My Activity

Reviewed Mushroom Cream Sauce

"Quite yummy. I added a teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken and started cooking the leeks before adding the cream. Added about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan too.
I also swirled in some sliced prosciutto for a little extra something - served with the mushroom ravioli from Trader Joes.
I have a bit extra and am excited to try on something else. Quite a""

Reviewed Jamie's Coconut Cake

"really, really nice. I had previously made Alton Brown's coconut cake with all of the homemade steps (using fresh coconut, making the coconut milk, etc to rave reviews, and this time was ok with skipping and going for store bought. This came out delicious!

For those who had problems with dryness, a couple things to consider - 1 make sure it is self-rising flour as otherwise there is no baking soda or salt in the cake itself which would lead to a overly dense and non-fluffy result. 2 Make sure you let the layers cool completely before adding the filling.

As for the runny frosting, if you follow the directions exactly step-by step, you will end up with a very fluffy and marshmallow-fluff like texture and consistency. Make sure you beat the ingredients together off of the heat first for a full minute, then put over the boiling water. Keep a timer handy and keep the beaters submerged and on the highest speed.

Good luck and thanks Paula, it's a keeper! "
