What's your favorite dessert recipe?

Question

Next time I have a party with friends I want to make a delicious dessert.

Answer 1

LEMON UPSIDEDOWN CAKE
One of my absolute favorite cakes!!! It is unique, tart, sweet, & beautiful. Just goes to show that pineapple hasn’t cornered the market when it comes to upside-down cakes.

7 lemons, washed & sliced very thin
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 T. cornstarch or 4 T. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. hot water
3 T. lemon juice, fresh
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. lemon peel, grated (zest)
1 egg
1 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. milk, or half & half cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 8” round or square *GLASS dish. Wash & slice (very thin) unpeeled lemons, & arrange on bottom of dish; set aside.

Glaze: In small saucepan, combine 1 c. sugar, cornstarch or flour, & 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir in hot water & lemon juice. Cook & stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat, & add 1/4 c. butter, stirring till melted, then add 1 tsp. lemon zest. Spoon half the mixture over the lemon slices. Reserve remaining glaze.

Cake: In large mixer bowl cream 1/4 c. butter & 1/2 c. sugar at medium speed until light & fluffy, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg & 1 tsp. lemon zest. Meanwhile, combine 1 c. flour, 1/4 tsp. salt, & baking powder. Reduce speed to low. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk or cream, beating after each addition just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into pan. Using a spatula carefully spread batter over glaze & lemons. Bake 35 min., or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 min. on wire rack, then invert onto serving plate. Serve warm, topped with reserved glaze. May also top with whipped cream along with the glaze, if desired. Serves 8, at about 390 calories per serving.

(NOTE: because of the high acid content of the lemons do NOT use a metal cake pan---believe me, I speak from experience. For the same reason, do NOT cover with aluminum foil when storing finished or leftover cake.)

Answer 2
