Hi Lucia,
Searching on "lemon bavarian" was not successful. All of the recipes with
that name had marshmallows and nuts in them. Using different keywords, I did
find the three recipes below. I did not find any that went into the freezer,
though. All of the desserts of this type that I found are chilled in the
refrigerator before serving, not the freezer. The first recipe below is very
close, but it does not have orange juice. The second one has orange juice,
but it also has orange jello plus the lemon jello.
The third one also does not have orange juice, although you could add some
orange juice to the recipe to make it exact.

Dear Phaedrus:
I have recently wanted to make zabaione. I have never made this before,
and I have seen it made on television. I wanted to find the recipe,
but the recipes I have found on the internet do not incorporate heavy
whipped cream like the recipe on television. I was wondering if it would
be better with the cream or without.
Thank you for your quick response,
Angela
Hi Angie,
Well, when it come to ethnic or regional recipes, I like to be authetic. Even if I'm merely tasting a dish in a restaurant,
I like it to be authentic, at least the first time I try it.
I've never tried zabaione made with cream. It might be better than the traditional way. But, if I were making zabaione for
the very first time, I 'd make it the traditional way, as in the recipe below.
Phaed
Zabaione
a.. 6 egg yolks
b.. 2/3 cup (120 g) sugar
c.. 18 tablespoons of Marsala (this should come out to slightly
more than a cup)
Beat the yolks and the sugar until the mixture is palest yellow
tending towards white, then beat in the Marsala and cook over a
double boiler. Do not let it reach a boil, but remove it from the
fire as soon as it thickens. When it has cooled to merely warm,
you can, if you like, fold in an egg white beaten to very firm peaks.

Hi Phaedrus,
After doubling my recipe (to 20 dozen) for chocolate chip/coconut
/oatmeal/ Hershey bar shavings cookies for an upcoming family
reunion, these ordinarily moist & plump cookies are baking up flat,
soft in the middle, & hard and crunchy around the edges. I used
pulverized oatmeal, shortening, cooled pans, & after the first
batch I varied the temperature from 325 to 375 degrees but the
result is the same. How can I make these cookies "taller" & softer?
Will freezing the dough prior to baking help?
Thanks,
Margie
Hi Margie,
You can try freezing the dough. it might help. Are you already chilling the dough before baking?
If you are, I don't know that going from chilling to freezing would make much difference. Are you p
utting them into the oven quickly, or are they sitting out in a hot kitchen for a time before baking?
This is strange to my mind. Instead of just doubling everything, have you tried making two separate
batches? If you try that and still have problems, it would indicate that something odd is going on
with either your oven or with one of the ingredients.

Wow Phaedrus!
Thanks for the quick(!) response and your suggestions. The reunion
is out-of-state next weekend so I'll freeze most of the dough for
the trip but wanted to share some cookies before we left. Will try
your suggestions, and bake up more from this batch to see if we can
salvage the remaining dough. Thanks again.
These cookies really are good & best with a tall glass of milk...

Hi George,
Here's the problem: I got 305 "hits" on spice cake with brown sugar, just in
one recipe database. That's without even looking anywhere else. I'm sending
you a few of them. See below. If none of these is right, then I'll need more
information to narrow it down some, if you can remember any details about
the cake. For instance: Sour Cream in the frosting? Cream Cheese? Nuts in
the cake? Raisins? Was your grandmother of any particular nationality? (If
she was of German descent, it might be a German recipe....Irish, etc....)
Particular part of the U.S.? (Northeast, Southeast, etc ....? The state she
lived in or grew up in might be helpful.)
