WALNUT HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
Total Time: 1 Hr Serves: 16
DESCRIPTION
Sweet, spicy and very moist. And the flavor becomes even better if the cake is baked and frosted the day before serving. The batter is easily mixed by hand, but you will need an electric mixer for the frosting.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKE:
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground Ceylon cinnamon*
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, crushed**
• 2 cups mashed banana (4 large, ripe bananas)
• 1 cup chopped California walnuts
FOR THE FROSTING:
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 pounds (three 8-ounce bars) chilled cream cheese, chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
• 1 1/2 cups chopped California walnuts
*Ceylon cinnamon is smoother and sweeter than ordinary supermarket cinnamon. If you can’t find it, and must use regular ground cinnamon, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
**Mash 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks with a potato masher until finely crushed; you will have about 3/4 cup crushed pineapple.

PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Cover the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment paper or waxed paper, cut to fit, pressing the paper snugly over the bottom of the pan.
2. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, then sift them together into a bowl or on to a large sheet of waxed paper; set aside.
3. Put the granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, and stir vigorously until smoothly blended with the sugar. When the eggs and sugars are blended, whisk in the oil and vanilla. Add the flour mixture all at once and stir just until moistened and the ingredients are evenly combined. Do not beat. Add the pineapple, banana, and walnuts, and stir just until blended.
4. Divide the batter among the three prepared cake pans, spreading it evenly. After filling the pans, give each one a bang on the countertop, to dislodge any air bubbles in the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently with your finger and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of a layer comes out clean.
5. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, and then turn the layers out onto cooling racks to cool completely before frosting. If the parchment or waxed paper has clung to the layers, peel it off.
6. To make the frosting, you will need an electric mixer, preferably a freestanding one, although a powerful hand-held mixer will work. Cut the butter into 2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl of the mixer. Start slowly, gradually increasing the speed, and beat the chilled butter on medium speed until it becomes malleable, yet still cool, about 3 or 4 minutes. Cut the cream cheese into 2-inch pieces also, add to the butter, and continue to mix until smooth and thoroughly blended. Add the vanilla, then slowly add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until blended. Increase speed slightly and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes, until the frosting becomes light and fluffy. By hand, fold in the walnuts.

WALNUT MACARONS WITH LIMONCELLO BUTTERCREAM
Total Time: 90 Mins Serves: 24 Serving Size: 1 sandwich cookie
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE WALNUT MACARONS:
• 1 cup icing sugar, divided
• 3/4 cup California walnuts, chopped extra fine
• 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
FOR THE LIMONCELLO BUTTERCREAM:
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons limoncello
• 1 lemon, zest
PREPARATION
FOR THE WALNUT MACARON:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a food processor, add 3/4 cup of icing sugar and walnuts and pulse. Set aside.
3. With a stand mixer on medium speed, whisk egg whites until foamy. Reduce speed to low while adding remaining icing sugar (1/4 cup), then increase the speed to high, and whisk until stiff peaks form (approximately 8 minutes).
4. Sift walnut mixture over egg whites, and gently fold until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
5. If desired, for a variation of colors, divide macarons batter into three bowls and fold in 1 to 2 drops of food coloring into each bowl before piping and baking.
6. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip, and pipe 3/4-inch rounds 1-inch apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. To flatten any peaks, dip your finger in water and gently press down on the macarons.
7. Tap the bottom of each baking sheet to release any trapped air bubbles in the macarons. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking.
8. Place 1 baking sheet in oven at a time and turn oven down to 325°F. Bake for 12-15 minutes. After each batch, increase oven temperature to 375°F, for 5 minutes then reduce back to 325°F for the next batch. Continue until all macarons are baked. Let cool before removing from parchment.
FOR THE LIMONCELLO BUTTERCREAM:
1. For the buttercream, combine butter, sugar, limoncello and lemon zest in a stand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
2. Sandwich two similar sized macarons with 1 teaspoon of filling.
3. Serve immediately or stack the macarons between layers of parchment in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.
