Years ago, my family housed a French exchange student for a few weeks. While we taught her how to be an Italian/Irish/German/American/New Yorker, she taught us how to make incredible French cuisine!

Soft Food

76 calories per cookie. The dough should be chilled before rolling to make it easier to work with. Instead of light dusting, you need a ton of flour.

to make these cakes more convenient to bake at the last minute and serve while still warm, the molds can be filled and then refrigerated for at least 8 hours, the baked.

It is absolutely essential that great care be taken in beating the egg whites so they remain creamy and do no weep or break from overbeating and prevent cake from rising so magnificently. It’s best to underbeat them slightly. And they will be best if not ice-cold. The pan is not greased so that the batter easily climbs up the sides as it bakes. Tracing a square in the top of the unbaked batter with a knife also encourages rising. And keeping the cake upside down until it cools is essential to keep it from falling.

Yield: Frosting for top and sides of a 9" 3-layer cake. To be used with Carrot Cake Recipe.
