Time 50m

Yield 1 Cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups half-and-half
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch table salt
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into four pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon table salt
3/4 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine

Steps:

  • For the Pastry Cream:.
  • 1. Heat half-and-half in medium saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Meanwhile, whisk yolks, sugar, and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Add flour to yolk mixture and whisk until incorporated. Remove half-and-half from heat and, whisking constantly, slowly add ½ cup to yolk mixture to temper. Whisking constantly, return tempered yolk mixture to half-and-half in saucepan.
  • 2. Return saucepan to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, whisking constantly, 8 minutes.
  • 3. Increase heat to medium and cook, whisking vigorously, until bubbles burst on surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; whisk in butter and vanilla until butter is melted and incorporated. Strain pastry cream through fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl. Press lightly greased parchment paper directly on surface and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • For the Cake:.
  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Heat milk and butter in small saucepan over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and cover to keep warm.
  • 2. In stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip eggs and sugar at high speed until light and airy, about 5 minutes. Remove mixer bowl from stand. Add hot milk mixture and whisk by hand until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and whisk until incorporated.
  • 3. Working quickly, divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until tops are light brown and toothpick inserted in center of cakes comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • 4. Transfer cakes to wire rack and cool -completely in pan, about 2 hours. Run small plastic knife around edge of pans, then invert cakes onto wire rack. Carefully remove parchment, then reinvert cakes.
  • To Assemble:.
  • 1. Place one cake round on large plate. Whisk pastry cream briefly, then spoon onto center of cake. Using offset spatula, spread evenly to cake edge. Place second layer on pastry cream, bottom side up, making sure layers line up properly. Press lightly on top of cake to level. Refrigerate cake while preparing glaze.
  • For the Glaze:.
  • 1. Bring cream and corn syrup to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Whisk gently until smooth, 30 seconds. Let stand, whisking occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Pour glaze onto center of cake. Use offset spatula to spread glaze to edge of cake, letting excess drip decoratively down sides. Chill finished cake 3 hours before slicing. Cake may be made up to 24 hours before serving.

Categories     Pie

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter flavor shortening
1/2 teaspoon vinegar, mixed with
4 tablespoons ice water
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • CRUST:.
  • Combine flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour mixture with pastry blender until blended to form pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle with water mixture a little at a time. Mix with fork until dough forms a ball. Roll out crust on heavily floured surface. Do not "overwork" the dough as this will cause a tough crust. It is more important that the crust is tender, even if it rips and looks a little messy. Turn into deep dish pie plate.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg, vanilla extract and salt until well blended. Spread onto bottom of unbaked crust. Sprinkle pecans over cream cheese mixture. Combine topping ingredients at medium speed until just blended. Carefully pour over pecans. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until center is firm to touch. Refrigerate after coooled.
