Sherry (sheshebop) your prizewinning recipe

15 years ago

Hi Sherry

We've been invited on a boat ride and I want to bring a FABULOUS dessert. I bought the pan I needed to make your mousse filled cake but now I can't find the recipe.

Do you mind posting it for me? And the pic?

Thanks

I don't have the recipe with my right now, and I am frantically packing and getting ready for a very short-notice spontaneous trip, so I can't really post it, but it sounds like you decided to go with cookies and bars anyway. Can I send it to you another time? Also, where did you find the Maryann pan? Just curious since I have been unable to find another one.

It was a big success! As a bonus, it was great as part of a vegetarian dinner. Here's the recipe: Spinach Brownies (Sheshebop) 1 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed 16 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup chopped onion (I use a whole small onion) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 cup flour 2 eggs, beaten 4 Tb. butter, melted 1 cup milk Drain spinach in colander and squeeze out moisture (I squeeze with my hands to get it very dry). Combine cheese, spinach, and onion in a large bowl. Mix together. Stir salt and baking powder into flour and mix with spinach mixture. Mix eggs, butter, milk and stir into other ingredients. Pour into buttered 8x12 pan. Bake 35 minutes at 350. MtnesterÂs notes: I used a 16-oz bag of frozen chopped spinach. Also, I mixed two 8-oz bags of shredded cheddar: one mild and one sharp. Very easy to make, and the family loved it! Thanks again, Sherry. Sue

Like you, I always have oil and cocoa powder, but not always butter or bars/chips/unsweetened chocolate. And the brownies are really good. Sherry (sheshebop) usually put chocolate ganache on them and chocolate chips in them, LOL, gilding the lily. I like them just plain, they're easy and fast and yummy and make a big pan, I'm glad you like them too. And I'll be sure to let Sherry know the next time I talk to her! Annie

Wow! I haven't been here in ages and you did not forget me! Makes me feel good. Hello to all my friends, and thank you Pam for telling me about this thread. I think of you all a lot, but life is just so different for me now, and time is at a premium. I am still raising two little grandkids (for the last two years) and that is two full time jobs! I have lost 56 lbs on Weight Watchers, so try not to cook like I used to, but I still miss all the wonderful awesome recipes that I got from all of you. I will try to stop by now and then and say Hi. You are not forgotten siether! Sherry

I'm late posting this one but it has been a big hit with my group more than once!! I'd love a copy of all of the recipes when time allows. Posted by dishesdone (My Page) on Fri, Mar 10, 06 at 21:26 This was also in this month's Chocolatier magazine and looked sinful! Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake with Frozen Milk Frozen Milk: 3 1/2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Chocolate cake: 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons alkalized cocoa powder (preferably Valrhona), sifted 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup canola oil 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water Ganache: 1 pound milk chocolate (preferably Valrhona Jivara or Guittard) 1 1/2 cups heavy cream Dacquoise layer: 1/3 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped Peanut butter crunch: 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup Skippy creamy peanut butter 3 ounces milk chocolate (preferably Valrhona Jivara or Guittard) 1 cup Rice Krispies Make the Frozen Milk: Combine all ingredients except vanilla extract. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Transfer mixture to medium bowl and set bowl in large bowl filled one-third of way with ice water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chilled, about 20 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Process in ice cream machine according to manufacturers instructions. (Frozen Milk is best when served the same day.) Make chocolate cake: Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9" x 13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients except water; pour into dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. Add boiling water and stir to combine. Pour into prepared pan and bake until cake springs back when touched in middle, about 30-40 minutes. Cool cake in pan set on wire rack for 20 minutes. Invert cake onto rack and cool completely. Make ganache: Melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler. In small saucepan, bring cream to a gentle boil and gradually whisk into melted chocolate. Set aside. Make dacquoise: Position rack in the center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Using 13" x 9" baking pan as a guide, trace a rectangle onto a piece of parchment paper. Turn paper over and place on a large baking sheet. Combine sliced almonds and confectioners' sugar in food processor and process until finely ground. Set aside. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites on medium speed to soft peaks, gradually adding granulated sugar while whipping. Once stiff and shiny, fold in almond flour mixture. Spread into 9" x 13" rectangle on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped peanuts and bake until browned, 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool on wire rack. Make peanut butter crunch: In medium bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and chocolate. Place bowl over saucepan filled one-third of way with simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in Rice Krispies. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over dacquoise. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut chocolate cake in half horizontally for form 2 layers. Spread one-third of ganache on top of bottom half. Remove dacquoise from freezer and peel off parchment paper. Place dacquoise, peanut butter crunch-side up, on top of ganache covered cake; gently press to remove any air pockets. Spread half of remaining ganache over peanut butter crunch. Place second half of cake on top. Refrigerate until ganache is set, about 1 hour. Using serrated knife, carefully trim off rough edges of cake. Rewarm remaining ganache over a pot of simmering water, and spread over top of cake. Serve a square of cake with a scoop of frozen milk. Recipe by Nancy Olson, Peacock Alley, Waldorf-Astoria, NYC from Chocolatier Magazine March 2006 Note: I served store bought Ice Cream so I can't comment on the Frozen Milk.

Sherry, I emailed you directly earlier this afternoon when I didn't have access to the web.

Lindac, that pan hasn't been available on Amazon for at least a year and it's been discontinued by Chicago Metallic as well. Their office is a couple of miles from my house so I gave them a call and they didn't have any either but were able to tell me some small specialty stores around the country that they had sold them too. The last went to TJ Maxx which I thought was hopeless and W-S didn't have any left either. To make a long story short, I started calling all the stores from Hawaii, to North Carolina, Texas and finally found one in up state New York.

This was a few months ago when Sherry first shared the recipe with me. My bad that I can't find it but I do look forward to making it when she reposts.

Have a wonderful trip Sherry. Hope it's an enjoyable one.

Linda, GREAT alternative but keep in mind that's an 8" pan, the original was 10.5 and a bit taller too so if you make a cake in the smaller one, be prepared for some cup cakes too :)

I think this is the recipe you were looking for, yes?

Ilana, that recipe did not come from here. It is my own recipe. I got your e-mail about wanting the recipe, but it has been crazy with the grandkids this weekend. Here goes:

Chocolate Mousse
8 oz. good quality chocolate, chopped (I use Callebaut semisweet, but have been known to round off it off with Ghiradelli chips)
2 egg yolks, beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1-3/4 cup whipping cream
Combine chocolate, egg yolks, 3/4 cup whipping cream in a small pan. Cook over medium heat until it starts to bubble around the edges. Remove from heat.
Pour into a large bowl and set it in a larger bowl of ice cubes. Stir frequently and do not let it get cold or it will turn hard. Just take the warm off so it doesn't melt the whipped cream that you will put in it. (f you do get it too thick and cold, just remelt and try again)
Beat 1 cup whipped cream just until thickened. You can beat to soft peaks, but the mousse will be pretty thick. However, I often beat until peaks form, and it is not a problem.)
Fold the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until chilled. (At least 2-5 hours) and up to overnight.
You can top with more whipped cream, if desired.

This is my favorite, and is so easy to make. I have tried lots of different ways to make it, but this was the one, when used as a filling on my Kahlua chocolate cake that won a prize at a chocolate contest. (Best of show, 2nd overall)

Here is the Kahlua cake recipe
2 cvups flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/4 tsp baking soda
1-1/4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup cooking oil
1 Tbs. vanilla
3/4 cup stong coffee, cooled
1/2 up Kahlua (I have made with more Kahlua than coffee, and it was to boozy tasting)
Mix ingredients together like you usually do for a cake (Mixture will be thin) Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
I have also made this with amaretto. You could use creme de cocoa or an orange liquor as well)

I do it in a Maryann pan, and it looks beautiful. You can decorate the top with whipped cream piped on. I decorated with edible orchids.

For anyone interesting in buying a Marianne Pan, Chef's Corner Store has the larger one (10.9 x 10.9 x 2.5) for $26 plus shipping. It's Nordic Ware and they are calling it a "Fancy Marianne Cake Pan". It's basketweave on the sides and it's really quite pretty. Also, Amazon is selling the Williams Sonoma "Daisy Ann" pan for $15. It's the larger one, too, and very pretty. Personally, I like the Nordic Ware quality (I have a few of their bundt pans), but Daisy Ann seems to be an equally beautiful sister to Marianne.

Thanks Lorijean for the recipe and paprikash for the suggestions on pans.

I did see the Nordicware pan but it's too fancy for me. I like clean simple lines. The Daisy Ann pan is nice, I never did come across that one in my search. However I was looking quite a while ago. I originally got the recipe from Sherry after the last Chicago (well maybe it wasn't the last Chicago) meetup and bought the pan then.

BTW, I will be making this cake - probably for the High Holidays coming up - but it won't be coming on the boat ride this weekend.
