Cheesecakes have always been a little intimidating to me. This is the recipe I used for my first Classic New York Cheesecake. I’m glad I did it. As it turned out it was really tasty and actually very easy to make.

My top did crack a little, but I put cherry topping on it and no one knew the difference!

So it wasn’t perfect! It was exactly what I was looking for, and made with things I usually have on hand. A nice dense cheesecake.

This Old Timey Kentucky Chess Pie is from a cookbook called “A Love Affair with Southern Cooking” by Jean Anderson. The recipe is originally from Kentucky’s Talbott Tavern in Bardstown and dates back to 1779.

It’s custardy, not overly sweet and looks beautiful with the cornmeal rising to the top and toasting.

Delicious.

A fabulous Easy Homemade Peach Cobbler recipe. It is quick to make and delicious every time. I’ve also made it with strawberries, peaches, plums, and blue berries. My favorite is half blueberry and half peaches mixed together.

I’ve also bought the mixed frozen fruit from Walmart that have strawberries, blackberries, and blue berries and used it. All combinations were wonderful.

It’s good hot, cold, and especially warm with vanilla ice cream. I’ve tried a lot of cobbler recipes, but this is absolutely the best.

These Brownie Cheesecake Cherry Bars are a cheesecake and cherry combo that is just the bomb! The added bonus is how incredibly simple they are to make and especially how fancy they look on the dessert dishes.

Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator. However, flavor is best at room temperature.

Do watch when you’re baking the cream cheese layer as it browns very quickly near the end.

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Praline Frosting

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans toasted

Instructions

Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the butter, cocoa and water in a saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until the mixture is smooth and the butter has melted; remove from heat and cool.
3. Combine the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and vanilla; beat on medium speed with a mixer until smooth.
4. Combine the butter mixture and buttermilk mixture; beat until well blended.
5. Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl; mix well.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture; beat until blended. The batter should be thin.
7. Spray three 8" round cake pans with cooking spray and line them with wax paper.
8. Pour the batter evenly into the pans and bake at 350 degrees for 22-24 minutes or until cake tests for doneness. Cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.

To assemble the cake:

1. Spread 1/2 c ganache between the cake layers; spread the remainder on the sides of the cake and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Slowly pour the frosting over the center of the cake. Spread it to the edges of the cake, allowing some frosting to run down the sides.

Chocolate Ganache:

1. Microwave the chocolate and cream in a glass bowl for 2-3 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted; whisk until smooth. Gradually add the butter, whisking until smooth and melted. Cool, whisking often, until spreading consistency, about 15-20 minutes.

Praline Frosting:

1. Combine the butter, brown sugar and whipping cream in a 2 quart saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring often. Boil 1 min; remove from the heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Add the pecans and stir gently for 2-5 minutes, or until the frosting begins to cool and thicken slightly.
2. Pour immediately over the cake.
