Recipe - Decadent Chocolate Cake and Cupcakes




DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE



CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE

For the chocolate ganache

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins.

  2. For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.

  3. Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)

  4. Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

  5. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.

  6. For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1–2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.

  7. To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.

  8. Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.

  9. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.

AL Pacino Pasta Spaghetti Agli Olio



AL PACINO

and AGLIO OLIO

"SPAGHETTI THAT IS" !!!





SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO
alla 
AL PACINO & AGLIO OLIO



Al Pacino and Aglio Olio you ask? What about it? Well it’s just that Spaghetti Aglio Olio always reminds me of that great fellow New Yorker Sicilian American, the one-and-only Al Pacino from da Bronx. It’s not a big deal, just a wonderful little memory for me. When I was the Wine Director at the famed Barbetta Restorante on Restaurant Row in New York’s Theater District (where Al often performs on stage), Al Pacino used to come and eat there every now and then. He never wanted anything to fancy, but something that just about all true blooded Italian-American wants, and that dish is Spaghetti Aglio Olio, plain and simple, yet it’s in our blood. That’s what Al wanted and that’s what we gave him, and Al loved it and you will too.





Recipe Excerpted
from
Grandma Bellino's Cookbook
 
RECIPE
Spaghetti Aglio Olio
the Way AL Likes It !!!
"Al Pacino That Is"

Recipe Excerpted From Daniel Bellino's Grandma Bellino's Italian Cookbook

Note : Note, the recipe for Spaghetti Aglio Olio as Al Pacino likes it and as it's written in Daniel Bellino's Grandma Bellino's Cookbook, encompasses Two-Recipes-In-One .. 

You have the Recipe for Spaghetti w/ Garlic Oil & Anchovies, and to make Spaghetti Aglio Olio the way AL Likes It, is by making this recipe, but omitting the Anchovies to end up with Spaghetti Aglio Olio, just the way the Great Al Pacino likes it. Mangia Bene!

INGREDIENTS :

¼ cup best quality Italian Olive Oil
6 cloves of Garlic, peeled and minced
½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
6 Anchovy Filets minced fine
1 pound imported Italian Spaghetti
¼ cup Italian Parsley

Put a large pot with 4 quarts of water on the stove. Add 2 tablespoons salt and bring to the boil.
Place Olive Oil and Anchovies in a large frying pan and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add garlic and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add red pepper and continue cooking on low heat until the garlic begins to turn slightly brown. Turn heat off and let rest.

Add spaghetti to the boiling salted water. Cook spaghetti according to directions on package. Two minutes before the cooking time on package start testing the doneness of the spaghetti by taking a strand out of the water and biting into it to see how far cooked it. By doing this you’ll be able to determine if it needs to cook a bit longer or if it’s ready.

Once the past is finished cooking, quickly remove it from the heat and drain into a colander, reserving about 4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to add to pasta sauce.
Add spaghetti back to the pot it cooked in and drizzle on a little olive oil and mix. Pour the garlic anchovy sauce and the reserved pasta water over the spaghetti with half the chopped Parsley and mix well.

Divide the spaghetti among four pasta plates or bowls. Sprinkle the top of each plate of Spaghetti with some chopped parsley and serve.
