Grandma’s Banana Spice Cake With Sea-Foam Frosting Recipe
ack in the early 1980’s my grandmother spent a Saturday afternoon teaching me how to make her banana spice cake. I am not sure why they call it sea-foam frosting, but I can tell you…it does taste delicious!
What I really enjoy about this recipe is the right combination of sweet buttermilk, ripe bananas, along with the spices. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with regular milk.

How To Make A Mississippi Mud Dessert Cake
hen it comes to making chocolate cakes, I often times get bored with the classic ones. I look for recipes that have a twist or some added goodies to them.

Champagne cake
found a great recipe for Champagne cake when I was searching the internet the other day. I generally make boxed mixes and add ingredients to them to spice them up, but I decided to live on the edge and try making a cake from scratch. Also my husband and I don’t drink but were given a bottle of champagne as a gift and didn’t know what to do with it, so we found a great recipe for this champagne cake.
It uses cake flour, which I used King Arthur unbleached cake flour for this recipe, 6 egg whites, which I seperated myself instead of using powdered egg whites, champagne, sugar and other ingredients (listed at the link below).
It was fairly simple to bake, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the recipe. I topped it off with buttercream icing, made from scratch as well. There is something to be said for making cakes from scratch. They taste fluffy and light, and so flavorful. It is definitely one of those recipes that I will pull out for holidays and special occasions. This is not the last time my family has had this cake. I will definitely make it again! Read more

In the Quran: In Paradise, there are different kinds of fruit
The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love. The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general. The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
====================================
The Apple in the Bible
In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Sustain me with grape-cakes; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me! Read more
The Ice Breaker
Baklava is a great way to break the ice in a new office, or lift your fellow employees’ tensions with a sweet gourmet treat. While doughnuts and bagels have traditionally dominated, baklava is far more creative and will surely get the attention of your co-workers. No one will resist the sweet crispy nutty buttery flavor packed in every bite of baklava.
Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry featured in many cuisines in the area once controlled by the former Ottoman Empire, in Central Asia and in the Middle East. It is made of layers of phyllo dough stuffed with chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios, cashews or almonds and flavored in a variety of ways. The pastry is often sweetened using honey and cinnamon or with a sugar rose water syrup mixture. One of the most critical ingredients found in baklava that gives it a rich flavor is clarified butter. Clarified butter is butter that has been rendered to separate the milk solids and water from the butterfat. Typically, it is produced by melting butter and separating the different components that surface.
Baklava comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. The traditional diamond shape is popular among most every one who makes it. As you cross different parts of the world, baklava is made different like the half-shell mini rose shape or the finger roll. There’s also an open faced phyllo cup commonly known as the birds nest made with whole nuts – cashews or pistachios. The “caviar” burma baklava is really outstanding and is made of a fried shredded phyllo with whole nuts. Read more
