Let ingredients sit in jar for 2 weeks, stirring daily. At the end of two weeks, add the maraschino cherries, 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of brandy. Let the mixture sit for two more weeks, stirring daily. During the forth week add the canned peaches, 1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of brandy. Let sit another two weeks, stirring daily. Seperate the liquid from the fruit. The liquid is your starter and you can use the fruit on ice cream or cake. Now you are ready to prepare the fruit for two cakes. DO NOT refrigerate the liquid. In a large gallon jar, put 1 1/2 cups of the starter, 2 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 large can (28 Oz.) sliced peaches. Mix well and cover jar with a paper towel. Do not refrigerate or screw lid on jar. Stir every day for 10 days. Next, add 2 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 can (16 oz.) crushed pineapple. Stir everyday for 10 days. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar and 1 can (16 oz.) fruit cocktail. Slice contents of 1 jar (10 oz.) maraschino cherries and add with juice. Stir every day for 10 days. On baking day, drain the fruit and divide it into two equal parts. Save the juice and use it as starter for friends. You will have enough for five starters (approximately 2 cups each). DO NOT refrigerate the liquid because it will stop the fermenting action. For each cake you will need: To each cake mix, add pudding mix, oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth and fold in fruit and nuts, batter will be thick. Pour mixture into a greased tube pan, then bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Turn cake out of pan while hot. When cooled, the cake freezes well. The choices of flavored cake mixes and pudding mixes is yours and coconut may be substituted for nuts. SOURCE:*Norene B. Mitchell, Oneida, NY.

It is hard to know if this should really be called a cake, but it has historically been called a cake, so it is a cake, even if it is fried. This desert appeals to children of all ages, it is a homey, and homely, classic ~ attractive in its own strange way, and very tasty. I have seen it served with whipped cream and fruit toppings, so let your imagination run wild with the toppings. This is a Pennsylvania-Dutch recipe, and was printed in the food section of the September 25, 1986 Austin American-Statesman. This recipe was credited to Laura Worm, Louise Lightsey, and Jeanene Demel. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones. Beat until smooth. Fill a skillet or pan with 1 inch of cooking oil and heat to a temperature of 375 F. Now cover the small hole of a clean funnel with a finger. Then fill the funnel with the batter. Carefully move your finger away from the hole in the funnel, allowing the batter to flow into the skillet. Move the funnel to form patterns with the batter. Fry until golden brown, about 1 or 2 minutes, turning once with two spatulas. Remove to paper toweling to drain. Place on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot. Repeat the process until all of the batter is used up.

Spoon the batter over the peaches and spread in a thin, even layer with a rubber spatula. It's OK if the peaches are not completely covered. Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake--not the fruit--comes out clean, 25-to-28 minutes.

Cook the mixture, uncovered, over moderately high heat, stirring, until the water is almost evaporated. Force the mixture through a food mill into a bowl, and allow the puree to cool. (I zap it in my food processor, until it is a puree). Generously butter a 9" springform pan and preheat the oven to 350 deg. F. In a large bowl cream the butter, beat in the sugar and beat the mixture until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and the apple puree. Into a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Stir the flour mixture and the pecans gently into the apple mixture and pour the batter into the springform pan. Peel and core the Granny Smith apples, halve them lengthwise and cut them crosswise into thin slices. *Arrange the apple slices decoratively in bunches on the batter, pressing them lightly into the batter. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 1 1/4 hours, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake to a rack. In a small saucepan melt the jam over low heat, brush it over the cake and let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with the whipped cream, if desired. Note: If you prefer, substitute 3 large firm pears to make the fruit puree. Use 2 firm but ripe unpeeled pears, halved lengthwise, cored and cut into thin slices for the top of the cake. Note:* You should be able to make about 14 groups bunches of the sliced Granny Smith Apples, and arrange them in 12 groups around the cake, with two groups in the center, sort of like a flower. Press the slices in, keeping the round side of the slices up, and pressing them straight into the batter. This is a lovely looking cake. I have only made it once...it was quite simple, yet very elegant looking and different.

Combine the butter and egg mixtures. Sift the dry ingredients and add them along with the whiskey a little at a time to the egg/butter mixture. Finally stir pecans into the batter. Bake in a slow oven in a large (10 inch) tube type pan for appox 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. The recipe now says to wrap the cool cake in Al foil and keep in the fridge for a week or two to let the flavors "meld", however everyone around my house usually consumes it in the following few days. This cake when baked still contains a substantial amount of whiskey! Its rather surprizing. I assume the vapors get trapped in the cake or whatever. It tastes great (really great) with a blob of sweetened whipped cream (with vanilla of course). BTW this makes a heck of a large cake. I have made little cakes in those minature loaf pans to give as Xmas gifts and it worked great, dividing the recipe in half.

Line with waxed paper. Grease the waxed paper. Preheat the oven to moderate (350F). Pour the boiling water over the cocoa powder in a medium-size bowl; stir to dissolve the cocoa. Stir in the buttermilk; the mixture should be cool. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla. Beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool the cake in the pan on a large wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto the rack to cool completely. Remove the waxed paper. PREPARE THE FILLING: Heat the granulated sugar and water to boiling in a very small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil until the temperature registers 240 F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream, 10 X sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until stiff. Cover and refrigerate. Using clean beaters, beat together the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Slowly beat the hot syrup into the egg whites, beating until the meringue forms stiff peaks and is cool. Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor. Whirl for about 5 seconds to puree. Fold the raspberries and grenadine into the whipped cream. Gently fold the meringue into the raspberry cream. Set aside. ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Cut the cake crosswise into three equal rectangles (5 x 10 inches). Place one rectangle on a serving platter. Top with 2 cups of the filling. Repeat two more times, ending with a layer of raspberry cream. Garnish with whipped cream, orange zest, or fresh raspberries, if you wish. Makes 8 servings.

Prepare a macaroon paste by mixing, with a spatula, the rest of the sugar, the ground powered nuts, the egg whites and lemon rind. Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 2-3 mm ( 1/8 in) and line an 18 cm ( 7 in) tart tin with a removable base. Prick it all over with the prongs of a fork (Put it in a refrigerator if you are not going to bake it at once). Pre-heat the oven to 220 oC/425 oF. Lightly sprinkle caster sugar over the uncooked pastry, then spread the raspberry puree over it in a smooth layer. Spread the macaroon mixture over the raspberry, smoothing the surface with the help of a spatula. Cook the cake for 40 minutes in the pre-heated oven. Reduce the heat to 180 oC/350 oF after 20 minutes if it is browning too quickly. Take it out and leave it to cool a little. Scatter the slivered almonds over the top of the cake while it is still warm. Sprinkle the cake with icing sugar then put it under hot grill for just long enough to caramelise the sugar lightly. Take care, as this takes barely a minute. Let the cake cool, then take it out of the tin.

Add the coffee zest and liqueur. Continue whipping until cream reaches the soft peak stage, and remove from the mixer. Finish beating by hand using a wire whisk, whipping until cream is quite thick but not grainy. Refrigerate. Note: to make coffee zest, add 3 parts coffee crystals to 1 part boiling water. To assemble the cake, split each layer into halves. Set the first layer on a serving plate, top side down. Fit a 14-inch pastry bag with a large no. 5 plain tube, and fill it 1/3 rd full with mocha whipped cream. Starting 1/2 inch from the edge, pipe a circle of cream around the top of the layer. Fill center of the circle with additional cream, smoothing surface with a large metal offset spatula. Repeat with the second and third layers, placing them cut side up. Arrange the top layer cut side down, aligning layers so the sides of the cake are even. Empty the remaining whipped cream into the pastry bag. Pipe 1/2 inch whipped cream dots on the top layer, beginning at the outer edge. Each dot should touch the preceding one, forming a ring. Continue working toward the center of the cake until the entire surface is covered. Place 1/2 tsp cocoa in a very fine mesh strainer. Gently tap the strainer over the surface of the cake to give it a light dusting of cocoa. Place the cake in the refrigerator uncovered to chill, but remove from refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving. Storage: Store leftover cake in the refrigerator under a foil tent.

They're a variation on a whimsical cupcake that Michael Roberts serves at Los Angeles's Trumps restaurant at teatime. CUPCAKES Make the cupcakes: 1. Position a rack in the center and preheat oven to 325øF. Lightly butter twenty-four 1-3/4" x 3/4" (1-oz) muffin of biscuit cups. 2. Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the sugar. Make a well in the center. Whisk in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. (The batter will be very thin.) 3. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 12 to 14 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pans and finish cooling on the rack. Make the filling: 4. In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Add the white chocolate and remove from heat. let the mixture stand briefly; stir until smooth. Transfer to a metal bowl and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, stirring occasionally. (To speed the process, set the metal bowl over a larger bowl of ice water; stir the chocolate mixture until cool.) With an electric mixer, beat the whit chocolate mixture just until fluffy, about 1 minute. 5. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain tip. Insert the pastry tip 1/4-inch into the bottom of each cupcake and squeeze a little filling into each one. Make the glaze: 6. Place the chocolate in a small bowl. Whisk in the boiling water and blend until smooth. One at a time, dip the top of each cupcake into the warm glaze. Turn the glazed cupcakes right side up and set them on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Refrigerate the cupcakes for 5 minutes to set the glaze. Make the icing: 7. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Stir in the cream of tartar. Gradually mix in enough of the confectioner's sugar to make a fairly stiff and smooth icing. Fill a small paper cone with the icing and cut a 1/16-inch opening at the tip. Remove the cupcakes from the refrigerator. Pipe a design (a squiggle, spiral, etc.) on the top of each cupcake. Let the design harden and then cover and refrigerate the cupcakes. Serve at room temperature. The cupcakes can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance, or frozen up to 2 weeks. Makes 22 to 24 miniature cupcakes.

Melt the butter in a heavy 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Stir in the brown sugar and reserved pineapple syrup, blending well. Remove from the heat. Arrange the pineapple slices in the sugar mixture in a balanced arrangement. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

It's also almost impossible to overbake. A couple years ago I was making one as an Xmas gift for friends. I went to bed, forgetting to remove the cake from the oven, and it baked all night long. When I finally got it out of the oven (over 7 hours after it went in) the cake was perfectly OK except for a suface layer about «" deep that was a bit dry. I made another cake for the gift, but my family gobbled the "mistake" in short order.

Remove the jars from the water and allow to air-dry. Leave the lids and rings in the hot water until ready to use. Once cool, brush (use a pastry brush) the inside of jars with shortening (DO NOT use Pam or Baker's Secret); set aside. Coarsely chop the nuts and raisins; set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl. Add raisins and walnuts; toss lightly to combine. In another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow (2-3 minutes). Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Divide batter among the 8 canning jars (should be slightly less than 1/2 full). Wipe the sides of the jar off (inside/outside) in case you slop or it'll burn. Place jars on a cookie sheet or they'll tip over. Bake in preheated 325-degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted deep into the center of the cakes comes out clean. When cakes test done, remove the jars, one-by-one, place a lid, then a ring onto each jar, screw down tightly. USE HEAVY-DUTY MITTS! The jars are H O T ! Place jars onto your counter to cool. You'll be able to tell if they've sealed--you'll hear a "plinking" sound. If you miss the sound, test each jar by pushing on the lids once the jars are cool, they shouldn't move at all. These will keep in a cool, dark place for about 1 year. I'm not sure, they don't last that long around here!

SOUR CREAM/CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine the softened butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and sour cream in a mixing bowl; blend well. Add chocolate which has been melted and cooled and vanilla. Beat until smooth. NOTE: I have seen reference to people having trouble with their layer cakes and how they rise. Try this little trick when making this cake. Take the layer that has the least amount of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp knife. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside down). Then frost between layers and place the other layer on right side up and finished frosting. It will give the illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and will sit better on your cake plate. Also the trimmings are great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids.

This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350ø. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.

Place the pecans in a large ungreased roasting pan. Roast nuts @ 425 degrees for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch, carefully, lower heat, if necessary. Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then, mix in 4 tbsp of butter. Add 2 cups roasted pecans to the butter mixture. Coat them thoroughly. Return mixture to the pan and roast for 10 minutes more, stirring once or twice. Stir in 2 tbsp vanilla extract and roast 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and set aside. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream 3/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on high speed until very light and fluffy, about 6 to 8 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. In a third bowl, combine milk and remaining 2 tsp vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and the milk mixture, alternately, to the butter, beating on high speed until well blended and scraping the bowl sides between additions. Stir in the pecans. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites on high speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture holds peaks, about 2 minutes.

Roast pecans until dark, then cool. Combine the granulated sugar and water in a 1 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat to soft thread stage (230 degrees on a candy thermometer), about 15 minutes. Do not Stir. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg yolks on high speed just slightly, about 5 seconds. Gradually, add the hot sugar water mixture. Beat until thoroughly cool, thick, shiny and very pale, about 10 minutes. Start at low speed so it won't splash; then go to high speed. If crystal sugar builds up around the sides of the bowl, don't scrape it into the mixture, it will make the frosting lumpy and you will have plenty of frosting without it. Gradually, add the margarine and mix on medium speed until completely blended and very smooth, about 5 minutes. Blend in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract on low speed until smooth, then, add the pecans. Beat on high speed until thoroughly mixed and very thick.

Cover and allow to stand at room temperature for three hours. Cook 2 1/2 cups of the coconut milk with the sugar just long enough to melt the sugar. Remove from the heat and cool. After the yeast-rice flour mixture has rested for three hours, combine it with the coconut milk-sugar mixture. Mix well, cover, and allow to rest at room temperature for another 3 hours. At the end of the resting time, combine the mixture with the remaining coconut milk, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, which should first be dissolved in the teaspoon of water. Transfer to several small bowls or pans so that the mixture fills it only halfway to allow room for expansion. Let stand overnight, at room temperature. The following day, steam [using the wet steaming method as described on page 36] for 30 minutes. Serve the cake either hot, cold, or at room temperature. Note: A wine rice ball can be purchased in Oriental grocery stores. They are about the size of a camphor ball, and white. To crush, use a rolling pin or a blender. Steaming A steamer consists of a pot in which water is boiled and at least two more metal inserts or layers that fit directly on the lower pot of water, one above the other. These inserts are perforated, allowing wet steam to circulate freely through the layers and enabling either a large quantity of one food or several different foods to be cooked at the same time.

Then fold in lemon extract, rind and reserved egg yolks until blended. Gently fold in flour. Transfer batter to pan; spread evenly with spatula. Bake until lightly browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Invert pan to let cake cool. When completely cool, use flexible knife to release cake from sides, then bottom, of pan. Can be kept well-covered at room temperature for a day or frozen up to 3 months. To serve, spread top and sides with lemony frosting. LEMONY FROSTING: Place all ingredients except milk or water in mixing bowl. Combine with wooden spoon until smooth. Add milk or water as necessary, for desired consistency. Spread on cake. Yield: frosting for one 10-inch tube cake.

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, & vanilla in a large bowl. Beat (at medium speed if a mixer is used) until egg whites hold soft peaks. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating continuously. Continue beating until meringue is very stiff and dull. It has been beaten enough when a bit, rubbed between thumb & finger, is no longer grainy. The meringue should be stiff enough to hold it's shape when formed with a pastry tube. Gently fold in remaining sugar. Meringues should actually be dried rather than baked. Herein lies the secret of making meringues which are tender, delicate, and light-colored, rather than overly crisp, tough, and too dark to be either attractive or delicious. The best meringues are baked by the following method: Set oven teperature at 200 degrees before beginning to beat the egg whites. After shaping the meringue mixture on baking sheets, place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then turn off the oven heat. Allow the meringues to remain in the oven with the heat rurned off for at least 4-5 hours -- the longer the better. If your oven has a pilot light, the meringues will be ready a little sooner. The meringues should be totally dry before removing them from the oven. If you can, leave them in the oven overnight. For many of us, however, time is a factor. If you can't take the time to bake meringues this slow, slow way, accept second best & simply bake them slowly, setting the oven temperature for 200 degrees or less if possible. At 200 degrees, meringue layers will need to bake for about 40 minutes; small meringues may take a little less time. Whatever method you use, it is important to prevent the meringues from coloring, since even a light tan color changes their texture and taste as well as their appearance. When thoroughly dry, meringues can be kept covered in a dry airy place (NOT in a tightly covered box) for several weeks. ALTERNATE MIXING METHOD by ELECTRIC BEATER Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at high speed until egg whites hold peaks. Add 1/2 cup sugar, all at once. Beat at high speed until mixture is very stiff and there are no grains of undisolved sugar. Fold in remaining sugar. To shape Swiss Meringue into layers and rounds follow directions given below. Grease and flour a large baking sheet. Press the rim of a 9-inch layer cake pan or a 2-inch cooky cutter lightly into the flour on baking sheet to make guides. If Baking Pan Liner Paper is used, the guiding circles will have to be traced with a pencil. Spread mixture within circles. OR: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a No.3 or 5 tube with prepared mixture. Starting in center of each circle, press out bater in a long, continuous, pencil-thick strip, curling it round & round until traced circle is completely filled in (spiral). For best control, press out batter slowly, holding bag at least 1 inch away from sheet. Bake in a 325 degree oven, 25 minutes for small rounds, 35-40 minutes for 9-inch layers.

MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07 Title: The Ultimate Chocolate Mousse Cake Categories: Cakes, Chocolate Servings: 16 1 lb Bittersweet chocolate; coar -sely chopped 1/2 lb Butter; unsalted 6 Eggs; lightly beaten Chocolate ganache glaze 2/3 c Heavy cream 6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate; finel -y chopped Fat grams per serving: Approx. Cook Time: :15 CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE: 1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Wrap the outside of an 8-inch springform pan in a double layer of aluminum foil to prevent seepage. Butter the pan and line the bottom with a round of parchment or waxed paper. Butter the paper. 2. Combine the chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl over a pan of hot - not simmering - water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Or melt in a glass bowl in a microwave oven on high (100%), stopping and stirring every 15 seconds; remove the chocolate when there are still a few lumps and stir until completely smooth. 3. Put the eggs in a large mixer bowl set over simmering water and stir constantly until warm to the touch, about 3 minutes; remove from the heat. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs until they triple in volume and form soft peaks when the beater is lifted, 5 to 8 minutes. (To ensure maximum volume, if using a hand-held mixer, continue to beat the eggs over simmering water until they are hot to the touch, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and beat until cool.) 4. Fold half the eggs into the melted chocolate until partially incorporated. Add the remaining eggs and fold until they are just blended and no streaks remain. 5. Pour at once into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in a larger roasting pan and add enough hot water to the pan to reach about two-thirds of the way up the springform. 6. Bake for 5 minutes. Cover the top of the springform loosely with lightly buttered aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a rack for 45 minutes; then cover and refrigerate until chilled and very firm, about 3 hours. 7. To unmold, run a small spatula or a blunt knife around the edge and remove the side of the springform. Carefully invert the cake into a plate that has been covered with plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the springform; peel off the parchment. Reinvert the cake onto a cardboard round or a cake plate. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight, until thoroughly chilled, before serving. 8. If you want to cover the cake with a chocolate ganache glaze, set it on a rack or tuck strips of waxed paper around the bottom of the cake. Pour the tepid glaze onto the center of the cake, letting it cascade over the sides. Run a long metal spatula lightly across the top so that the glaze will not be too thick. If necessary, use the spatula to patch any pare spots. Work quickly before the glaze sets. Prick any air bubbles with a needle or pin. Carefully remove any strips of waxed paper. Let the glaze stand undisturbed until set, 2 to 3 hours at room temperature, or 30 minutes in the refrigerator. CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE: 1. In a small heavy saucepan, scald the cream. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes; then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let cool until tepid. 2. Stir the glaze to test it. It is ready to use when a small amount mounds just a tiny bit when dropped from the spoon before disappearing into the mixture. If the glaze is too thick and the mound remainds on the surface, add warm water (or liqueur) by the teaspoonful, testing until the consistency is correct. If for some reason the glaze remains too thin, stir in more finely grated chocolate, heat until melted and then let cool again. Variations MINI-MOUSSE CAKE: This cake is perfect for serving 6 to 8. Make the Ultimate chocolate Mousse Cake, using 1/2 pound chocolate, 4 ounces of butter and 3 lightly beaten eggs. Bake in a 6-inch springform pan; temperature and baking remain the same.

Although the frosting mix was discontinued, Pillsbury continued to receive so many requests for the cake that the company developed a scratch recipe to simulate the original. Here it is:" 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan or 10" angel food tube pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. 2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until well blended. By hand, stir in flour, 3/4 cup cocoa, and nuts; mix until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. 3. Bake 58 to 62 minutes. Since this cake has a soft tunnel of fudge, ordinary doneness test cannot be used. Accurate oven temperature and baking time are critical. Let cake cool upright in pan on a rack for 1 hour; then invert onto serving plate and let cool completely. 4. To make glaze, in a small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar, remaining 1/4 cup cocoa, and milk. Mix until well blended. Spoon glaze over top of cool cake, allowing some to run down sides. Store cake tightly covered. ** Nuts are essential for the success of this recipe.

The pineapple would flavor the cake ... and the brown sugar would be a caramelized meld with the pineapple and cherries. Makes my mouth water just thinking of it. And it's quick and easy, too! First, prepare the pan: Melt 1/3 cup butter in heavy 10" skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange drained, cooked fruit in attractive pattern on the butter-sugar coating. Make the cake batter and pour it over fruit. Bake until wooden pick thrust into center of cake comes out clean. Immediately turn upside-down on serving plate. Do not remove pan for a few minutes. Brown sugar mixture will run down over cake instead of clinging to pan. Serve warm with plain or whipped cream. Note: I recommend pineapple slices, with maraschino cherries studded in between for fruit. -Perry- Cake batter: Beat until thick and lemon colored (5 min) TEMPERATURE: 350 degrees F.

It can be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container for more than a week. Before being whipped it should be very cold. In hot weather the bowl and beater should also be chilled. Using a well chilled bowl, or setting the bowl over ice, beat cream with an electric mixer or rotary egg beater. As cream begins to thicken, beat in sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until stiff. If not to be served at once, place in refrigerator, where it may be kept 2-3 hours. The Yield From A Cup of Cream Can Be Increased (with a very slight difference in texture) by adding 1 egg white to each cup of whipped and flavored cream. Beat the egg white until it holds soft peaks. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar. Continue beating til very stiff. Fold into whipped cream. To Prepare Whipped Cream A Day or Two Ahead of Time: Soften 1/2 teaspoon granulated gelatin (for each cup of cream to be whipped) in a small metal cup containing a tablespoon of cold water. Set cup in a pan of boiling water or over low heat, until gelatin dissolves and looks clear. Stirring is unneccessary. Beat dissolved gelatin into the cream just as cream begins to thicken. Gelatin will also give whipped cream extra firmness so it can be used for decorating with a pastry bag. Flavoring Whipped Cream To each cup of whipped cream, 1 of the following flavorings can be added: 2 tb sifted dark, unsweetened cocoa, 2-4 tb rum, cognac, or any liquer, 1/2 c nougat powder, 1 ts instant coffee powder. Fold flavorings into cream AFTER it has been whipped.

From: The Spectator....Aug 12/92 There is yellow squash hidden in this cake, but you'd never guess it. It's delicate, faintly sweet flavor blends right in. You can use crook neck, straight neck or even yellow zucchini, but be sure to select young squach with soft, thin skins. (why not green zucchini?) This cake, with its accent of chopped dates, needs only a simple icing to dress it up To add extra moistness and a sweet citrus flavour, poke all over the warm cake and pour optional glaze over the cake til it soaks in. Adapted from a rich recipe with sour cream and pecans created by the late Bert Greene. MMMMM
