CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK LAYER CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE PUDDING FROSTING

Steps:

• Make the cake:
• Line the bottom of 3 buttered 8-inch round (2-inch-deep) cake pans with wax paper, butter the paper, and dust the pans with flour, knocking out the excess. Into a bowl sift together the flour, the cocoa powder, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together the sugar and the butter until the mixture is combined well, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and beating well after each addition, divide the batter among the pans, smoothing the tops, and bake the layers in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the layers cool in the pans on racks for 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of each pan, invert the layers onto the racks, and let them cool completely. The cake layers may be made 2 days in advance and kept chilled, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
• Make the frosting:
• In a heavy saucepan whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and the chocolate and whisk in the boiling water. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly, and simmer it, whisking, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the liqueur, transfer the mixture to a metal bowl, and with an electric mixer beat in the butter, beating until the butter is incorporated. Set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and beat the frosting until it is light and holds soft peaks.
• Assemble the cake:
• On a cake stand arrange 1 cake layer, spread the top with some of the frosting, and top the frosting with a second cake layer. Spread the second layer with some of the remaining frosting and top the frosting with the remaining layer. Spread the side and top of the cake with the remaining frosting. The cake may be assembled 4 hours in advance and kept at room temperature.

BUTTERMILK BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Place bread in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, cream of coconut, coconut, preserves, sugar and cinnamon. Pour mixture over bread cubes. Let stand for 15 minutes or until bread is softened. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean., In a large bowl, beat the cream, sour cream, caramel topping and rum until soft peaks form. Serve with warm or cooled bread pudding. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired.

BUTTERMILK PUDDING WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl and set aside. Don't worry if the gelatin actually "gels" while you are warming the cream! It completely dissolves once it's placed in the warm cream.
• Put the whipping cream and sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat only until the sugar has dissolved; do NOT scald! Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and add the gelatin to the warm cream mixture. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved. This will take a couple of minutes of stirring with a wooden spoon until the gelatin is completely incorporated into the warm cream.
• Allow cream to come to room temperature. I have successfully held the pan over a bowl filled with cold ice water, stirring constantly, to reduce the temperature faster.
• Once the cream has cooled to room temperature, add the buttermilk and stir well until thoroughly combined. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pourable container that can hold 4 cups, to catch any bits of undissolved gelatin.
• Pour the mixture into ramekins, about 1/2 cup per ramekin (the pudding is very rich). Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and chill to set for at least three hours. At the 1st hour, this is still liquid; at the 2nd hour, it begins to set and by the 3rd hour, it's sheer perfection.
• Serve as is for a refreshing and light dessert, with a few fresh berries on top, or layered in a parfait glass with berries.

Continue to slowly incorporate the rest of the warm milk, ladle by ladle, into the yolk mixture until thoroughly combined.

Pour the warm pudding into a large heatproof bowl and let cool for 5 minutes before whisking in the buttermilk. Place plastic wrap over the pudding, gently pressing the wrap to touch the top of the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using.
• Prepare the cookie layer: Add the salted butter to a large sauté pan or deep skillet and melt over medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until the butter begins to foam. Once the butter gives off a nutty scent and darkens to a caramel-like color, about 4 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the wafers. Toss the Nilla Wafers to coat them with butter. Set aside.
• Prepare the whipped cream: Whip 1½ cups heavy cream in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer on medium-high until it forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the sour cream. Turn the mixer on low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Once incorporated, whip on high until the cream has formed soft peaks again. Set aside.

MOIST YELLOW BUTTERMILK CAKE FROM SCRATCH WITH PUDDING & COOL WHIP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9" round cake pans and set aside. Sift the flour, salt, soda and baking powder into a medium-sized bowl and set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla. Beat in 1 egg at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding the next. Add approximately ⅓ of the dry ingredients, stir to combine then add ½ of the buttermilk and repeat the process, ending with the final ⅓ of the dry ingredients. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are completely combined. Divide the batter equally into 2 prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center pulls out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Remove the cakes to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing the cakes from the pans and cooling completely on the rack. While the cakes are cooling, whip the Cool Whip together with the milk and vanilla. Add the instant pudding mix and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy. When the cakes have cooled, spread ¾ cup icing on only the top surface of the first cake. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining icing. Cut the cake into large slices and enjoy! Note: Melted, rather than softened, butter can cause holes to form in your cake, known as 'tunneling.' It is best to set your butter out to allow it to reach room temperature on its own.
