CHOCOFLAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F.
• Combine the eggs, sugar, and butter in a large bowl and mix with an electric beater or whisk by hand until well blended.
• Sift the flour and the cocoa powder into another large bowl and whisk together.
• Pour the egg-butter mixture into the flour-cocoa mixture and fold together until well combined. Set aside.
• In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cream, eggs, and vanilla. Blend on medium until well combined, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns golden brown, about 9 minutes.
• Generously grease the inside of a 9-inch (9-cup) bundt pan, including the center tube, with vegetable oil. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the bottom and some over the sides of the pan.
• Pour the chocolate batter into the pan, smoothing it evenly with a silicone spatula.
• Gently pour the flan mixture over the chocolate batter, gently smoothing it evenly with a silicone spatula. Cover the bundt pan with foil.
• Place the bundt pan inside a larger roasting or baking pan. Fill the larger pan half-way with very hot water. Transfer to the oven and bake until the layers have swapped and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• It's not ready, yet! Remove the cake from the roasting pan. Remove the foil, and let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To unmold, cover with a plate and carefully invert to release the cake from the pan. Serve with fresh raspberries, if you like.

TRADITIONAL JOHNNY CAKES

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually pour the cornmeal mixture in a steady stream into the boiling water, whisking constantly. Turn off the heat and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth. Add the butter and whisk until melted and incorporated. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes (this will soften the grains to prevent a gritty texture as well as enable the consistency to thicken). At that point the consistency should resemble that of mashed potatoes. If it's still too runny let it sit a bit longer.
• Heat a cast iron or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add some butter, oil, or bacon grease to the cast iron pan. If using non-stick still add a little oil/butter.Drop the batter in roughly 1/4 cup scoops onto the frying pan about 3 inches apart. Let the cakes fry undisturbed for several minutes until the edges are browned. This can take anywhere from 6-12 minutes. If you try and flip them too soon they will fall apart in a mushy mess so be patient. Once the edges are browned flip the cakes over and use a spatula to press them down to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch so they can become nice and crispy. Continue to fry on the other side for several more minutes until the cakes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Add a little more oil or butter when you flip them over to fry them on the other side.Transfer the cakes to a wire rack placed on baking sheet and put them in a warmed oven to keep warm while you make another batch.
• Serve hot with butter, maple butter, maple syrup, or applesauce.Makes twelve 3-inch Johnny cakes.

CARAMEL CAKE (SALTED CARAMEL CAKE)

Steps:

• Place sugar and water into a medium pot, stir to combine, but to not stir from this point forward. Cook over high heat, washing down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in water as needed to prevent crystals.
• Cook until desired color of caramel is reached (amber) and immediately remove from heat. Very slowly pour in (room temperature) heavy cream while whisking quickly. The mixture will bubble up (a lot) and boil. Add (room temperature) butter, return to heat, and bring back to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes whisking constantly.
• If you want to make this a salted caramel, add your salt at this point. Whisk it in (start with less than you think you'll need), dip a spoon into the caramel, let it cool, taste it, add more salt as needed.
• Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (about 2 hours). Transfer to a container and place in fridge to thicken.*
• Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour three 6" cake rounds, line with parchment.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer combine butter and sugar. Beat on med-high until pale and fluffy (2-3 mins). Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Add vanilla and caramel and mix until incorporated.
• Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour (3 additions of flour and 2 of milk). Fully incorporating after each addition.
• Spread batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 35-40 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
• Place cakes on wire rack to cool for 10mins then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
• Place egg whites and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk until combined.**
• Place bowl over a pot with 1-2" of simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture is hot and no longer grainy to the touch or reads 160F on a candy thermometer (about 3mins)
• Place bowl on your stand mixer and whip on med-high until the meringue is stiff and cooled (the bowl is no longer warm to the touch (approx. 5-10mins)).
• Switch to paddle attachment. Slowly add cubed butter and mix until smooth.
• Add cooled caramel and whip until smooth.*** Add additional salt if desired if making a salted caramel buttercream.
• Trim cake layers slightly. Place one layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with 1-2 Tbsp cooled caramel. Spread evenly pressing into the cake layers so the cake absorbs the sauce. Top with 2/3 cup of frosting, spread evenly. Repeat with remaining layers.
• Frost and smooth the outside with a thin crumb coat. Chill for 20mins.
• Frost and smooth the outside of the cake, generously frosting the sides specifically. Smooth with an icing smoother. Use a cake comb on the sides of the cake. Repeat, scraping off more frosting each time, until smooth.
• Using a small spoon, place dollops of caramel around the top edges of the cooled cake, allowing some to drip down.****
• Fill in the top of the cake with more caramel and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Pipe rosette dollops using a 1M tip with remainder of frosting.
