MAPLE-WALNUT ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Add the walnuts to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool. Once cool, finely chop and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, beat the mascarpone, sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla and salt together in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-low speed until smooth. With the machine running, slowly add the heavy cream, then increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat until fluffy and thick enough to hold stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform cake pan with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking up some of them to fill in any gaps. You will need 2 to 3 graham crackers per layer. Spread about 3/4 cup of the maple whipped cream evenly over the top of the crackers, making sure to go all the way to the edges. Repeat until all the crackers and whipped cream have been used, ending with a layer of whipped cream. Use a small offset spatula to create a decorative swirl on top.
• Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cookies have softened and the cake is chilled through, at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Gently run a small offset spatula or paring knife around the edge of the cake, then unlock the pan and remove the outer ring. Coat the sides of the cake with the chopped walnuts. Slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together until evenly blended; set aside. Beat the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Scrape the dough onto a sheet of waxed paper, and form into a log. Roll tightly in the waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Unwrap the dough, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place the cookies onto baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Before homes had electricity they would have an Icebox, usually made of wood that had blocks of ice in it, to keep food items cold. Once the refrigerator was developed, some people still called their refrigerator "the Ice box".
