\"baking\"<\/a>Sometimes you\u2019re on a culinary deadline and you feel like you just gotta cut a few corners. You try to justify why buying a, gasp, store bought cake is ok when really what you should be doing is utilizing these one bowl recipes that make home made even easier than running to the store.<\/p>\n

The following recipes take less than 10 minutes to whip up and clean up. You can make them in an electric mixing bowl or by hand, either way, they are simple enough for a 10 year old with a desire to help in the kitchen to make without supervision freeing you up to do what you do best, 27 things at once.<\/p>\n

One-Bowl White Cake with\u00a0Cream Cheese Frosting (dairy)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ingredients<\/span>:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 2 cups flour<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\u00bc cup sugar<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/em><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup butter or margarine, softened<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 cup milk<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 2 eggs<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Frosting<\/span>:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • 8 oz.\u00a0cream cheese, room temperature<\/em><\/li>\n
    • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature<\/em><\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla<\/em><\/li>\n
    • 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra if the frosting is too thin<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions<\/span>:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n
      2. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans. In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.<\/li>\n
      3. Add the butter, milk, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the eggs and mix for 2 to 3 minutes to make sure everything is combined (you can do this in the bowl of an electric mixer if you like)\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n
      4. Pour the batter equally into the greased and floured pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.<\/li>\n
      5. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before you remove them from the pans to cool on cooling racks.<\/li>\n
      6. Frost when cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Cream Cheese Frosting<\/span>:<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. In a bowl (I typically do this with a hand held electric mixer in the bowl I made the cake in) combine the cream cheese and butter and mix until light and fluffy, gradually beating in the butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.<\/li>\n
        2. Slowly add the powdered sugar while beating until you have the consistency you like. You may need to add a bit more powdered sugar if the consistency is too thin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
