Maple Belgian Waffle Cake

Makes 1 8-inch triple-layer cake
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS
– ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
– ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
– 2-¾ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups pure maple syrup, divided
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
– 1-¼ cups buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 3 – 7-inch prepared Belgian waffles
– ½-tablespoon pat salted butter

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Prepare the three 7-inch Belgian waffles and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

4. In another large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in 1 cup of the maple syrup. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until blended.

6. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Beat until fully-blended.

7. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Place a Belgian waffle in the center of the batter in each pan and press it slightly into the batter.

8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer pans to a cooling rack.

9. Place one cake layer on a plate. Cover with a ¼ cup of maple syrup. Repeat with the second layer. Top with the third cake layer and pour the remaining syrup over the top. Place the pat of butter in the center of the cake and serve.

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around.

The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch?

This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
