"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Ginger-Molasses Skillet Cake

 

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
8 tbsp unsalted butter
2/3 cup + 2t unsulphered molasses
2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1/2 cup sour cream



 

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, blend together the flour,
baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice
and cloves.

2. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, 6
tablespoons of the butter and 2/3 cup of the molasses. Stir over
moderate heat until melted and well combined. Stir in the milk and
vanilla and set aside.

3. Place the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and
2 tablespoons molasses in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Place the
skillet in the oven to melt the butter and sugar and heat the
skillet. Stir to combine.

4. Stir the brown sugar and milk mixture into the dry ingredients.
Beat with a spoon just until smooth. Pour the batter into the
skillet. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes,
until a tester inserted in the center o the cake comes out clean.

5. Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the sour cream
and continue beating until stiff. Serve the cake warm from the
skillet. Pass the whipped cream separately.
