Honey and pine nut tart? The thought brought on a full-body bone, and the pic edged me to almost O-- the best porn i've seen here in a long time. NudeYorker-- All Hail!
Chiffon Cake
All ingredients should be room temperature. Heat oven to 325 and use an ungreased 10" tube pan.
In a large bowl sift together all dry ingredients
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour (or triple sift all purpose flour I use Hacker's If I can't find Swans Down flour)
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
In another bowl beat at high speed until smooth
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup fresh orange or lemon juice (I prefer orange)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I like Crisco oil)
two table spoons of either orange or lemon zest(I prefer orange)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix with the flour mixture until smooth.
In another bowl beat on medium speed until soft peaks form
8 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
Once soft peaks have formed gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar and beat until stiff but not dry.
Fold the egg white mixture into the batter mixture 1/4 at a time very carefully until blended evenly
Put the batter in the pan evenly and smooth the top.
Bake about 55 minutes until the top springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool upside down for 1 1/2 hours and then remove from the pan.
The icing is simple if you just want to cover the top and dribble the sides make a single batch if you want to ice the whole cake make a double batch.
1/2 stick of melted unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix until smooth and cool, ice cake immediately. This cake should be refrigerated and will stay moist for about 5 days.
Enjoy!
About those cinnamon rolls
My "make everything from scratch" Aunt Vera was famous for showing up with a huge baking dish full of cinnamon rolls. Cinnabuns are pale, tasteless piles of dry dough in comparison. She lived about 300 miles from everyone else in the family, so when she showed up she would bring two or three large rectangle baking dishes full of warm cinnamon rolls and take bake her empty dishes.
When she died her two boys discovered that the old chest freezer in Aunt Vera's garage was filled with nothing but pyrex baking dishes. Half were filled with cinnamon rolls already baked, waiting to be thawed out within the Century. The other half was filled with unbaked cinnamon rolls, waiting to be thawed and the dough raised for making everyone think she had been up since 3:00 AM slaving over an ancient MixMaster getting ready for a family reunion. Clever girl.
One thing she never gave away or told anyone was her particular cinnamon roll recipe. She never wanted her daughters-in-law to be able to replicate her particularly famous and wildly popular baked goods. Evil bitch.
awwwwwwwww sweety, I can`t promise that!:frown1:Thank you Nudeyorker, as always...
and luka, plz don't forget taking a picture and show it to us here!
Do you have an electric mixer? If not a pastry cutter or two knives should do the trick. I have to admit if I did not have a KitchenAid stand mixer and a Cuisinart food processor I would not spend nearly as much time in the kitchen as I do now.
:kiss:Nudeyorker...I'm in love with you!!! :wink:
