almonds, then pour into pan. Bake in 350 F oven 60 to 70 minutes.

Title: Chocolate Coffee Cream Roll
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 6 servings
2 tb Unsalted butter
5 lg Eggs, separated
1/2 c All-purpose flour
3/4 c Granulated sugar
1/3 c Plus 2 tb unsweetened cocoa
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking powder
Coffee Cream Filling
1 1/2 c Milk
1/4 ts Salt
1 tb Cold water
3 Egg yolks
1 ts Unflavored gelatin
2 tb Instant coffee powder
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 c Heavy cream
Rich and delectable, this showy dessert makes an elegant finale to any
dinner. The coffee and cream flavors are the perfect complement to the
chocolate sponge roll.
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400
degrees F. Lightly grease a 17-by-11-inch jelly roll pan. Line with
waxed paper and grease and lightly flour the paper.
2. Prepare the chocolate roll. Melt the butter in a small pan and let
it cool slightly. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the flour, 1/3
cup of the cocoa, and the baking powder.
3. In another medium-size bowl whisk together the 5 egg yolks, 1/4
cup of the sugar, and the melted butter until light, about 1 minute.
Whisk in the vanilla. With a spoon, stir in about half of the dry
ingredients.
4. In a large, deep bowl combine the egg whites and salt; with an
electric mixer, beat until soft peaks just begin to form. Gradually
beat in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating just until stiff, glossy
peaks form.
5. Fold about one-fourth (or a large spoonful) of the egg whites into
the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Turn this mixture into the bowl of
egg whites and partially fold together. Sift the remaining dry
ingredients over the top and quickly and gently but thoroughly fold
together until no streaks remain. Quickly spread in the prepared pan
and bake 10 to 12 minutes, just until the center top springs back
when lightly touched.
6. Sift the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa onto a clean kitchen
towel. Invert the cake onto it and peel off the paper (if it has
stuck or is stubborn, lightly brush the paper with water before
peeling off). With a long, sharp knife or a serrated knife, trim away
about 1/2 inch from each edge. Start along one long side, roll up,
jelly roll fashion. Wrap in the towel and let cool to room
temperature.
7. While roll cools, prepare the coffee cream. In a medium-sized
saucepan over low heat, scald the milk until tiny bubbles appear
around the edges of the surface. Place 1 tablespoon cold water in a
cup and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let soften until needed.
8. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the sugar, flour, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the scalded milk. Place in a heavy medium-sized
saucepan over moderately low heat and, stirring constantly, cook
until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Whisk in the egg
yolks and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture comes to a
boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee powder and
dissolved gelatin until smooth; stir in the vanilla. Turn into a
shallow bowl, cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper placed directly
on the surface, and cool just to room temperature.
9. Assemble the roll. Using chilled bowl and beaters, whip the cream
until stiff. Give the coffee cream filling a good stir and fold in
about one-fourth of the whipped cream to lighten. Turn the lightened
coffee filling into the whipped cream and fold together.
10. Carefully unroll the chocolate cake onto a board. Spread all of
the coffee cream over it, making it thicker along the side where you
will begin to reroll and leaving about 1 inch uncoated along the
other long side. Reroll the chocolate cake to enclose the filling.
Leave it on the board, seam side down, cover, and chill until set, at
least 4 hours or overnight. Trim the ends and cut into slices. Serve
cold.

mixture. Beat 'til well blended. Bake about 35 minutes, or until a
straw comes out clean. Remove to racks to cool. After they are
cooled, put in 'fridge'. After 1 hour in 'fridge', split each in half
(see note at bottom.) Wrap each layer in wax paper or plastic wrap,
and freeze immediately. SOUR CREAM FILLING: Beat 3/4 c heavy cream,
gradually adding 3/4 c 10x sugar until stiff. Gently fold in 3/4 c
sour cream. Set aside in 'fridge' (covered.) CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM
FROSTING: Melt remaining (1/2 c) butter. Add 1/2 c 10x sugar and
remaining (1/2 c) cocoa. Stir with a wire whisk over low heat until
smooth; cool. Beat remaining (1 1/2 c) heavy cream; add remaining (1
1/2 c) 10x sugar until soft peaks form. Add cooled chocolate
mixture; beat until stiff. Fold in remaining (3/4 c) sour cream.
CONSTRUCTION: Build layers from the bottom up as follows: Cake, 1/3
the filling, cake, 2/3 c frosting. Repeat above twice, for total of
six layers. Put remaining frosting on sides. Chill two hours before
serving. Note: The cakes must be well-chilled before assembly, or
they will disintegrate under their own weight during assembly. If
the cake tops rose during baking, the layers will not stack well.
You will need to slice the excess off *after* chilling, but *before*
splitting into layers. Source: Someone named Judith Olney, I'm sure.

little at a time, and beat the whites until they are stiff. Sift the
flour with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt onto a sheet of wax paper.
Stir one fourth of the whites into the batter. Fold in the remaining
whites and sift and fold the flour mixture in batches into the egg
mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the cake pans, smoothing the tops, and bake the
layers in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake
tester inserted into the centers comes out clean. Let the cakes cool
in the pans on racks for 5 minutes, invert the cakes onto the racks,
and remove the wax paper carefully. Let the cakes cool completely.

dissolved, and stir in the remaining 3/4 cup raspberries. In a small
bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds soft peaks,
add the remaining 1 tbsp. granulated sugar, and beat the cream until
it holds stiff peaks. Cut the shortcakes in half.(The shortcakes are
delicate and crumble easily.) Top each bottom half with half the
raspberry mixture, divide the whipped cream between the 2 shortcakes.

Title: Chocolate Orgasms
Categories: Chocolate, Cakes
Yield: 6 servings
4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
8 tb Unsalted butter, room temp
1 1/4 c Plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
3 lg Eggs, room temp
3/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Plus 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
Frosting
1 1/2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1/4 c Evaporated milk
1/3 c Sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan
with butter or vegetable oil. Melt the chocolate and butter in the
top of a double boiler placed over simmering water. Cool the mixture
for 5 minutes.
Place the sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate
mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended,
about 25 seconds. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the
vanilla. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one at a
time, blending after each addition until the yolk is broken and
dispersed, about 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl after the last egg and
blend until velvety, about 15 more seconds.
Add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing
by hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl.
Stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the
prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 Tbsp of nuts over the top.
Bake the brownies on the center oven rack until a thin crust forms on
top and a tester inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb,
about 35 minutes. (The center of the brownies should never quite
rise to the height of the edges.)
Remove pan from oven and place on a rack to cool for 1 hour.
FROSTING: To prepare the frosting, melt the chocolate in the top of a
double boiler placed over simmering water. Pour the evaporated milk
into an electric blender and add the sugar and the melted chocolate.
Blend the frosting on medium-low speed until it thickens, about 50
seconds (the sound of the machine will change when this process
occurs.)
Using a frosting spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the surface
of the cooled brownies and allow them to sit for 1 hour before
cutting. Makes 36 small brownies.

Title: Chocolate Fudge Cake (A. K. A. Death By Chocolate)
Categories: Chocolate, Cakes
Yield: 6 servings
10 oz Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
-(do not substitute)
1/2 c Lightly salted butter
6 lg Eggs, separated, at room
-temperature
1 c Granulated sugar
2 To 4 tsp creme de cacao,
-Kahlua or dark rum
1/2 ts Vanilla
Butter and powdered cocoa
-for the pan
Frosting:
1 c Sour cream at room
-temperature
14 oz Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
-(do not substitute)
Cake:
Place oven rack in lower third of the oven, and preheat oven to 375
degrees. Butter an 8 inch springform pan, and coat with powdered
cocoa.
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over hot, but *not
boiling*, water. (don't rush this step, chocolate burns easily)
Beat egg yolks in a lg mixer bowl at high speed, gradually adding 3/4
c of the granulated sugar. Beat until yolk mixture is pale yellow
and thick, 4 to 6 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture to the yolk
mixture. Beat until completely smooth. Add vanilla and liquor of
your choice. Beat until blended.
Beat egg whites in mdm mixer bowl at high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually beat remaining 1/4 c granulated sugar into whites; continue
beating until stiff but not dry peaks form. Fold whites *gently* but
thoroughly into chocolate mixture. Pour batter evenly into pan;
smooth top.
Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees; bake another 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temp to 250; bake 30 minutes longer (total baking time is
1 hour). Turn off oven; prop open oven door and allow cake to remain
in oven for 30 minutes. Remove cake from oven and cover top with
damp paper towelling; let stand 5 minutes.
Remove towelling and cool cake completely. Dome of cake will crack
and collapse; this is normal - press top of cake down lightly to
smooth top. Remove springform and transfer cake to serving platter.
To make the frosting:
Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot but not boiling water. Using
a wooden spoon, mix in sour cream. Pour over the cake. Let cool and

2 c Sugar
1/8 ts Salt
2 oz Grated chocolate
Re: Chocolate Fudge Icing
This icing recipe is a candy recipe with milk added to make it into
frosting.
Bring to a boil in a large heavy pan:
Bring to a boil and cook covered 2-3 minutes until the steam washes
down from the sides of the pan any crystals which may have formed.
Uncover, redice heat and cook without stirring to soft-ball stage,
238 degrees. When nearing 238, there is a fine overall bubbling
with, simultaneously, a coarser patter, as though the fine bubbled
areas were being pulled down for quilting into the coarser ones.
Remove from heat without jostling or stirring. Cool the candy to
110. You may hasten this process by placing the hot pan in a larger
pan of cold water until the bottom of the pan has cooled. Add: 2 4
TBSP butter
Beat fudge partially. Add: 1 tsp vanilla
Then beat until it begins to lose its sheen. At this point the drip
from the spoon, when you flip it over, holds its shape against the
bottom of the spoon. Quickly add: 1/2 1 c. broken nut meats
Pour the fudge into a buttered pan. Cut into squares before it
hardens. To use fudge for centers, beat until thick, knead and
shape.
For chocolate fudge icing, the book says to:
Use in all: 1 c. milk
Beat until the icing is of the right consistency to be spread.

MMMMM--------------------CHOCOLATE TART CRUST-------------------------
4 oz Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet
-Chocolate
1/2 c Powdered sugar
1/2 c Slivered almonds
1/2 c Unsifted flour
1/2 c Cold butter, cut up
1/8 ts Salt
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla
MMMMM-------------------CHOCOLATE TART FILLING------------------------
1/2 c Butter, softened
1/2 c Powdered sugar
1 Egg
4 oz Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet
-Chocolate
3 tb Heavy whipping cream
1 ts Vanilla or Grand Marnier
Fresh fruit: strawberries,
-kiwi, bananas,
Green grapes, oranges, etc.
1/4 c Apricot jam
Servings: 8
DIRECTIONS: For crust: Place broken chocolate pieces, sugar and
almonds into bowl of processor or blender. Process for about 20 to 25
seconds until the mixture is like powder. On top of chocolate mixture
in food processor, spread flour, butter and salt. Process 15 to 20
pulses or until butter is in very fine pieces. (Or butter may be cut
into flour by hand using a pastry cutter, then combined with
chocolate.) Add egg and vanilla. Pulse about 15 times or stir lightly
until mixture sticks together when pinched with fingers. On plastic
wrap, knead a few times to bring dough together to form a ball;
flatten to 8". It is easier to use your fingers to pat the dough into
tart pan than to roll dough. Use a 10 1/2" flat tart pan with 1"
fluted sides. Bake in center of oven at 350-F for 15 to 18 minutes or
until baked shell springs back when touched. (Do not overbake.) Cool.
Remove outside ring of pan. Crust may be prepared a day in advance,
if desired. (MY NOTES: this crust seemed too wet before baking, but
turned out fine after about 16 or 17 minutes baking time. It was like
a brownie crust.)
Chocolate tart filling: In small mixer bowl, beat butter with sugar
and egg; beat until fluffy. Melt broken chocolate in double boiler,
stirring constantly, or microwave on medium for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
Add warm chocolate to creamed mixture and beat well. Mix in cream and
vanilla, beating until thick and creamy. Spread filling over baked
Chocolate Tart Crust. While filling is still soft, artistically
arrange fruit on top. For fruit glaze, strain apricot jam. With
pastry brush, use glaze to cover pieces of fruit and top edge of
crust. Chill about 2 hours. Decorate with chocolate curls, if
desired. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Title: Chocolate Fudge Cake
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 9 servings
1 lb Milk chocolate
1/2 lb Semisweet or
-extra-bittersweet chocolate
3/4 lb Softened butter
FUDGE CAKE
3 c Cake flour
2 c Light-brown sugar
2 1/4 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Milk
3 Eggs
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
6 oz Softened butter
MILK CHOCOLATE FROSTING
PREPARATION: FROSTING. Chop both chocolates into coarse bits and
melt in a double boiler set over hot (not boiling) water. Stir
occasionally until completely melted. Remove pan from hot water and
allow the chocolate to cool until just no longer warm to the touch,
about 20 minutes. Place the butter in a bowl and beat in the cooled
chocolate until the mixture is evenly blended, about 3 minutes.
Frosting can be stored at a cool temperature for up to 3 days, or
several months in the freezer. Heat the oven to 350F. Butter two
9-inch round cake pans and line them with buttered and floured
parchment paper or waxed paper.
FUDGE CAKE. Sift the flour. Measure 3 cups. In a large bowl, mixx
together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt,
breaking up any lumps of sugar. In a small bowl, whisk about 1/2 cup
of the milk with the eggs and vanilla; set aside. Chop the chocolate
into coarse bits and melt in a double boiler set over hot (not
boiling) water. Combine the remaining cup of milk and the butter with
the mixed dry ingredients and beat for 1 1/2 minutes, scraping the
sides of the bowl twice. Add the egg mixture in 3 parts, scraping
the sides of the bowl and beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
Add the melted chocolate and beat until just incorporated. Pour the
batter into the prepared pans and bake in the center of the preheated
oven until the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center,
25 to 30 minutes. Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes and
invert onto racks. Cool completely before frosting. Frost the top
surface of one layer of cake and top with the second layer. Spread
the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Make a
decorative pattern zigzag in the frosting by pulling a serrated knife
across the surface in a back-and-forth motion. Use a small spatula
or spoon handle to pull out spikes of frosting all around the sides.
Cake can be completed a day ahead and refrigerated.
SERVING: Return to room temperature if refrigerated. Cut into
wedges and serve.
Makes one 9-inch cake.

"The date filling makes this special, and the frosting is unusually
good. Because the cake has a custard filling, it needs to be kept
refrigerated."
Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double
boiler over barely simmering water (or in the microwave). Sift the
flour, baking powder, and salt together. In a large mixer bowl,
cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy. Add the
eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the
melted chocolate and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the
chocolate mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and
ending with the flour. Do not overbeat.
Pour the batter into three 8 inch buttered cake layer pans. Bake for
25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake has shrunk away a bit from the
sides of the pans and the tops spring back when touched with your
finger. Allow to stand in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a
rack to cool. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling and
frosting.
To make the filling, heat the milk and dates in the top of a double
boiler over hot water until the milk is scalded. Beat the egg, then
add the sugar, flour, and salt; beat again. Add 1/2 cup of the hot
milk mixture to the egg mixture, then stir back into the pan and cook
for 3 minutes, until thick, stirring with a rubber spatula. Let
cool. Add the nuts, and vanilla. Refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours before
filling the cake.
To make the frosting, combine all the ingredients in a large mixer
bowl. Beat on high speed for 1 minute, or until the frosting is light
and creamy.
To assemble, place 1 cake layer on a large plate and cover to within
1/4 inch of the edge with half the chilled filling. Top with another
cake layer and the remaining filling mixture. Finish with the last
cake layer. Frost the sides and top of the cake with the fudge
frosting forming swirls on the top with a knife. Refrigerate, but
bring to room temperature before serving.

3 Eggs, seperated
1/2 c Strong coffee
1/2 c Tia Maria
2 tb Sugar
1/2 c Heavy cream
Cake:
23 oz Brownie mix
2 tb Water
3 Eggs
Glaze:
8 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 c Water
Serves: 8 to 10
This mousse-filled, chocolate-swathed mold is an embarrassment of
riches. When served to chocolate lovers, the only sound in the room
will be faint moans of pure, unadulterated decadent pleasure.
Filling:
Melt chocolate with coffee on top of a double boiler. When chocolate
is completely melted, remove pan from heat. Beat egg yolks until
pale yellow and stir into chocolate. Gradually stir in Tia Maria.
Cool mixture.
In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar until
whites are stiff. Whip cream. Gently fold whipped cream into cooled
chocolate mixture and then fold in egg whites.
Preheat oven to 350. Beat ingredients together at medium speed of
electric mixer until batter is smooth. Grease an 11-by-15 inch
jellyroll pan. Line it with waxed paper. Grease and lightly flower
paper, shaking off any excess flower. Spread batter evenly in
jellyroll pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cake tests done.
Turn cake onto a rack and peel off paper. Lightly oil a 2-quart
charlotte mold and line with cooled cake. Cut rounds of cake to fit
both top and bottom of mold, and a strip for sides. Place smaller
round in bottom of mold. (you will probably have to piece one section
of side to cover completely, but don't worry; any patchwork will be
hidden by chocolate glaze.) Fit larger round of cake on top of mold.
Chill for 3 or 4 hours or until firm. Unmold and cover with glaze.
Melt chocolate in water and stir until smooth. Spread over top of
mousse-cake and drizzle down sides. Chill again. Serve in slender
slices ~- its indecently opulent.
Hints: Melt chocolate in microwave. Its much faster. Instructions are
on the chocolate package.
A souffle dish makes a good replacement for the Charlotte mold.

7 tb Confectioners' sugar
MMMMM----------------ASSEMBLY AND CHOCOLATE SYRUP---------------------
3 tb Chocolate chips
2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
-(preferably Dutch process)
2 tb Light corn syrup
1 tb Granulated sugar
PREPARE THE CAKE LAYERS: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two 9-inch
round cake pans with waxed paper; butter and flour the pans; tap out
any excess flour.
In a mixer bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually
add the sugar and continue beating until smooth. One at a time, beat
in the eggs until well-blended.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add to the egg mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk, mixing
only until blended. Blend in the vanilla and liqueur. Divide the
batter between the two prepared pans. Bake until the tops of the
cakes are springy to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the
oven and set on racks to cool for 30 minutes. Loosen the edges with
a knife and unmold. Peel off the waxed paper. Set the cakes on a
rack and let cool completely.
PREPARE THE FILLING: Combine the sugar, cream, chocolate and corn
syrup in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate
heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10
minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, dot
the top with the butter and let cool to room temperature, about 15
minutes. When cool, stir in the butter until the fudge filling is
smooth and creamy.
PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE CREAM: Beat the cream and cocoa until soft peaks
form. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and continue beating
until stiff.
ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Cover one cake layer with all of the fudge
filling. Sprinkle evenly with the chocolate chips. Spread 1/2 cup of
the chocolate cream on top of the chips. Top with the second cake
layer and cover the top and sides of the cake iwth half of the
remaining chocolate cream. Use the remainder in a pastry bag to
decorate the cake as desired. Refrigerate for up to 3 hours before
serving time.
PREPARE THE SYRUP: Combine the cocoa, corn syrup, sugar and 2
tablespoons of water in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer
over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Transfer
the syrup to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring
once or twice, to prevent a skin from forming.
Just before serving, drizzle the syrup over the top of the cake in a
lacy design.

Title: Death By Chocolate Cake
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 6 servings
3 pk Ladyfingers
1/2 c Dark rum
1 1/2 lb Butter (no substitutes)
27 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
12 Eggs
2 1/2 c Heavy cream
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla
2 tb Vegetable oil
From: John Totels, 25 May 89 00:13:00
Here's a recipe I recently obtained from a friend who in turn
received it from a friend .... This recipe can be made a week or so
in advance, or so I'm told. It's more like a mousse than a cake, but
it is indecently rich!
Preparation: Paint outside of the ladyfingers with rum, and place
flat side down, around the sides and on the bottom of a 10 in.
springform pan. Melt butter in medium pan; remove from heat and add
24 oz. of the chocolate bits. Stir until melted; cool slightly.
Beat the egg yokes into the mixture one at a time until all are
incorporated into the chocolate. Beat the egg whites until they form
stiff, not dry, peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture,
and pour into the lined springform pan. Chill for at least 6 hours.
Whip the cream until thickened and add the sugar and vanilla.
Continue whipping until very stiff. Turn the cake onto a serving
platter, removing the pan sides and bottom (the lady fingers will now
be on top). Spread a layer of whipped cream over the entire cake,
then pipe the rest of the whipped decoratively however you wish
around the cake - be imaginative! Melt the remaining chocolate chips
with the oil in a double boiler. Cool completely. Dribble the sauce
down the sides of the cake. Garnish with stemmed candied cherries.
Store in the refrigerator.
Should make about 16 servings, or 8 - depending....
Note: If the cake is going to be displayed for any length of time,
you may wish to use stabalized cream, and add 1 teaspoon of dissolved
gelatin to the cake mixture.
One more note: I don't know to whom the credit goes for this
"slightly" fattening recipe, and I apologize for that. But I am
passing it on to those of you who are in good health. If you are not
in good health, you use this recipe at your own risk - 12 eggs, 2-1/2
cups of cream, 27 oz. of chocolate, 1-1/2 lb. of butter (no
substitutes) - there ought to be a law! Thanks for listening.

MERINGUE LAYER
Meringue: Combine egg whites and sugar in the top of a double
boiler. Heat to lukewarm. Remove from heat. Pour into mixing bowl
and beat about 15 minutes at medium speed, until stiff. Quickly fold
in the cocoa to prevent the meringue from falling. Grease a 10"
springform pan, line with parchment paper, and grease again. Pipe
meringue through a pastry bag using the round tube, forming a spiral
on the bottom of the springform pan, starting from the center and
working out toward the sides until the bottom is completely covered.
Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours. Allow to cool in the pan. Genoise:
Grease a 10" x 3" round baking pan, line with baking parchment, and
grease again. Combine beaten eggs and sugar in the top of the double
boiler. Heat to lukewarm. Remove from the heat. Pour into a mixing
bowl and beat on high speed about 10 minutes, or until the batter
forms a ribbon. Sift the flour and cocoa into the batter and fold to
combine. Fold in the butter. Pour into the prepared pan and bake at
350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake springs back when
lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool thoroughly.
Remove from pan. Mousse: Melt chocolate in the top of a double
boiler over simmering water. Remove pan from the heat and cool. Beat
in the egg yolks, one at a time. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks
form. Lightly fold a quarter of the beaten egg whites into the
chocolate. Fold in the remaining egg whites, lightly but thoroughly.
Chill. Ganache: Heat chocolate and cream together in the top of the
double boiler over simmering water until the chocolate melts. Blend
well. Assembly: Spoon half the ganache over the meringue layer in the
pan and smooth evenly over the surface. Cut the chocolate Genoise
into two 1/4" slices, reserving the rest of the cake for another use.
Place one slice over the ganache and meringue layer. Cover with about
half the mousse. Top with the second layer of cake. Spoon the
remaining mousse over the cake and chill until set, at least four to
six hours.
Just before serving, spoon remaining ganache on the cake. Carefully
line the sides of the cake with chopped toasted almonds. Decorate the
top with hazelnut roses by placing the whole hazelnuts evenly around
the top of the cake, then place almond slices around each hazelnut to
resemble petals.

MMMMM--------------------------ASSEMBLY-------------------------------
3/4 c Apricot Preserves
Chocolate Coffee Beans
Line 2 greased jelly-roll pans, 15x10x1-inch each, with wax paper and
butter and flour the paper, shaking off excess. In a large bowl with
an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks. Add slowly 1-1/2 cups sugar,
beating, and beat the mixture until it is thick and pale and forms a
ribbon. Add the chocolate and combine the batter well. In another
large bowl with clean beaters, beat the egg whites until they hold
soft peaks. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar slowly, and beat until
whites hold stiff peaks. Stir a fourth of the whites into the yolk
mixture, fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly, and pour the
batter into the pans, spreading it evenly. Bake the cake layers in
the middle of a preheated 375°F oven for 18-20 minutes or until pick
test. Let cake layers cool in the pans, covered with kitchen towels
on large racks. Invert the cake layers onto the racks and remove the
wax paper carefully. Buttercream: In a small heavy saucepan,
dissolve sugar in 1/3 cup water over moderate heat, stirring. Bring
mixture to a boil, and boil it until it registers 240°F on a candy
thermometer. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat eggs until
they are frothy. Add sugar syrup in a thin stream, beating, and beat
the mixture until it is cool. Beat in the butter, one T at a time.
Beat in expresso powder and a pinch of salt. Beat the buttercream
until it is combined well. If necessary, chill the buttercream,
covered, until it is firm enough to spread. Ganache: In a large
heavy saucepan, bring cream just to a boil and remove from heat. Add
chocolate and stir until it is smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl
and chill, covered, stirring occasionally, until it is cool and
thickened. Do not let it solidify. Beat the mixture until it just
forms soft peaks, but do not overbeat. Assembly: Force preserves
through a fine sieve into a bowl. Transfer the cake layers to a work
surface. Trim edges and halve each layer lengthwise. On a serving
plate, arrange one layer, spread with a third of the preserves, and
spread a third of the ganache over the preserves. Top with another
layer and proceed with the preserves, ganache and cake in the same
manner, ending with a cake layer on top. Spread the sides and top of
the cake with a thin layer of buttercream an chill for 30 minutes.
Spread on additional buttercream, leaving about 1/3 cup to make
rosettes. With a pastry comb or tines of a fork, score the
buttercream lengthwise. Draw the back of a knife crosswise across
the scored buttercream at intervals. Transfer the remaining
buttercream to a small pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe
rosettes on top of the torte along the long sides and intersperse the
rosettes with chocolate coffee beans. Chill. Remove from
refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving. A 1989 Gourmet Magazine

Title: Devil's Food Cake with Fudge Frosting (U. S.)
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Text
Yield: 8 servings
1 3/4 c Sifted cake flour
1/2 c Cocoa powder (not a mix)
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c (1 stk) unsalted butter
1 1/4 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
2 lg Eggs
1 c Boiling water
FROSTING:
1/4 c (1/2 stk) unsalted butter
2 c Unsifted confectioners'
-(10X) sugar
2 Squares (1 oz each)
-unsweetened chocolate,
-melted
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
2 tb Half-and-half, milk or
-evaporated milk
CAKE:
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350F. Grease two 8-inch layer cake pans well,
then dust then generously with cocoa. (This gives the cake layers a
rich brown finish). Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt onto
a piece of waxed paper and set it aside. Cream the butter until it is
fluffy, add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until the
batter is silvery and light. Beat the eggs in one by one, then add
the sifted dry ingredients, alternately with the boiling water,
beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating well after
each addition. Divide the batter equally between the two pans,
smoothing the tops. Bake the layers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes,
or until the layers feel spongy to the touch and begin to pull away
from the sides of the pans. Cool the layers upright in their pans on
wire racks for 10 minutes, then carefully loosen them around the
edges with a spatula and turn them onto wire racks. Cool them
completely.
FOR THE FROSTING: Cream the butter until it is light, then add the
confectioners' sugar gradually, beating all the while. Beat in the
melted chocolate and vanilla, then add just enough cream to make the
frosting a good consistency for spreading. Sandwich the two cake
layers together with frosting, then frost the top and sides of the
cake. Swirl the frosting into peaks and valleys. Makes about 8

MMMMM-------------------CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM------------------------
2 c Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 c Sugar
2 ts Vanilla Extract
1/2 ts Cinnamon, Ground
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves together; set
aside. Combine chocolate and coffee in small saucepan. Cook over low
heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from
heat and cool to room temperature. Cream the butter and sugar
together in a mixing bowl, until they are light and fluffy. Use an
electric mixer set on medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating

dry ingredients alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating
well after each addition. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed
paper-lined 8-inch cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Chill large mixing bowl and beaters.
Combine cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat with an electric
mixer set at high speed until soft peaks form and mixture is thick
enough to spread. DO NOT overbeat or you will have butter instead of
whipped cream. NOTE: The original recipe came from a GI who found it
in Egypt when he was stationed there. Hence the name. The whipped
cream frosting was added later but really adds to the recipe.

Title: Hyde Park Fudge Cake
Categories: Chocolate, Cakes
Yield: 6 servings
5 1/3 oz Bitter chocolate (bakery
-uses Guittard brand)
2/3 c Shortening
2 2/3 Eggs (this is right -- comes
-from conversion of recipe)*
1 1/3 c Water
3/4 c Sour milk
1 1/3 ts Vanilla
3 c Flour
2 3/4 c Sugar
1 1/3 ts Baking soda
1 1/3 ts Salt
Icing:
3/4 c Sugar
6 tb Evaporated milk
3 oz Chocolate, unsweetened
1 1/2 ts Butter
*Whether home cooks throw in that extra 1/3 egg is up to them, but
baker and Rio Grande store manager Janine Gwaltney believes it makes a
difference. "Too much egg and the cake falls in the center," she
says.
Grease a Bundt pan. Dust with fine bread crumbs and chill.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the chocolate with the shortening.
Combine eggs, water, milk, and vanilla. Blend well. Mix flour,
sugar, soda, and salt thoroughly. (If you don't, the flour will clump
in the batter.) Gradually add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients,
blending on low speed of mixer until just mixed, scraping bowl well.
Pour into pan and bake until done, 50-65 minutes. Cool in the pan 30
minutes. Turn out on a cake rack and glaze with icing.
Icing: While cake is cooling, heat the sugar in the evaporated milk
in the top of a double boiler until the sugar is dissolved. (The
mixture will not feel grainy when rubbed between the fingers.) Melt
butter and chocolate together. Combine with chocolate mixture. You
may add one to two tsp hot water to the icing to enhance the sheen.
Pour icing over the cake.

Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 8 servings
1/2 c Boiling water
1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 c Buttermilk
1 2/3 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter, softened (1 stick)
1 1/3 c Granulated sugar
3 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla
RASPBERRY FILLING:
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1/4 c Water
1 c Heavy cream
2 tb 10 X (confectioners') sugar
1 ts Vanilla
4 Egg whites
1/8 ts Cream of tartar
1 c Raspberries
1 ts Grenadine
Garnish (Optional): whipped
-cream, orange zest,
Fresh raspberries
CHOCOLATE CAKE:
PREPARE THE CAKE: Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. 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.

*DIRECTIONS*
*For the nicest looking shiny glaze, serve this cake on the day it is
completed. The cake remains moist and delicious, however, for several
days.
PREPARATION: Heat oven to 325F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square or
10-inch round cake pan. Cut the 4 ounces of chocolate into small
pieces and melt in the top of a double boiler set over hot water,
stirring frequently. Remove pan from hot water and cool slightly. In
a food processor, nut grinder or blender, grind the 4 ounces of
almonds to a powder. If you use a processor or blender, put 2
tablespoons of the sugar in the machine along with the nuts. Put
ground nuts through a sieve to get rid of any remaining chunks. Toss
the powdered almond mixture with the flour. Separate the eggs. Beat
together the butter and 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar until creamy
and light. Add the melted chocolate and the extract. Add the egg
yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Beat
the whites to stiff peaks, add the remaining sugar, and beat until
glossy. Fold in nut mixture. Gently followed egg white mixture into
chocolate just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared
pan. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the
center of the cake comes out almost clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in
the pan for about 10 minutes. Divide into individual servings if
desired. Recipe can be made to this point up to a day ahead.
CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Heat the chocolate and butter in the top of a double
boiler set over hot water, stirring frequently, until just melted.
Remove from hot water. Cool the chocolate glaze just until it
thickens. It should remain pourable. Glaze whole cake or individual
servings on a rack set over a pan to catch drippings. Garnish with
almonds if desired.
Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Sift togetehr the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
into a large mixing bowl. Add shortening, sour cream, vanilla, eggs,
water and chocolate (melted then cooled). Beat with an electric
mixer at low speed, scraping bowl constantly, for 1/2 minute.
Increase speed to high and beat an additional 3 minutes, scraping
bowl occasionally. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed-paper lined
9-inch round cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350°F. Oven for 35
minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10
minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on the racks. Place one
cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Sour Cream / Chocolate
Frosting. Top with second cake layer. Frost sides and top of the
cake with the remaining Sour Cream/Chocolate Frosting. 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.

something that's not possible with a mix. 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 350°. 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.

Title: The Ultimate Chocolate Mousse Cake
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 16 servings
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. MOCHA FUDGE MOUSSE CAKE: Make
the Ultimate Chocolate Mousse cake, prefereably using
extra-bittersweet chocolate. In step 2, add 2 tablespoons instant
expresso powder to the melted chocolate and butter. In step 5, pour
halfe the chocolate mousse batter into the prepared springform pan
and drizzle with have the Hot fudge (see recipe). Add the remaining
batter and drizzle on the remaining fudge. PRALINE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
CAKE: Make the Ultimate Chocolate Mousse Cake, preferably using
extra-bittersweet chocolate. In Step 2, add 1/2 cup praline paste
(see note) to the melted chocolate and butter. Garnish, if desired
with toasted hazelnuts. (Toasted pecans are also nice). NOTE: Praline
paste can be ordered from Maison Glass, 52 E. 58th St., New York, NY
10022; 212 755-3316. CHOCOLATE FRUIT MOUSSE CAKE: Make the Ultimate
Chocolate Mousse Cake, preferably using extra-bittersweet chocolate.
In Step 2, add 3/4 cup raspberry jelly or melted and strained apricot
jam to the melted chocolate and butter.
Garnish the cake with a sparkling glaze of 1/2 cup melted raspberry
jelly or strained appricot jam mixed with 1 Tablespoon framboise
(raspberry eau-de-vie). Spoon this glaze over the top of the cake
and immediately spread into a thin, even layer with a long, narrow
spatula. BRANDIED CHERRY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE: Make the Brandied
Cherrys (see recipe) at least a day ahead. Make the Ultimate
Chocolate Mousse Cake (using semi-sweet chocolate). After Step 4,

Title: Tunnel of Fudge Cake
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
Yield: 6 servings
3 1/2 Sticks butter or margarine,
-softened (14 oz)
1 3/4 c Sugar
6 Eggs
2 3/4 c Powdered sugar
2 1/4 c Flour
1 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
2 c Chopped walnuts (8 oz.) **
1 1/2 tb (to 2 Tbsp.) milk
"In 1966 a chocolate cake called the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, made with a
boxed frosting mix, won the Pillsbury BAKE-OFF Contest. 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.

Title: Whoopee Pies
Categories: Chocolate, Snacks, Cakes
Yield: 6 servings
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Solid White Vegetable
-Shortening
2 c Unbleached Flour
1/2 c Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 ts Baking Soda
1 ts Salt
1 c Milk
2 ts Vanilla Extract
FILLING:
1/2 c Butter, Softened (1 Stick)
7 1/2 oz Marshmallow Creme (1 Jar)
3/4 c Confectioners' Sugar
1/4 c Solid White Vegetable
-Shortening
1/2 ts Vanilla Extract
Yield: About 20 "Pies"
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 or 4 baking sheets and
set aside.
TO MAKE THE PIES:
Beat the sugar and shortening in the large bowl of an electric mixer
until well blended. Mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a
medium-sized bowl with a wire whisk until light and thoroughly
combined. (Using the wire whisk to blend the dry ingredients, in
this case, makes sifting unnecessary.) With the electric mixer
running on low speed, add the flour mixture and milk alternately to
the sugar mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture,
beating well after each addition. beat in the vanilla.
Drop the batter by heaping measuring TBLS. 2 inches apart on the
prepared baking sheets. (The little cakes will be about 2 1/2 inches
in diameter after baking) You should have about 40 cakes. Bake for
15 minutes or until cakes spring back when touched lightly. Remove
to wire racks to cool.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
In a large bowl, combine the butter, marshmallow creme, sugar,
shortening and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes, using an electric mixer
set on high speed, until light and fluffy.
ASSEMBLY:
Place about 1 TBS of filling on the flat sides of half the cakes. Top
with the remaining cakes and press together so that the filling
squashes out the sides a little.
NOTE:
Because of all the butter in the filling, these pies should not be
held at room temperature indefinitely. Pies that are not to be eaten
soon after baking should be wrapped in plastic film and refrigerated
or frozen for future use.

Title: Caramels Au Chocolat (Chocolate Caramels)
Categories: Chocolate, Candies
Yield: 1 servings
3 c Milk
13 oz Powdered sugar
Eggsize piece of glucose
3 1/4 oz Chocolate in tablets
1 1/2 oz Butter
1/2 Vanilla bean
Put milk, sugar, vanilla bean and glucose into a stewpan. Put the
chocolate into a round-bottomed copper pan and melt it slowly on the
stove. Meanwhile, heat the mixture in the stewpan, not letting it
boil, since you merely want to melt the sugar and glucose. When
completely melted, pour this mixture, bit by bit, into the chocolate,
while stirring. When thoroughly mixed, cook at moderate heat,
constantly stirring. Cook to the 'ball' stage. (To test the stage of
cooking by finger, dip the thumb and index finger into cold water,
then into the mixture, bringing the 2 fingers together and dipping
them again into water. This should be done quickly to avoid burning.
The mixture forms a ball that can be rolled with the tip of the
fingers.) Remove from the fire, add the butter, mix well, and pour
onto an oiled marble slab in an oiled, iron framework. Let cool and
cut.

Title: Fudge a la Louise
Categories: Candies, Chocolate, Christmas
Yield: 6 servings
4 c Sugar
3 Squares dark baking
-chocolate
1 1/3 c Milk
2 tb Butter, plus extra for
-greasing platters
1 c Chopped nuts
1 1/3 ts Vanilla
In a heavy saucepan mix together the sugar, chocolate, and milk.
Place the pan over high heat and stir constantly until the choclate
is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a full boil, and lower
the heat so the candy continues to boil gently, not vigorously. Stir
no more. Put a candy thermometer into the center of the mixture and
cook until the temperature reaches exactly 232 F. Meanwhile, butter a
large platter (turkey size) and a flat pan about 11 by 13 inches.
When the fudge reaches 232 F., pour it into the readied platter - do
not scrape the pan, but let it drip out. Dot with 2 tablespoons
butter and let the mixture cool until the platter feels cool
underneath. Add vanilla. Take a large slotted spoon and start to stir
the liquidy mixture - it will take about 15 or 20 minutes. You will
see a steady change from dark to light color, from glossy to dull,
from liquid to solid. When the fudge begins to get dull, add the nuts
and mix in thoroughly. Put fudge into the large buttered pan and
press into shape with the flat of your palms. Cut into squares; store
in airtight container if there's any left.

Title: Truffes Au Chocolat (Chocolate Truffles)
Categories: Chocolate, Candies, Christmas
Yield: 1 servings
3 oz Chocolate
1 1/2 oz Butter
2 oz Powdered sugar
2 tb Fresh cream
Preparation: Put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan. The
chocolate need not be grated fine. The cream can be replaced by
skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed to
settle. Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler,
stirring to mix well. When melted, remove the double boiler from the
fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm. Sift
the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps,
stirring constantly. Let stand 24 hr. in a cool place. (In winter, 12
hr. in a cold room will do.) At the end of this time, cut a piece of
this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a knife or spoon.
Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the
bonbon begins to melt a little. Then roll it in grated or granulated
chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly. Let stand 2 hr. before
serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles
are better when they are a little soft. Instead of rolling them into
balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.

1 3/4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
2 c Half & Half
1 tb Vanilla Extract
4 c Whipping Cream
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip
- Cookie Dough (large size)
- OR homeade cookie dough
Take the chocolate cookie dough out of fridge and leave out till
needed. Scald milk until bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat.
Add sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Stir in half and half,
vanilla, and whipping cream. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Freeze
as directed by your ice cream machine's instructions. Once ice cream
has been through the entire ice cream machine process and is now a
chilled soft ice cream, add the chocolate chip cookie dough. Just
break up the dough as best you can with your hands and drop it in
small clusters into the soft ice cream. Try to mix it around to
ensure that the cookie dough is evenly distributed throughout the ice
cream. Put the ice cream in the freezer for several hours until
hardened. Origin: We pretty much took our vanilla ice cream recipe

1/4 c Chocolate covered almonds;
- cut in half
4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 c Milk
2 lg Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 c Heavy or whipping cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 pn Salt
Combine the coarsely chopped chocolate, pecans, walnuts and chocolate

mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar,
a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended,

stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and
nuts, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
Makes one Generous Quart. Note: "New York Super Fudge Chunk was
developed as a regional flavor for the sophisticated New York palate.
After coming up with several variations in our Burlington lab,we
packed the samples in dry ice and shipped them by bus to our New york
consultants, a group of musicians on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Following several weeks of refinement and discussion, we all agreed
on this final recipe- a chocolate lover's dream."

Title: Brownie Cookies
Categories: Desserts, Cookies, Chocolate
Yield: 48 servings
4 oz Semisweet chocolate
2 1/3 c Sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 t Baking powder
1 c Granulated sugar
2 ea Egg
3/4 c Finely chopped walnuts
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 t Baking soda
1/4 lb Unsalted butter
1 T Vanilla extract
1 T Milk
1. Melt the chocolate over hot water. 2. Sift the flour, baking
soda, and baking powder together. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of a
mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar slowly and continue to beat.
Add the vanilla, then the eggs 1 at a time. Add the chocolate and
stir to blend. 4. Stir in the dry ingredients and the milk by hand.
When just blended, mix in the walnuts. Cover and refrigerate dough
for 30 minutes before rolling. 5. Preheat oven to 375 degres. Lightly
grease a cookie sheet. 6. To form the cookies, scoop out a portion of
dough and roll out on a well-floured surface. When dough is 1/4 inch
thick, cut it into rounds or other desired shapes. Re-roll scraps and
cut again. 7. Place on cookie sheet (leave room for expansion) and
bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for any hot spots in the oven and
don't let these cookies overbrown. VARIATION: For the Brownie Cookie
Crust, make 1 recipe of Brownie Cookies and chill the dough briefly.
Lightly grease the back side of a large baking sheet. Roll the dough
out onto the baking sheet as thinly as possible so that the baked
product will crumble easily. Bake crust at 375 degrees for 5 to 7
minutes. Let crust harden, then slide the cookie from the sheet and
cool completely. Roll over the cookie with a rolling pin until it is
crushed to a fine crumb. (There should be about 2 1/4 cups of
crumbs.) Melt 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Mix it
into the crumbs and pack the mixture over the bottom and up the sides
of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes before filling in
order to set the crust. Note: When I made this, I made individual
cookie crumb crusts for the "Kit's Chocolate Mousse" recipe by using
a large muffin pan. Line each cup with waxed paper for easy removal.

2 oz German cooking chocolate *
1 x Dash salt
1/4 t Vanilla
* German cooking chocolate should be coarsely chopped.

chocolate, sugar and salt. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power
about 1 1/2 minutes or till chocolate is melted, stirring every 30
seconds. Stir about HALF of the hot mixture into the beaten egg
yolks. Return all to the bowl, mixing well. Micro-cook, uncovered,

seconds. Stir in vanilla. Pour into 2 pot de creme cups or 6-ounce
custard cups. Cover and chill for several hours or till firm.
Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. NOTE: ~---- SELECTING THE
RIGHT CHOCOLATE: You'll find three basic types of chocolate in the
baking supplies department of most supermarkets--semisweet chocolate,
unsweetened chocolate, and sweet chocolate. The semisweet chocolate
is made from chocolate that is just slightly sweetened with sugar.
Unsweetened chocolate is the original baking or cooking chocolate and
has no added flavorings or sugar. And sweet chocolate, such as the
German cooking chocolate used in the Chocolate Pots de Creme recipe,
is chocolate mixed with sugar and sometimes additional cocoa butter
or flavorings.

Categories: Desserts, Chocolate
Yield: 12 servings
18 oz Semisweet chocolate
6 ea Egg
2 T Creme de cacao
2 c Heavy cream; well chilled
2 T Confectioner's sugar
1 T Vanilla extract
1. Melt the chocolate over hot water. Let it cool until only warm. 2.
While the chocolate cools, whip the cream until it forms medium-stiff
peaks. Do not overbeat or the mousse will lose some of its smooth,
light texture. 3. Separate 4 of the eggs and set the whites aside.
Combine yolks with the 2 remaining whole eggs in the bowl of an
electric mixer. Beat until eggs are thick and lemon colored, around 5
minutes. While the yolks are beating, place the 4 egg whites in a
clean copper or stainless steel bowl and whisk, preferably by hand,
until the whites start to stiffen. Sprinkle on the confectioners'
sugar and beat until you have firm peaks. 4. Working quickly, add the
cooled melted chocolate and a scoop of the whipped cream to the egg
yolks. Stir until smooth, then add the remaining cream. When it is
fully incorporated, add the liqueur and vanilla, then fold in the
whites until just blended. 5. This mousse can be poured into small
individual serving dishes or into 1 larger dessert dish. Chill at
least 4 hours before serving. (Chilling it overnight intensifies the
flavor.) The mousse may be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Remove from the
freezer and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

recipe, then fill it with the mousse. Chill for 4 hours, then pipe

Title: Mole Poblano Picante
Categories: Poultry, Stew, Mexican, Chocolate
Yield: 6 servings
8 Mulato chiles
4 Ancho chiles
4 Pasilla chiles
8 lb Turkey, in pieces
4 tb Lard
4 tb Sesame seeds
1 lg Onion, chopped
2 Cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tortilla, cut up
1 c Blanched almonds
1/8 ts Ground gloves
1/8 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground coriander seed
1/4 ts Anise
1/2 c Raisins
3 Tomatoes, seeded, chopped
4 Canned chipotle chiles
2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 ts Sugar
Prepare the mulato, ancho, and pasilla chiles by washing in cold
water; removing veins, stems, and seeds; and tearing them roughly
into pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl and soak in hot water (about
1 cup to 6 chiles) for about an hour. Blend the chiles with the
soaking water in a blender, but do not over blend. The texture should
remain coarse.
Place the turkey pieces in a flameproof casserole with a lid, and
poach, covered, in salted water to barely cover for 1 hour. Drain,
reserving the stock. Dry the turkey pieces thoroughly with paper
towels. Heat the lard in a skillet, and brown the turkey pieces, a
few at a time. Arrange the turkey pieces in the casserole and keep
warm. Combine 2 tbs of the sesame seeds, the onion, garlic, tortilla,
almonds, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seed, anise, raisins, tomatoes,
prepared chiles, and chipotle chiles, and reduce, bit by bit, to a
coarse puree in the electric blender.
Heat the remaining lard in a skillet, adding, if necessary, a little
more lard to bring it up to 3 TBS. Cook the puree, stirring
constantly, for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the turkey stock,
chocolate, salt and pepper to taste, and the sugar, and cook, over
very low heat, until the chocolate has melted. Pour the sauce over
the turkey; cover; and cook over the lowest possible heat for 1 hour,
stirring occasionally. The sauce should be rather thicker than the
consistency of heavy cream. If it seems too thin, thin with turkey
stock. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds just before serving.
NOTE: Chipotle chile and its close relative morita chile have the most
exotic flavor of any of the Mexican chiles. They are also exceedingly
picante and can really lift your head off. If you do not care for hot
food, experiment with the chipotle, for even in a small quantity its
flavor will survive. Begin with a half chile, tasting and adding more
to your mole with caution until you find the amount that suits your
taste.

Title: Mole Poblano De Dos Chiles
Categories: Poultry, Mexican, Pork, Chocolate
Yield: 6 servings
6 Mulato chiles
6 Pasilla chiles
8 lb Turkey, in pieces
1 lb Pork loin, in 2" chunks
4 tb Lard
1/2 c Almonds
1/2 c Peanuts
1 Tortilla, coarsely chopped
4 tb Sesame seeds
1/8 ts Ground cloves
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Anise
1 lb Tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 ts Sugar
Prepare the chiles as described above in the recipe for Mole Poblano
Picante. Place the turkey and pork in a large kettle with enough
salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook, covered, for 1
hour. Drain, reserving the stock. Dry the turkey and pork pieces
thoroughly with paper towels. Heat the lard in a large, heavy
skillet. Brown the turkey and pork pieces, a few at a time; then
transfer to a flameproof casserole. In the electric blender, blend
the almonds, peanuts, tortilla, 2 tbs of the sesame seeds, cloves,
cinnamon, anise, tomatoes, and the prepared chiles, and reduce to a
coarse puree.
Heat the lard remaining in the skillet, adding a little more if
necessary, and cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add 2 cups of the reserved stock, the chocolate, salt and pepper to
taste, and sugar. Stir until chocolate has melted. Pour the sauce
over the turkey and pork in the casserole; cover; and cook over very
low heat for about 1 hour, taking care not to let it burn. Sauce
should be the consistency of heavy cream, so, if necessary, thin with
more stock. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds just before serving.

4 c Of water
1 Jar of mole
1/4 c Of tomato sauce
1/2 tb Of Mexican chocolate
1 Cube of chicken bouillon

I hope you can get mole, but if you can't let me know. Cause my
brother got address to companies that sell Mexican spices, sauces,
and products. I'll get back to you with the empanadas recipe, when I
corner my mom. Later. Susy
