I just want to eat this, not make it. I hope you can give us a report.

That recipe should be the Wiki definition of "indentured servant."

 

[marilynfl]

Me too.

Sorry to disappoint, but, not making this just thought it read wonderful.

I swear this must be a cake I made a couple of years ago....

It was a ton of work and it came out too dry for my liking.

This year I'm going for Erin's stollen! smileys/wink.gif

Maybe the "vat of butter" technique = baking cure-all? smileys/smile.gif But you must have good stollen up there..?

I'm confused, where does all these finish ingreds go?

Am I missing something? The list of ingreds in the "finish" section has instructions for everything but the following list, unless I'm missing something. Also what is 2 cream cheeses? 1 coriander seeds? (one seed? for what?)

1/2 whole almond
1/2 whole hazelnut
1 coriander seeds
1/2 fennel seeds
1/2 butter
1 graham wafer crumbs
2 cream cheeses
2/3 sugars
3 eggs
1 vanilla
3/4 buttermilks
1-1/3 fresh raspberry

I don't understand the ingredients under the Finishes, after the creme anglais. odd list.

 

[erininny]

Weird how the recipe goes totally off the rails there at the end...

 

[mariadnoca]

Yes, it must be a misprint, everything after Cr
