If you want creamy, try the coffee or lemon crunch cake at Yasukochi’s Sweet Stop in Japantown, or the Sacripantina (a kind of genoise with marsala and cream) from Stella Pastry or the St. Honore (cream puffs, cream and...

, as my friend and I shared on one occasion. The salmon is also quite tasty. The Desserts are equally great! Choice of 6 desserts to choose from, the ginger creme brulee is different, but the chocolate genoise is again, my all...

some cakes, like genoises, always need to be moistened after baking. you can either brush on a simple sugar solution, or flavor it with your favorite liqueur (kahlua, grand marnier, chambord, etc.). brush the solution over the...

was a raspberry-champagne cream cake, one I’d made several times before to appreciative reviews (but only in a single tier size). Basically, it’s four thin layers of vanilla genoise, soaked with a framboise syrup and...

It’s all foggy here and my dacquoise has been in the oven for over three hours and hasn’t dried out yet. I think it’s going to stay somewhat sticky. I was going to sandwich it between two layers of genoise with...

things I’ve never seen anywhere else. One was a white petit fours, sort of shaped like an Alp. White fondant over an inverted cone shaped stack that started with 3/8" of genoise at the bottom, then a 2 1/2" tapered mound of...

, and the paella. There is a tapas appetizer with faaaaabulous garlic shrimp, garlicky artichokes, and the albondigas (Spanish-style meatballs) are to die for. The best dessert, IMHO, is the brazo gitano (gypsy’s arm), a...

chewy with a sugary crust and stuck like mad. For the second batch, I used Julia Child’s recipe for genoise in MTAOFC Vol. II. This worked better, but I was supposed to beat the eggs (3) and sugar (1/2 c) together to the...

Chocolate Dome, using a chocolate flavored genoise baked in a stainless steel bowl, then cut into two layers and filled with chocolate mousse (and “iced” with chocolate ganache). You’d just need to make two of...

, but it comes from a recipe for Rasberry Champagne Cream Cake from “Four-Star Desserts” by Emily Luchetti. To make this beautiful cake, you’ll need 2 8" Vanilla Genoise cakes and about a cup of Rasberry Puree...

MMRuth, Paula Peck’s The Art of Fine Baking is hard to get now, I think (I could be wrong) and is VERY good. Her genoise is the ur-genoise, I think. Contemplate before disposing of. Or, if you must, please bequeath/sell to...

on the Princess cake http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/408884#2637120 "the Princess cake was just terrible. I don’t know if the genoise had been sitting on the counter too long before they applied the chambord, but that cake...

, and there is one still-unknown element. Please search your sense memories and help me out. It had layers of genoise, alternating with chocolate cream, mocha cream, and praline cream, apricot spread always atop the chocolate, and...
