Lemoncakebites Recipes

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13x9" baking pan. Whisk baking powder, salt, and 2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Finely grate lemon zest into another medium bowl. Slice lemon in half; set aside. Add 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar to zest and work with your fingers until mixture is fragrant and looks like wet sand, about 1 minute.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 1 cup butter in a large bowl until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add sugar mixture, increase speed to medium-high, and beat until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add eggs one at a time, beating well between additions; mix in egg yolk. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients. Beat just until incorporated, then add brandy and beat just until smooth. Fold batter a few times with a rubber spatula; scrape into prepared pan and smooth top. Scatter fruit over (do not press down). Squeeze a reserved lemon half over fruit (save other half for another use) and sprinkle with remaining 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar.
• Bake cake until sides are golden brown and top is golden, 55-65 minutes. Let cool; cut into squares. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
• Do Ahead
• Cake can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 9 x 12-inch baking sheet with 1-inch high sides with nonstick spray; line with parchment paper and spray again.
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, blend egg yolks, oil, water, lemon extract, and zest. Gradually whisk flour mixture into yolk-oil mixture until smooth.
• Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until frothy. Gradually add 1/8 cup sugar to the whties and continue beating until they-re shiny and hold firm peaks as beaters are lifted out. Whisk 1/3 of the beaten whites into the batter to lighten it; gently fold in the remaining whites with a whisk.
• Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Tilt the pan to evenly spread the batter (don't use a spatula--it can deflate the whites), then bake the cake 12-13 minutes, or until just set. Cool to room temperature, remove from pan, peel off paper, and cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds. (Don't cut rounds too big, or assembled cakes will be floppy when picked up).
• Whip cream and lemon curd together for the lemon cream, beating to soft peaks. Dollop 1 tablespoon cream on each cake round.
• Top cakes with berries, dust with powdered sugar, then garnish with mint. Serve or chill up to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Take Graham crackers and roughly crush them, pour in melted butter and toss until coated.
• Place on Baking sheet and bake at 375 for 6 minutes, remove from oven and let cool.
• Whip Cream Cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, Lemon zest, and lemon juice until well creamed.
• Whip heavy cream with 2 tbs of sugar until it forms peaks.
• Fold the whipped cream in with the cream cheese mixture.
• Add in the graham cracker crumbs and mix well.
• spoon into mini muffin tins and freeze for a minimum of 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Grease 18 holes of two 12 hole patty pans (round based pans).
• Place each biscuit over the 18 holes of prepared pans.
• Cook in a moderate oven, 180C, for about 5 minutes or until soft to touch.
• Using the back of a teaspoon, gently press biscuits back into pan holes. Cool in pans.
• Beat cream cheese, icing sugar and juice in a small bowl with electric mixer until smooth.
• Divide lemon butter between biscuits.
• Top with cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line mini-muffin tins with 48 paper liners; set aside.
• Toast pecans in a medium-heat iron skillet, on the stove top, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in eggs, oil and vanilla just until dry ingredients are moistened; do not beat. Fold in the pineapple (and juice), pecans and banana.
• Gently spoon batter into the cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Do not overfill. You will have just enough batter for all 48 cups.
• Bake 20 minutes; if using two pans at once, rotating the top and lower pans at the 10-minute mark for even baking. (If you have a convection oven, this is not necessary.) Bake in two batches if you have only one pan!
• Cake bites are done when they are dark golden brown and gently crowned on top. Remove from oven and cool at least 20 minutes before frosting.
• Swirl a small amount of icing over each cake bite in a decorative fashion. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. (Wooden picks can be inserted in a few of the bites to keep plastic wrap from smearing the tops.).
• Makes 48 cake bites.
• Cream Cheese Frosting Directions:.
• In a small mixer bowl combine 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ~ beat with mixer until smooth.

• Add the chicken and close bag. Shake vigorously to coat all pieces.
• Arrange coated pieces on a baking sheet.
• Bake 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, combine together sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir constantly as it comes to a boil; as soon as it boils, remove from heat or reduce to low if serving warm.
• After chicken pieces are baked, use a spatula to put batches in the saucepan and coat with sauce. Move coated pieces to your serving platter.
• Sprinkle chives over the top for garnish (if desired) and serve with frilly toothpicks.
