Company Greetings! We're
gearing up for the busy cooking, shopping and entertaing months ahead, looking
for easy yet elegant delights to bake this season. A mouthwatering butter cake,
bursting with the nutty taste of poppy seeds is in our recipe box this month.
It is just the kind of sweet to keep on hand at this time of the year. For simple
entertaining, nothing beats the Ricciareli, an Italian almond cookie from Sienna.

FROM OUR RECIPE BOX - Poppy Butter Bundt Cake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking for a moist butter cake that's not too sweet, something to serve with coffee or tea after a light supper or brunch? Are you a fan of poppy seeds? If the answer is "yes", then this is the recipe for you. The batter for our buttery Bundt cake surrounds a surprise swirl of poppy seed filling. There's a nutty quality to the seeds that contrasts nicely with the tangy sour cream and lemon in the batter. Bake the cake into a sumptuous loaf or in mini pans as we did for the photograph. (This recipe makes 8 mini Bundt cakes or one 10-inch cake.) For chocolate or spice lovers, our Chocolate, Almond or Cinnamon Schmears would work well in this recipe. And consider dressing it up with a light sugar or lemon glaze. | |

FROM OUR RECIPE BOX- Ricciarelli, Italian Almond Cookies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Italian, "ricchi" means "rich", just like these cookies from Sienna. They use almonds in two ways, finely ground and in almond paste. We've adapted an excellent recipe from Carol Field's book The Italian Baker to work with Love'n Bake Almond Paste. Do not over bake these cookies. You want them to be lightly crusted on the outside and moist inside. They freeze well and love to be dunked in a nice glass of vin santo after dinner. | |

Holiday Baking Suggestion- Marzipandimonium Fruit Cake Recipe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We ran this recipe last season after it won the Almond Board of California's prize for creative use of almonds, including marzipan. Thinking about the holidays to come, we're bringing it back to give you time to line up all the ingredients you'll need for holiday baking. (It's the one thing our friends keep requesting.) Dispel any notion you have of holiday fruit cake. This moist cake resembles a French pound cake packed with a huge variety of unusual dry fruits. (No candied citron here.) | |
