Best Sherry Cake Or Sand Cake Recipes

MOM'S SHERRY CAKE

Steps:

• (This recipe has three separate portions to combine together: the cake, the cinnamon mixture, and the frosting.) Combine cake ingredients and mix for 5 minutes in mixer on medium speed.
• Combine cinnamon mixture.
• Butter the sides and bottom of Bundt or angel food tin.
• Sprinkle part of cinnamon mixture into pan covering sides and bottom.
• Then pour cake batter into pan in three alternating layers with cinnamon mixture, ending with cinnamon mixture.
• Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, checking to make sure the sugar on the outside of the cake does not burn.
• Let cool; place on serving plate.
• Mix together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a "drizzly" consistency of frosting, then drizzle over the sides (both inside and outsides).
• Let frosting set before serving.
• Note: if your oven runs hot, you might want to try baking for 35 minutes to begin with, then remove cake from oven and taste-check a portion of the cake which doesn't show easily (such as the inner ring) to make sure the sugar coating isn't burning and the cake isn't drying out.

• Pour into well greased bundt pan and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
• Let cool for 15-20 mins before removing from bundt pan.
• While cooling I sometimes mix some of the (1/4 cup) powdered sugar and some extra sherry (1/2 cup) poke holes in cake with a chopstick and drizzle while still in pan.
• Turn out pan onto cooling rack and dust lightly with powdered sugar.

PERFECT SAND CAKE

Steps:

• Put the oil in electric mixer bowl, put in sugar, beat the mixture until blended.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mix yogurt with water.
• Add flour in thirds alternating with yogurt and water mixture.
• Add baking powder, baking soda and one of the variations mentioned above (or you can be creative and add whatever you like).
• Pour the cake mixture (the mixture shouldn't be thick, it is almost watery in consistency).
• In greased, floured cake pan (I prefer the one with the whole in the middle or a loaf pan for easy cutting).
• Put the cake in COLD oven, set the heat at 180°C, let the cake in the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cake from the oven,let it sit for about 10 minutes, remove from pan.
• Let the cake cool on wire rack (or I put the cake in plastic bag and close it while the cake in it so the outer surface of the cake won't be hard, it will be soft instead.
• Optional: You may sprinkle icing sugar on the face before cutting into pieces.
• Serve the cake with orange juice, coffee or hot tea.
