Cake. Delicious, moist, dense, mouth-watering cake. I am literally having to mentally restrain myself from going and eating one of the remaining three pieces. It is technically named "White Silver Cake" but I think that's gay. So I think I shall rename it "Don't Be So Vanilla" lol. Anyways it is just vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream frosting between the layers and covering it, and walnuts to garnish! Yay! Seriously one of the best (new) cake recipes I've made in awhile. It is so good, and the family loved so its going to be Jodi's wedding cake (sans walnuts).
Next on the docket....
Pizza Pizza!! But not just any pizza, deep-dish Chicago style pizza. We (Allison and I) got the idea from watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay, but I don't know who won. Bobby Flay is from New York, so he is used to thin crust, flat pizza. Deep dish Chicago is nothing like that. A) It's baked in a different pan. We used two 9'' round cake pans and a large shallow-ish stoneware round. 2) It has two types of oil, butter, cornmeal, and no sugar in the dough. You also don't roll it out, you mold/press it into the pan. 3) You assemble it backwards. Well not quite, the crust is still on the bottom, but first the cheese, then the meat/vegetables, then the sauce. We did top it with parm, but it seemed only right. Anyways...it was great. The crust was buttery and crisp, as expected, but it surprised us by stying together even though it was so thick and there was no cheese to hold the sauce in place. Next time (and we will be making it again) the only change will be less sauce, (and in my opinion less cooking time, it was a bit too crunchy for my liking) but it was still really good.
To finish it off....
Kettle Corn. or at least what I call kettle corn (OK..to be honest I don't think I've ever had real kettle corn. DON'T JUDGE ME!). It's the popcorn of choice in our house, and I've only started making it recently. I was sick of greasy, salty, I-need-something-to-drink popcorn, so I found this. It's crispy, slightly sweet, a little bit salty-but not too much. It's the perfect late night snack. great with a side of Craig Ferguson. Bon Apetite mon amis!!
