Peanut Butter Silk Cake


1   box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1 1/4   cups water
1/2   cup creamy peanut butter
1/3   cup vegetable oil
3   eggs
1/4   cup butter or margarine
1/4   cup packed brown sugar
1   cup whipping cream
1/2   cup creamy peanut butter
1   container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
1   cup chopped peanuts, if desired
            
      
1.   Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously grease bottoms only of 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray.
2.   In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, 1/2 cup peanut butter, the oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
3.   Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
4.   In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
5.   In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside. In another medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and the brown sugar mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add whipped cream to peanut butter mixture; beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and creamy.
6.   Split each cake layer horizontally to make 2 layers. Fill each layer with about 2/3 cup peanut butter mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Frost side and top of cake with frosting. Press peanuts onto frosting on side of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.

~High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Heat oven to 375°F. Use 9-inch pans. Stir 1 tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour into dry cake mix. Decrease oil to 2 tablespoons. Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
~Make the Most of This Recipe
To cut cake layers in half horizontally, insert 6 toothpicks around the side of each layer, halfway down the side. Using the toothpicks as a guide, slice layer in half with a long knife.
~Special Touch
For a fun garnish, top this cake with coarsely cut-up chocolate-covered peanut butter cups. Or dot the top with mini cups that have been cut in half crosswise.

Coffee-Hazelnut Biscotti


Biscotti—long, crunchy, twice-baked cookies—are easy to make, good keepers, happy travelers, and quintessential dunkers. These, which are studded with hazelnuts and made with cornmeal, are supercrunchy, so they’ll soften to perfection when they’re dipped in liquid. Because they contain a bit of espresso (which really brings out the flavor of the hazelnuts), they’re great dunked in coffee.


(Makes about 32 cookies; recipe can be doubled)


5 teaspoons instant espresso powder, divided
1 tablespoon boiling water
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 cup finely chopped hazelnuts, toasted
1. Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick aluminum foil, or a silicone baking mat.
2. Dissolve 3 teaspoons of the instant espresso powder in the boiling water and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 teaspoons espresso powder, the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornmeal.
3. Working with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar at medium speed until they are very smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and keep beating until the mixture is smooth again, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the espresso liquid and the almond extract. Add the dry ingredients and mix until they are incorporated into the dough, which will be soft and sticky and might ball up around the beater. Add the hazelnuts and mix just to stir them in.
4. Using a rubber spatula, scoop out half the dough and place it on the lined baking sheet just a few inches from one of the sheet’s long sides. Working with your hands, spread out the dough into a log that’s about 12 to 14 inches long. Shape another log on the other side of the baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the logs are lightly browned but still soft to the touch. Leave the logs on the baking sheet and let them rest for 30 minutes.
6. Gently transfer the logs to a cutting board and, using a long serrated knife, trim the ends, then cut the logs into slices about 3/4 inch thick. Put the slices back on the baking sheet, standing them up on their bases, and slide the sheet into the oven.
7. Bake the cookies for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are browned and firm. Put the baking sheet on a cooling rack and let the cookies come to room temperature.



TIP: The cookies will keep for a week or so at room temperature—you don’t have to cover them unless you want to; they can be wrapped airtight and frozen for up to 2 months.

**Can be wrapped in ziplock bags, then put in coffee mug for gift giving.

Caramel-Pecan Chocolate Dessert

1 package (1 lb 3.8 oz)  fudge brownie mix
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
20 caramels (from 14-oz bag), unwrapped
1 egg, beaten
1 cup broken pecans
3/4 cup whipping (heavy) cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 350°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 325°). Grease bottom and side of 10-inch springform pan with shortening. In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, water, oil and 2 eggs until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread in pan.
2. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until puffed in center and toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup whipping cream and the caramels over medium heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted. Stir small amount of the hot mixture into beaten egg, then stir egg back into mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in pecans. Spread over brownie. Refrigerate uncovered at least 3 hours until chilled.
4. Run metal spatula around side of pan to loosen dessert; remove side of pan. Transfer dessert on pan base to serving plate. In chilled small bowl, beat 3/4 cup whipping cream and the powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon whipped cream in 12 dollops around edge of dessert. Cut into wedges to serve. Store covered in refrigerator.


High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Stir 3 tablespoons Gold Medal® all-purpose flour into dry brownie mix. Use 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup oil and 2 eggs. Bake 45 to 55 minutes.


Mark the top of the dessert with a knife before adding the whipped cream garnish. That way, you’ll know the whipped cream will be centered on each serving.

Whipped cream from a spray can works great for this recipe--and saves the time of whipping the cream.
 
Make the dessert up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Up to 2 hours before serving, beat the cream with the powdered sugar as directed
