Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Coconut cheesecake squares

    • hillsboroks on April 24, 2022

      These squares are a luscious blend of coconut and lime, two of my favorite flavors. The ginger snap crust didn’t add the additional flavor that I thought they would and the crust was quite hard and difficult to cut. Next I might try using a graham cracker crust or find another recipe for the ginger snap crust. I checked the gingersnap crust recipe in another cookbook and that recipe only uses the cookies and melted butter. Maybe the extra sugar caused it to harden up. The cheesecake is large enough that it would fit into a 9” round springform pan if you wish. One lime provided exactly the amount of zest and juice called for in the recipe.

Publishers Text

Who doesn't love cake? There's perhaps no dessert that makes you feel more special. It's how we celebrate birthdays and graduations. It's the rarified treat at engagement parties and weddings-and the way we welcome old friends and new babies. Whether it's a cupcake with coffee at the neighbor's house or a three-layer slice at the end of an extravagant meal, cake is a sweet, simple indulgence that makes you feel loved and a little better about the world. And who knows more about cakes than Southern Living, the magazine that outdoes itself every year with new pedestal-topping cakes? Its trusted kitchens and pages have launched or popularized some of the South's-and America's-most iconic and decadent cakes, from Hummingbird Cake to Red Velvet Cupcakes.
