3 INGREDIENT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the interior of an 8 inch springform pan and then line it with parchment paper. (I used a round parchment paper for the bottom and then cut two strips to line the sides.)
• In a large mixing bowl, add eggs and sugar. Beat on highest speed with wire whisk for about 8 minutes or until mixture becomes very thick and turns a very pale (almost white) yellow. This can be done with a hand mixer or stand mixer. I used a stand mixer.
• Use a mesh strainer or flour sifter to sift in 1/3 of the flour. If you do not have a mesh strainer or sifter, you can use your hands to sprinkle the flour in. The goal is to break up the flour clumps when the flour is added so that it is easy to fold the flour into the egg mixture without deflating too much air from the egg mixture. Use a spatula to fold the flour into the egg mixture. Repeat with another 1/3 of the flour and then the final 1/3.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. The surface of the cake should be light brown and be a solid shell/crust over the cake. A toothpick inserted should come out clean (be careful when inserting the toothpick as you don't want to break the shell too much. It is very delicate and will crack easily).
• Let cake cool completely before removing. Decorate with powdered sugar and/or fresh fruit like strawberries.

THREE INGREDIENT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Choose any flavor cake mix. Example:spice cake mix Add 1 can pie filling. Example:apple Add 3 eggs (The picture is a lemon cake mix with a can of lemon pie filling.)
• 2. Put all in mixer and combine together. Pour mixture in greased and floured bundnt pan or tube pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes or until tested done.
• 3. I've used many different combinations of cake mix and pie fillings and it always turns out great. You can step the recipe up by adding nuts to the batter and by drizzling the top with a glaze such as powdered sugar and milk glaze. Want chocolate? I used a fudge cake mix and cherry pie filling and topped with powdered sugar glaze. Delicious!
