Super Sweet Divinity

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I would actually beat it until a little frothy not to stiff peaks but able to still pour in the egg whites in a thin stream…

Hi Clueless– have to say that sounds kind of funny! Anyway the whole process is the cook time so from start to finish it should take you 30-40 minutes. I put my gas burner on med-high and cooked the sugar until the temp on the candy thermometer read Hard Ball… My candy thermometer actually spells it out for me in case i can’t read the little lines! Ha! once it hits Hard Ball remove it from the heat add the egg whites and beat away. Wear an apron! I kind of got sugar on my sweat shirt from the flying sugar! hope this helps!

When the recipe says beat the egg whites, do you mean just beat them a little bit or beat until frothy?

This sounds deliciously delightful to my tastebuds, but I’m not sure what the cooking time refers to. I’m a newbie in the kitchen, so if you could just clarify what I’m cooking for 40 minutes and at what temperature, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, and I’m sorry for my cluelessness – lol!
