Sweet Corn And Basil Cake Let With Peach Recipe 425 Food

SWEET PEACH CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium bowl until blended. Beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a separate large bowl to blend. Stir in the chopped peaches. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with no crumbs attached, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter, cream, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla in a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until light and creamy, adding extra water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled loaf. Allow the frosting to set for 25 minutes. Cut the loaf into slices and serve.

PEACH SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• For the marinated peaches: Mix together the granulated sugar, orange liqueur, basil and orange zest in a bowl. Add the peaches and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the sweet biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until it is incorporated. Mix the buttermilk and vanilla together in a small pitcher. Slowly add the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring the contents of the bowl as you do so, until just combined.
• Form 6 biscuits and place them into a cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle the tops generously with coarse sugar. Bake until golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• For the whipped cream: Using an electric mixer, whisk together the heavy cream and granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
• To serve, halve the biscuits, then place the bottom halves on serving plates. Top with the whipped cream and marinated peaches. Rest the biscuit tops on the side so the filling is visible. Garnish with torn basil.

PARMESAN-BASIL CORN CAKES

Steps:

• Cut the kernels off the corn. Pulse half the corn with the egg in a food processor; transfer to a medium bowl. Mix in the remaining corn, the flour, parmesan, basil, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Coat a large skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook spoonfuls until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

UPSIDE-DOWN PEACH CORNBREAD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar along with the cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and begins to bubble, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
• Arrange the peaches in the bottom of the skillet, fanning out in a circular pattern. Set aside.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a hand mixer, beat the remaining 9 tablespoons butter together with the granulated sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. On low speed, add half the dry ingredients, half the milk, the remaining dry ingredients, then the remaining milk. Increase the speed to medium and beat just until everything is well mixed, scraping down the bowl once. (Use a spatula to be sure there are no dry ingredients stuck to the bottom of the bowl.) Drop the batter in large dollops over the peaches in the skillet, then use an offset spatula to gently smooth it out, being careful not to disturb the peaches.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and puffed and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes. While the cake is still warm, run a butter knife around the outside, then invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm.

SWEET CORN AND BASIL CAKE LET WITH PEACH RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 6 cup jumbo muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, eggs, lemon zest, and basil; beat until just combined. Add half of the flour mixture; beat on low until combined. Add remaining half of flour mixture; beat on low until just combined. Spoon, distributing evenly, into 6 cup jumbo muffin pan. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until knife inserted comes out clean. Meanwhile, make the peach compote. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine peaches, water, 1⁄3 cup sugar, and ginger. Simmer 5-7 minutes, or until peaches are tender and juices have thickened slightly. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, stir together mascarpone and honey until combined. When ready to serve, slice a small portion off the top of each cake to make a flat top. Place each cakelet on a plate, cut side down. Top each cakelet with a generous amount of peach syrup (from compote), allowing to soak in and drizzle down sides. Top each with peaches (from compote) and serve with mascarpone. If desired, garnish with basil.

PEACH COFFEE CAKE (SWEET DOUGH)

Steps:

• This dough is a basic sweet dough. I use it for cinnamon rolls and monkey bread, as well. Combine the milk, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Let stand for 2 minutes to proof the yeast. Add the egg, butter, nutmeg, salt, and half of the flour. Mix until smooth, then beat for 2 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough onto floured surface and knead just enough to smooth the dough and thoroughly combine ingredients. Kneading makes gluten, so don't overdo it, or you'll lose tenderness. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• To assemble, punch the dough down, and divide in half. Roll the dough into discs and spread into the greased pans. Cover and let rise in the pan until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, mix the sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. Canned peach slices are usually too thick. Slice them as necessary to get reasonably thin pieces, about 1/2 inch.
• When the cakes are risen, brush the dough with melted butter, and sprinkle with a mixture of sugars and cinnamon. Spread peaches over the top, covering as much dough as possible, and then sprinkle again with the sugar and cinnamon mix. You want a good, thick coating of sugar, to glaze the top.
• Bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 minutes. The coffee cakes should be golden around the edges, but somewhat pasty where risen between the peach slices. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.

SWEET CORN CAKE

Steps:

• Place butter and shortening in mixer bowl and whip until soft. Continue whipping until fluffy and creamy. Add masa gradually while mixing, add water gradually and mix thoroughly.
• Place corn kernels in blender or food processor fitted with metal blade coarsely chop. Stir into the masa harina mixture. Place (regular) cornmeal, sugar, whipping cream, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl and mix quickly. Add masa mixture and mix lightly, just until blended. Pour into greased, 8-inch-square baking pan, and cover with foil.
• Method 1: Bake in 350-degree oven 40 to 50 minutes or until corn cake has a firm texture.
• Method 2: Place corn cake pan in a larger pan and pour boiling water half way up corn cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees 40 to 50 minutes, checking water level and adding more boiling water, if necessary. When cooked through, remove corn cake pan from water.
• Let cooked cake stand at room temperature for few minutes before cutting into squares or using a small ice cream scoop to serve.
• Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
