Like quick breads, cakes are a cinch with the Home Bakery! They can quickly be mixed and baked in
this machine, without time-consuming preparation or difficult mixing techniques.
The cake recipes in this section will result in cakes about 3 to 4 inches in height, similar to the quick
breads. They can be served with just a sprinkling of icing sugar over the top or frosted with one of our
suggested toppings. Note that cakes should be cooled completely on a rack before slicing for best
results.
Creating Your Own Cake Recipes in the Home Bakery
Follow these hints for cake baking success:
• Cakes such as angel food cake or recipes that require long beating of eggs or other ingredients are not
suited to the Home Bakery.
• Recipes for one layer or 9 x 5 inch loaf cakes can usually be made in the Home Bakery and will fit the
capacity of the baking pan.
• One bowl cakes or “dump” cakes, in which all ingredients are measured and then mixed are prime
candidates for the Home Bakery. Two layer or 13 x 9 inch cake recipes can often be halved to fit the
capacity of the baking pan.
• Coffee cakes, which are actually quick breads are usually successfully made in the Home Bakery.
• The “CAKE” setting is the only course that can be used for cake recipes made in the Home Bakery.
The “MEMORY”, “TIMER”, “BAKING DEGREE” and “HOME MADE MENU” functions can not
be programmed for use with cake recipes.
CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE
This rich tasting chocolate cake could not be
simpler! Frost cake or slice it plain to serve
topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit. Or,
try our Black Forest variation.
1 cup (3-1/2 ounces) self raising flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
When beep sounds, add:
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Method
Into baking pan measure flour, cocoa powder,
sugar, oil, eggs, water and vanilla essence in
that order. Insert pan securely into unit and
close lid. Select “CAKE” setting and press
“START”.
When “beep” sounds after about 5 minutes,
open lid. Add chocolate chips to batter. Close
lid and press “START” again. The
“COMPLETE” light will flash when cake is
done.
Using oven gloves, remove pan from unit and
pull out kneading rod. Turn cake onto cooling
rack and cool completely before cutting. Frost
or sprinkle with sifted icing sugar as desired.
BLACK FOREST CAKE
This easy variation on our “Chocolate Fudge
Cake” is pretty enough to serve to guests.
1 chocolate fudge cake, baked as directed
2 tablespoons kirsch or cherry liqueur
(optional)
1 packet chocolate fudge flavour frosting mix
1 can black cherries
Method
Slice completely cooled cake horizontally into
three layers. If desired, sprinkle liqueur over
cake layers. Place one layer on cake plate and
spread with some of the frosting. Top with
second layer of cake and spread with some of
the frosting. Add third layer on top. Frost
sides of cake with remaining frosting, forming
an edge all around top of cake. Fill in top of
cake with black cherries (reserve any leftover
to pass with each serving). Cut cake into thin
slices. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
