Cakes like a bit of care and attention, just follow a few simple rules to improve your cakes...
General: Follow the cake recipe strictly as even a small deviation can alter the end result. Leave experimentation until you feel confident with the recipe... and then have some fun playing around with it! It is particularly important to be precise with raising agents. Don't be tempted to add a little extra for good luck. The extra may cause the cake to rise too much and then go flat.
Sieving: I have never done this, but heard it makes the cake extra-light if you sieve the flour twice. Not strictly necessary, but worth trying if you have time.
Mixing: When you are mixing the cake batter, do not overmix. Mix everything in well, but stop as soon as the mixture looks evenly combined. I like to whisk my batter and find this works well, but always keeping an eye on the batter. I use a spoon to stir my carrot cake and fruit cake mix because they are too thick to whisk.
Baking: Make sure the oven is pre-heated to the correct temperature before the cake goes in. Usually cakes needs turning halfway through baking time, but if your oven bakes super-evenly, there is no need. if you turn the cake, do it as quickly as possible so that the oven door isn't open for too long... and don't open the oven door any more than you need to (once to turn the cake) or the cake may go flat as they are sensitive to oven changes.
And finally... a simple recipe for lemon cake to try: Lemon Cake
350 ml soya milk
170 ml vegetable oil
200g caster sugar
� tsp vanilla essence
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
350g plain flour
3� teaspoons baking powder
1. Pre-heat oven to 175C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Grease a 7 inch round tin (or for a traybake use a tray about 10" x 8").
3. Place the soya milk, oil, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest in a large bowl and whisk thoroughly.
4. Measure out the flour and baking powder. Give a good stir to combine.
5. Sift the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix well to combine. Whisk if necessary).
6. Pour the mixture into your tin and bake for 50-60 minutes (7" cake) or 35 minutes (traybake) or until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
7. Top with icing and sprinkle grated lemon zest on top to decorate and also enhance the lemony flavour.

Create a Cookbook - 5 Reasons Why It Is a Good Idea
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=I_Rudd]I Rudd
A lot of people would like to create a cookbook. Their own cookbook, filled with their choice of recipes, making it easy to find their favourite ones when they want to.
Here are 5 reasons why it is a good idea.
1. You can organise your recipe collection.
Most people have recipes that they have collected over the years and have put aside to use again at a later time. These could be hand written, cut out of a magazine or ripped out of a newspaper. They are then put in a box or folder and this is put in a cupboard or drawer. Some may even get lost. If you create a cookbook you can get all these recipes together and organise them in some way. You can then have this cookbook in the kitchen to make it easy and quick to find your favourite recipes. You will then use them more often and they will not get lost or forgotten.
2. You can collect family favourites.
Most people have recipes that are family favourites. Recipes that they had as kids or learned from their parents or grandparents. Maybe their own kids have favourite things they eat. When you create a cookbook and base it on family recipes, you can keep those recipes alive and not have them lost to the family. You can collect recipes from all parts of the family and you can share them with all of the family.
3. You can personalise the cookbook.
You can add your own features to the cookbook as you add your recipes. You could add pictures of the food or of the region or area that the recipe comes from. You may just want to add family pictures if that is what you would like in the book. You could also add comments about the history of the dish or tips on how to make it that you have picked up over time. You can also choose a cover to make it more appealing.
4. You can use it as a fundraiser.
It is a popular way to raise funds for many groups or organisations. Particularly in these modern, electronic times. You could create a cookbook based on a theme of the organisation, getting recipes from members, and then sell them to raise money. It may be home cooked meals, budget meals or an ethnic theme. Anything is possible.
5. You can give it away as a gift.
A cookbook is something that nearly all people enjoy. A personal cookbook as a gift will be appreciated for what is in it and for the thought that goes with it. You could match the recipes to the recipient or you could share your recipes with them. You could also make it a mixture of both. As they say, it is the thought that counts.
If you create a cookbook you create a unique thing that may reflect your tastes. You can fill it with your favourites and find them quickly when you need them. You can also give it away as a personal or family gift, having made it suit the people you give it to.

1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

The Best Chili Recipe In The World Plus Great Information About Chili
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Thomas_Byers]Thomas Byers
Chili Con Carne is one of my favorite chili recipes ever and one that I love to cook often. In case you're wondering in Spanish the name means chili pepper with meat. You will find that most versions of chili con carne contain garlic, onions, chili peppers, cumin, ground beef and beans. In Texas it's almost a sin to put beans in chili but here we are going to add red kidney beans. Which are delicious in this wonderful version of the dish.
Have you ever wondered where chili came from. Well I can tell you. The first bowls of chili were most likely cooked up by chuck wagon cooks out on Texas cattle drives. After all one thing that Texas is famous for is chili.
The first San Antonio Chili Stand was in operation at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. And it was that even that helped to spread chili and chili con carne all over the United States and other parts of the world. In 1977 Chili Con Carne was named the official dish of Texas by the Texas Legislature.
The next most important question about chili is beans. Should those beans be in the chili or should they not. Believe it or not but there are people in Texas who would fight you if you tried to put the beans in. But there are others who love the beans in the chili.
President Johnson was one of the biggest fans of Chili ever. And here is a recipe for President Johnson's favorite dish which incidentally did not contain beans.
President Johnson's Chili
1. Four Pounds Of Course Ground Beef., ( Have four pounds brisket course ground for best results )
2. One Large Sweet Onion Diced Up Very Fine.
3. Two Tablespoons Minced Fresh Garlic.
4. One Teaspoon Dried Oregano.
5. One Teaspoon Powdered Cumin.
6. Two Tablespoons Chili Powder.
7. One Twenty Eight Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes.
8. Ground Sea Salt To Taste.
9. Four Cups Beef Broth.
You will want to start with browning your meat, onion, and garlic in a large skillet and when all the meat is brown you will want to drain off all the juices. Drain it in a colander and stir it around with a spoon to get all the juices to drain away.
Put your meat, onions, garlic, and all the rest of the ingredients into a large stock pot and stir well to make sure everything is well mixed.
Bring almost to a boil but not quite. Turn the heat down to a low simmer and cook at least one hour stirring often. This chili is always better the second day after it is cooked. Resist the urge to cook this chili recipe in a crock pot as it will never turn out right.
And here is my award winning recipe for a chili that I have won many ribbons, trophies, and cash prizes with. Again this chili is not for the crock pot as it needs to cook down so it will come together for you and have the most wonderful of flavors.
Three Bean Chili Recipe.
1. One 15 Ounce Can Of Pinto Beans Drained And Rinsed Well.
2. One 15 Ounce Can Of Black Beans Drained And Rinsed Well.
3. One 15 Ounce Can Of White Kidney Beans Drained And Rinsed Well.
4. One Four Ounce Can Of Green Chilies.
5. One Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper.
6. One Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt.
7. One Twenty Eight Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes.
8. Four Cups Beef Broth.
9. One Pound Lean Ground Beef.
10. One Pound Bulk Italian Sausage.
11. One Cup Fine Diced Sweet Onion.
12. One Cup Fine Diced Celery.
13. One Cup Fine Diced Red And Green Bell Peppers.
14. Four Twelve Ounce Cans Of Your Favorite Beer.
15. One Fourth Cup Chili Powder.
16. One Six Ounce Can Tomato Paste.
You will want to start by cooking your onion, celery, and peppers in a little vegetable oil until the vegetables are done. Pour them into a large stock pot and set aside.
Now put your lean ground beef and Italian Sausage into a large skillet. Cook your meat and break your Italian Sausage up into very small pieces. You want to cook your meat until it is brown and then add it and any juices to the stock pot.
Now add all your other ingredients to the stock pot and bring the contents of the pot almost up to a boil but not quite. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue to cook at least three hours on low heat until the liquid reduces. If the ingredients in the pot get to thick add another cup of beef broth.
If your worried about the alcohol in the beer don't be as it will cook out during the cooking time. You will just be left with the flavor. And oh what a wonderful flavor this chili will have. If you just don't want to use beer at all for some reason use an equal amount of apple cider.
Be sure that you wash and drain all your beans very well. As you're using cooked beans from the can you won't have to worry about your beans getting done. What you do want to make sure you do is to cook down your chili until the liquid reduces stirring often. This is really one of the most important things you do when you make this rel=nofollow [http://crazyhorsesghost.hubpages.com/hub/Quick-And-Easy-Chili-With-Beans]chili.
I hope you enjoy these two wonderful chili recipes. If you will follow the recipes and cook your chili down to reduce the liquid either recipe will turn out wonderful.
Consider serving bowls of salsa, sliced jalapeno peppers, sour cream, guacamole, and taco chips on the side so each person can fix their bowl of chili how they like it.
Thomas Byers has been a working Chef for over thirty years now and he has been a Executive Chef at some of the finest restaurants in the south. For about the last thirty years he has also been trying to come up with the best chili recipe in the world.

What you do want to make sure you do is to cook down your chili until the liquid reduces stirring often. This is really one of the most important things you do when you make this rel=nofollow [http://crazyhorsesghost.hubpages.com/hub/Quick-And-Easy-Chili-With-Beans]chili.
I hope you enjoy these two wonderful chili recipes. If you will follow the recipes and cook your chili down to reduce the liquid either recipe will turn out wonderful.
Consider serving bowls of salsa, sliced jalapeno peppers, sour cream, guacamole, and taco chips on the side so each person can fix their bowl of chili how they like it.

Gumbo Is One of the All Time Favorite Cajun Recipes
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mary_Llewellyn]Mary Llewellyn
Now that we've discussed what Cajun cuisine is, let's talk about one of the all time favorite Cajun recipes... Gumbo!
It is sort of like a very thick stew, which is served over rice. All gumbos start with a dark roux, which adds a delicious, unmistakable, rich flavor. Almost always okra is used, it adds a nice flavor but also serves to thicken the gumbo. Experiment with different meats and vegetables until you find a combination that suits your taste, a good starting point would be onions, celery, bell peppers, okra, chicken, and sausage (or seafood if you prefer). Remember that successful dishes are dependent upon having good quality fresh ingredients, and time enough to prepare them without being rushed. To make a truly scrumptious pot of Gumbo will be an all day affair. Now I'll share my favorite recipe for Gumbo with you here:
You must prepare this broth recipe before you begin making the gumbo.
broth ingredients: 1 turkey carcass (leftover from Thanksgiving is perfect) or 2 chicken leg quarters, 3 stalks (ribs) of celery cut into 4 inch pieces, 2 medium onions quartered, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon black peppercorns or black pepper, 4 bay leaves, approximately 1/2 gallon water
Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer at least two hours until everything is very tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to ensure about four cups of broth. Remove from the heat and let cool, at least an hour. Then strain through a large colander, and reserve the broth. Remove all the bones from the meat and vegetables mix, and set aside also.
* note that gumbo is served over hot cooked rice, and I find it convenient to make during the last half hour while the gumbo is simmering *
gumbo ingredients: 3/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 2 chopped onions, 1 chopped sweet bell pepper (red, yellow, and/or green), 1 stalk celery chopped, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or any red pepper), 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa chopped, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 6 green onions chopped (scallions), reserved broth, meat and vegetables.
Combine the oil and flour in a large heavy pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring slowly and constantly with a heavy wooden spoon for 30 to 60 minutes until you have a dark brown roux the color of chocolate. It will be very thick and you'll be tempted to add water, but don't do it as that will ruin this thickening agent (roux). Meanwhile, in a large bowl season the fresh onions, bell peppers, and celery with the salt and red pepper, then set aside. When your roux is dark and ready, add the seasoned vegetables to it and stir to coat, then add the sausage and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring to coat well. Now add the cooled broth, the reserved meat and vegetables, and cajun seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about one hour. Then add the parsley and green onions, and cook an additional 30 minutes or so, to combine all the flavors. The longer you simmer this the thicker it will get, you're looking for a consistency thicker than soup but thinner than gravy. When it's as thick as you like, turn the heat off and if needed, adjust the seasonings to taste.
The best way to serve up this deliciousness is to spoon some hot cooked buttered rice into the bottom of a large soup bowl then ladle the gumbo goodness up on top. This serves six generously.
Mary LLewellyn is interested in cooking, specifically Cajun cuisine.

Hamburgers - Recipes for Hamburger Specialties Around the World
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Maria_Antoniet_Fornillos]Maria Antoniet Fornillos
The most luscious hamburgers are made with the freshest ground beef, lamb, poultry, fish, or even vegetables that offer a truly gratifying indulgence. Although the same basic principles apply to all burgers, different cultures make different hamburger traditions, and whether they happen to be Turkey's cheeseburgers, Sweden's Kyottbullar, or Berlin's meat burgers, the only way to know exactly how good each of them taste is to try the hamburger recipes.
Bori-Bori Burgers
A South American specialty, this recipe for hamburger combines lamb and corn.

Fabulous Beer Bread Recipes
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Angelica_Florin]Angelica Florin
Breads come in different types; there are those that taste sweet, salty or nutty. The texture of the bread also varies; it may be soft, crunchy or crusty. When making bread, you can add in some pureed vegetables or fruits to give the bread an interesting aroma and taste. In some bread recipes, alcohol is a part of the ingredients. It may seem quite absurd to add alcohol in the batter; however, the taste is quite interesting and delightful.
In making beer bread, you can use dark or stout beer; this will give the bread a dark brown colour. You can also use spiced or flavoured beer; the bread will have the similar taste but less intense than plain beer. When it comes to flavouring for the bread, you can add dill, cheddar, garlic and feta. These will definitely make the bread delectable and savoury.
If you are interested in making beer bread, you should check out these recipes. You will find these bread recipes easy to make, which make them ideal for every day meals.

Self-rising flour - 3 cups
Melted margarine - 1/4 cup
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, grease the baking pan. Use a mixing bowl to blend all the ingredients, except for the margarine. Combine well and remove lumps.

You can also check if the bread is ready by tapping the top; once you hear a hollow sound, you can already turn off the heat. Let the bread cool for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Whole Wheat Bread with Beer

Ingredients
All purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
Baking powder - 4 1/2 teaspoons
Whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 cups

Salt - 1 1/2 teaspoons
Beer - 1 can
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before greasing the baking pan lightly. Then, combine all the dry ingredients.

Afterward, transfer the batter into the baking pan. Bake the dough for about 60 minutes, or until the bread is set. After cooking, place the bread on a wire rack to let it cool for 10 minutes.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Linda_Carol_Wilson]Linda Carol Wilson
When the gang gathers to watch the big game, we all know they can go through a lot of food! Whether you are entertaining the game watchers at your house or taking a dish to theirs, here are some excellent recipes for snacking. Also perfect for game nights and other gatherings and parties. All of these recipes will be hits with the crowd.
MEXICAN CHEESE BITES
1 1/2 cup baking mix (ie Bisquick)
1/4 cup dairy sour cream
1 egg
1 can chopped green chilies, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix baking mix, sour cream, egg and chilies together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Serve with taco sauce or salsa, if desired.
Yield: 4 dozen
BRAUNSWEIGHER BALL
This is an old hand written recipe I came across of my late mother's. It was good to see her hand writing again. She always had beautiful handwriting and I really missed that after she had a stroke and was paralized on her right side.
1 lb braunsweigher at room temp
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp onion soup mix
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Mix the first 5 ingredients and shape into a ball. Place in freezer for about 30 minutes until firm enough to handle. Frost in the cream cheese and roll in the Cheddar cheese.
OLD FASHION CARAMEL CORN
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp salt
unsalted popcorn
Combine the sugar, water, and vinegar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and boil to the soft ball stage. Add the butter, molasses, and salt and boil to the hard crack stage. Remove from heat and pour immediately over the unsalted popcorn in a large heat-proof bowl. Stir to coat all the popcorn.
NUT CAKE
This is a 1950s recipe from my hometown in Southern Indiana. It is delicious served warm without frosting. If you prefer frosting, I would suggest just using a glaze. For those who have a sweet tooth but you don't want to serve something overly sweet, this cake is perfect.
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp vanilla
Cream shortening and sugar together; add the eggs and beat well. Mix and sift together flour and baking powder and add alternately with milk. Stir in the nuts mixed with one teaspoon of flour. Add the vanilla. Bake in a greased loaf pan in a moderate oven (350) 45-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in pan and then turn out on cooling rack.
Enjoy!
