Categories : Cakes Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----cake-----
1 1/4 teaspoons Baking powder
3/4 cup Unsalted butter -- room temper
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Dried currants
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2/3 cup Buttermilk
2 lg Eggs
-----glaze-----
3 ounces Cream cheese -- room temperatu
1/2 cup Confectioners' sugar -- sifted
1 3/4 cups Cake flour
2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F, with rack in center of oven. Generously grease a 9-inch (7-cup capacity) loaf pan. Dust with flour; tap pan over sink to discard excess flour. Cut piece of parchment paper or waxed paper to fit bottom of pan. Set aside. FOR CAKE, use mixer to cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating each until fluffy. Add cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Put currants in small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of flour mixture to currants. Stir currants until well coated. Add remaining flour to batter, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until smooth. Use wooden spoon to stir in currants and all of the flour. Stir until well combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth surface with spatula. Bake until well-browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 25 minutes.
Cake will crack on top. Let cake rest in pan for 10 minutes. Use flexible metal spatula to separate cake from sides of pan. Carefully remove cake from pan to cooling rack. Spread glaze on warm cake. Let cake cool completely. Cake can be stored 3 days at room temperature in foil. Cake can also be frozen up to 3 months, wrapped airtight.

FOR GLAZE, combine sugar and lemon juice in small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Answer 2

I call this "Irish Dessert" because my boyfriend, who loves it, is Irish plus it's green! I don't know the original name for it. My mother in law gave me the recipe, but I have messed with it a bit. I am not into the marshmallows, but kids seem to like them. It is refreshing and different from run of the mill pudding Chill time not included.
1 can crushed pineapple
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional)
1 (8 ounce) container non-dairy whipped topping, defrosted (Cool Whip)

Combine pineapple and juice with pudding mix.
Add nuts and marshmallows (if desired) and stir until combined.
Fold in Cool Whip and mix well.
Place in individual serving dishes or a medium bowl.
Chill for at least an hour.
Enjoy!

Bread and butter pudding. This is quick and easy. Get a half gallon of vanilla ice cream and let it melt in a bowl. Get a loaf of bread(you can cut off the crust, but i think it looks better with it on) and some room temperature butter. Spread one side of the bread with butter and then cover with sugar. Then cut the bread into 1 inch cubes and put in a bowl. Mix in enough of the melted vanilla ice cream to make it nice and soggy. Put mixture in a pan and bake at 300 for around 30 minutes. To make sure it is done press down on the middle and it will feel firm. You could also add raisins to this if you would like.

I don't know if the dessert you want needs to be alcohol free or not ... most of them require Irish Whiskey or Bailey's or both (yum!). But this one sounds good and it's booze-free: http://www.recipesource.com/desserts/06/rec0625.html
