1 large orange


3/4 cup white sugar


2 tablespoons orange liqueur


1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder


1/4 teaspoon salt


DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toast the almonds until golden brown.


Let almonds cool, then chop into 1/4 inch pieces.


Set oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs until smooth. Zest the orange, add to mixture and stir well. Add the orange-flavored liqueur and cinnamon. Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until just mixed. Stir in the chopped almonds. Divide the dough in half on a lightly floured board and form into long rolls, about 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long.


Set the rolls on a cookie sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, or until they are brown on top.


Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then slice diagonally 1/2 inch thick.


Lay slices back flat on cookie sheet and cook for another 10 minutes. Flip biscotti over and cook for another 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.

    Buttercream Icing I


    (My favorite version for decorating)





    Makes about 3 陆 pounds





    2 sticks butter, room temperature


    2 cups Crisco shortening


    1 teaspoon butter flavoring (Wilton鈥檚 makes the best flavored version)


    1 teaspoon vanilla (I use Wilton鈥檚 Clear Vanilla)


    1/2 teaspoon almond extract


    2 pounds powdered cane sugar


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1 tablespoon meringue powder (optional but the texture will be smoother)*


    Water as necessary (I usually add about 2 tablespoons but you may need more or less depending on the humidity in your neighborhood)





    * You can purchase meringue powder at your local grocery store under the brand name of Just Whites.





    In the mixer, mix butter, Crisco shortening, and salt together to incorporate, about 5 minutes on low.





    Add almond, butter and vanilla extracts. Mix together well. Add about 1 pound of powdered sugar and the meringue powder and mix.





    Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar at a time and mix until you get the consistency you want.





    Add a little milk, a teaspoon at a time, if necessary to thin the frosting. Blend well on low for several minutes.





    Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. NOTE: Buttercream Icing will last for weeks as long as it is well sealed.
    If you have powdered sugar, you can mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with vanilla flavoring (or butter) and a few drops of water and/or food coloring (if you want colored frosting) or a few drops of milk. Please use a few drops at a time because it doesn't take much to get the right consistency. It makes a very nice frosting and is very versatile.
    Buttercream Icing





    1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening


    1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened


    1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract


    4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)


    2 tablespoons milk


    In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using. For thin (spreading) consistency icing, add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk.





    For chocolate icing, add 3/4 cup cocoa or three 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, melted, to the above recipe.

    I need a recipe to go w/ a chocolate cake?

    i just made a chocolate meringue mousse cake and it looks delicious!! but it only serves 6, and i need a little more to go with it. i want to make something else (not a cake, but a bunch of little things, ex. cookies) that's not chocolate so it won't compete. the chocolate cake is really rich, so something light, perhaps?? what would go well with it??I need a recipe to go w/ a chocolate cake?
    How about a berry salad? Or strawberries, mango, and blueberries? I think fruit is a nice choice and would compliment the chocolate.





    Toss together the fruits/berries of your choice. Microwave mixture of 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp of cornstarch for about 30 seconds to make a glaze. Stir into fruit and refrigerate!I need a recipe to go w/ a chocolate cake?
    chocolate dipped strawberries would still go with it (even white chocolate dipped) - or mandarin orange pieces .... Or you could make some cream puffs very quickly; and fill them with pudding, or whipped cream %26amp; berries...... Fill parfait glasses with layers of whipped cream and fruit (that's soaked in a little brandy for a few minutes first; drained)






    Raspberry jam filled walnut cookies.
    How about miniature fruit tarts or linzer cookies?

    Any one have a store-like cake frosting recipe?

    I want to make frosting like the pre-made cakes in the grocery store . I don't want that weird whipped cream kind.. I think it is called buttercream but I just tried making a small amount from one I found online and it pretty much tasted like someone stuck butter in vanilla. I followed the directions right but it wasn't very sweet or fluffy.. just kind of greasy and tasted like butter. Any solutions?Any one have a store-like cake frosting recipe?
    buttercream is a delectable icing made with butter, cream, sugar and flavorings. this one has worked well for me:


    SILKY VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:


    1 cup unsalted butter, softened


    6-8 cups confectioners' sugar


    1/2 cup cream


    2 teaspoons vanilla extract


    Place the butter in a large mixing bowl.


    Add in 4 cups sugar, then the milk and vanilla.


    On medium speed of an electric mixer, beat about 3-5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.


    Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well (about 2 minutes) after each addition, until the icing is thick enough for good spreading consistency (you may not need all of the sugar).


    If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly.


    DO NOT OVERWHIP!!! if you whip this too long the cream will separate and give your frosting a curdled look and you'll have to start over


    Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.


    The icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.Any one have a store-like cake frosting recipe?
    the guys at the store don't use butter they use shortning, so gross!


    if you over mix butter it gets chunky and separates its water out, use a good honest cream cheese frosting!
    I use a stick of butter, I box of confectioner's sugar, 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract and milk by the tablespoon to get it to a fluffy consistency.





    Delicious!





    PS. Make sure your butter is soft. Margarine works too.
    buttter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla or other flavoring or cocoa powder for chocolate. Ugh that crap in the market is full of preservatives, better to make it yourself.
    you will love this one!

















    BAKERY FROSTING








    2 tbsp. all purpose flour


    1/2 cup non-dairy powdered coffee creamer


    1/2 cup water


    2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, (icing sugar/powdered sugar)

    2. In mixer bowl combine sugar, margarine and vanilla. Beat at high speed at least 10 minutes. Gradually add the cooled flour mixture and beat until fluffy. Yield: 3 cups.

    subsitute the oil with either applesause or prune juice..
    There are standard recipes for fatless sponges which are the basis for many of those yummy continental gateaux! They are h*ll to make without either a balloon whisk or en electric whisk though!





    The basic principle is that you start with, say, 3 eggs and 100gms (I think) of caster sugar in a large mixing bowl. Put the bowl over a pan of simmering water but do not allow the bowl to touch the water. Whisk furiously until the mixture more or less three quarters fill the bowl and is very thick and leaves a trail on the surface if you lift the whisk out then remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking until the mix is cold. Then sift 100gms fine plain flour gently over the mix and fold it in. Tip carefully into a 9 inch sandwich tin which you have buttered, floured and lined the bottom with baking parchment as if you don't it will stick like glue to the tin (or use silicone dishes). Cook on Gas 4 180C until the top is a nice pale biscuit colour. Take out of the tin straight away and cool it on a rack. Once cool you can split it and fill it as you like - think of all those gateaux you get in posh restaurants, but yours will taste nicer!
    Lemmon Meringue Cake


    INGREDIENTS


    Serving: Serves 8 to 10


    鈥? sifted cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour, (not self-rising)


    鈥? 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder


    鈥?/4 Teaspoon salt


    鈥? large eggs, separated, room temperature


    鈥?/4 Cup superfine sugar


    鈥?/4 Cup vegetable oil


    鈥? Teaspoon grated orange zest


    鈥? Teaspoon grated lemon zest


    鈥? Tablespoons fresh orange juice


    鈥? Tablespoons fresh lemon juice


    鈥inch of cream of tartar


    . Lemon Curd (see recipe below)


    . Swiss Meringue (recipe below)





    1.Heat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt twice. Set aside.


    2.Place egg yolks in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium high until pale and foamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar, beating until very pale and puffy, 5 to 7 minutes.


    3.Add oil in a steady stream. Add zests; beat for 1 minute. Reduce speed to medium low, and add flour mixture alternately with juices, flour in 4 parts and liquid in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Set aside.


    4.In a clean bowl, whip egg whites on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and increase speed to medium high. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, and beat for 1 1/2 minutes, or until whites are glossy and stiff peaks form.


    5.Stir a quarter of the whites into the flour-yolk mixture. Fold in remaining whites carefully, trying not to deflate the batter. Gently pour into an ungreased 7-inch tube pan. Bake until cake is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 40 minutes.


    6.Remove cake from oven, and invert immediately. Cool completely in pan. Run a knife around sides to loosen, and remove outer part of pan. Run a knife along bottom and around tube to loosen and remove tube. Turn upside down onto a cake round slightly smaller than the cake, and slice horizontally into 3 layers using a serrated knife.


    7.Spread half the filling on the bottom layer, and cover with the middle layer. Spread remaining filling on middle layer, and cover with top layer. Refrigerate overnight, or until set. Brush off excess crumbs with a dry pastry brush.


    8.Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare meringue, and spread it all over cake, swirling with an icing spatula as desired. Set cake, still on cake round, on an oiled baking sheet, and place in oven. Bake, watching carefully, until meringue is brown around edges and beginning to brown elsewhere.





    for the lemon curd:


    This curd can be prepared several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator; use any extra as a spread for your morning toast.


    INGREDIENTS


    Makes 1 1/2 cups


    鈥?3 large egg yolks, strained


    鈥?Zest of 1/2 lemon


    鈥?1/4 cup lemon juice


    鈥?6 tablespoons sugar


    鈥?4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces


    DIRECTIONS


    1.Combine yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine. Set over medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, making sure to stir sides and bottom of pan. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat back of wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.


    2.Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring with the wooden spoon until consistency is smooth.


    3.Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd to avoid a skin from forming; wrap tightly. Let cool; refrigerate until firm and chilled, at least 1 hour. Store refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.





    For the Swiss Meringue


    This meringue works well for piping shapes and baking them until crisp. It can be rewhipped if necessary.


    INGREDIENTS


    Makes 4 cups


    鈥?4 large egg whites, at room temperature


    鈥?1 cup sugar


    鈥?1 cream of tartar


    鈥?1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


    DIRECTIONS


    1.Fill medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring water to a simmer.


    2.Combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of electric mixer, and place over saucepan. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Test by rubbing between your fingers.


    3.Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use meringue immediately











    I recommend for your husband to include lots of olive oil (extra virgin if possible) in salads like 2 parts of olive oil and one part of corn or other vegetable oil. This mix helps reduce cholesterol. Also he needs to eat dry fruits like nuts, which are rich in Omega3 acids and help to increase the good cholesterol to reduce the bad one.


    Excersise also helps to fasten this process.
    Substitute oil/butter with Yogurt. Plain and low fat. Comes out softer...whatever recipe you are trying...I have done it for all my recipes and it works like a charm. Just make sure that the yogurt is plain, not sour and cool not cold. Another option which worked for me was cut down the number of eggs to 2/3 of what the recipe requires and use egg whites for the 1/3 of the whole eggs portion. Basically, if the recipe asked for 3 eggs I put 2 and put in one extra egg white.

    Take a yellow cake mix and substitute the oil with unsweetened applesauce to reduce the fat or a chocolate cake mix and substitute the oil with canned pumpkin. It does not change the taste at all and is very good. I made a pineapple upside down cake with the yellow cake mix and applesauce not too long ago and it was delicious.

    Tips.





    . Instead of spreading butter and flour in pan you can also use. cooking sprays for baking which contain flour such as:Crisco no stick cooking spray with flour, PAM baking spray.
    I just use a pineapple box mix cake, and instead of water I use the juice from the can of pineapple. I melt a stick of butter in the bottom of a glass baking dish, with a 1/2 cup of brown sugar. When it's melted lay your pineapple rings down in the bottom and put some cherries in the hole. Pour the cake batter over and bake till cake is done. It's simple and delish.

    Moist Chocolate and Almond Cake


    Ingredients


    4 oz (110 g) dark chocolate (70-75% cocoa solids), grated


    4 oz (110 g) ground almonds


    4 oz (110 g) butter, at room temperature


    6 oz (175 g) golden caster sugar


    6 tablespoons milk


    4 large eggs, separated


    6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour, sifted





    To decorate


    6 oz (175 g) dark chocolate (70-75% cocoa solids), broken up


    1 rounded tablespoon creme fraiche


    a few toasted flaked almonds


    Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7, 425掳F (220掳C).





    You will also need an 8 inch (20 cm) round cake tin, greased and lined with baking parchment.





    Start by creaming the butter and sugar together until they鈥檙e light, pale and fluffy. Beat the egg yolks thoroughly together and add them to the mixture, about a teaspoonful at a time, beating well after each addition. When all the yolks are in, lightly fold in the ground almonds, grated chocolate and milk, using a metal spoon.





    Now in a separate, dry, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites till they reach the soft peak stage, and then fold them into the rest of the mixture gently and carefully so as not to lose all the air you have whisked in. Finally, add the flour 鈥?again, folding that in carefully with a metal spoon.





    Next, spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, level it off, place it on the centre shelf in the oven, reduce the heat to gas mark 3, 325掳F (170掳C) and bake the cake for 1 hour 10 minutes-1 hour 15 minutes or until the centre is springy when lightly touched. Allow the cake to stand in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn it out on to a wire rack to cool.





    To decorate, melt the 6 oz (175 g) dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl, which should be sitting over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn鈥檛 touch the water. The chocolate should take about 5 minutes to become smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes and thicken slightly and then stir the cr猫me fra卯che into the chocolate.

    Here is a flourless recipe along with an amazing chocolatey recipe. I hope one of them is the answer for you.








    The Ultimate Flourless Chocolate Cake





    Even though the cake may not look done, pull it from the oven when an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees. (Make sure not to let tip of thermometer hit the bottom of the pan.) It will continue to firm up as it cools. If you use a 9-inch springform pan instead of the preferred 8-inch, reduce the baking time to 18 to 20 minutes.





    Ingredients:





    8 large eggs , cold


    1 pound bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


    1/2 pound unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into 1/2-inch chunks


    1/4 cup strong coffee or liqueur (optional)


    confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder for decoration





    Preparation:





    Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line bottom of 8-inch springform pan with parchment and grease pan sides. Cover pan underneath and along sides with sheet of heavy-duty foil and set in large roasting pan. Bring kettle of water to boil.





    Beat eggs with hand-held mixer at high speed until volume doubles to approximately 1 quart, about 5 minutes. Alternately, beat in bowl of electric mixer fitted with wire whip attachment at medium speed (speed 6 on a KitchenAid) to achieve same result, about 5 minutes.





    Meanwhile, melt chocolate and butter (adding coffee or liqueur, if using) in large heat-proof bowl set over pan of almost simmering water, until smooth and very warm (about 115 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), stirring once or twice. (For the microwave, melt chocolate and butter together at 50 percent power until smooth and warm, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring once or twice.) Fold 1/3 of egg foam into chocolate mixture using large rubber spatula until only a few streaks of egg are visible; fold in half of remaining foam, then last of remaining foam, until mixture is totally homogenous.





    Scrape batter into prepared springform pan and smooth surface with rubber spatula. Set roasting pan on oven rack and pour enough boiling water to come about halfway up side of springform pan. Bake until cake has risen slightly, edges are just beginning to set, a thin glazed crust (like a brownie) has formed on surface, and an instant read thermometer inserted halfway through center of cake registers 140 degrees, 22 to 25 minutes. Remove cake pan from water bath and set on wire rack; cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight to mellow (can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days).





    About 30 minutes before serving, remove springform pan sides, invert cake on sheet of waxed paper, peel off parchment pan liner, and turn cake right side up on serving platter. Sieve light sprinkling of Confectioners鈥?sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder over cake to decorate, if desired. Serves 12 to 16.

Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm.

    Royal Icing





    Ideal for decorating cookies, royal icing dries quickly and can be tinted with food coloring. You can use the icing to attach decorative candies, colored sugars and small ornaments to the cookies. It's a good idea to flavor the icing with a few drops of vanilla extract or fresh lemon juice.


    Ingredients:





    3 egg whites, at room temperature


    4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar


    1/2 tsp. cream of tartar


    Pinch of salt


    A few drops of vanilla extract or fresh


    lemon juice (optional)


    Directions:





    In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, confectioners' sugar, cream of tartar and salt on medium-low speed until blended. Add the vanilla or lemon juice, increase the speed to medium-high, and continue beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is nearly triple in volume, 7 to 8 minutes.





    Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover tightly with plastic wrap and store at room temperature until ready to use, up to 6 hours. Makes 5 to 6 cups.

    RICE CAKE (MOCHI)


    The rice cake (mochi) is a traditional Japanese food. It is made of glutinous rice (mochi-gome). Japanese-style confectionery shops sell rice cakes all year round, and we can eat them when we want to.


    In Japan, people generally eat rice at New Year. A lof of families make their own rice cakes. I will briefly describe how to make rice cakes. First we steep glutionous rice in water overnight. Then we steam it for about thirty minutes, and pound it with a mallet and mortar. Nowadays many people use a machine powered by electricity instead. Finally, we shape it into round patties. At this point, bean paste may be used as center to make anko-mochi (bean paste rice cake).What is a good recipe for rice cakes--like the kind you buy at the store?

    Betty Crocker lighter recipe Carrot cake?

    ok, so my family made this healthy carrot cake. It says 300 calories/serving. But we didnt make it with the cream cheese frosting. So how many calories are per serving then?





    here's the recipe website: http://www.bettycrocker.com/Recipes/Reci鈥?/a>Betty Crocker lighter recipe Carrot cake?
    Figure out the caloric content of the ingredients in the frosting, divide it by the number of servings and subtract that from the 300 calories per serving. That will tell you how much a serving without frosting contains.

    Old Fashioned Angel Food Cake ICING recipe?

    My grandma used to make an Angel Food Cake for my mom's birthday and the icing was fantastic! I have searched for the recipe and can't find it anywhere, can you help?


    As near as I can remember she used powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla but I don't know the amounts! She didn't cook it, and it was not a ';glaze';, when it was done, she'd pour it over the top of the cake and it setup relatively firmly. Again, it wasn't a ';glaze';, but more of an icing (it set up about 1/4 inch thick).

    CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE


    ingredients:


    For cake layers


    3/4 cup boiling water


    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)


    1 teaspoon instant-espresso powder


    1/2 cup whole milk


    1 teaspoon vanilla


    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened


    2 cups packed dark brown sugar


    4 large eggs


    For ganache filling and glaze


    2 1/2 cups heavy cream


    20 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped in a food processor





    preparations:


    Make cake layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 3 (7- or 8-inch, 2-inch-deep) round cake pans and line bottoms with rounds of wax or parchment paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess.


    Whisk together water, cocoa, and espresso powder until smooth, then whisk in milk and vanilla.





    Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.





    Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until fluffy, then add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and cocoa mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing at low speed until just combined.





    Divide batter among pans (about 2 1/3 cups per pan), smoothing tops. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes for 7-inch pans or 20 to 25 minutes for 8-inch. Cool in pans on a rack 30 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove paper, and cool completely.





    Make ganache while cakes bake: Bring cream to a simmer in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until smooth. Transfer ganache to a bowl and chill, covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened but spreadable, about 4 hours. (If ganache becomes too thick, let stand at room temperature until slightly softened.)





    Assemble cake: Arrange 1 layer on a cake stand or plate and spread 2/3 cup ganache evenly over it. Top with another cake layer and 2/3 cup ganache, spreading evenly, then third cake layer. (Chill ganache if necessary to keep at a spreadable consistency.) Chill cake until ganache filling is firm, about 1 hour. Keep remaining ganache at a spreadable consistency, chilling when necessary.





    Spread a thin layer of ganache over top and sides of cake to seal in crumbs, then chill 30 minutes. Spread remaining ganache evenly over top and sides of cake.





    Cooks' notes:


    • Cake layers may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely, then chilled, wrapped well in plastic wrap.





    • Ganache may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Let stand at room temperature 2 to 3 hours to soften to a spreadable consistency.





    • This cake can also be made in 2 (8-inch, 2-inch-deep) round cake pans. Split layers horizontally, then use 1/2 cup ganache between layers.





    • Assembled cake keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. meringue kisses with passion-fruit fool

    Make a chocolate cake from a box mix but add mayonnaise to it. Instead of the oil . It sounds weird but it makes the chocolate cake soooo moist!
