Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8 inch round layer cake pans; lightly grease the bottom and sides of
the pans with shortening and dust with flour. Tip: to make baked cake easier to remove from pan,
lightly grease the pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and then lightly grease the top of the
parchment paper and dust the pan with flour.
Batter:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; sift or
whisk together to mix. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla; stir together. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until
light and fluffy. Tip: To cream, start by placing the butter in the bowl, with an electric mixer on
medium speed begin by beating the butter about 1 minute until it is smooth and light in color.
With the mixer still on medium speed, slowly add the granulated sugar to the butter, either one
tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 4 to 5 minutes to add all of
the sugar, then add the brown sugar, taking an additional 3 to 4 minutes, beating until the
butter and sugar are fully incorporated and the mixture is a light, or pale yellow color, with a
fluffy texture. While adding the sugars, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the mixture off the
paddle and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture
blends evenly.
4. Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed. Tip: For each egg, crack
the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to thoroughly break up the egg before adding to
the creamed mixture. Start with the mixer on low speed so the liquid from the egg doesn’t
splatter, once the egg is partially mixed increase the speed to medium. Each egg should be fully
incorporated into the mixture before adding the next egg, taking about one minute to blend in
each egg.
5. With the mixer on low speed, add about one third of the flour mixture, mix just until the flour is
almost completely blended. Scrape the bowl down, and add about one half of the buttermilk
mixture, blending just until mixed. Scrape the bowl down again and continue alternating with
the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, ending with the last portion of the flour, and stirring
just until blended.
6. Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with the back of a large
spoon. Bake 35 minutes or until a long toothpick, wooden skewer, or cake tester inserted in the
center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place pans on a wire cooling rack to cool for
10-15 minutes then remove cake from the pans and place the cake on the wire cooling rack to
finish cooling.

Spice Cocoa Frosting:
1. In a medium size bowl, add the 6 ounces of cream cheese, beat with an electric hand mixer or
wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy. Add 1 1/2 powdered sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, and
vanilla; beat until well mixed.
2. In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer with clean beaters, beat the whipping cream
until soft mounds form; add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and orange food coloring, continue
beating until thick and stiff.
3. Using a balloon type whisk or large rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the
cream cheese mixture.
4. Place one cooled cake layer on a cake plate. Use an offset spatula to spread about 1 1/2 cups
frosting over the top. Top with the remaining cake layer and use the remaining frosting for the
top and sides of cake. Spread the frosting as smooth as possible over the top and sides.
5. Refrigerate the cake at least one hour to stabilize the whipped cream before glazing.
Chocolate Glaze:
1. Place the chopped chocolates and butter in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. In a small heavy saucepan over medium low heat, heat the cream until it is hot and just
beginning to steam. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate
and butter is completely melted. Add corn syrup, stirring until completely mixed.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture into a pitcher, or liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout and let
chocolate glaze cool for 10 minutes. Do not let the glaze sit longer than 10 minutes because it
will thicken and become difficult to pour over the cake.
4. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake. Cover the top of the cake entirely, letting some of the glaze
drizzle down the sides, and allowing some of the frosting to show through the drizzles around
the side of the cake. Tip: If the glaze doesn’t flow easily it means it has cooled and thickened
too much. Either slightly reheat the glaze in a saucepan over low heat, or add an extra one or
two tablespoons of corn syrup.
5. Refrigerate the cake until the glaze is set and the frosting is firm, at least one hour.
6. To serve, slice the cake with a long serrated knife, cleaning the knife between each slice.
Refrigerate leftovers.

Heather Brice
Levy Life Learners, Senior
Directions Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (static) or 325°F (convection). Spray Bundt pan with non-stick cooking
spray and dust entire surface lightly with gluten free all-purpose flour.
2. Whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder and salt and set aside (or pour cake
mix into large bowl).
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and beat well with your mixer’s paddle
attachment, until the mixture is very light and fluffy (approximately 3-4 minutes). Add the eggs
next, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla with the last egg
addition. Slowly add the milk, alternating with the flour mixture and beating in between the
additions. Beat until smooth and pour into the prepared pans.
4. Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and then squeeze
chocolate syrup around in a ribbon design to cover much of the surface of the batter. Add more
or less of these chocolate ingredients depending on how much chocolate and bake for 45
minutes.
5. To test the cake for doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick in the middle and be sure it
comes out clean, with very few crumbs attached. The cake will also begin to pull away slightly
from the side of the pan. Add time if necessary to fully bake the cake.
6. When done, turn off the oven and leave the oven door open to let the cake cool slowly there for
5 minutes or so, then remove to a wire rack. After 15-20 minutes of total cooling time, gently
invert the cake to remove it from the pan, then flip gently back onto the cooling rack until fully
cooled.
Directions for Frosting:
1. Over medium heat, stir to combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan.
Continue whisking together until the mixture bubbles and the sugar has dissolved. Remove
from heat immediately (the mixture may start to brown, but do not allow it to cook to dark
brown or to burn).
2. Combine egg whites and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Slowly stir in the hot, cooked sugar mixture
with beaters on low. Increase mixer speed too high for 6 minutes, or until the frosting has
whipped to stiff peaks when tested with a rubber spatula.
3. Frost cake with a thick layer of marshmallow frosting, swirling designs using an off-set spatula
for added decoration
4. Crush gluten-free graham crackers and sprinkle on top of frosted cake, if desired.

Gooey Butter Cake
The Cake Doctor
Jackson Holder
Double Sink, Intermediates
Ingredients Crust:



1 Package (18.25 ounces) plain yellow cake mix
8 Tablespoon (1 stick) butter, melted
1 Large egg
Ingredients Filling:





1 Package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 Large eggs
1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
3 3/4 Cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Directions:
1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Set aside an ungreased
13x9 inch baking pan.
2. For the crust, place the cake mix, melted butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an
electric mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the
bowl with a rubber spatula. The batter should come together in a ball. With your fingertips, pat
the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan, smoothing it out with your fingers until the top is
smooth. Set the pan aside.
3. For the filling, place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl that was used to make the crust,
and with the same beaters (no need to clean either) blend with an electric mixer on low speed
until fluffy, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add the eggs, vanilla, and melted butter and beat
on medium speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and add the confectioner’s sugar. Beat on
medium speed until the sugar is well incorporated, 1 minute more. Stop the machine and
scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pour the filling onto the crust and
spread with the rubber spatula so that the filling covers the entire surface and reaches the sides
of the pan. Place the pan in the oven.
4. Bake the cake until it is well browned but the center still jiggles when you shake the pan, 45 to
47 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool, 30 minutes. Cut
into squares and serve.
*Store this cake, covered in aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator
for up to 1 week. Or freeze it, wrapped in foil for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the
refrigerator before serving.
