Funnel Cake

Funnel Cake Recipe

Ingredients

2 C Milk
1 Egg
1 tea Vanilla
2 C Flour
1 tea Salt
1 Tab Sugar
1/2 or 4 Tab Butter 
Powdered Sugar for topping

Mix together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Add melted butter. In another bowl combine flour, salt, and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer and add the flour mixture. 

Place in a squeeze bottle. If you don't have one, do what I did and use a small measuring cup. 

Heat oil to medium heat or around 350 degrees. Be careful when adding the batter as it will splatter. The squeeze bottle didn't work well for me and came out in smaller drops, not a thin line like needed. So I went with the measuring cup method. Fill a 1/2 C measuring cup with batter, clean off extra. Take over the heated oil and start pouring it in thin lines all over. Crossing and overlapping as you pour. 

Cook until golden brown on both sides. Not too dark. Top with powdered sugar, Nutella, or your favourite topping. 

Another fun treat you could do is Funnel Cake Ice Cream sandwiches. 
For this just make the cakes a bit smaller. Soften ice cream and add a scoop between two Funnel Cake layers!! So very easy and the kids love them! 

Red, White, and Blue Poke Cake for the Fourth of July!!

Every now and then you come across those recipes that are so delicious, it's a shame how simple they are to make!! For a flavor like that, we'd hope you spent all day in the kitchen, slaving away! Not with the next recipe, I'm going to share with you tonight. 

This is one that has been passed down from my Great Grandma and is I'm sure one of your soon to be family favorites. 

For the recipe you'll need:


2 round white cake layers (9 inches), cooled

2 cups boiling water, divided

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor 

Gelatin, or any other red flavor

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor 

Gelatin

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, 

thawed


How do you make it? 

Place cakes, top sides up, in clean 9-inch round pans; pierce with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals.

Add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor dry gelatin mix in separate small bowls; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour red gelatin over 1 cake, then pour blue gelatin over remaining cake. Refrigerate 3 hours.

Dip bottoms of cake pans in warm water 10 sec.; unmold cakes. Fill and frost cake layers with COOL WHIP. Refrigerate 1 hour.

The great thing about this recipe is you can make a number of different flavor syrups. I've seen this recipe done with Lemon, Blueberry, Strawberry, Orange, Coconut with Lemon the possibilities are endless!! 

I love this cake because not only is it pretty when completed but it tastes great and is a family favorite every year.
