Ingredients
  1. For the Ganache Frosting:
  2. 1 cup heavy cream
  3. 8 ounces chopped semisweet (or bittersweet) chocolate
  4. For the Banana Cake:
  5. 3/4 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
  6. 1 1/4 cups sugar
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  8. 3 large eggs
  9. 2 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose)
  10. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  11. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  12. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  13. 1 cup bananas (pureed very ripe, approximately 3 small bananas)
  14. 3/4 cup buttermilk
  15. Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts
  16. Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Make the Ganache:
  2. Gather the ingredients.
  3. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
  4. Remove from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Allow ganache to cool completely. Chill in the fridge until it is cold, preferably overnight.
  5. Make the Banana Cake:
  6. Gather the ingredients.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and eggs.
  9. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Do not skip this step! The sifting is what ensures your banana cake will be light and fluffy.
  10. Add the flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing until just blended.
  11. Add the pureed bananas and buttermilk to the batter. Mix just until blended. Fold walnuts and chocolate chips, if using, into the banana cake batter.
  12. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake 25 to 35 minutes until a knife inserted 2 inches from the edge of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  13. While the cake is cooling, beat the ganache with an electric mixer until fluffy enough to spread over banana cake.
  14. Frost cooled banana cake with chocolate ganache frosting or cream cheese frosting.
  15. Enjoy!

Creamy Pralines With Toasted Pecans

FrenchOvo Vegetarian2100 min

Toasted pecans give these cream pralines a distinct pecan flavor. Make these pralines to give as gifts, for holiday parties, or take them to the office.

View ingredients & steps
Ingredients
  1. 3 cups pecans (chopped)
  2. 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
  3. 1 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  5. 1/3 cup whole milk
  6. 6 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
  7. 3/4 teaspoon salt
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Toast the pecans: Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread chopped pecans out on a large baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the chopped pecans are lightly browned and aromatic.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cream, milk, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, to 230 F.
  4. Lower heat slightly if the mixture threatens to boil over. Add the toasted pecans and continue cooking, stirring constantly, to 236 F.
  5. The mixture should form a soft ball when a little is dropped in cold water. Remove from the heat and add vanilla; let stand for about 5 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thickened and slightly creamy, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  6. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, spoon the pralines onto a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper. If the mixture becomes grainy, heat and stir over medium heat for a few seconds, or until it can be easily scooped and dropped.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Jalebi is a hot favorite on any special occasion be it a birthday, wedding or festival. Jalebis, though mostly eaten by themselves, can also be soaked in warm m...

View ingredients & steps
Ingredients
  1. Batter Ingredients:
  2. 2 cups flour (self-rising)
  3. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  4. 1 cup yogurt
  5. 3 strands saffron
  6. 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  7. 3 inches vegetable oil (canola/sunflower cooking oil for deep frying)
  8. 2 drops food coloring (orange)
  9. Syrup Ingredients:
  10. 1 cup sugar
  11. 2 tablespoons rosewater
Directions
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, yogurt, and food coloring into a batter and keep aside for 24 hours to ferment.
  3. Pour batter into a ketchup dispensing bottle.
  4. To make sugar syrup, melt the sugar with the rosewater in a small saucepan and boil to get a one thread consistency. To check for one thread consistency, carefully dip the tip of your index finger into the syrup, touch your finger and thumb together and gently tease apart. If one thread is formed between your finger and thumb, the syrup is done.
  5. Turn off the fire, add the saffron strands and cardamom and stir well.
  6. Heat the oil in a deep wok-like dish. To test for the right temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top of the oil, the oil is hot enough. Keep the flame on medium at all times to ensure thorough cooking of the jalebis.
  7. Now hold the ketchup dispenser over the hot oil and squeeze the batter into the oil into a wiggly, randomly coiled circle. Squeeze out several at a time.
  8. Fry till light golden and then remove and put directly into the sugar syrup.
  9. Allow to soak for 2 to 3 minutes and then remove.
  10. Serve warm.
