Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

I like this alternative to pineapple upside down cake, which I find way too sweet.

 

TOPPING:

 

2 Cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/2" slices

1/4 Cup sugar

1/3 Cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 Tsp grated lemon peel

2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp bourbon or orange juice

1/2 Cup pecan halves

2 Tbsp butter or margarine

 

BATTER (I prefer/recommend taking the easy route and using a packaged white or yellow cake mix instead):

 

2 Cups all-purpose flour

3/4 Cup sugar

2 Tsp baking powder

1 Tsp vanilla

1/4 Tsp salt

1/2 Cup butter or margarine

1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream

2 large eggs

 

Optional:  Sweetened whipped cream

 

For topping, in a bowl combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon peel and 1 tbsp lemon juice. 

In a 10" skillet over medium heat, melt butter/margarine, add brown sugar, bourbon and remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice; stir often until caramel has thickened and is medium brown, 7 to 10 minutes.  Spread in a buttered 9" round cake pan with 2" tall sides.  Arrange pecans over caramel, scatter rhubarb mixture on top.

 

For batter, in a bowl with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until blended.  Beat in eggs until smooth.  Beat in baking powder, vanilla, salt, half the creme fraiche, then half the flour; repeat with remaining creme fraiche and flour.

Drop spoonfuls of batter over rhubarb mixture and spread smooth.

Bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes or until cake is golden on top and tests done.  Let cool on rack 15 minutes.  Run a knife between cake and pan sides.  Invert onto serving plate.

Serve warm, topped with whipped cream if desired.

Texas Chili

This is a very simple but very good and authentic Texas style recipe.

 

 

2 lbs ground sirloin (or sub 1 lb Italian sausage). You can use ground venison or wild hog too; diced, cubed, or whatever you wish.

2 medium onions, chopped

1 red bell pepper chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

2 (or more) whole jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1 - 15 oz can tomato sauce

1 - 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

chili powder to taste (I probably use 1/2 cup or more, I never measure so I'm not sure though)

cumin to taste (I use at least 2 tbsp, maybe more)

6 oz. beer

 

 

Brown the meat in a skillet. In a large pan, saute veggies in bacon grease. Add beer and cook 1 minute. Add browned meat and tomatoes, cook 2 minutes. Add seasonings to taste, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. If it needs to be thickened, use a little Masa. If it is not spicy enough, use cayenne pepper. Serve BBQ beans on the side.

NY Dry Crustless Cheesecake ...

 
I hope to try this at next opportunity.  What is the method to "oil" a springform pan?

 

[ea56]

Louie

the Crustless New York Cheescake recipe looks really good. But I've never seen Farmers Cheese in a store here. Isn't it very much like reg, cream cheese, only a bit dryer? If so, do you think substituting reg. cream cheese in place of the Farmers Cheese would work? If not, is there another cheese like Farmers Cheese?

This recipe looks like something I will be trying, thanks.

I think dry cottage cheese would be a good substitute for farmers cheese.  Cottage cheese is mild tasting. Good luck with the recipe!

Glenn, I suppose it means just that, spread oil, corn, vegetable, etc inside the pan. I'd just try cooking spray.

Farmer's Cheese

Is really hard to find anymore.  We used it for many many years in pierogi fillings, but now I drain cottage cheese overnight and use it instead.  I'd love to find some farmers cheese again, but I wonder if it still exists...

 

[ea56]

So Matt, do you put the cottage cheese in a sieve lined with cheese cloth and let it drain overnight? I guess if I used a pint of cottage cheese, drained it should equal approx. the 15 oz.of Farmers Cheese required for this recipe. What do you think?

Perhaps you can find Farmers Cheese in one of those weekend farmers markets that spring up in urban areas.

Well, wouldn't you know...

Matt, I believe I've seen it at Meijer in the cheese/deli (not the refrigerated cases along the walls. I seem to recall it was in a vaguely kidney-shaped Cry-o-Vac package. Failing that, you might try a Kroger with the Murray's cheese department (Grand Blanc?)
