The Most Celebrated Cake Recipe
Here are the entries in The Most Celebrated Cake Recipe Contest. There's a nice range of cakes from very quick and easy to assemble to quite time consuming and mildly difficult to make. I've already tried three recipes, so far. I can tell it'll be hard to decide, which is the best one.
The votes will be tallied and posted on July 11th. Good luck and may the best cake win.
Karen says this recipe, made with sponge cake and hazelnuts, is based upon a cousins wedding cake. Her family also loved it with their New Year's Day meal.
Wanita's recipe "came about here on a day when long kitchen time wasn't possible and I wanted to fill my husband's love of chocolate eclairs." Her guests love this often made cake.
Julia says her grandmother's notes on the back of the recipe card say: "I had this recipe for a long time. Some spell the name "Cleveland" after the President and some spell it "Cleaveland." I guess because it cleaves to the pan, hence serving from pan." Julia's family loves to eat the cake right out of the pan.
