Categories: Cake Jewish
Yield: 4 Servings
| CAKE | ||
| 1 | pk | Pillsbury Plus White Cake Mx |
| 1 1/4 | c | Water |
| 1/3 | c | Oil |
| 3 | x | Eggs |
| ICING | ||
| 2 | tb | Amaretto (optional) |
| 3 | c | Powdered Sugar |
| 1/4 | c | Water |
| 3 | tb | Light Corn Syrup |
| 2 | tb | Margarine, melted |
| 1/2 | ts | Vanilla |
| 1/4 | ts | Almond Extract |
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 15x10" jelly roll pan. Prepare cake mix according to pkg. directions. (Don't use extra ingredients listed under cake--these are part of cake mix directions, so don't use twice!!) Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool.Brush top of cake with amaretto. (I didn't use any Amaretto.) To avoid cake crumbs, freeze cake for 1 hour before cutting. Cut cake into pieces using metal cookie cutters. (I have used Chanukah cookie cutters and Double Heart cutters.) After you have cut shapes, return to freezer. (At this point, mine are on cooling racks and I put cooling racks right into freezer as is.) Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine remaining icing ingredients (again, I left out the Amaretto). Blend at low speed until powdered sugar is moistened. Beat at highest speed until smooth. If necessary, add 2-3 tsps. water until icing is of desired consistency. : 02/14/92 3:40 PM Set cake pieces on cooling racks under which you've placed waxed paper. Spoon icing evenly over top and sides of cake pieces. (Icing which drips off can be reused.) Decorate as you would like. I tinted pink for Valentines Day, and sprinkled with pink decorator sugar. Then, I made up a batch of chocolate hearts and placed one on each side of double heart. The recipe says you can get 20-24 petit fours. This time I only got 4--depends on how big your cookie cutters are, but don't make too small. NOTE: Make sure icing is not too thick--want it medium to thin so it will drip!!
