Subject: Snickers Cake
This makes a wonderful birthday cake!

SNICKERS CAKE

Cake
10 ounces semisweet chocolate -- finely chopped
1 1/4 cups butter -- room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
8 large eggs -- separated, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups roasted unsalted peanuts -- coarsely chopped
1 cup cake flour
Pinch cream of tartar
Buttercream
5 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups water
10 ounces semisweet chocolate -- finely chopped
2 1/4 cups unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces -- at room
temperature
10 1 ounce Snickers bars -- chopped into small pieces

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease three 8-inch-diameter cake
pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Line bottoms with waxed paper. Melt
chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. Stir until
smooth. Remove from over water and cool to barely lukewarm. Using
electric mixer, cream butter in large bowl until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 1 1/4 cups sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in egg
yolks 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla. Stir in chocolate, then peanuts.
Sift flour over batter and gently fold in. (Batter will be very
thick.) Using clean dry beaters, beat whites with cream
of tartar in another large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually add
remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/2
of whites into batter to lighten. Gently fold in remaining whites.
Divide batter among prepared pans.

Bake until tester inserted in centers comes out clean and tops are
crusty, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on racks 10 minutes. Run
small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen, if necessary. Turn
out onto racks. Peel off paper. Cool to room temperature. (Cakes
can be prepared 2 days ahead. Wrap tightly and refrigerate.)

Make buttercream: Using electric mixer, beat yolks in bowl until pale
yellow and slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, 5
minutes. Meanwhile, stir sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan over
low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without
stirring until candy thermometer set in syrup registers 234°F. to
240°F. (soft-ball stage). Beat hot syrup into egg yolks in slow steady
stream. Continue beating until thick and cool, about 10 minutes. Melt
chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. Stir until
smooth. Remove from over water and let stand until cool but still
liquid. Gradually beat butter into yolk mixture 1 tablespoon at a
time. Add chocolate and stir to combine. Transfer 2 cups buttercream
to small bowl. Stir in chopped Snickers bars.

To assemble cake: Place one cake layer on platter top side down.
Spread half of Snickers buttercream over. Top with second cake layer.
Spread remaining Snickers buttercream over. Top with third cake
layer. Spoon 1 cup plain buttercream into pastry bag fitted with
medium star tip. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining
buttercream. Can be assembled 2 days ahead.
Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Bring cake to room temperature
before serving.

Buttermilk/Soda Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk (or thick low-fat sour cream)

Directions

Mix and sift dry ingredients. Work in the shortening with a fork and
add liquid quickly. Pat, roll out and cut into biscuits or drop by
spoonfuls on greased pan or in greased muffin pan. Bake in hot oven,
400°F , 10 to 15 minutes.

Injera

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/4 cup whole wheat bread flour
1 pkg dry yeast (about 1 tablespoon)
2-1/2 cups warm water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Combine the flours and yeast in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add the warm
water and mix into a fairly thin, smooth batter. Let the mixture sit
for three full days at room temperature. Stir the mixture once a day.
It will bubble and rise.

When you are ready to make the injera, add the baking soda and salt
and let the batter sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat a small, non-stick 9-inch skillet. When a drop of water bounces
on the pan's surface, take about 1/3 cup of the batter and pour it in
the skillet quickly, all at once. Swirl the pan so that the entire
bottom is evenly coated, then return to the heat.

The injera is cooked on only one side and the bottom should not
brown. When the moisture has evaporated and lots of bubble holes
appear on the surface, remove the injera. Let each injera cool and
then stack them as you go along.

If the first injera is undercooked, try using less of the mixture,
perhaps 1/4 cup, and maybe cook it just a bit longer. Be sure not to
overcook it. Injera should be soft and pliable so that it can be
rolled or folded like a crepe.

Southern Style Candied Sweet Potatoes
Serves 4

These recipes are from my Aunt Tynee's kitchen. She is now deceased,
but left me with wonderful childhood memories of being in the kitchen
with her. Since I don't measure my ingredients, I need a little help
from her favorite cookbook (and mine), "THE NEW SETTLEMENT COOKBOOK".

Ingredients

4 boiled sweet potatoes
1/4 lb. butter
1 tablespoon water
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

Peel boiled potatoes and quarter. Place them in a baking dish, with
butter on top and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add water and lemon
juice. Bake in 350°F oven and serve hot.

------------

Golden Glow Salad

Ingredients

2 cups grated raw carrots
1 cup drained crushed pineapple
1 cup boiling water
1 cup pineapple juice
1 package lemon-flavored gelatin

Directions

Bring water and pineapple juice to a boil and add gelatin. Stir
thoroughly until dissolved. Cool and when it begins to thicken, mix
the carrots and pineapple and pour into a mold. Chill until firm.

Suggestions: Serve with mayonnaise. Surround with watermelon balls
and pitted black cherries.

-------------

Peach Delight
Serves 12

Ingredients

1 (10 oz.) package sugar wafers (crushed)
8 to 10 fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 large eggs (room temperature and separated)
1 pint whipping cream

Directions

Crush wafers and place layer in bottom of large cake pan (save some
to sprinkle on top). Beat egg whites until stiff and set aside. Cream
butter, powdered sugar and egg yolks then gently fold in whipped egg
whites. Spoon this on top of wafer crumbs. Slice fresh peaches on
top. This may take 8-10 depending on size of peaches. Top off with
sweetened whipped cream and remaining wafer crumbs. Refrigerate
overnight before serving.
