German Chocolate Sheet Cake (from the 1950’s)

by Rebecca June 24, 2020
written by Rebecca

Straight from the 1950s. This German Chocolate Sheet Cake is super moist with rich coconut pecan frosting that is mind-blowing delicious!

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg baker’s german sweet chocolate (4 ounces)

1/2 cup water

2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted, then measured

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups of sugar

4 large egg yolks, room temperature (reserve whites)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

4 large egg whites, beaten to form stiff peaks

COCONUT PECAN FILLING AND FROSTING

1 can(s) evaporated milk 12-ounce size (not sweetened condensed)

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup melted butter (1 1/2 sticks)

4 large egg yolks, slightly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

7 oz baker’s angel flake coconut

1 1/2 cups broken pecans

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Ready the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees. Then, grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch or 10 x 16-inch baking pan. If you want a thinner cake you can use a larger pan. You can even use three 9-inch pans, just frost the layers in between.

Step 2: Sift 2 cups of flour. After you sift the flour, measure it again for accuracy. And add in the baking soda and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 3: Melt the chocolates in the microwave for a minute and 30 seconds depending on the microwave you are using. Once melted, remove from the microwave and stir thoroughly.

Step 4: Separate the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form.

Step 5: Beat the butter with a hand mixer until just combined. Add in the yolks one at a time, make sure to beat after each addition.

Step 6: Gradually add in the melted chocolates into the butter mixture. Mix and scrape with a spatula on the sides of the bowl. Stir in the vanilla and again mix until incorporated.

Step 7: At this point, you don’t have to use a hand mixer. So, add in the flour mixture alternating with the buttermilk, making sure to begin and end with the flour mixture. Once the mixtures are mixed, use the hand mixer for 10 to 20 seconds just to make sure the batter is well incorporated.

Step 8: Then, fold in the egg whites.

Step 9: pour the mixture into the greased pan and place it inside the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or once the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 10: To make the frosting, first melt the butter in a heavy pan. Stir in the milk, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly for about 12 minutes or until thickened. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the coconut and pecans.

Step 11: Pour the frosting over the cooled cake.

Note: In case you decided to make three 9-inch layers, make sure to cool the frosting for a bit to thicken.

by Rebecca June 24, 2020
written by Rebecca

This pan-fried noodles and cabbage that are drench in butter is love. The caramelized cabbage, onion tossed in egg noodles and bathed in rich butter is the ultimate comfort food.

I just recently found out about this Polish Cabbage, Onions, and Noodles or popularly called Haluski. From the name of this recipe, it is obvious that it is a Polish original. The name commonly pronounces as either ha-loosh-key or ha-loosh-ken. Cabbage, onions, and noodles are the main ingredients used that are bathed in deep and creamy butter. You can add kielbasa or bacon bits but this is optional if you want to add some meat to your Haluski. Putting meat helps with extra flavor but this dish is great enough as is. My first impression when I tasted this dish was it’s incredibly delicious! You know what they say, you can never have enough butter. This dish is as simple as it looks, pretty easy to make, and the ingredients are almost readily available. This Polish Cabbage, Onions, and Noodles is a must-try, worth the spot for your next dinner menu, and definitely  5-star!

INGREDIENTS

½ head green cabbage, chopped into 1-inch pieces

1 stick unsalted butter

1 small yellow onion, diced

8 ounces wide egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Optional: chopped parsley as garnish

How to make Haluski: Polish Cabbage, Onions, And Noodles

Step 1: Melt 1 stick of butter in a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.

Step 2: Stir in the carnage, onions, and 2 tablespoons of Kosher salt.

Step 3: Saute and cook for 15 to 20 minutes while frequently stirring until the cabbage is soft and the onions are translucent.

Step 4: Then, add in the cooked noodles into the pot and toss to combine.

Step 5: Sprinkle with some black pepper and season with more Kosher salt to taste.

by Rebecca June 23, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Cajun Shrimp Scampi is pretty darn delicious! Its smoky, spicy seasoning is a classic Cajun flavor. By far one of my favorite Cajun recipes. It’s a must-try and I promise this dish worth everything! It is super satisfying, it makes my mouth water. You can try this with chicken, too and it’s equally tasty. Having this on your dinner table feels like dining in at one of the expensive restaurants downtown. I will always give this a 5-star. Try it and see for yourself!

Step 5: Saute the garlic for about 2 minutes more.

Step 6: Place the shrimp into the pan and season with the Cajun seasoning. You can put as much depends on how you like it.
