  • Coconut Cake with Seven-minute Frosting

    Coconut Cake with Seven-minute Frosting

    Grandmama’s Homemade Coconut Cake is a from scratch cake with decadent (and no fail) 7 minute icing. This is a favorite of our family for holidays and special occasions year round. I found it in an old box of papers that belonged to my grandmother. She had typed it out on letterhead from the company where she worked and later came back, circled it, and wrote in “Real good”. After trying it for myself, I had to agree! When it comes to moist cakes, this is the mother of them all. If a crumb drops from your fork, don’t be surprised if you find your finger chasing it around your plate – it’s just that good.

    Top it off with no fail seven minute frosting and a sprinkling of coconut and prepare yourself for a coconut cake experience unlike any other! One of the great things about Grandmama’s seven minute frosting is that you don’t need a double boiler to make it and you can forget fretting over whether or not the weather is dry enough – this comes out perfect every time regardless. If you’re making a layer cake and you like generous amounts of frosting, I suggest doubling the frosting recipe.

    This cake has become one of the break out hits from my third cookbook, Sweetness. I’ve received so many emails saying the price of the cookbook was worth it for this one recipe alone. And if that wasn’t recommendation enough, my mother’s friends tell me this is the recipe she tells everyone that they just “have” to make first the moment they get that cookbook.

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 1-1/2 c. Sugar,
    • 2 Tbsp corn syrup,
    • 1/4 c.water,
    • 6 egg whites,
    • tsp. Vanilla

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    In a heat proof bowl of an electric mixer, mix all ingredients (except vanilla) and place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
    Whisk the mixture until it reaches 160 degrees using a candy or instant read thermometer.
    Transfer the mixing bowl to your mixer, and with the whisk attachment, beat on high until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 6 minutes).
    Whip in the vanilla. Frost cake immediately.
    Enjoy!

  • Baked Zucchini and Tomato Fan Casserole

    Baked Zucchini and Tomato Fan Casserole

    Baked Zucchini and Tomato Fan Casserole

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • 3 young zucchini, sliced into finger-like strips, keeping them attached at the base
      • 3-4 tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds
      • 200g (7 oz) cheese, grated (choose your favorite, like mozzarella or cheddar)
      • Salt, to taste
      • 7 tablespoons sour cream
    • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
    • Smoked paprika, to taste

    Directions:

    1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Set your oven to 200°C (390°F) to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.

    2. Prepare the Vegetables:

      • Wash the zucchini and carefully slice them into finger-like strips, making sure to keep the base intact so the zucchini holds together like a fan.
    • Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds.

    3. Arrange in the Baking Dish:

      • Gently fan out the zucchini slices in a baking dish. Tuck tomato slices in between the zucchini “fingers,” spacing them evenly.

    4. Season the Vegetables:

    • Lightly sprinkle salt and smoked paprika over the arranged zucchini and tomato slices.

    5. Make the Garlic Sour Cream:

    • In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.

    6. Add the Sour Cream Mixture:

      • Spoon the garlic sour cream mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish, making sure to cover the zucchini “fingers” and tomatoes.

    7. Top with Cheese:

    • Generously sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the zucchini and tomatoes.

    8. Bake:

    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

    9. Serve:

      • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm as a beautiful and delicious side dish or light meal.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Cut Carefully: When slicing the zucchini, ensure that you don’t cut all the way through the base so that the “fingers” remain attached.
      • Cheese Variations: Mix and match different cheeses for added depth of flavor.
      • Sour Cream Alternatives: Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a lighter option.

    Nutritional Benefits:

      • Zucchini: Low in calories, rich in vitamins, and high in fiber.
      • Tomatoes: Contain antioxidants like lycopene, which may help reduce the risk of certain diseases.
      • Cheese: Provides protein and calcium.

    Dietary Information:

      • Vegetarian: Yes
      • Gluten-Free: Yes (ensure the sour cream is gluten-free)
      • Dairy-Free: No (contains cheese and sour cream)

    Storage Tips:

    • Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
    • Reheating: Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
  • AIR FRYER ROAST BEEF

    AIR FRYER ROAST BEEF

    Air fryer roast beef is simple to cook, but also tender and flavorsome. This recipe uses rosemary, thyme, salt, and a little olive oil, for perfect classic roast beef.

    You might think of roast beef as a fancy, complicated dish to cook, but it’s actually very simple! Especially air fryer roast beef.

    Air frying is a quick roasting method, so it’s ready in about half the time it would normally take in a regular oven.

    This stops the meat from drying out, and because the meat sits in a basket rather than in a pan of oil it absorbs less oil, but still retains the moisture making it tender and juicy.

    This air fryer roast is one of my favorites to serve, especially for a Sunday roast or a holiday dinner. If you like this recipe you should also try my recipe to roast lamb in an air fryer, and also my recipe for a pork roast in an air fryer (especially if it has crackling as the hot air gets it super crispy!).

     

    About Time 

    • Prep Time 15
    • Cook Time 35
    • Total Time 50

    Ingredients

    • 2lb/ 900g beef roast
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 medium onion, (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons rosemary and thyme, (fresh or dried)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
    2. Mix sea salt, rosemary and oil on a plate.
    3. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Place beef roast on plate and turn so that the oil-herb mix coats the outside of the beef.
    4. If using, peel onion and cut it in half, place onion halves in the air fryer basket.
    5. Place beef roast in the air fryer basket.
    6. Set to air fry beef for 5 minutes.
    7. When the time is up, change the temperature to 360°F (180°C). Flip the beef roast over half way through the cooking time if required by your air fryer [Note 1].
    8. Set the beef to cook for an additional 30 minutes. This should give you medium-rare beef. Though is best to monitor the temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked to your liking. Check it early, and cook for additional 5 minute intervals if you prefer it more well done.
    9. Remove roast beef from air fryer, cover with kitchen foil and leave to rest for at least ten minutes before serving. This allows the meat to finish cooking and the juices to reabsorb into the meat.
    10. Carve the roast beef thinly against the grain and serve with roasted or steamed vegetables, wholegrain mustard, and gravy.

    Note

    1. Some air fryers require food to be turned over during cooking, some don’t. Check your manual if you are unsure if this is required for your air fryer.

The air fryer ensures that the potatoes come out perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. This recipe is simple, quick, and uses minimal ingredients. Let’s get started!

    Ingredients

    Table of Contents

    • 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

    Equipment

    • Air fryer
    • Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
    • Mixing bowl
    • Tongs

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

    1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
      • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
    2. Slice the Potatoes:
      • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
      • Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
    3. Soak the Potatoes:
      • Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 20-30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
    4. Dry the Potatoes:
      • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring the slices are dry is crucial for achieving crispiness.

    Step 2: Season the Potatoes

    1. Season the Slices:
      • In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme or rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.

    2. Air Fry:
      • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy.

    Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

    1. Check for Crispiness:
      • If the slices are not crispy enough, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
    2. Garnish and Serve:
      • Transfer the crispy potato slices to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.
