Strawberries and Cream Grandma's Poundcake

Sunday, May 15, 2016
I love to make this one for my own birthday every year. Nothing else compares. The cake is buttery heavy and rich and goes perfectly with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Simple, elegant and you just can't go wrong with a cake that grandma made.



You will need:
Heavy cream whipped and sweetened with sugar
1 quart cleaned and washed and hulled strawberries sliced
1 pound cake recipe below or store bought
strawberry ice cream topping or warm strawberry jam

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

For the cake:
1 1/2 pounds of butter at room temperature
3 cups sugar cream for 4 minutes with a heavy duty electric mixer on medium high.  Beat until light, it may be longer than 4 minutes depending on your mixer. Should be a lemony light color.

Add:
9 whole large eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon milk
4 teaspoons vanilla pure

Bake in greased buttered and floured loaf pans at 350 for 1 hour or until the tooth pick comes out clean in the center of the loaf pans. Completely cool.

Whip chilled heavy cream and sweeten with sugar (around 4 tablespoons) to taste. Slice the cooled pound cake in half. Layer with fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry ice cream topping or warmed strawberry jam.  Top first layer with whipped cream. Add the top layer or pound cake. Spread with whipped cream. Add more strawberries and drizzle with more strawberry topping. Chill or serve. You can make three loaves with this recipe. I freeze the other two for future use.

Berry Filling Recipe

Friday, May 13, 2016
I just got some wonderful fresh berries from my Blackberry and Raspberry bushes. I decided to make some berry filling that could be used in pies, topping for ice cream, added to pound cakes with whipped cream or even a filling for a turnover with puff pastry. This was a great filling I will make time and time again!



 Berry Filling Recipe :


(note I had lots of berries cut the recipe in half for less)

1 cup sugar or more if you like sweeter by taste

4 cups raspberries

3 cups blackberries (you can use blueberries also if you want triple berries I would do 3 cups red 2 cups black and 1 cup blue )

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca

1/4 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter

water if needed

Puree 1 cup berries combined or just the raspberries set aside.


In a medium saucepan add the puree, cornstarch, and tapioca. Place on medium heat. When it starts to boil add the sugar until dissolved and start to thicken it's just a few minutes. Add the salt, cinnamon, and butter. Fold in the berries gently. If too thick add a little water.


Use on cakes, cheesecake topping, two crusted pies on ice cream, tarts, cookies, turnovers or anything else you like.

Apple Fried Donut Holes

Tuesday, May 10, 2016
In Central N.Y. we have State Fairs during the fall apple season, and you can rest assured you will find these Apple Fried Donut Holes there along with, Fresh Apple Cider(regular and spiked), apple cider donuts, and that competition going on for the Best Apple Pies!

These little fried apple munchkin gems will grab you by the aroma through the whole event and these are freshly made either glazed, rolled in cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar and come in a paper bag with around 6 to 8 donut holes and are totally addicting.


The fair wouldn't be complete without these little apple fritter bites they are over the top melt in your mouth delicious bursting with apples!


Often these are larger apple fritters fried but these little style fritters are the perfect size when you're taste-testing so many other wonderful apple delights at the State Fair.


There's no rolling or cutting, and by just dropping this batter into hot oil these little apple bundles are done in minutes!


I know you're thinking these aren't the healthiest way to have a donut but to get that true State Fair experience it's worth that once-a-year plunge to fry them.


Since you've insisted on the healthier version, I will leave a baked or Air Fryer method as an alternative to make these little Apple Fried Donut Holes with that method below.
