“This
recipe is certainly silly. It says to separate the
eggs, but it doesn't say how far to separate them.”

The Ultimate Devil's Food
Cake with Cream Filling and Fudgy Frosting
print this
recipe
 Cake
1 cup unsalted butter
2 1/2 Cups sugar
2 Cups boiling water
1 Cup cocoa powder
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour or cake flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
2 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Frosting
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar
Makes a triple layer nine
inch cake
Pre-heat oven to 350
degrees. Grease and flour 3 - 9 inch cake pans.
Mix cocoa and boiling water,
stir until smooth, set aside to cool.
Sift dry ingredients
together, set aside.
In a large bowl beat butter
sugar, eggs and vanilla together. Alternately beat in the dry
ingredients and the chocolate mixture. Beat just until
blended, do not overmix. Pour batter into the three greased
pans and bake for abour 30 minutes or until a cake tester
comes out clean. Remove cakes from oven and allow them to set
for 3-5 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on a
wire rack before frosting.
Prepare filling by beating
together cream, confectioner's sugar and vanilla until stiff.
Set aside
Prepare frosting by melting the butter and chocolates together
over low heat. Stir in the cream and mix until smooth. Remove
the pan from the heat and place it in a large bowl filled with
ice. Using an electric hand held mixer or a whisk (trust me,
the electric mixer will be much easier), beat in the
confectioner's sugar until the frosting holds a stiff shape.
Chill.
Before you put the cake
together, make sure that everything has completely cooled.
Divide the filling in two and spread it between the layers.
Frost sides and top with the choclate icing. Don't worry if
some of the filling oozes out the sides while you are frosting
them, just mix it into the frosting.

This recipe was
personally SeniorArk editor tested. We added half a cup of "craisins"
(dried cranberries), and they were delicious. Instead of flattening
the dough and cutting, we spooned them onto a baking tray with a
heaping tablespoon. Yummy |

print recipe
2 Tablespoon

Prep Time: 00:45
Serves:6 |
|
Line a large baking sheet with
wax paper. Place turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons
cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4
teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix gently until combined.
Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and transfer to the
baking sheet. (You should have about 20 meatballs.) Place in
the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes or until
ready to use.
Heat oil in
a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots
and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 4
minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4
teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1
minute. Add broth, increase heat to high and bring to a
boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Carefully
submerge the meatballs in the simmering liquid; return to a
simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring
occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the
heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with jalapeno and
cilantro.
To make fresh breadcrumbs,
trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces
and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs. Poblano
peppers can be fiery or relatively mild; there's no way to
tell until you taste them. Find them at most large
supermarkets. Or substitute 2 green bell peppers plus one
minced jalapeno pepper (or more to taste). Prepare through
Step 2. Cover and refrigerate the soup and meatballs
separately for up to 1 day. To serve, reheat soup in a Dutch
oven and proceed with Step 3.

These
cookies were "safety tested"------several times------ by your
SeniorARK editor. I must have made large ones, since I got
considerably less than 6 dozen. On one occasion I filled each cookie
with three cherries from cherry pie filling. Yum Yum! (I also
skipped the raisins)
