arrow right sam arnold's fort restaurant chocolate chile cake

Sam Arnold's Fort Restaurant Chocolate Chile CakePosted by Cookin'Mom at recipegoldmine.com 8/15/2001 8:37 pmSource: Sam Arnold's Fort Restaurant in ColoradoIn the early 1500s, Montezuma in his Mexico City palace drank chocolate daily, usually with red chile in it.  Apparently the king knew that chile, in small amounts, amplifies and enriches the taste of chocolate. So does Jane Butel, the noted cookbook author and specialist in Mexican cookery, who generously provided the recipe from which this cake was adapted. At The Fort, it's a centerpiece of a birthday and anniversary ritual from which good-natured celebrants emerge with a photo of themselves in a horned buffalo or coyote hat.Note: Splendid Table host Lynne Rossetto Kasper recommends that if you like very hot food, use the 2 tablespoons recommended in this recipe. If your palate is less accustomed to hot food, try using a dried ancho chile for a sweeter flavor. Seed and crush an ancho chile in a blender and use 2-3 teaspoons of the ground chile in your chocolate chile cake.Serves 12Chocolate Chile Cake1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising)2 cups granulated sugar1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup unsweetened, non-alkalized cocoa powder2 cups water2 tablespoons New Mexico medium ground red chile (Dixon is best)1 tablespoon vanilla extract1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened1/2 cup buttermilk2 large eggs at room temperatureChocolate Frosting3/4 cup unsalted butter3/4 cup unsweetened non-alkalized cocoa powder1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk1 1/2 pounds confectioners' sugar1 1/2 tablespoons bourbon3 tablespoons vanilla extract1 1/2 cups chopped walnutsFor the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with circles of parchment or waxed paper. Lightly dust the sides of the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.For best results, use a mixer with a wire whip attachment. Combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa and beat on low speed until well mixed.In a medium saucepan, cook 1 cup of the water with the chili powder over medium heat until simmering. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and beat thoroughly on medium-low speed. The mixture should be grainy. Raise the speed to medium and gradually add the remaining cup of water and the buttermilk. Add the eggs on at a time, beating well after each addition.Slowly add the hot water/chile mixture and continue to beat just until well combined--be sure not to over-beat. Pour the mixture into the pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cake comes out clean.To cool, set the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then turn the cakes out onto the rack, remove the paper from the bottom, and immediately reinvert so that the risen tops don't flatten. Let sit until completely cool before frosting.For the frosting, combine the butter and cocoa in a large saucepan and melt over medium heat. Stir in the buttermilk. Add the confectioners' sugar a little at a time, stirring with a wired whisk between additions. Stir in the bourbon and vanilla. The frosting should stiffen as it cools. When it has reached a spreadable consistency, assemble the cake.If necessary, trim the tops of the cakes so they are level. Place one of the cake layers onto a 9-inch round cardboard cake circle. Spread 1 cup of the chilled frosting over the cake layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the chopped walnuts over the frosting. Place the second layer of the cake onto the frosted base. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. Finish the top of the cake by holding the spatula at a slight angle and making several strokes to smooth the top. To decorate the cake, press the remaining walnuts against the lower half of the side of the cake and on top of the cake.

arrow right cookie monster's sugar cookies

Cookie Monster's Sugar CookiesPosted by GourmetGal at recipegoldmine.comI got this one from a nursery school teacher friend many years ago. It was what she made for her "kids" for rewards! Rightly so! I had posted it at old TSR for someone looking for a soft sugar  cookie that they could ship. This is what I posted.These can be soft OR crisp. The key is to take them out AS SOON AS they start to puff up. For me it is about 8 minutes. You should do one cookie sheet first to test your oven for time. I have been making these for about 20 years and always mailed them to my kids in college cut out in appropriate shapes and decorated for major holidays - Valentine's Day as well as Easter, Halloween and Christmas. I wrapped two cookies at a time in Saran Wrap - backs touching each other so you don't mess up the icing. I packed them in the box with PLASTIC BAGS (from the grocery store!) on the bottom, between layers and tucked in all the corners. Most of the time they would make it without too many broken ones. In my sons' cases, they really didn't care if they were broken or not (Cookie Monster always said "Me LOVES Cookies!" and broke them on the way to his mouth anyway!)3/4 cup butter1 cup granulated sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon saltCream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla extract and blend. Add remaining ingredients and blend. Chill at least one hour.Roll dough onto flour surfaced and cut out into shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8 - 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

P.F. Chang's China Bistro Temple LongbeansPosted by GayleL at recipegoldmine.com May 25, 2001Source: kvvu.comThis simple stir-fry of Chinese long beans in a vegetarian oyster sauce is true to the spirit of Chinese Buddhist cuisine, hence the name, "Temple Long  beans."Pressed five-spice tofu, vacuum-packed and with the consistency of a firm cheese, is sold in the refrigerator cases of many Asian groceries. If you cannot find it or the fragrant Chinese yellow chives, simply double the amount of long beans. String beans can also be substituted for the long beans.4 cups (6 to 8 ounces) Chinese long beans, cut into 3-inch lengths4 ounces five-spice pressed tofu, cut into thin slices1/2 cup finely julienned carrot1 cup Chinese yellow chives, cut into 3-inch lengthsTemple Sauce1/4 cup vegetarian oyster sauce1/2 teaspoon soy sauce1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar1/2 cup hot water2 teaspoons canola oil2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 1/2 tablespoons cold waterSeveral drops Japanese sesame oil (optional)Separately blanch the long beans and carrots until tender-crisp in plain boiling water. Drain and rush under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again.Combine the Temple Sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust the soy sauce and sugar to your liking. Heat a wok or wide skillet over high heat until hot. Add the canola oil, swirl to glaze the pan. Then add the long beans, carrots and tofu. Stir-fry until hot, about 2 minutes.Stir the sauce and add it to the pan. Bring it to a simmer, tossing to bathe the veggies. Stir the cornstarch mixture to recombine and add it to the pan. Stir until the sauce turns glossy, about 10 seconds. Shower in the chives, stir to blend, then turn off the heat. Add the sesame oil and toss to mix.Serve with steamed rice.Serves 2 to 4 people.
