I am baking a cake for my son's first birthday and I can't find a chocolate cake recipe to feed 22 people. Can someone please help me? I am also looking for a white frosting recipe for the same cake.I need a cake recipe to feed 22 people.?
Here is a recipe for a Texas sheet cake that is delicious. Just omit the cocoa powder in the frosting recipe for a white frosting.


(Serves 24)





Cake:


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking soda


2 cups white sugar


1/2 cup butter


1/2 cup shortening


1 cup strong brewed coffee


1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder


1/2 cup buttermilk


2 eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla extract





Frosting:


1/2 cup butter


1/4 cup milk


1 teaspoon milk


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder


3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar





Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour jelly roll pan or line with parchment paper.





In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and white sugar. Set aside.





In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter, shortening, coffee, and 1/4 cup cocoa until boiling. Stir frequently. Pour chocolate mixture over flour and sugar. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread into jelly roll pan.





Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.





While cake bakes, prepare frosting. Combine 1/2 cup butter or margarine, milk and 2 tablespoons cocoa in a saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread warm frosting over cake as soon as it is taken from the oven. Cool.

I would bake sheet cakes. Layer them and add filling between layers. It may take two.

Dirt Cake





1 ea Flower pot


1 ea Garden trowel


3 ea Gummy worms (or plastic)


1 ea Plastic flowers, bunch


16 oz Oreo cookies


1/2 c Butter, softened


8 oz Cream cheese, softened


1 c Confectioner's sugar


1 ts Vanilla


2 pk Inst choc-fudge pudding(4oz


3 c Milk


12 oz Whipped topping,1 tub thawed





This is a joke, a bit of whimsy to lighten up your next party. The cake is really a quick mix dessert made with Oreo cookies and soft squishy stuff. The trick is to capture everyone's attention with an announcement of some sort, and as you are speaking, trowel out some of the dirt from the flower pot around the flowers and eat it. May be followed by a worm dug out of the ';dirt';. You may substitute vanilla pudding for the chocolate if you want, and use up to 20 oz of Oreos. Please use a clean new plastic flower pot or take the precaution of lining a clay pot with foil and wrap the stems of live flowers if you use them in order to prevent any toxins from entering the dessert. Crush the cookies until they resemble potting soil. Set aside. Cream the butter or margarine, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Set aside. Combine the pudding mix and milk until well blended. Then fold in the whipped topping. Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixtures together. To put the ';cake'; together, layer one-third of the cookie crumbs followed by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, 1/3 of the crumbs, the rest of the pudding mixture and topping with the balance of the crumbs. Refrigerate 10-12 hours before serving.





Remove from refrigerator, decorate with flowers.


Serve by digging out portions with the trowel.


Serves 10 to 12 (double to feed more).
Any cake mix, or 2 layer cake recipe,should fill a 9x13'; pan. You can cut 4 pieces down, and 8 pieces across, to get 24 pieces from it. But, it's nice to make a special small cake, or cupcake, for your son. It's a 1st birthday tradition with my daughter, that each child gets their own special little cake for their first birthday. That's usually the first time the baby has had cake and frosting, and you'll get some really cute photos.......
I would suggest 2 cakes and one small store bought cake for you son. Have you considered buying a cake? You can get really cute one that screen on images, like your son's baby picture and a picture of him today. They are only around $35. This would save time for you to concentrate on other items for the party.
Just double or triple the batch you are planning on making! (multiply all the ingredients by how many times you multiplied the batch)
