Marble Cheese Cake

Posted by: HẠNH ĐỖ on: Tháng Năm 20, 2009

2 cups graham crackers, crushed into crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

2-8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened

1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

3 eggs, room temperature

4 oz bittersweet/semisweet chocolate

Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until mixture is wet (or pulse in a food processor until crumbs clump together) and begins to stick together. Spread mixture evenly in a 9 inch springform pan and press down firmly. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
Reduce oven temperature to 300F.
Melt chocolate into a medium sized bowl.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add eggs, one by one, beating each until fully incorporated. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir well. Pour chocolate and plain batters into the prepared pan, evenly distributing and alternating batters. Swirl with a clean knife.
Bake cheesecake for 50-55 minutes. It will not look totally firm when done; it will jiggle. The whole cake should jiggle evenly, though the center might be a bit looser.
Cool cheesecake at room temperature for at least 1 hour before refrigerating. Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Almond Yogurt Cake

Posted by: HẠNH ĐỖ on: Tháng Năm 18, 2009

2 cups cake flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar (I used superfine, but plain white sugar is fine)

1 large egg

5 tablespoons butter

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 silvered almonds for topping (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 9″ cake pan with cooking spray.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Mix in yogurt and almond extract until mixture is smooth.

Stir wet and dry ingredient together until just combined. Spread evenly into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes, until tester just comes out clean.

If you use an 8″ pan, it will take a bit longer to bake. I think this is probably an extremely adaptable recipe in terms of add-ins and different flavors.

Pour the batter into the paper cups, and bake until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake, about 30 minutes.
