Food Processor Cake Lime Chocolate Chip Recipes

LIME CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• Grease and flour a 22 - 24 cm round cake pan (with a removable bottom).
• Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and cream-coloured.
• Combine flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, vanilla sugar and salt; add to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing carefully.
• Add quark and lime zest, stir to combine.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on how soft you want the cake to be).
• Let the cake cool before removing it from the pan.
• Dust the cake with powdered sugar, decorate with thin lime slices and serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE LIME CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place a large overlapping piece of aluminum foil over the bottom of the springform pan, and then insert pan ring over it. Fold the foil extra foil up and around the pan and place the whole thing on a second piece of foil, also folding it and pressing it securely around the pan, having a water tight covering.
• In a food processor, process cookies until they are crumb-like, add melted butter and continue to process. Pour crumb mixture into springform pan and press with your fingers to line the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the cheesecake.
• Place a kettle of water on for water bath. In a food processor beat the cream cheese until smooth, add the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and lime juice.
• Take crumbed pan from the refrigerator and place it in a roasting pan. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crumb pan, and then carefully pour the hot kettle of water into the roasting pan so the water reaches 1/2 way up the pan so the water does not splash into cheese cake.
• Place roasting pan in oven for 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes. It should feel set, but still wobbly in the center. Take the roasting pan out of the oven, carefully remove the springform pan from the roasting pan and place it on a rack. Peel off the outer layer of foil, and tear away the side bits of the first layer of foil and leave the pan to cool. Once the cake comes to room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. Transfer to the plate you're going to serve it on, a plate without a lip, or a cake stand. Unclip the springform pan and remove the outer part. Carfully lift the cheesecake removing the metal bottom. The aluminum foil can stay on the cake. Serve chilled.

CHOCOLATE CHIP LIME COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugars until they are fluffy (medium setting on a mixer).
• Gradually add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking soda with the butter mixture, beating at low speed (low setting on a mixer) until blended.
• Stir in lime extract and chocolate chips.
• Drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet with a tablespoon; for bigger cookies, I used an iced tea scoop.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (using the tablespoon), or 15-18 minutes (using the iced tea scoop) or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely.

LIME MOUSSE CAKE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Combine ground cookies and sugar in processor. Add melted butter and process, using on/off turns, until moist clumps form. Press mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of 10-inch-diameter springform pan.
• For filling:
• Place lime juice in bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over to soften. Bring 1/2 cup cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in gelatin mixture. Cool slightly. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and lime peel in large bowl to blend. Slowly beat white chocolate mixture into cream cheese mixture. Using clean dry beaters, beat remaining 2 cups whipping cream in another large bowl to peaks. Fold into white chocolate mixture. Pour filling into prepared crust. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Release pan sides from cake. Transfer cake to platter and serve.

CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt, process for a few seconds.
• Add butter and vanilla, process until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Add chocolate chips and eggs and pulse until dough is evenly moistened.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, press onto pans as logs.
• Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and cut into diagonal 1" slices.
• Turn slices on sides and return to oven for 5-10 minutes.
• Let cool.

LIME ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH LIME GLAZE AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• For cake:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Sift flour, 1/2 cup superfine sugar, and salt into medium bowl; repeat sifting 3 times. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, lime peel, and vanilla on medium speed in large bowl until frothy (mixture may turn neon green but color will change when remaining ingredients are added). Add cream of tartar; increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle 1/3 of flour mixture over whites and gently fold in until incorporated. Fold in remaining flour mixture in 2 more additions just until incorporated. Transfer to ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan with 4-inch-high sides and removable bottom (do not use nonstick pan); smooth top.
• Bake cake until pale golden and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 38 minutes. Immediately invert cake onto work surface if pan has feet, or invert center tube of pan onto neck of bottle or metal funnel and cool cake completely.
• Using long thin knife, cut around cake sides and center tube to loosen. Lift out center tube with cake still attached; run knife between cake and bottom of pan to loosen. Invert cake onto rack, then turn cake over, rounded side up. Set rack with cake atop rimmed baking sheet.
• For lime syrup and lime glaze:
• Combine sugar and 3 tablespoons lime juice in small saucepan; stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Brush syrup all over top and sides of cake. Immediately press pistachios onto top and sides of cake, pressing to adhere.
• Stir powdered sugar with remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle glaze over top of cake. Let stand until glaze sets, about 10 minutes. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and store at room temperature.
• Transfer cake to platter; cut into wedges and serve.
