that ends up like fudge. My mom makes it and it is the only cake I really like. In fact, I think I need to call her and see if she’ll make me one right now! :)

    When I was a kid, my sister and I made up a cake we called “Throw cake.” It was a white cake and we would ‘throw’ chocolate chips and pecan pieces in the cake. Some would sink down but most of it would sit on the top, I would smear the chocolate around to make a layer of ‘icing’.
    It’s still one of my favorites, since I don’t really like traditional frosting.

    I’m partial to the asian style sponge cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Something about it is so light and delish. BUT .. I did just make Colette Peter’s chocolate cake and it was pretty darn tasty. There are way WAY too many cakes to choose and .. OH .. I forgot about a Tres Leches cake. Ok. That’s my favorite. Definitely.

    And the dark chocolate and salted peanut butter icecream cake a friend made me a couple of years ago is a food memory I will carry to my grave.

Two chocolate layers with a whipped chocolate ganache surrounded by homemade triple chocolate bark. I just discovered your blog and have already made several of your cakes. The chocolate cake with the strawberry buttercream was a hit at work. The next cake that I will make will be the choco choco cake.

    Lately, my favorite cake seems to be whatever I have most recently made. I take cake or cupcakes to my co-workers every Thursday, so I am always looking for something new to get them excited about. So, I think I am going to try the Hummingbird cake recipe on this site because the description of the cake is just irresistible.

    Cake is my favorite dessert so I’ve contemplated this question several times and I can never make up my mind. I adore basic white cake with vanilla buttercream. It was always my birthday cake growing up (usually tinted pink) so I have major fond memories tied to it. I also love my mom’s chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting. It’s the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had and it’s heaven!

    My favorite cake is simple but so yummy although it has to be baked by either my Aunt Thelma or Aunt Melba. Pound Cake, no one can come close to making a pound cake like my 2 Aunts. Maybe it is the fact I have to go back home to Georgia for a slice but nothing warms my heart more than a slice of their pound cake. Aunt Melba’s is so moist and always served with a glass of milk. I can never have just one piece. Aunt Thelmas pound cake is found on her cake platter where I hardly ever put the lid back on. I pick apart the crust first and then finally have at least 2 pieces. They follow the same recipe but I swear each has their own special ingredient.

    My favorite cake is associated with my 95-year-old paternal grandmother, whom was also a church-going woman. She would bring this cake to church potluck every week along with her baked spaghetti. It was a buttery vanilla cake topped with a stick-to-your-teeth caramelized sugar glazed oozing over slices of pineapple. Yes, it’s good old fashioned Pineapple Upside-Down Cake… Yummm!!!
