Sierra Mini Maple Cakes

 We always topped this Maple Cake with ice cream but everyone always commented on the texture. No one could ever figure out what we did to give the cake its original texture. Well, for the very first time, I will divulge that secret. We simply added toasted sesame seeds to the batter.

Ingredients needed to make Sierra Maple Cakes (makes 6 individual cakes):

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 Tbs. vanilla
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 and spray 6 mini-bundt cake pans with non-stick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and nutmeg.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form (see picture). Set the bowl aside.
4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and pale. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla until well combined.
5. Stir in the flour mixture and the toasted sesame seeds.
6. Add half of the egg whites and stir them into the batter.
7. Add the other half of the egg whites and fold them into the batter.
8. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. Place the pans on a baking sheet and then place them into the oven and bake about 45 minutes or until done.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans 10 minutes.
10. Remove the cakes from the pans and let cool on a rack until ready to serve.

Triple Berry Summer Buttermilk Bundt

Adapted from Rustic Fruit Desserts

Although I made these with the 3 cups of berries listed below (using one cup each of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries, though currants or huckleberries or whatever you can get would also be delicious) I think this cake has the potential to be even more of a “berry bomb” with a fourth cup of berries. The cake as written below is full of berries, but it’s a balanced amount — they don’t overwhelm the cake, and I do really like a cake that’s almost overwhelmed with fruit.


Cake
2 1/2 cups (355 grams) plus 2 tablespoons (20 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
1 cup (8 ounces or 225 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups (340 grams) granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup (175 ml) buttermilk
3 cups (350 to 450 grams) mixed berries
Glaze
2 cups (240 grams) powdered or confections’ sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon (15 grams) unsalted butter, very, very soft


Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan, either with butter or a nonstick spray.* Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk or sift 2 1/2 cups flour (leaving 2 tablespoons back), baking powder and salt together and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and impossibly fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, with the mixer on a low speed, add your eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Beat in vanilla, briefly. Add 1/3 flour mixture to batter, beating until just combined, followed by half the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining buttermilk and remaining flour mixture. Scrape down from time to time and don’t mix any more than you need to. In the bowl where you’d mixed your dry ingredients, toss the berries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. With a silicon spatula, gently fold the berries into the cake batter. The batter will be very thick and this will seem impossible without squishing the berries a little, but just do your best and remember that squished berries do indeed make for a pretty batter.
Spread cake batter — you might find it easier to plop it in the pan in large spoonfuls, because it’s so thick — in the prepared baking pan and spread the top smooth. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, rotating the cake 180 degrees after 30 (to make sure it browns evenly). The cake is done as soon as a tester comes out clean of batter. At 10 minutes before my baking time was up, a tester was totally wet with batter and I was certain it would never be done in the estimated time. 7 minutes later, the same tester was clean as a whistle, so fret not.
Set cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, before inverting the cake onto a serving platter to cool the rest of the way. Cool completely. Once cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and butter until smooth and very, very thick. (If you’d like it thinner, add more juice, but I like the thick drippiness of it, seen above.) Spread carefully over top of cake, letting it trickle down the sides when and where it wishes. Serve at once or keep it covered at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
* Updated note, due to comments about cake sticking: If you have a nonstick Bundt, just a coat of butter or nonstick spray should do. However, if you have a regular Bundt, not nonstick coated, you’re really going to want to make sure every nook and cranny is well-coated with butter or even shortening (the solidity of both helps them stick to the cake walls), and then dust the inside with flour. Setting your cake pan in the fridge or freezer (to set the coating even further) while you make the cake batter will provide even more insurance. I hope this improves the release rate of the cake!

Rainy Day Desserts........Oreo Pudding Parfaits

Okay, so I hate artificial flavorings, things made with preservatives, and anything with hydrogenated oils. But sometimes, if the kids and I are at one of  the super store monstrosities, and buying three week’s worth of groceries, I usually will let loose and buy my two favorite kinds of junk food: Doritos and Oreo flavored Jell-o.
Now, I cannot tell you any secret for Doritos—that is a trade secret combination of spices, MSG, and unmentionable deliciousness—but I have come up with my own version of Oreo pudding, which my kids and I have deemed quite good in its own right.

Oreo Pudding Parfaits
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
5 egg yolks
6 tablespoons dark cocoa powder (Hershey’s Special Dark or some other brand processed with Alkali)
3 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
whipped cream (recipe follows)
6 Oreo cookies (or,since you’re making this from scratch, I recommend the Newman-O’s organic)


Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, bring the milk almost to a boil. Meanwhile, whisk sugar and egg yolks until pale yellow, smooth, and it falls in ribbons. Whisk in cocoa powder and corn starch.
2. Whisk in hot milk, a half a cup at a time until mixture is warm to the touch. Pour entire mixture back into the saucepan and whisk constantly until pudding starts to thicken and it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
3. Pull off the heat and add in cream and vanilla. Spoon a small amount into 6 glass serving cups. Refrigerate while you make the whipped cream. Divide the whipped cream among the glasses (reserving a little extra for garnish). Top with remaining pudding. Garnish each with a dollop of whipped cream and a crushed oreo cookie.


Whipped cream
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Pudding Cakes With Chantilly Cream & Fresh Berry sauce

 

 

 This recipe is from Chef Cindy Pawlcyn

 Individual buttermilk pudding cakes with fresh berry sauce and chantilly cream are a graceful endnote to a seasonal meal. "I've been making these since I was 16," says chef Pawlcyn. "They're relatively healthy, and I like the colors."
 

Servings: Serves 8

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter , melted

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar

• 2 pints fresh berries (can be a mixture)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 Tbsp. triple sec liqueur
• Confectioners' sugar , for garnish (optional)

Directions

To make cakes: Preheat oven to 350°. Separate egg yolks from whites; set both aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and 2/3 cup sugar. Add lemon juice, zest, and buttermilk; whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and egg yolks. Stir egg yolk mixture into lemon-buttermilk mixture.

Using whisk attachment of a mixer, whip egg whites until frothy. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar, and whip until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
Fold egg whites into the yolk-and-buttermilk mixture. The batter should be smooth and thick.

Pour batter into 8 individual (4-ounce) ramekins. Arrange them in a small roasting pan; add water to pan so that it goes halfway up sides of the ramekins. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until batter is slightly brown and beginning to crack but still jiggly. Cool to room temperature.

To make chantilly cream: Start while cakes are in the oven. In a bowl, whip together heavy cream, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Keep chilled until needed.

To make berry topping: In a medium bowl, mash berries until well broken up but not pureed. Spoon them evenly onto cooled cakes in ramekins. Sprinkle each cake with sugar and drizzle with triple sec. Finish cakes with a dollop of chantilly cream and a dusting of confectioners' sugar; serve..... Applause! Applause!

A Good Poem Needs...By Jake..13 yrs old...My Grandson

This poem is a riddle...

A good poem needs a start,
It does not need to be art.
It needs to have a middle.
It can even be a riddle.
It needs to have an end.
It can be about a friend.
It can be about a loved one
Or be about having fun.
It can be about somone dead
Or just be good to read in bed.
It can be about someone alive
Or about something you need to thrive.
It does not need to rhyme
It can take a little or loads of time.
A good poem needs what everyone feeds.
