GâTEAU D'HéLèNE (COCONUT CAKE)
This coconut cake was adapted from a recipe by Simone (Simca) Beck, best known as Julia Child's co-author on "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." She called it "Gâteau d'Hélène: a white cake filled and iced with coconut cream and apricot." The recipe, published in Ms. Beck's 1972 book, "Simca's Cuisine" (Lyons Press, 1998), capped what she called a "carefree lunch" because it could be made ahead. Indeed, this cake is best baked, filled, frosted and refrigerated for at least an hour (or up to two days). Kind of like a madeleine, its layers are purposefully a bit dry, as they need to hold a dousing of orange juice and rum. The whipped cream filling and frosting is soft and dreamy. It's an elegant celebration cake.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Center a rack in the oven, and heat to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, and butter the paper; dust with flour and shake out the excess.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sea salt.
- Working with a mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and orange zest on medium speed for about 4 minutes, until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one by one, beating for 1 minute after each egg goes in, and scraping often.
- Reduce the speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, beating until it almost disappears into the batter. Add the remaining flour mixture, and beat until it is incorporated. Give the batter a last stir with a spatula, then scrape it into the pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack, let the cake cool 20 minutes, then run a table knife along the edges and remove the pan's sides. Invert the cake onto the rack, remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment, turn the cake over and cool to room temperature right side up.
- Cut the cake into three layers; flip the top layer so that the crumb is exposed.
- Prepare the filling and frosting: Stir together the orange juice and rum (if using), and using a brush or spoon, lightly moisten each layer with the liquid, then spread with apricot preserves.
- Working with a mixer, whip the cream just until it holds soft peaks, and add the vanilla. Working on medium speed, add the sugar in a slow, steady stream; stop beating when all the sugar is incorporated and the cream is firm. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the cream into a small bowl, and stir in about 2/3 cup of the shredded coconut. You'll have a very thick mixture.
- Place the layer that was the top of the cake on a serving platter, jam side up, and cover with half the coconut cream. Top with the middle layer, jam side up, and spread with the remaining coconut cream. Place the last layer on the cake, jam side down. Using an icing spatula or a table knife, frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream, then coat with the remaining shredded coconut.
- The cake can be served now, but it tastes and cuts better after it's been refrigerated for at least an hour.

Steps:
- (Shredded coconut sometimes called southern style gives the cake a crunchier texture, but flaked coconut can be used if necessary. Look for canned coconut which is more moist than the bagged coconut, it's fine if it is sweetened.) Heat oven to 350°F, butter and flour a 9x13" baking pan.
- Heat milk and butter to scalding (do not boil), set aside.
- Combine the flour baking powder and salt, mix well.
- Beat eggs, add sugar beating all the while until they are thick& foamy.
- Gradually add hot milk, then the vanilla beating all the while.
- At slow speed beat in the flour, beat til smooth and combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350°F for approx 30 minutes (test after 25 minutes with a toothpick).
- Cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake slightly in the pan.
- PREPARE THE TOPPING: Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in the brown sugar, add coconut& vanilla.
- Spread the topping over the cake (do it evenly reaching right to the corners).
- Turn oven to broil and place cake 6" from the heat.
- Broil until bubbling and dark brown, turning if necessary to ensure even coloring.
- The topping should be beyond golden but be very careful it can burn in an instant if you are not watching it.
- Cool to room temp, cut into squares and serve.
HELEN'S CHEESECAKE
Steps:
- Butter a 9-inch or 10-inch springform cake pan. Set aside 3/4 cup of the crumb dough to sprinkle over the top. Press crumb mixture on bottom and up sides of form (as much as will stick).
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix butter, egg yolks, sugar together. Add cheese, vanilla, grated rind and lemon juice, flour and baking powder. Beat 4 egg whites until peaked. Fold into cheese mixture and pour on top of dough. Add chopped walnuts to reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle mixture over the top.
- Bake for 1 hour or until set. Turn off heat, open oven door and let stand for 1 hour or until cooled. Remove rim of spring form pan and set cake with its cake bottom on serving plate.

Yield Makes sixteen 2-inch squares
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Set a smoker to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the sugar, eggs, and egg whites on high speed until pale and thick enough to form a ribbon when you lift the beater and let the mixture fall back on itself. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jasmine extract, salt, and flour, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Stir in the coconut flakes just until evenly distributed (the batter will be thick). Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a moistened rubber spatula.
- When the smoker reaches the target temperature and the smoke runs clear, put the pan directly on the grate, close the lid, and bake until a toothpick or the tip of a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Remove from the smoker and let cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve. The bars can kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
