Re: Cakes

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Walnut Crust

1 1/2 cups walnut pieces
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups sour cream
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 pounds cream cheese, softened
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 10-inch springform pan. In a food processor, pulse the walnuts with 1/4 cup of the sugar until finely ground. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture resembles moist sand. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes, or until browned around the edges.

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla.

Reduce the oven temperature to 300. In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle or using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese at low speed with the remaining 1 1/4 cups of sugar and the vanilla seeds just until combined. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla and the almond extract. Slowly beat in the cream until smooth. Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan and bake for 65 to 70 minutes, until lightly golden and slightly jiggly in the center.

Immediately pour the sour cream topping over the cheesecake and smooth the surface. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature. Run a sharp, thin-bladed knife around the cake and remove the ring. Refrigerate the cake for 3 hours, the cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Note: Make sure that you refrigerate the cake overnight to allow blending. I promise, it does not taste as excellent if you serve it without refrigerating it first! Three hours is nice, but overnight is awesome.

Re: Cakes

I enjoyed the pics of the cakes you ladies made. Cake decorating is a hobby of mine... Unfortunately, I don't have the pics of the few I have done. But I will post the last wedding cake I did... I had fun with it.....

My main reason for posting right now is, I have to make a Topsy Turvy Cake.... I am going to make it for a ladies tea we are having with the theme of Alice in Wonderland.... I know how it's going to look, but I am wondering if any of you have any ideas on setting up the cake? If it's not too bad, I might share pics of the end results!

Re: Cakes

Pressing-On, thanks for posting the cheesecake recipe. I'm anxious to give it a try. I have no idea where to get vanilla beans here in our area. But I do have some excellent Mexican Vanilla. (it's waaaaayyyyy better than that junk you can get in the local grocery stores). Mmmmmmm

Margie,
That's what I've always used - Mexican Vanilla. You really don't have to use the vanilla beans if you don't want too. It's still a great cheesecake without them.
