MOCHA SPICE ROLL CAKE 11-01-08 top of page
6 lg Eggs, separated
1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 c Sugar MOCHA CREAM FILLING/FROSTING
3/4 c Cake flour
1 1/2 pt Heavy cream
1/2 ts Salt
3 tb Instant coffee
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 c Superfine sugar + to taste
1/2 ts Allspice
4 1/2 tb Sweetened cocoa
1 ts Ground cloves or - to taste
CAKE ROLL: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Line the pan with wax paper and grease the paper. 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy. 3. Sift the flour with the salt, baking powder, and spices. Add the dry ingredient to the batter. 4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the batter. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the cake over onto a clean linen dish towel that has been dusted with confectioners sugar. Lift off the pan and let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Peel off the wax paper from the cake. Carefully roll the cake with the towel, jelly roll fashion, and let the cake remain in this position on a rack for 20-30 minutes while it cools completely. 6. When the cake is cooled, unroll to fill (IMPORTANT* If the cake is even slightly warm, the whipped cream filling will weep.) Spoon a generous amount of the mocha cream onto the inside of the cake, smoothing it to within 1-inch of all the edges. 7. Roll the cake up to form a log. Place it seam side down on a platter. Spread the remainder of the mocha cream over the roll, frosting it evenly. Run the tines of a fork along the top of the cake roll to create decorative ridges resembling the bark of a tree. Refrigerate the cake roll until serving time. (If you choose to freeze the dessert, wrap it loosely in saran wrap. Defrost 2 hours in the fridge prior to serving.)

ARIZONA LEMON PIE (11-01-08) 11-08-08

Southern Meatloaf 11-08-08
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound fresh ground pork
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup hot water
Directions
Place a medium sized baking pan
into a cool oven and heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the hot water into a large
mixing bowl and add the butter. Stir until completely melted.
Add all remaining ingredients and mix well.
Shape mixture into a loaf and place
in heated baking pan. Cook your meatloaf for approximately 40 minutes
or until an internal temperature of 170 degrees has been reached.
Don't overcook or the meatloaf
will be dry. You may serve this southern meatloaf either hot or cold.
My kids like to use ketchup when eating this, but I prefer sauteed onions
on the top of mine.
This recipe also freezes well, so it can be a good idea to double the recipe and make 2 loaves of meatloaf at once. It will take a bit longer to cook 2 meatloaves, but use an internal meat thermometer to test for doneness. Cool 2nd meatloaf completely before covering in freezer wrap and storing in your freezer for another night. Thaw in your refrigerator and reheat in 350 degree oven. Cover the meatloaf with aluminum foil while reheating to make sure the meatloaf doesn't dry out.
