Watermelon Cake
Summer in a slice.

Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 boxes white cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
  • 5 tsp. red gel food coloring, divided
  • 1 c. mini dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 3 c. (6 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 10 c. powdered sugar
  • ½ c. whole milk (plus more as needed)
  • 2 tbsp. vodka
  • 2 tsp. green gel food coloring
  • 2 tsp. yellow gel food coloring
  • A handful of black mini jelly beans
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line four 8” round cake pans with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare cake mixes according to package instructions and add 4 teaspoons of the red gel food coloring to achieve a watermelon red color.
  3. Toss the chocolate chips with flour to coat and fold into the batter.
  4. Divide cake batter between prepared pans and bake according to package instructions or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and about half of the powdered sugar until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar, ½ cup of milk, and ¼ teaspoon salt and beat until fluffy. If the mixture is too stiff, add more milk.
  6. Divide frosting into two medium bowls. Leave one bowl of frosting white and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of red gel food coloring into the other bowl of frosting.
  7. Level the top of each cake to create even layers. Place a small dab of red frosting on the cake plate (to keep cake in place). Place down one cake and top with about ¾ cup red frosting, then top with second cake and repeat with the third and fourth layer.
  8. Scrape a heaping ½ cup of frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a 1-inch tip and pipe a ring around the outer edge of the cake. Using about a cup and a half of frosting, smooth a crumb coat around the outside of the cake. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator until the frosting is hardened, 1 hour.
  9. Spread the outside of the cake with the remaining white frosting. Fill in the top center of the cake with red frosting, being careful to keep the red frosting inside the piped white ring.
  10. Arrange jelly beans in the top red frosting, pressing them in gently to adhere.
  11. In 2 small bowls, mix 1 tablespoon vodka each with the green, light green and yellow gel food coloring. Using 2 separate sponges, blot the colors in vertical lines up the sides of the white frosting, creating a watermelon rind pattern.

Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
Ice Cream
  • 400ml thickened/whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped Oreos
  • 40g plain flour
  • 40g cocoa
  • 150g castor sugar
  • 150g butter
  • 150g chocolate
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup chopped Oreos
  • 20 whole Oreos
Instructions
Ice Cream
  1. Add cream, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whip on high speed until you reach stiff peaks. Add chopped Oreos and fold in.
  2. Place in a 8” x 8” cake pan and freeze overnight.
Brownies
  1. Preheat a fan forced oven to 175C (340F). Spray 30/20cm baking tray pan with non stick cooking spray and lay the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add butter and chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time and repeat until it becomes smooth.
  3. Add flour, eggs, sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix on low speed using the paddle attachment or a wooden spoon until everything is combined.
  4. Slowly add chocolate and butter mixture while mixing on low speed.
  5. Add chopped Oreos and fold in.
  6. Add batter to baking tin lined with baking paper. Add whole Oreos on top. Bake for 30 min or until a pick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Once the brownies have baked and cooled completely use a 3 inch round cookie butter to cut out 12 shapes from the brownies. I found placing a chopping board on top of your brownies and flipping them over on to the baking tray helps because you cut from the side without Oreos.
  8. Add a scoop of ice cream on top of one brownie cookie and then add another cookie on top and squish the ice cream.

Balsamic Steak Roll-Ups
Securing the roll-ups with toothpicks makes them MUCH easier to cook. Just don't forget to remove them when it's time for serving!
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. skirt steak, cut into thin strips
  • ½ c. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1½ tbsp. whole-grain mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • ½ tsp. dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into thin strips
  • ½ lb. asparagus, woody ends removed
  • 2 small zucchini, cut into thin strips
  • Toothpicks
Instructions
  1. Make marinade: In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced by about a third and is syrupy in consistency, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare vegetables: In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add peppers and cook 2 minutes, then add asparagus and zucchini and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  3. Assemble roll-ups: Lay steak strips flat on cutting board, and brush both sides with marinade. Place a small handful of vegetables in the center of each piece of steak. Wrap steak around vegetables and secure with a toothpick.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place steak roll-ups in skillet seam side-down and cook 2 minutes until nice and seared. Use tongs to turn roll-ups to cook on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Brush with remaining marinade as steak cooks.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • ½ c. low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ c. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ c. lightly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ c. bourbon
  • 2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tsp. cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 lb. tri-tip steak (or a very thick cut of sirloin)
  • 2 tbsp. butter, cut into tabs
  • Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, bourbon, mustard, Cajun seasoning, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Pour out about ⅓ of mixture to use for glaze later. Toss steak in mixture and let marinate for 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours. (If marinating for more than 20 minutes, cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
  2. Heat grill or grill pan to high. Remove steak from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip steak, then lower grill to medium-high and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. (A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should register around 130°.) Remove from grill and let rest on cutting board before slicing against the grain.
  3. Meanwhile, make glaze: Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until mixture has thickened slightly. Whisk in butter until melted. Remove from heat
  4. Brush glaze over steak and garnish with parsley, if using.
