Hi Phaed - Are you saying I'm unusual? Just kidding, I know what you mean.
I haven't make this cake yet, so I can't give you any hints as to what to
expect or not to expect.
This cake sings as it bakes & ONLY IF THE INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS ARE
FOLLOWED EXACTLY! All set? Here goes:
1 c butter
2 c brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder mixed w/1 c buttermilk (BUT NOT YET)
1 c raisins
2 tsp cinnamon
2 sq bitter chocolate. melted
3 eggs, separated
1 c strawberry jam
1 c chopped nuts
1 tsp cloves
4 c sifted flour
Grease & flour angel food cake pan. Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter & sugar.
Add egg yolks & stir. Add melted chocolate & stir. Add raisins & stir. Add
cinnamon, cloves & flour; stir. Add nuts & jam; stir. Now add the baking
powder to the buttermilk; quickly add to the cake mixture & stir. Fold in
the stiffly beaten egg whites. Quickly pour mix into prepared angel food pan.
Bake at 350 until cake stops singing, about 45 minutes.
As I said, I haven't tried this yet as I don't happen to have any buttermilk
or strawberry jam on hand. I'm not sure if the raisins & nuts could be omitted
either. Anyway, I am going to try it out as soon as I get all the ingredients.
Good luck. Priscilla

My grandmother was from Louisville Ky. and had the best meat ravioli recipe.
Some the ingredients were brains, spinach, chicken, veal and cheese.
I have tried to remember the rest but no luck.
Please help.
Thank you.
Linda
Hi Linda,
That sounds like some form of "ravioli alla Genovese". I could not possibly
locate your grandmother's exact recipe, but there is some information and
recipes for that dish at these links:

Panini
Yield: 4
This sandwich, with its oozing cheese, caramelized figs and salty prosciutto,
is absolutely incredible; it has major drool factor! Yield is 2 panini.
Ingredients:
Panini
4 (3/4-inch/2 cm) slices ciabatta bread
4 slices prosciutto, di Parma
4 slices soft Italian asiago cheese
2 slices shaved Grana Padano cheese
4 fresh fig, quartered
2 tbsp good quality honey
4 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
Panini
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a medium nonstick skillet on medium-high heat.
Add the figs and saute about 1 minute or until starting to turn golden
in colour.
Add honey and toss to coat.
Continue sauteing for about 30 seconds or until caramelized.
Set aside to cool.
Assembly
On 1 slice of the ciabatta layer 1 slice of Asiago, 1 slice of prosciutto,
1 slice of Grana Padano, and half the figs.
Then add 1 more slice of prosciutto and one more slice of Asiago.
Top with another slice of ciabatta bread.
Brush both sides of the panino with olive oil.
Repeat to make one more panino.
Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat.
Add the panini and cook, pressing lightly with a spatula, for 2 to 3 minutes
per side or until golden and the cheese is melted.

Hello,
I recently purchased a belgian waffle iron. I tried the
included recipe but it only tasted like yeast. I am looking
for a recipe for malted belgian waffles. In the 1980s there
was a chain of diners in the Atlanta, GA suburbs called 'Rockin
Robbin' that served the most wonderful malted belgian waffles.
I haven't had any like them since. Can you help? Thank
you, Jenn
Hi Jenn,
I could not find the Rockin' Robbin recipe, nor any recipes for malted
Belgian waffles.
However, I did find a malted milk waffles recipe and a Belgian waffles
recipe that's supposed to be very good. See below.
Phaed
Malted Milk Waffles
1/3 cup malted milk powder
2 1/2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, melted
In a large bowl, stir together malted milk
powder, pancake mix and white sugar. In a
separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff
peaks form; set aside. Add egg yolks,
buttermilk and butter to dry ingredients;
mix well. Fold in egg whites. Spray preheated
waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour
batter onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden
brown. Serve warm.

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
fruit or confectioners' sugar (see below)
Beat eggs in a bowl until thick. Add milk, butter, and vanilla and beat
for 2 minutes.
Combine remaining ingredients (except for fruit or confectioners' sugar),
sift into egg mixture, and beat well. Batter should be thick but pourable;
add additional milk if necessary.
Butter waffle iron, heat, and pour batter onto hot iron. Serve with sliced
bananas and strawberries; blueberries and sliced peaches; poached pears
and cranberries; or sliced apples and cinnamon. Or brush waffles with melted
butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.
