I make this all the time; it is super easy and fast to put together. Often I’ll use lightly chopped pecans instead of hazelnuts, and I add 1/3 cup of mini semi-sweet morsels to the batter. Once the biscotti are cut and cooled, I’ll melt some more chocolate and spread across the bottom of each, setting sideways on wax paper until the chocolate hardens. I usually just melt the remainder of the morsels, though you could use chopped up 8 oz bar of chocolate of your choice, and either melt in a double boiler or melt in the microwave at 30 seconds to start, followed by 15 second increments.
Nicely moist and delicious. Important to grate the carrots very fine so that they blend into the cake. Cream cheese frosting is perfect with this cake. I increased the recipe, keeping the ratios the same, to make 3 round cake pans, and split each layer in half (I didn't use one in the finished cake; it was tall enough with 5 layers! We ate the leftover with lunch the next day)
I made this with no changes and it was very good--moist and rich. The recipe says to make in a 13 x 9 pan, but the quantity was just right for a double layer cake using two 9" square cake pans. I iced mine with a Swiss Meringue Buttercream, adding raspberry jam in between the layers, and then coated it all with Chocolate Ganache.
Great recipe. I steamed my chicken breasts, and instead of adding the cranberries and nuts separately I simply purchased a pouch of "Cranberries and Glazed Walnuts" which are sold as a salad topping (usually found near the lettuce). Omitted the green pepper.
Awesome and easy marinade. I put all the ingredients in a gallon size freezer bag, swished them to blend, and then put the meat in. Worked the marinade around it and tossed in the fridge, turning every now and then. Leftover steak is great on salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
I have been long looking for a good sweet cornbread recipe, and this one is excellent. The sweetness truly does make it more like a cake than traditional corn bread. I made the recipe exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.
