PARSNIP HAZELNUT CAKE WITH PRALINE CREMEUX
Many years ago, when I had a bakery back in San Francisco, I made parsnip cake instead of carrot cake. Parsnips, browned butter, hazelnuts and sage are ingredients I use together often in ravioli or agnolotti pasta dishes, and I simply translated that powerful combination into a sexy dessert.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Cook with the sage leaves until the butter is browned, then remove the leaves and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve for later. Let the butter cool slightly.
- Add the eggs and sugar to a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until it has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the grated parsnips, ground hazelnuts, reserved browned butter, flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Fold until just combined, then pour into a 9-by-13-inch nonstick baking dish.
- Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
- For the praline cremeux: Add the cream cheese, almond butter, caramel sauce, oat milk and salt to a food processor. Turn on the food processor and stream in the cream until fully blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate while the cake is baking.
- Spoon the cake into jars or rocks glasses, then drizzle with the cremeux and garnish with the reserved fried sage leaves.
