Categories     St. Patrick's Day Desserts

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Cake:
1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
¼ cup butter, melted
For the Frosting:
2 pounds confectioners sugar
⅔ cup milk, plus 1 more tablespoon if needed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Coating:
6 cups coarsely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 13x9" baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  • Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, mixing just to combine. Add the milk and melted butter, mixing to incorporate.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is cooled, lift from the pan and cut into squares of your desired size. Place squares onto a cooling rack.
  • Prepare frosting by whisking together confectioner's sugar, 2/3 cup milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth. It should be a pourable consistency. If not, add the extra tablespoon of milk to thin its consistency.
  • Pour the frosting over the cake squares, covering each exposed side with frosting.
  • Place the chopped peanuts in a shallow dish. Before the frosting on the cake squares sets completely, roll the squares in the chopped peanuts, coating well.
  • Allow the squares to set completely on the cooling rack before serving.

BLARNEY STONES



Blarney Stones image

An old family recipe. The original notes called for a "Large Square Pan," but I tried it in an 8" pan, which did not work well - they turned out overly large. So I switched it to a 9x13" pan, but just be sure to spread it evenly (although the dough is a little sticky), or the thin parts will overcook.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk, divided, plus a little extra
1 -1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 lb spanish salted peanuts or 1 lb jumbo salted peanuts, hulled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Place 2 eggs in a 1-cup measuring cup and fill to top with milk (about 1/2 c, varies based on eggs).
  • Mix for 5 minutes with dry ingredients - I do this by hand the way she always did, so I'm not sure whether or not using a mixer would be good.
  • Spread evenly in a greased 9 x 13" pan for 12-15 minutes, and bake until cookies are puffy, golden brown, and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a powdered sugar icing by combining 1 c powdered sugar with a small quantity of milk (start with just a tablespoon or so). Mix well. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency (a bit like a glaze).
  • Finely crush the peanuts.
  • When cookies are done, let cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Coat in icing, then roll in nuts. Let dry on wax paper.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your dessert will taste. Whenever possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. If you're not sure about something, consult a more experienced baker.
  • Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can make your cake or cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake your desserts at the correct temperature. If your oven is too hot, your dessert will overcook and become dry. If your oven is too cool, your dessert will undercook and be gooey.
  • Let your desserts cool completely before serving. This will help them to set properly and develop their full flavor.
