Honeyorange And Pine Nut Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Make the pasta frolla: Whisk cream, egg, yolk, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a food processor to mix. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, add cream mixture, and process until dough just comes together. Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate 1 disk until firm, about 1 hour; reserve remaining disk for another use. (Dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before using.)
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. (If dough is soft and sticky, transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until firm but pliable, about 5 minutes.) Cut out a 12-inch round, and fit it into a fluted 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (Patch any tears with scraps of dough.) Freeze while making the filling (or cover and freeze for up to 3 days).
• Make the filling: Bring sugar, honeys, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking until sugar dissolves. Add butter, and whisk until incorporated. Transfer honey mixture to a medium bowl, and let cool for 30 minutes. Whisk in cream, egg, and yolk until incorporated.
• Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter pine nuts over bottom. Slowly pour filling over pine nuts, redistributing pine nuts evenly with your fingers. Bake until crust is golden brown and center is set but still slightly wobbly, about 1 hour. Transfer tart to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Remove from pan, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
• Put pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you make the icing, about 20 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese and butter for icing together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, pecans, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Spread over warm cake. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
• Grease a 8 inch round cake tin or spring form, if using cake tin it helps to line it with baking paper as well.
• In a small sauce pan, melt the sugar, honey and butter together over a medium heat, boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
• Set aside and allow to cool until just warm.
• Place the pine nuts onto a baking tray and roast for approx 8 minutes, alternatively roast in a dry non stick frying pan on top of the hob, stirring regularly.
• Add the pine nuts to the honey mixture.
• Stir in the eggs and flour.
• Pour the batter into the baking tin and bake for approx 50 minutes.
• The cake is done when the top springs back when pressed lightly.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
• When cold dust with confectioners suger and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, eggs, butter, salt and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until a soft dough forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape into balls. On a floured work surface, roll the dough balls into long, 1/2-inch-thick ropes. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces, dust with flour and place onto a floured baking sheet.
• Combine the olive oil and pine nuts in a small saute pan over medium heat and toast until the pine nuts are just golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the pine nuts to a paper-towel-lined plate to get rid of excess oil.
• Heat the canola oil to 375 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, combine the honey, orange zest and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer.
• In batches, fry the struffoli in the hot oil until golden brown and puffed on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss in the orange syrup to coat. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• You can make the pastry by hand or in the food processor. Cream together the butter, sugar, and salt and then rub or pulse in the flour and egg yolks. When the mixture has come together, looking like coarse breadcrumbs, add the milk or water. Gently pat together to form a small ball of dough. Wrap and let rest for an hour.
• Carefully cut thin slices of the pastry (or you can roll out if you prefer) and place in and around the bottom and sides of a 12-inch (30-centimeter) tart pan. Push the pastry together and level out and tidy up the sides. Cover and let to rest in the freezer for about 1 hour.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), and bake the pastry for around 15minutes until lightly golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
• While the pastry is in the oven, toast the pine nuts under the grill.
• Using a spatula, or a food processor, whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Stir in your pine nuts, add the eggs 1 at a time, and then fold in the honey, flour, thyme, orange zest, and salt. Spoon into the tart shell and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Add a few uncooked pine nuts to the top of the mixture for decoration.
• Serve with caramelized figs (grilled with a little sugar), creme fraiche and a little lemon thyme.
• Serving suggestions: carmelized figs and creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 23cm round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
• Sift the flour, ginger and cinnamon together.
• Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the honey and beat again.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture with each.
• Fold in the rest of the flour, the grated pumpkin and pine nuts. Spoon into the cake tin and level the top.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool on a wire rack.
• Mix the icing sugar with 1.5tsp water and drizzle on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon until thoroughly mixed together. In a separate large bowl, stir together the vegetable oil, 1 cup of sugar, and honey, and beat the eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour mixture, alternating with the coffee in several additions. Mix in the shredded apple, if desired.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle the walnuts over the top of the cake. Bake in the preheated oven until the cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool until warm, about 15 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter, and whisk in 2/3 cup of sugar and the orange juice until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, and remove from heat, whisking constantly. Pour the glaze over the warm cake.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
• 2. Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir together until the wet and dry ingredients are thoroughly combined, then stir in the raisins.
• 3. Cut two pieces of baking parchment to fit the bottoms of two loaf pans. Lightly oil the sides. Divide the batter between the two lightly oiled loaf pans. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the tops of the loaves.
• 4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of a loaf tests clean. Take care not to overbake.
• 5. Allow the cakes to cool completely. Use a knife to go around the sides of the loaves to loosen, if needed, and carefully remove the loaves from the pans by tipping them into your hand, then set on a platter. Cut each loaf into 12 slices to serve.
