Lemon grass, Pineapple, and Buttermilk…oh my.
These were our three ingredients to base our dessert on. We had fun with it and made an upside down pineapple buttermilk cake paired with a lemon grass granita with lemongrass infused pineapple. We plated with the inspiration of a beach scene in mind. The cake was pretty delicious…it had a good flavor and was incredibly moist. The sugar that we used with the pineapples gave the cake an extra delicious flavor. I have been experimenting with white cake recipes and think I finally found one that I like.
It was one of the girls birthdays today, so after class we went to the dorm and surprised her with a princess pinata and cake…yes I said pinata! It was quite hilarious as we watcher her beat it open all by herself.
Tomorrow we are having a class dedicated to all things cheese. We each choose a kind of cheese and have to give a brief presentation about it. We are also each making various accompaniments for our cheese such as cherry and walnut bread or semolina breadsticks…then we will sit down and taste about 20 kinds of cheese. It should be interesting. Til then…
