Devil's food cake has been a chocolate lover's delight since it was invented in the early 20th century. But it has an even greater significance for James Beard Award-nominated chef Gregory Leon, who owns Amilinda in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Leon's mother made a devil's food cake for him every year on his birthday before she died when he was just 19. Now, he bakes it for himself annually on the first day of August. (See the video at the top of this article.) Not only is that his birthday, it's also the anniversary of the day his restaurant opened. Leon spent his early childhood in his father's native Venezuela, he said. He didn't have any connection to Milwaukee when he moved there in 2012 after 18 years in San Francisco. Chef Gregory Leon's devil's food cake is a birthday tradition that reminds him of his mother, he told Fox News Digital. (Gregory Leon) "I knew that I would never be able to own my own restaurant there, which was the ultimate goal," Leon told Fox News Digital; he said he recognized that it had become too expensive in California. He packed up his dog and his belongings and headed to Milwaukee to visit a friend. Leon had "set his sights on a different city," he said, but he fell in love with Milwaukee and decided to stay, opening Amilinda in 2015. "Inspired by the cuisine of Spain and Portugal," Leon said, Amilinda's dishes use locally sourced ingredients paired with specialty items from the Iberian Peninsula. A limited menu that changes weekly offers a variety of flavors and options. Leon is a three-time James Beard Award nominee, honored as a finalist for best chef in the Midwest in 2022 and 2023 and as a semifinalist for outstanding chef in 2024. But no accolades compare to his mother's "classic" recipe for devil's food cake, he said. Leon said his mother's "classic" devil's food cake is a chocolate lover's delight. "It stands on its own. It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles." (Fox News Digital) "It's an amazing cake," Leon said. "It stands on its own. It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles. It's 100% chocolate – and it's one of the things that stand the test of time."

Pistachio Lemon Cake
Pistachio Lemon Cake This sweet and rich Lemon Pistachio Cake is sure to impress with its pistachio cookie crust, melt-in-your-mouth lemon cake, and lemon zest icing. Prep Time45minutes mins Cook Time30minutes mins Total Time1hour hr 15minutes mins Course: Dessert Servings: 8 Author: Krissy Allori Equipment Food Processor parchment paper Mixing Bowls KitchenAid Stand Mixer Ingredients Pistachio layer: 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1 cup raw unsalted pistachio nuts 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup cold butter cut into small cubes 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon LorAnn Super Strength Pistachio Flavor Cake layer: 9 ounces cake flour 9 ounces granulated sugar 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 6 ounces unsalted butter softened 8 ounces milk 3 large eggs 2 ounces vegetable oil 2 teaspoons lemon extract zest from one lemon 1/4 cup lemon juice Lemon glaze: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice zest from one lemon Garnish additional chopped pistachios Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with butter. Prepare the pistachio layer: Add flour, pistachios, and powdered sugar to food processor. Process until pistachios are fine and ingredients are well combined. Add the butter, salt, and LorAnn Pistachio flavor. Process until dough forms, about 10 seconds. Press evenly into the base of the springform pan. Prepare the cake layer: Add cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Combine well. With the paddle mixing on medium speed, add butter in small chunks until the entire mixture becomes uniform and crumbly. This takes about a minute and the flour should be well coated with the butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. With the stand mixer running on low speed, add just enough of the liquid mixture (shouldn't be more than half) to the flour to barely moisten the batter. Increase speed to medium and mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape bowl, add remaining liquid, and mix on low speed until well combined, scraping as necessary. Pour the cake batter on top of the pistachio layer. Bake the cake for 45 minutes. Remove when it is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan before removing. To make glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add small amounts of warm water until your desired consistency is achieved. Once the cake is entirely cool, remove it from the pan and pour the glaze over the top, spreading to the sides to allow it to drizzle over. Top with roughly chopped pistachios Source: Self Proclaimed Foodie ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Lemon Cupcakes
Lemon Cupcakes Lemon cupcakes, made from scratch, are perfectly moist and sweet. Made with both lemon juice and lemon zest, the light and fresh citrus flavor shines through. The trick to perfect homemade cupcakes is in how you mix the batter. Topping these lemon cupcakes with mascarpone frosting is downright heavenly! Prep Time20minutes mins Cook Time20minutes mins Total Time40minutes mins Course: Dessert Cuisine: American Servings: 15 cupcakes Author: Krissy Allori Equipment Mixing Bowls KitchenAid Stand Mixer KitchenAid Stand Mixer Ingredients Lemon cupcakes: 2 large eggs at room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup whole milk zest + fresh juice of two medium lemons meyer lemons recommended 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature Frosting: Mascarpone Frosting Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12-count muffin pan with paper liners. Recipe will make about 15 standard size cupcakes or 9 jumbo cupcakes. Set aside. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup with a spout, mix 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup whole milk, and zest + fresh juice of two medium lemons. Set aside. Measure out dry ingredients (1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt) and place them into the stand mixer bowl. Attach the paddle to the mixer, and turn on the slowest speed (setting 1 on Kitchen Aid mixers). Slowly add chunks of your softened 1/2 cup unsalted butter until it is all added. Let mix until batter resembles coarse sand. Add 1/3 of your liquid ingredients while mixing on low until just moistened. Once incorporated, increase mixing speed to medium high (setting 7 on Kitchen Aid mixer). Let the mixture whip up until it has thickened and lightened in color. It should look like soft-serve ice cream. This mixing can take up to 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl and give it another short mix to ensure everything is well incorporated. Slowly add in the rest of your liquid ingredients while the mixer is running on low speed, stopping to scrape the bowl one more time halfway through. Mix just until everything has combined. Your batter should be thick and not too runny. Spoon batter evenly into 12 cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full. A large cookie scoop works well. Bake for about 18-22 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle will come out clean when done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting with Mascarpone Frosting.

Grease and flour a 14-cup Bundt pan. Toast pecans: Spread in a single layer on a shallow pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway, until fragrant. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in eggs, mashed bananas, pineapple (with juice), oil, and vanilla. Mix until just moistened. Sprinkle 1 cup of the toasted pecans into the bottom of the Bundt pan. Pour the batter over them. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a long wooden pick comes out clean from the center. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely (about 2 hours). Make the Glaze In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the second tablespoon of milk slowly, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches pouring consistency. Pour glaze over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2-cup of toasted pecans. Notes Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture. Be sure to use a 14-cup Bundt pan to avoid overflow - this is a large cake. If you don’t have an 8 oz can of crushed pineapple, measure 1 cup from a larger can (juice included). Toast pecans for added depth of flavor - don’t skip this step! Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze so it doesn't melt. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. This cake can be made a day ahead - it gets even better as the flavors meld.

Carrot Cake
Carrot Cake A classic two layer carrot cake studded with spices, pecans, carrots, and pineapple, and frosted with a decadent cream cheese icing. Moist, delicious, cake. Prep Time15minutes mins Cook Time35minutes mins Cool Cake2hours hrs Total Time50minutes mins Course: Dessert Cuisine: American Keyword: carrot cake, cream cheese frosting, layer cake Servings: 8 Ingredients 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2 tsp vanilla extract 3 cups grated carrots 8 oz can of crushed pineapple drained (optional) 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp allspice 1 cup chopped pecans Cream Cheese Icing 1 cup butter softened 16 ounces cream cheese softened 7 cups confectioners' sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon juice Garnish: 1 cup chopped pecans Instructions Prepare your ingredients by first eliminating excess moisture from the crushed pineapple by placing a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, and using a spoon or measuring cup to press down on it until excess moisture has drained out. Set aside. Next, peel your carrots, then use a box grated to grate carrots so they are grated, but not so finely grated they are full of excess moisture. Set aside. Lastly, finely chop pecans, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, add eggs, oil, white and brown sugar, and vanilla extract and beat together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet, combining the two bowls until just mixed, do not over stir or over beat. Carefully stir in carrots and drained crushed pineapple and fold in pecans. Prepare two 9 inch round baking pans by lining with parchment paper then spraying them with nonstick cooking spray and flouring them or grease and flour pans. Pour even amounts of the cake batter into the two baking pans Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely before layering and frosting. Can be done a day ahead. Cream Cheese Frosting: Make sure butter and cream cheese come to room temperature to soften. In a medium bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, powdered or confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using a hand mixer, carefully beat mixture until there are no lumps and it is smooth and creamy. Place a small dollop of frosting on a cake stand and put the first cake on top. Then frost the top of the cake, and layer the second cake on. Frost the top and sides of both cakes with remaining frosting. Hide any frosting imperfections and garnish with finely chopped pecans. Notes Be sure to remove excess moisture from pineapple or your cake will be too wet. You can replace some of the oil with applesauce (about ? cup) if desired. Peel your carrots before grating, and use a box grater to get a nice shred, but not so fine that it is too wet and juicy. Do not use matchstick carrots, as they are too big. If you over beat the cake it will fall in the center due to too much air being in the batter, so be sure to only mix until ingredients are incorporated. Source: Eazy Peazy Mealz ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

MARY'S CAKE
MARY'S CAKE Print This Recipe After Mass on Fourth of July weekend, our women’s club hosted a wonderful “Hospitality Sunday.” There was plenty of coffee, tea and juices to accompany the vast variety of home-baked goods lovingly prepared by our talented members. Hospitality, however, is not simply the pouring of a glass of juice or serving a slice of pastry. Hospitality is the act of welcoming guests, those we know and those whom we are meeting for the first time. It is showing kindness and sharing a meal, be it a small bite or an elaborate feast. We had many out-of-town visitors that were here for Mass and the holiday festivities. They expressed their gratitude for the warm welcome, the friendly gathering, and the delicious refreshments, and look forward to returning to our little slice of heaven in the Sierras. The recipe I am featuring today, is not my own, rather it is from one of our beautiful women’s club members, Mary. She is an amazing cook and baker! Growing up in San Francisco, Mary learned from her Italian neighbors and friends all things Italian. Even though she is not Italian, when you taste her food, you’d swear she was! I love her biscotti, her cakes and I’m waiting for her marinara sauce recipe (hint, hint). As with many Italian cakes, they are often considered breakfast cakes. Breakfast cakes typically are in a ring shape, have no icing, less sugar, and will often contain a fruit of some kind in the cake. May those you share this cake with be filled with as much love and joy that went into it from the woman who graciously gave me her recipe. Grazie Mille, Mary! Ingredients: 1/2-pound butter, softened 4 Eggs 1 Pint sour cream 1 Cup sugar 2 Teaspoons vanilla 4 Cups flour 2 Teaspoons baking powder 2 Teaspoons baking soda 1/2 Teaspoon salt 1 Cup Apricot jam 1-Cup brown sugar Using a hand mixer, beat the softened butter in a large bowl, add the eggs. Blend in the sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. In another large bowl, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt). Whisk or stir to blend. Add the flour mixture to the batter, beat on low until combined. Spoon half of the cake batter into a greased and floured tube pan. Top with spoonfuls of the jam, spreading evenly (photo below). Add the remaining batter, spreading over the layer of jam. Sprinkle brown sugar all around the top of the cake. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven 60 minutes. Let cool. https://siciliangirl.com/2024/07/marys-cake/ Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, Pa

Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden on the edges. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the glaze, use a handheld electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, buttermilk and vanilla extract until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar; beat on low until the glaze is smooth and creamy, another 2-3 minutes. If the glaze is too thick, add additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle a generous amount of glaze over each cooled muffin.

Olympic Village chocolate muffin
Olympic Village chocolate muffin 'dupe' recipe is 'better than the real thing' New York City chef shares tasty tips for all who want to try making her Olympics-inspired 'dupe' recipe By Peter Burke https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/olympic-village-chocolate-muffin-dupe-recipe-better-real-thing Olympics super fan shows off show-stopping outfits on streets of Paris An Olympics super fan named Vivianne Robinson was seen capturing her themed attire and much more during the 2024 Paris games. See her highlights! As the social media world has consumed the famed chocolate muffin at the Paris Olympics, many have tried to recreate the cake-like treat themselves. Fox News Digital spoke to a New York chef who did just that in a widely shared instructional video inspired by the Olympic Village version that Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen, better known now as "the Muffin Man," first touted on TikTok. Danielle Sepsy is founder of the Hungry Gnome, a wholesale bakery and catering company based in New York City. OLYMPIAN ROCKS TIKTOK OVER CHOCOLATE MUFFINS THAT TASTE 'JUST LIKE CAKE' "Although I've never had the exact Olympic muffin myself, just from watching the videos, I could see it was a really rich, decadent kind of chocolate cake-style muffin with a chocolate ganache center," she told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. "It also had chocolate chunks in the muffin and on top." She decided to replicate it. Chef Danielle Sepsy, shown in inset, is now making her own version of the Olympic Village chocolate muffin that's been taking social media by storm. (Danielle Sepsy) "Some would say that mine even looks better than the real thing," Sepsy said. She shared her "dupe" recipe with Fox News Digital and offered a specific tip to help those inspired to make it at home. OLYMPICS CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS GO VIRAL AS THEY ENTICE PARIS ATHLETES WITH 'INSANE' QUALITY "I like to let the batter sit for a couple of hours in the fridge and even overnight," she said. "It really helps the flavors develop more and also helps the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients kind of get to know each other and makes for the best texture. So, patience is key." For all those interested, here is her Olympics-inspired recipe. Olympic Village-inspired chocolate muffins by Danielle Sepsy of New York City Makes about 9 jumbo muffins (be sure to get a jumbo pan for best results). The center of Danielle Sepsy's chocolate muffins (shown above in both images) has heaps of chocolate on top. These muffins are filled with ganache, just like the ones served at the Olympic Village in Paris.

Honey-Vanilla Almond Cake
Honey-Vanilla Almond Cake JUMP TO RECIPE Prep30 mins Cook35 mins Active20 mins Cooling Time60 mins Total2 hrs 5 mins Serves10 to 12 servings Makes1 cake Ingredients Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan 1 1/2 cups skin-on or blanched whole almonds, or 1 3/4 cups almond flour (see note) 4 large eggs at room temperature, yolks and whites separated 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided Scraped seeds from 1/2 of a split vanilla bean pod 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2-3 drops juice from 1 whole lemon Sliced almonds, for decorating (optional)Directions Preheat oven to 350°F and position rack in center of oven. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease parchment with butter. If using whole almonds, process in a food processor until finely ground. Sift ground almonds through a flour sifter; set aside coarse almond pieces that don't pass through sifter for another use. You should have 1 3/4 cups almond flour. Alternatively, if using store-bought almond flour, proceed to Step 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla bean, baking soda, and salt until well combined and lightened in color, about 5 minutes. Add almond flour and beat at low speed until combined, about 1 minute longer. Using a clean stand-mixer bowl and the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites at low speed until foamy. Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice, increase mixer speed to medium, and mix until soft peaks form, about 10 minutes. Fold 1/3 of beaten egg whites into almond flour batter, stirring well to thoroughly incorporate. Fold half of remaining egg whites into batter as gently as possible, being careful not to deflate whites. Repeat with remaining egg whites. Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes (do not open the oven or move the cake during this time, as it can fall). Rotate cake gently and bake until cake feels solid in the middle when tapped and is a uniform dark brown color, about 10 minutes longer. Meanwhile, warm remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan or microwave. Brush cake with warmed honey as soon as it comes out of the oven. Remove the springform pan's outer ring and let cake stand until cool. Decorate cake top with sliced almonds, if desired. Serve once cooled. Cake can be stored overnight at room temperature before serving.Special Equipment 9-inch springform cake pan, food processor (optional), stand mixer, parchment paperNotes This recipe works with whole skin-on almonds, whole blanched almonds, and store-bought almond meal. If you use whole almonds, you will have to grind them into a flour in a food processor, and then sift out the larger pieces (which can be toasted and used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt). 1 1/2 cups whole almonds should yield the 1 3/4 cups of almond flour you will need (the flour has more volume than the whole almonds you start out with). Skin-on almonds will yield a darker-colored cake with a more complex, earthy flavor, while blanched (skinned) almonds will yield a lighter, more delicate cake. Source: Serious Eats ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Basque Cheesecake
Basque Cheesecake JUMP TO RECIPE Prep50 mins Cook52 mins Active60 mins Cooling Time5 hrs Total6 hrs 42 mins Serves12 servings Makes1 cheesecake Ingredients 32 ounces (900 g) full-fat cream cheese, such as Philadelphia, brought to about 70°F (21°C) 9 1/2 ounces sugar (about 1 1/3 cups; 270 g), plus 1 tablespoon (15 g), divided 5 large eggs, at room temperature 2 large yolks (30 g) from 2 large eggs 8 fluid ounces heavy cream (240 ml), at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (8 g; 10 ml) Finely grated zest of 1 whole lemon (about 1 1/2 teaspoons; 45 g) 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt use half as much by volume or the same weight 2 tablespoons (20 g) all-purpose flourDirections Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut two 12- by 16-inch pieces of parchment paper. Arrange the 12- by 16-inch pieces of parchment in an overlapping pattern to line a greased 9- by 3-inch springform cake pan, leaving at least 1 to 3 inches of parchment overhanging the rim of the pan on all sides. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese and 9 1/2 ounces (270g) sugar. Mix on medium-low speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until no lumps of cheese remain, sugar is dissolved, and mixture is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer on medium-low speed, add eggs one at a time, beating for 10 seconds before adding the next. Add egg yolks, and beat on low speed until fully incorporated, 5 to 10 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, making sure the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Add cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined and smooth, about 15 seconds. Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift flour over batter. Beat on low speed just until combined, 15 to 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Pour batter into prepared pan, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. When ready to bake, remove cake pan from refrigerator, set on a rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon (15g) sugar evenly over surface of batter. Bake cheesecake, rotating pan 180 degrees halfway, until cheesecake jiggles as a whole, surface is deeply browned, and the outer edge feels slightly firm but the inner 4 1/2 to 5 inches still seems wobbly and underdone, 50 to 60 minutes. You can also check doneness with an instant-read thermometer: the cheesecake is done when the very center registers between 150 and 155?F (65.5 to 68?C) when an instant-read thermometer is inserted to a depth of 2 inches. For a more deeply browned top, see notes below. Let cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours before unmolding. To unmold the cheesecake, unlatch springform pan and remove pan sides. Holding by parchment overhang, carefully transfer cake to a cutting board or serving plate. Gently peel back parchment from sides of cheesecake, and use a sharp knife to cut into wedges. Serve chilled or allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature before serving. Leftover cheesecake can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.Special Equipment 9-inch springform pan, stand mixer, fine-mesh strainer, rimmed baking sheet Notes If you’d like more color on your cheesecake you can give it a brief stint under the broiler with your oven rack positioned about 7 inches from the top heating element. Be sure to keep a close eye on it as it can go from brown to burned very quickly. Make-Ahead and Storage The cheesecake can be made up to 3 days in advance; once cooled to room temperature after baking, wrap tightly with plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Carrot Cake with Coconut and Dates
Carrot Cake with Coconut and Dates Servings: 8 Time: 30 minutes active prep, 45 to 60 to bake, plus cooling time Source: Smitten Kitchen via Donna Hay Cake 4 large eggs 1 cup (215 grams) brown sugar, light or dark 12 ounces (340 grams) grated carrots, or 2.75 cups, gently packed; start with more (about 15 ounces) to account for trimming and peeling 3 cups (340 grams) almond flour or almond meal; cups were scooped then leveled Heaped 1/2 cup (45 grams) finely shredded unsweetened coconut 1 cup (155 grams) diced, pitted dates 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond brand; use 1 teaspoon of other brands) 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup (75 grams) melted coconut oil, olive oil, or a neutral oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extractFrosting 1 cup (8 ounces or 225 grams) non-dairy or regular cream cheese [see Note] 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sour cream or plain yogurt 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (replace with additional extract if you don’t have) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Make the cake: Heat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Coat a 9-inch round (or 8-inch square) cake pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set side. Place the eggs and 1 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk at medium-high speed for 8 minutes, or until thick and doubled in volume. Combine remaining ingredients — carrots, almond flour, coconut, dates, salt, spices, baking powder, oil, and vanilla — in a large bowl, tossing to combine. Fold the carrot mixture into the beaten egg mixture, trying to deflate the eggs as little as possible, and spoon the mixture into your prepared cake pan. Smooth the top of the cake so that it’s level. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes but please note: A toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean of batter as early as 35 to 40 minutes but it will not be baked enough (i.e. the crumb might be damp and might even seem a little underbaked in the center) unless you take it another 10 to 15 minutes. The cake is forgiving of what you might think is overbaking, even if the sides seem dark. Remove cake from oven and immediately run a knife around the cake, to loosen anywhere that might be stuck. Let cool for 15 minutes in pan on a rack, then flip it out onto a baking rack, peel off the parchment, and let cake cool right side-up until it’s at room temperature. I usually hurry this along either outside on a cold day or in the fridge. Make the frosting: [See Note about cream cheese temps in the post] In a stand mixer, food processor, or with a hand-mixer: Beat or blend cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and and vanilla paste and extract until creamy and light. To frost and decorate: Spread 2/3 (just eyeball it) of frosting on cooled cake and spread it in a thin, smooth layer. Place the remaining frosting in a bag and snip the corner off. Pipe overlapping squiggles around the cake until you’re out of frosting. Do ahead: Keep leftover cake in fridge. It keeps (without seeming dry, hooray) for 5 to 6 days.

Irish Apple Cake
Irish Apple Cake Serves: 10 Made By: Denise Mull_Kids@... "Delicious and moist" An authentic Irish Farmhouse Apple Cake ~ delicious with or without the traditional custard sauce! Author: Sue Moran Recipe Type: Irish Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes Prep Time: 35 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour Ingredients: CAKE INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 3 tablespoons whole milk or cream 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 about Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced. Mine weighed a little over a pound after slicing. confectioner's sugar for dusting STREUSEL TOPPING INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats 6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut in small pieces 1/2 cup granulated sugar CUSTARD INGREDIENTS 6 large eggs yolks 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups whole milk ~ you can also use half and half or cream 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9 inch springform pan. 2. Make the custard sauce ahead of time. Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile whisk the yolks and sugar until well combined. Drizzle a little of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking all the time. Drizzle a little more, then transfer that back into the pan of hot milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do this slowly, over medium heat, and I like to use a silicone spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan as it heats. The mixture will become velvety and thickend, but it will not be as thick as pudding. It will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't overcook or it can curdle. Stir in the vanilla. 3. Pour the custard through a sieve (to catch any stray lumps) into a heat proof jar or bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface so it won't form a skin as it cools. Put in the refrigerator until completely chilled. 4. To make the streusel topping, blend the bits of butter into the flour, sugar, and oats until the butter is incorporated and the mixture has a coarse crumbly texture. Put in the refrigerator. 5. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. 6. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture, along with the milk or cream. 7. Spoon the batter into your prepared pan, and smooth out evenly. Top with the sliced apples, and then the streusel topping. Note: no need to arrange the apples perfectly, but try to get them in an even layer. 8. Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it. 9. Let cool a bit in the pan before removing. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. Source: theviewfromgreatisland.com Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, Pa
