GINGERBREAD TOWN-SQUARE CAKE
As far as gingerbread houses go, this one is admittedly a bit of a time investment-but if you're wanting a headturner that will also taste delicious, then this one certainly breaks the mold! Because of the gingerbread-flavored Dacquoise that is placed in the center (which is a layer cake made from crisp sheets of nut-flavored meringue and smooth buttercream), this is a house you can actually slice into like a cake and eat. As the finishing touch to this confectionery masterpiece, delightfully-decorated gingerbread townhouses are lined up around the edges to create the feel of a quaint European city.

Steps:
- Place 1 meringue layer on a cake stand, and spread 1 1/2 cups buttercream over its surface. Top with a slice of genoise. Brush genoise with one-third of the syrup. Spread 1 1/2 cups buttercream over genoise. Repeat layering 2 more times. Spread enough buttercream over sides of cake to fill in any spaces between layers and create a smooth surface. Refrigerate cake for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
- Just before serving, spread frosting over cake, smoothing sides and creating peaks on top to resemble snowdrifts. Sprinkle top with sanding sugar. Gently press 3 cookies onto each side of cake, using 1 of each shape per side and alternating molasses and honey gingerbread. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch jelly-roll pan, and line pan with parchment. Butter and flour parchment. Place a clean, smooth kitchen towel on a clean surface; sift confectionersâ?? sugar evenly over towel. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; set aside.
- Set bowl of electric mixer over, but not touching, a pot of simmering water. Combine brown sugar and eggs in bowl; whisk until a candy thermometer registers 110 degrees (warm to the touch), about 2 minutes.
- Beat on high until thick and pale, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, transfer to large bowl. Add flour mixture in thirds, folding after each. In a small bowl, combine butter and molasses; add in steady stream while folding in last flour addition. Pour into pan; smooth with offset spatula.
- Bake until cake is springy to the touch and golden brown, about 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully turn out cake over towel. Place short end toward you. Pick up edge of towel; begin rolling cake. As you roll, incorporate towel; continue rolling into a log. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
GENOISE FOR GINGERBREAD TOWN-SQUARE CAKE
Genoise is a classic European sponge cake that relies on whipped eggs for volume. The cake is often used in petits fours and roulades; its texture is a perfect counterpoint to the crisp meringue layers in the Gingerbread Town-Square Cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, line the bottom with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Dust with flour and tap out any excess. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, gingerbread spice and salt in a medium bowl. Beat 1 stick butter and the brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the whole egg and egg yolks and beat 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the water. Beat until just smooth, being careful not to overbeat (the batter may look curdled).
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack, remove the parchment and let cool completely.
- Beat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the ginger jam in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully cut the cake in half crosswise with a serrated knife and spread one half with the ginger filling. Top with the other cake layer and cut lengthwise, then crosswise into 6 equal rows, making small cubes. Freeze the cubes until firm, about 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan. Hold each cake square over the bowl on a fork and spoon chocolate over the top until evenly covered. Let the excess drip off, then transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet. Top with crystallized ginger. Let set, about 2 hours at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator; before completely set, loosen with a spatula.
VANILLA GENOISE CAKE
A baker's basic. Genoise is a dry cake that is used with ingredients that are very moist, so they can soak up the extra moisture and take on that flavor, like trifles, or mousse filled cakes. This is my fool-proof formula.

Steps:
- Oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line the bottom of One 8 or 9 inch round cake pan OR 8-inch square pan, OR 11x17 sheet pan with parchment, and spray lightly with some sort of spray release (like Pam).
- Combine the butter and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Set aside somewhere warm (you want the butter to stay melted).
- Combine the flour with 3 tbl.
- of the sugar and sift again.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of your mixer, combine the eggs and rest of the sugar.
- Place the mixing bowl in a large pan of hot (not boiling, very hot tap water is good) water, and mix with your VERY CLEAN hand (kids love this part) until the eggs feel warm to the touch (body temp)*.
- Return the bowl to the mixer and whip on high speed until cool, light and at the ribbon stage (when you lift the beaters, ribbons of batter fall back into the bowl and don't disappear very quickly).
- Now, everyone says to use a rubber spatula, but I find it much easier to use my hand to do this next part**.
- Sprinkle about 1/3 of the flour onto the eggs and quickly and gently fold into the batter.
- Fold in half the remaining, then the rest.
- Take about a handful of the batter and mix into the small bowl of butter and vanilla until well combined.
- Gently fold that back into the batter.
- Divide between the pans and bake as follows: for an 8" square, 20-25 min.
- ;an 8" round, 25-30 minutes; a 9" round, 20-25 minutes; and an 11x17 sheet pan, 15-20 minutes.
- The cakes should JUST BEGIN to shrink away from the side of the pans, and should spring back when you lightly touch them in the center.
- Remove from oven, let cool about 10 minutes in the pan then turn out onto a flat surface and let cool completely before peeling off the parchment.
- Set aside until ready to use.
- DO NOT OVERBAKE.
- This cake is best if allowed to sit a day before using in trifles.
- NOTE 1: Genoise is supposed to be a dry cake.
- It was made specifically to take moist toppings so it could soak them up.
- *NOTE2: I learned to use my hand when warming yolks in culinary school.
- The idea is that as soon as it feels warm on your hand, it is at the perfect temperature to whip to ribbon stage.
- **NOTE3: I learned to fold flour into delicate batters like this with my VERY CLEAN hand in culinary school also.
- At first I thought it was stupid, but I quickly saw it was the best way to be able to tell if all of your flour is mixed in and avoid any un-incorporated flour bits.
- I mix angelfood cakes this way, too.
- Children love to do this!
GENOISE
The classic European sponge cake. No chemical leavener, just air that is beaten into the eggs. Folding (stirring without deflating) is the biggest factor. Be gentle!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 8 inch round cake pan. Line with parchment paper and grease it as well. Lightly flour pan and paper.
- Sift together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt onto a piece of wax paper.
- Place the eggs into a mixing bowl set over a pan of hot (not boiling) water. Add the 1/2 cup sugar to the eggs and whisk until the mixture feels warm (not hot) to the touch, about body temperature. Place the bowl onto a mixer and beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes pale yellow in color and falls off the end of the whisk attachment in long ribbons. Add the vanilla. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the beaten egg and fold in. Continue to add the remainder of the flour, folding it in each time.
- Place about 1 cup of the batter into the bowl containing the melted butter and combine the butter with the batter. Add this back to the main batter and fold it in. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Immediately bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 25 minutes or until the top is a light brown. Cool in pan on a rack about 10 minutes and then invert onto a rack. It is best to invert it again onto another rack so that it cools with the top up. Let cool completely before cutting or frosting.

GENOISE BROWNIE CAKE
This is a dense cake that is very pliable and goes well with any rich frosting or filling. A great cake would be to bake two layers of this genoise, sandwiching a layer of fudgy brownies, and topping with chocolate icing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Sift cake flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a bowl.
- Whisk 4 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar together in a bowl. Beat on high speed using an electric mixer until pale yellow and tripled in volume. Mix in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing batter until fully incorporated after each addition.

- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan. Leave the oven on.
- Sift all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl.
- Place 1 cup butter and chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup sugar; stir briefly. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
- Beat the remaining 1 cup sugar and 4 eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer until just combined. Stir half gently into the chocolate mixture. Beat the remaining sugar-egg mixture until pale and doubled in volume; fold into the chocolate mixture. Add sifted flour mixture; mix until no dry spots remain. Pour batter into a round 9-inch baking pan.
- Bake brownie in the still-hot oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan, at least 20 minutes.
- Transfer brownie layer to a plate; coat the top with frosting. Set genoise on top; spread frosting over the entire cake.

GRAMERCY TAVERN GINGERBREAD CAKE
This recipe produces an incredibly moist, dark, rich, sticky, dense gingerbread cake with a complex and spicy flavour . I've slightly modified the recipe based on the one Claudia Fleming, pastry chef, prepares at New York City's famed Gramercy Tavern. The original version is in brackets. Recipe was printed in "Gourmet Magazine" (Feb. 2000). Cake develops a lovely caramelized crust that can stick to the pan. Spray generously with cooking spray with flour or line pan with parchment paper (greasing both well) and allow cake to cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. You can use part whole-wheat flour and, if you want to avoid alcohol, you can replace the stout with strong coffee. Recipe makes a 10" bundt cake (or springform); if you want, you can halve the recipe for an 8x8 square pan. Cake is even better the next day (so it is a good make-ahead dessert). Serve cake plain, dusted with confectioners sugar, with whipped cream, or with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter bundt pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess.
- Bring stout and molasses to a boil in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda, then cool to room temperature. (Be patient, it's important to allow this to cool before continuing.).
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. Whisk together eggs and sugars. Whisk in oil, then molasses mixture. Add to flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
- Pour batter into bundt pan and rap pan sharply on counter to eliminate air bubbles. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out with just a few moist crumbs adhering, about 50-60 minutes. (Be careful, as cake may burn easily.) Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and cool completely.
