Back to Recipe List	* Exported from MasterCook * Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Cake ala Doris Recipe By : Doris Guyer Serving Size : 25 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 14-07 Jul 2011 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Cake: 2 packages Vanilla Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix [18.25 ounces each] 10 drops green food coloring 12 ounces mini chocolate chips 3 teaspoons mint flavoring Ice Cream: 4 cans sweetened condensed milk 3 pints heavy whipping cream [not non-dairy whipped topping] 22 ounces Nesquik chocolate syrup Frosting: 24 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed 1 container Smucker's Chocolate Sundae Syrup Ice Cream Topping [20 ounces] WARNING: Before attempting this ice cream cake, make certain you have a cake board large enough and strong enough to hold the cake when finished AND that you have a freezer available that will hold the board, cake and ice cream when assembled. We used a Wilton's 14 x 14-inch cake pan to make this dessert and a 1/2-inch piece of plywood covered in newspapers (for padding) and heavy duty aluminum foil. I made certain the board and cake pan fit in the freezer we wanted to use for this effort. Obviously, if you down-size this recipe it will be easier to handle and freeze. We use this size pan when we make cakes for parties and other special occasion. This one happened to be for our grandson's 16th birthday. Photos of the cake and this recipe can be found at: http://www.fareshare.net/photo_icecreamcake.html INSTRUCTIONS: Cake: Prepare a cake board that will hold the finished product. See WARNING above. Spray your cake pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Place it in the pan and lightly spray it also. This is extremely important to do to get the cake cleanly out of the pan, especially large cakes. Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions. As you are mixing the cake, add the food coloring, mint flavoring and chocolate chips. When baked, cool slightly. Turn out on the prepared cake board. Cool thoroughly and set aside. Ice Cream: Line the same pan (or a pan of the same size) with heavy duty aluminum foil. Stir together the sweetened condensed milk the Nesquik chocolate syrup in a large bowl. Whip the whipping cream until it forms peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the milk and syrup mixture. Pour into the prepared pan. Freeze for 6 - 10 hours or until firm. Note: After 6 hours, we decided to turn our freezer temperature to maximum and then let it there over night. The time will depend on how thick the ice cream layer is. I mention this so you allow enough time. Assembly and Frosting: When solid, remove ice cream from pan using the foil. Peel off the foil and place on top of the cake layer. If necessary trim off ice cream edges to even it up with the cake. Working quickly, frost the top and sides with whipped topping. Drizzle with Smucker's Chocolate Sauce just enough for decorative purposes. Return to freezer at least 2 hours before serving. Baked by Doris in July 2011.

Back to Recipe List         * Exported from MasterCook * Coconut Cake (Helen) Recipe By : Phyllis Richman Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 14-07 Jul 2011 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup whole milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 eggs 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Topping 6 tablespoons butter -- (3/4 stick) 1 cup shredded coconut -- (preferable to flaked) * see note -- (4 ounce can) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. In a small saucepan or microwave oven, heat milk and butter to scalding. Set aside. Thoroughly combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Beat eggs in an electric mixer Add sugar and continue beating until thick and foamy. With mixer turned on, gradually add hot milk, then vanilla. Beat in flour with mixer at slow speed. Pour butter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 F. for about 30 minutes, testing after 25 minutes with a toothpick. Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan on wire rack. Prepare the topping. Melt butter in a medium saucepan or in a microwave oven. Stir in brown sugar, then add coconut and vanilla. Spread topping over he cake as evenly as possible, making sure to read to the corners. Turn oven to broil and place cake 4-6 inches below the heat. Broil until bubbling and dark brown, turning if necessary to assure oven browning. The topping should be beyond golden, a definite brown but be careful because it can burn in an instant. Let cake cook to room temperature. Cut into squares at serving time.. Serves 12. *Note: Shredded coconut (sometimes called Southern style) gives the cake a crunchier texture, but flaked coconut can be used if necessary. Look for canned coconut, which is more moist than coconut packaged in a bag; it's fine if it comes sweetened.

Back to Recipe List           * Exported from MasterCook * Creamy Gazpacho Andaluz Recipe By : Cook's Illustrated Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 14-07 Jul 2011 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 pounds (about 6 medium) ripe tomatoes, cored 1 small cucumber, peeled, halved, and seeded 1 medium green bell pepper, halved, cored and seeded 1 small red onion, peeled and halved 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and quartered 1 small Serrano chile, stemmed and halved lengthwise Kosher salt 1 slice high-quality white sandwich bread, crust removed, torn into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, plus extra for serving (see note) 2 tablespoons finely minced parsley, chives, or basil leaves Ground black pepper Introduction: The key to fresh tomato flavor in our creamy gazpacho Andaluz recipe was salting the tomatoes and letting them sit to release more flavor. We then followed the same process with the other vegetables — cucumber, bell pepper and onion — and soaked the bread, which we used to thicken the soup, in the exuded vegetable juices. A final dash of olive oil and sherry vinegar further brightened the flavor of our gazpacho and a diced-vegetable garnish made our creamy gazpacho recipe look as fresh as it tasted. For ideal flavor, allow the gazpacho to sit in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Red wine vinegar can be substituted for the sherry vinegar. Although we prefer to use kosher salt in this soup, half the amount of table salt can be used. Serve the soup with additional extra-virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar, ground black pepper, and diced vegetables for diners to season and garnish their own bowls as desired. Directions: 1. Roughly chop 2 pounds of tomatoes, half of cucumber, half of bell pepper and half of onion, place in large bowl. Add garlic, chile and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; toss until well combined. Set aside. 2. Cut remaining tomatoes, cucumber and pepper into 1/4-inch dice; place vegetables in medium bowl. Mince remaining onion and add to diced vegetables. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt and transfer to fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl. Set aside 1 hour. 3. Transfer drained diced vegetables to medium bowl and set aside. Add bread pieces to exuded liquid (there should be about 1/4 cup) and soak 1 minute. Add soaked bread and any remaining liquid to roughly chopped vegetables and toss thoroughly to combine. 4. Transfer half of vegetable-bread mixture to blender and process 30 seconds. With blender running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup oil and continue to blend until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain soup through fine-mesh strainer into large bowl, using back of ladle or rubber spatula to press soup through strainer. Repeat with remaining vegetable-bread mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil. 5. Stir vinegar, minced herb and half of diced vegetables into soup, season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours to chill completely and develop flavors. Serve, passing remaining diced vegetables, olive oil, sherry vinegar and black pepper separately. Techniques: Achieving the Best Creamy Consistency: The trick to smooth, fully blended texture is all in how you add the olive oil. Slowly drizzling in the oil helps the mixture emulsify, for a soup that is silky and rich—but not the least bit greasy.
