Thats lovely, Meg. My granddaughter had one at her wedding reception. Everyone loved it.
How unusual..Lovely, jaycee.
Great name!
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; stir into sugar mixture. Fold in chopped nougat bars. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan; sprinkle with chopped milk chocolate bars. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, and cut into squares. Yield: 2 1/2 dozen |
CAKE (Oven 350o - 30 minutes)
- Beat 9 large egg yolks until light & thick. Add 1 1/4 cup sifted granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Beat 9 egg whites until stiff and moist; fold into yolks; add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
- Fold in 3/4 cup sifted regular flour and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder.
- Bake at 350o for 30 minutes in three 9" layer pans. DO NOT GREASE! (I line the bottoms with waxed paper, cut to fit the pans.)
- Cool completely by inverting pans and propping one edge up a little; otherwise they will fall a bit.
FILLING & FROSTING
- Cream 1/4 pound butter with 1 cup sifted powered sugar.
- Add 2 squares melted chocolate that has cooled.
- Beat in 1 egg at a time, beating on high. 3 should be used, but check after 2nd. Frosting will NOT harden or thicken.
- Frost first layer with part of chocolate - THICK
- Whip 2 cartons heavy cream (add sugar & vanilla to taste)
- Frost second layer with cream - THICK
- Frost sides with rest of chocolate, and the top layer with cream.
- Garnish with chocolate leaves*, chocolate sprinkles, or sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon lightly on top. Freezes well.
*The chocolate leaves are my favorite but when I don't take the time to make them, I sprinkle the top with cinnamon instead.
Beautiful, huh! It’s called strawberry plant. It’s a member of the eunymous family. They grow wild here, more in the middle of the state than the coast. The foliage is unremarkable, but the berries are worth the wait. They can be invasive, and critters love them. :)
Have you tried the dark choc chips?!!!
What time are the brownies going to be ready? :)
You know what I liked best? I reduced it from 232,000 bytes to a little over 79,000. I’m new at that you know!
Brownies will be done just in time for dinner (so they'll still be warm for ice cream on top) :)
Re your 2341, jaycee - seeee, I knew gg could tell us what that flower is. I’ve never see one before - boy, it’s certainly a standout! The berries are good to eat, too, gg? Do they taste anything like a strawberry? (I think kiwis taste a lot like strawberries, just sayin) :)
ippity 
kippity! Beautiful, Jaycee! I have never heard of it either.
Isn’t it easy! I have enjoyed Lady J’s site, too as it will take really huge pictures and just reducing dimensioons makes the bytes acceptable.
I just have to take care to delete the huge picture from my file so I won’t use it accidently.( I have done that before)
;o)
Hey, there is always hope, Billie. Right now I’m laughing my head off with your cute little critters. I made something I didn’t know much about very hard and found out it was easier than expected. In fact I got carried away with it.
I would like to have something that cheerleader is taking~~LOL~~she is hyperactive isn’t she?
That is so cute, yorkie. Wish I had some cookies like that with a glass of milk.
I sure was glad to get your information. And they are edible?
Thats amazing. The description I read was brief and didn’t give many details. Its good to have an expert on plants here at Amy’s. Thank you!
Thanks Luv! Hope you’re having a great day!
Are you speaking of the one that shrinks the graphics....I think I have that one but I forgot whose it was!
I was dealing with a large picture today and finally gave up on it. I’ll try that ‘shrink’ site when I come across it again.
