ITALIAN CREAM CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Daisy Cakes Recipe Makes The Best Birthday Cake Ever
In honor of Marcy Inspired turning 1 year old, I set out to make the Best Birthday Cake Ever, and so I made an Italian Cream Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. The recipe comes from my Daisy Cakes Bakes Cookbook and It turned out amazing! Read on for the full recipe.
Italian Cream Cake
5 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted twice
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. coconut extract
Lightly grease and flour three 9 round cake pans. Preheat oven to 350º.
Separate eggs, placing egg whites In bowl of stand mixer and setting aside yolks. Beat egg whites on high speed until stiff. Then transfer egg whites to a clean, dry bowl and set aside.
In bowl of stand mixer, whisk together the butter, and shortening on high speed. Add sugar and beat until light and fluff. Beat in egg yolks on low speed to combine.
Combine baking soda and buttermilk, stirring until dissolved. Pour buttermilk into the butter mixture and add the flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl. Beat on high speed for 1 minute. Add the coconut, pecans, and both extracts and mix well. Use rubber spatula to fold in the beaten egg whites. Divide batter almond the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Let layers cool before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
2 8oz. packages of cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
2 16oz. boxes of confectioners sugar, sifted
Using stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the cream cheese and both the vanilla and almond extract and beat on high speed until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the confectioners' sugar until blended.
Frosting may be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.

Fried Flounder with Sweet Pepper Mayo
RECIPE COURTESY OF TRISHA YEARWOOD
Level: Intermediate
Total: 35 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Sweet Pepper Mayo:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped multicolored baby bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped cornichon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Hot sauce, as desired
Flounder:
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound skinless flounder fillets
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
1/4 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup club soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the sweet pepper mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, peppers, cornichon, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season with hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate while you make the flounder.
For the flounder: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut the flounder crosswise into pieces about as thick as 2 fingers. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, seafood seasoning and baking powder in a large bowl (no need for salt as the Old Bay has salt in it). Whisk in the club soda to make a smooth batter slightly thinner than pancake batter.
Spread flour for dredging on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge half of the flounder in the flour, then dip in the batter and add to the hot oil. Fry until golden and very crisp, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Return the oil to 375 degrees F and immediately dredge, batter and fry the second batch. Serve right away with the sweet pepper mayo.

Peanut Brittle
Recipe courtesy of Trisha Yearwood
Total: 1 hr
Active: 5 min
Yield: 3 pounds
Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
3 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 cups shelled raw peanuts
Directions
Measure the vanilla into a small bowl and set aside. Combine the baking soda and salt in another small bowl and set aside. Butter 1 cookie sheet with sides or jelly roll pan liberally with 1/2 stick of the butter. Set aside.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, attach a candy thermometer and cook over medium-high heat until the syrup spins a thread when poured from a spoon or reaches 240 degrees F on the thermometer. Stir in the peanuts and continue cooking and stirring until the candy becomes golden brown or reaches 300 degrees F.
Remove from the heat immediately and quickly add the remaining 1 stick butter and the vanilla, baking soda and salt. Stir only until the butter melts, and then quickly pour the brittle onto the cookie sheet, spreading the mixture thinly. When the brittle has completely cooled, break the candy into pieces and store in a tightly covered container.

No-Bake Ricotta Espresso Cheesecake
RECIPE COURTESY OF TRISHA YEARWOOD
Level: Easy
Total: 3 hr 30 min (includes freezing, cooling and chilling times)
Active: 30 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
Crust:
1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs (from about 12 full graham cracker sheets)
2 tablespoons sugar
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon espresso powder
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 pound good-quality fresh ricotta
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
One 21-ounce jar Amarena cherries in syrup
1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
For the crust: Combine the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor and pulse to process. Drizzle in 5 tablespoons of the butter and pulse to combine. The mixture should clump together slightly when pressed in your fingers. If not, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss again. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Freeze to firm the crust, about 15 minutes.
For the filling: Pour the cream into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over. Let sit to bloom the gelatin, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and add the sugar and espresso powder. Warm over very low heat, whisking constantly just to dissolve the gelatin; do not let the mixture simmer or boil. Remove from the heat, whisk until completely smooth and let cool, about 5 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ricotta and beat just until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure even mixing. Add the cooled cream mixture and vanilla and beat again until just smooth. Scrape the mixture into the crust and smooth the top. Cover the cheesecake and chill until set, at least 3 hours.
For the topping: Add the cherries and syrup to a small saucepan and warm over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Serve slices of the cheesecake topped with the warm cherry syrup.
