Episode 5: Happy Birthday! A special episode about Cakes

from Dinner Sisters · host Dinner Sisters Podcast

Episode 5: Happy Birthday! A special episode about cake! Happy Birthday, Betsy! (and almost her whole family) We’ll celebrate her birthday with a special episode all about our favorite family birthday cakes. Our dad’s favorite, German Chocolate, makes an appearance and Betsy shares her new family tradition of a very pink strawberry cake. Kate talks about her childhood cake- the ice cream cake. We hope you saved room for dessert! Our birthday cakes... German Chocolate Cake Frosting A rich, buttery frosting that our dad requests every year isn’t a hard task. This combo of butter, coconut and pecans is a decadent topping for a mild chocolate cake. Our mom used a boxed mix for this cake - which is delicious. If you’d like to bake from scratch, see below for a link. Tips: Our mom's German Chocolate Cake Frosting This frosting is tricky to spread on the sides of a cake- best bet is to go “naked cake” style. The Original German Chocolate Cake (from Baker’s Chocolate) Strawberry Cake : Taste of Lizzy T This is a delicious and not-too-complicated birthday cake perfect for a spring birthday. The bright pink hue is festive and the taste is all about the strawberries. Tips: Have the birthday kid help decorate the top with sliced fresh strawberries. The strawberry jam in the frosting helps set and stabilize the frosting, making for a cake that can stand up to a long birthday party and go long on flavor. Swiss Roll Ice Cream Cake: Taste of Home Frozen Chocolate Oreo Cake: The Kitchn Kate’s Birthday Cake Kate nearly always had an ice cream cake for her birthday. Here are two that would be great for anyone’s birthday- summer or not. The third is our mom’s classic ice cream cake, as best as we can transcribe. Tips: Ice cream cake is all about assembly. Make sure the ice cream is soft enough to spread for the layers. Freeze HARD for sharp definition between layers. Make sure you have enough time for the last freeze for the entire cake. Overnight is ideal. Give the cake some time to thaw on the counter before slicing. Time can vary- from an hour in a cool room in winter to 15 minutes in a hot July kitchen.

Sie garantieren für nichts, au Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance!
