Instructions
  1. In a the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with whisk attachment whisk butter and sugar on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy or about five minutes.
  2. Be sure to stop at least once and scrape the bowl.
  3. With the mixer off, add in cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
  4. Turn mixer on low and blend for about 30 seconds.
  5. One tablespoon at a time add in heavy cream.
  6. Once all cream has been added and mixture is mostly combined, turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Now turn the mixer onto medium-high to high and whisk for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is lighter and fluffier. The frosting will be shiny and seem to have many large air bubbles throughout and this is exactly what we are going for. (You can smooth those out on the cake if so desired.)

Instructions
  1. Add milk, egg and butter to bread machine pan.
  2. Add bread flour, 3 Tbsp sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into corners.
  3. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add yeast. Lock pan into bread maker.
  4. Program for dough. Start bread maker. When done, unlock pan from bread maker. Place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes.
  5. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15' x 10'. Spread 1/2 C melted butter over dough to within 1" of edges. Then sprinkle 1/4 C sugar and cinnamon evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12" long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or thread of dental floss, cut roll into 1" pieces. Place rolls into greased 13" x 9" baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Bake in preheated 375F oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10-15 minutes.
  7. While cooling, make glaze by mixing confectioner's sugar with orange juice, stirring until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle glaze over top of rolls as evenly as possible. I left them in the pan, but you can cut them apart and remove from pan, whatever you prefer.

Instructions
  1. For Cake: Sift the flour, measure and resift 3 times with the baking powder and salt. Combine the spices and mix thoroughly with boiling water. Cream the butter until soft and smooth, blend in 3/4 C of the sugar, and add the beaten egg yolks. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in spice mixture; then add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour and beating until smooth after each addition. Beat egg whites, add remaining 1/4 C sugar, and continue beating until very stiff; fold into batter. Turn into two 8-inch cake pans which have been lined with thin plain paper in bottom. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about 25 minutes, until springy when pressed lightly with the finger tips. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans and then turn out and cool thoroughly on cake racks. Put together with orange frosting.
  2. For Frosting: Cream butter until very soft and smooth; then add sugar gradually, creaming thoroughly. Add salt and orange rind. Gradually work in the orange juice using just enough to produce a smooth spreading consistence. Spread on cake (Sufficient for two 8-inch layers)
Recipe Notes

To make cake flour:  For 2 C cake flour,  mix 1 3/4 C all-purpose flour and 1/4 C corn starch.

I discovered that I had no round cake pans, so I ended up making a single layer cake in a 10" spring form pan.  Still took about 25 minutes, maybe closer to 30 in my oven, but the temperature was a bit less according to my oven thermometer.

Instructions
  1. Begin with the Sweet Roll Dough, and add the first 4 ingredients after the original mix when additional flour is added.
  2. After the first rise and punch down, divide dough into 4 parts. Shape 3 of the parts into 14" strands. Place on lightly greased baking sheet (or baking sheet with parchment paper?). Braid loosely, fastening strands at one end, then tucking under. Make an indentation on the top for the second, smaller braid.
  3. Divide fourth part into 3 pieces and shape into 3 strands each 12" long. Braid these 3 strands and place this small braid on top of large braid.
  4. Cover and let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Brush with egg yolk glaze, if desired.
  5. Heat over to 350F. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with a little milk - use only enough to wet sugar enough to make the icing. Cut the cherries.
  7. Ice while warm, then place cherries and sprinkle almonds on top. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Grease generously and slightly flour bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts (if you used) in bottom. P:lace all other cake ingredients in bowl and mix well at medium speed on electric for 5 minutes. Bake at 350F for 1 hour Cool cake in pan for 20 minutes, then frost.
  2. Frosting: Put all ingredients saucepan and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Pour over cake in pan; leave in pan until completely cool, then turn upside down on cake plate.
Recipe Notes

This can also be made as a chocolate rum cake simply by swapping the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix, and the vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding. Get the driest possible cake mix, again, so that the syrup will soak in. (I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to for birthdays! (6.25.20))

If you can't find a super dry generic cake mix, try changing the syrup ingredients to 1/4 C each of water and rum.  (I haven't tried this yet - I found a great dry mix, for the yellow cake at least. (6.25.20))

Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples

Print Recipe
 Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples
These cinnamon apples taste like a cobbler or pie without the crust. I was looking for a recipe for Cinnamon apples and all I could find were recipes for baking the whole apple - not what I wanted. After much searching I finally came across this recipe - I unfortunately cannot remember the site. It can easily be reduced to 2 or 3 apples, just watch it as it cooks. We serve this over ice cream and it is delicious. It can also be used on pancakes, waffles, or all by itself.

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place cut and peeled apples in a mixing bowl and gently mix all the ingredients together.
  3. Put apples in a non-stick pan; cover and place in the oven.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring at least once every 15 minutes.
  5. Once they are soft, cook for another few minutes to thicken the cinnamon sauce.
  6. I like to put everything into my baking dish and then mix it since there is less to clean up.
Recipe Notes

Can serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
