RECIPE: Flourless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Comments (10)Lori, that cake does sound delicious, and other than the corn syrup and the sugar (which I can substitute Splenda for in the recipe), it would be perfect for our low-carb diet. Would anyone have any ideas as to what I could possibly substitute for the corn syrup? I'd really like to surprise my hubby with it (he loves his dessert)....See MoreDecorating a chocolate chocolate cake
Comments (8)So....make homemade marshmallows. They are so easy and much better than store bought. or meringue mushrooms: Make meringue with equal weights egg whites and superfine sugar with 1/8 tsp cream of tarter and a pinch of salt per egg white. Pipe tops and stems smoothing any pointy bits on tops with a finger dipped in water. Bake long and slow. I do 190 overnight. Assemble by dipping bottom of tops in chocolate (or spread on with spatula) and push onto base. Dust with coco powder. Easy peasy and super impressive Here is a link that might be useful: Has anyone ever made marshmallows?...See MoreAbout that 'perfect' chocolate cake
Comments (16)Georgiesmom-Thanks for clearing that up! LOL I do remember now that it was patti that made it and posted how good it was. Carla-I'm pretty syre I measured right.I got out the measuring spoons ahead as I was assembling the ingredients.I have been busy today and haven't had time to google it and seeif my recipe was copied correctly. After 15 min or so the batter had run out of the pans and what was left was so thin it was done and pretty much stuck to the pan!LOL Patti43-I did try to salvage it.I got as much as possible out of the pans in one piece the molded all the rest together.I felt like I was a potter.I iced it and it is still sitting on the counter in the cake holder.I may have to just try it in a bit and see what it is like.May have to throw the whole thing away. I cleaned the oven today and what a mess.Scraped of as much as I could then set the self cleaning cycle.had to open kitchen windows and turn on the vent-a-hood and ceiling fan.It was smoking as bad as it did yesterday when everything was burning in the bottom of the oven!I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the fire department! LOL So Sue,does that mean that cocoa was made in China? Probably so! Strange.Well I'm going to go try that cake.I may check back with the taste test results before I go to bed....See MoreIs Anything Cooking in Your Kitchen This Weekend?
Comments (35)Made my first batch of cooked eggnog on Sat so it could chill overnight. I dose it with rum and bourbon, and like to try different brands. A friend visited Cuba earlier last year (before travel was closed down again) and I told him to buy me a bottle or two of the most expensive Cuban rum he could find. I offered to give him money upfront - I was thinking $100 - but he said since we didn't know what he would be able to find, he'd just ask for reimbursement when he returned. So he comes back with a bottle of 7-yr old rum for me. Gives it to me and says, "$15, please". I'm dumbfounded. "Is that ALL? Really? $15?!? The last specialty rum I bought was $50!" "Oh - well, they did have one for $40," he admitted. I had to close my eyes, I was so pained. Hey, he meant well and schlepped it all the way back to the West Coast to bring to me. And the $15 bottle he did get is absolutely lovely, better than Mt. Gay which is twice the price. I had not opened it until now, and it was a great addition to the nog. The thing is, the rum distillery in Cuba was the original Bacardi Rum factory. When the Communists took over, they kicked Bacardi out but kept making the same rum. I figured this was my only chance to get a true old-style rum - and unfortunately, travel there is now banned again. Sigh. The 7-yr old rum is so good....I and my rum-drinking friend (who also swooned over a taste of it) agree we cannot even imagine what the $40 rum must be like! LOL - that's my holiday anecdote for the season!...See More- 14 years ago
