Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese and Honey

Total Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: French
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Boil the sugar, water and tartaric acid five minutes. When nearly cold beat into the syrup the whites of the eggs, beaten until foamy, and the flavoring extract. Store in a fruit jar, closely covered. To use, put three tablespoonfuls into a glass half full of cold water, stir in one-fourth a teaspoonful of soda, and drink while effervescing.
  • A pint of any kind of fruit juice may displace the water, when a teaspoonful of lemon juice should be added to the contents of each glass before stirring in the soda.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grate the chocolate, put it in a double boiler with the milk; stir until hot, and add the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and one pint of the cream. When cold, freeze; when frozen, remove the dasher and stir in the remaining pint of the cream whipped to a stiff froth.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mash the raspberries; add half the sugar and the lemon juice. Put the remaining sugar and half the cream in a double boiler; stir until the sugar is dissolved, and stand aside to cool; when cold, add the remaining cream, turn the mixture into the freezer, and stir until partly frozen.
  • Place the pans in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until they’re golden around the edges. In making pies of juicy fruit, it is a good way to set a small tea-cup on the bottom crust, and lay the fruit all round it. The juice will collect under the cup, and not run out at the edges or top of the pie.

Notes

I simmered down some rhubarb with recent strawberries, sugar, a splash of water, and also the husk of the flavorer pod that was left when I scraped it out. This created the foremost refreshing & sour sweetener with a splendidly sweet however not too therefore flavor that solely vanilla will bring.
Tips & Tricks: Fruit pies with lids, should have loaf-sugar grated over them. If they have been baked the day before, they should be warmed in the stove, or near the fire, before they are sent to table, to soften the crust, and make them taste fresh. Raspberry and apple-pies are much improved by taking off the lid, and pouring in a little cream just before they go to table. Replace the lid very carefully.
