The amazing flavor of Snowville Creamery’s Spice Nog has all of the creamery’s amateur bakers snatching it up to try in all of their favorite thanksgiving recipes. The creamy texture and perfectly spiced flavor make it hard to only drink one glass and when used to bake this delicious simple spice cake we realized even the most inexperienced baker will find this cake a highlight at their thanksgiving meal. So grab your aprons and start baking because this delicious spice nog is only available for a short time but after the first sip you’ll wish it was available year round!
Cake Ingredients:
3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups Snowville Creamery Spice Nog
Butter Cream Ingredients:
1/2 cup Snowville Creamery’s Spice Nog
1 cup butter, softened
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 (8-inch) round cake pans.
Cream together butter, sugar, salt, and eggs until light and fluffy with an electric mixer. Beat in the dry ingredients, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and ground cloves, and Snowville Creamery’s Spice Nog.
When the batter is well mixed and smooth, divide it amongst the 2 prepared cake pans and bake about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes come out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out to cool completely.
While cakes are cooling create the Spice Nog butter cream frosting:
Whip together Snowville Creamery’s Spice Nog, butter,confectioners' sugar,and vanilla extract
After the cakes have cooled place the first cake layer on a cake pedestal or serving plate. Spoon butter cream onto the center of the cake.
Spread it almost to the very edges with a spatula. Repeat with the second cake layer and enjoy!
Snowville Creamery’s Caramel Drizzle Recipe:
We love adding this caramel drizzle to all of our favorite seasonal cakes especially Snowville Creamery’s Spice Cake (See yesterday’s post). Simply drizzle the warm caramel over the cake after you have finished the top layer of icing and enjoy!
With only 3 ingredients this simple caramel is so easy to make and when using the rich, creamery flavor of Snowville Creamery’s whipping cream this recipe transports you to caramel heaven!
Ingredients:
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 12 tbsp (180g) unsalted butter cut into small chunks
• 1 cup Snowville Creamery’s Whipping Cream
1 Place the sugar in a large heavy-bottomed pan over a medium heat. Once the edges of the sugar starts to turn to liquid, stir with a heat resistant rubber spatula. Keep stirring every few seconds. Be extremely careful with the heat of the pan at this stage. Heating the sugar too quickly will result in a grainy burnt caramel.
2 The sugar will initially go very lumpy, then will turn to a golden liquid. Continue to heat whilst stirring until all the sugar (including any smaller lumps) have melted. If it seems to be taking a long time, turn the heat down whilst stirring, to prevent the caramel from burning.
3 Once all the sugar has melted, very carefully add the butter to the pan. It will bubble and spit, so you may want to lower it in with a spoon to be extra careful.
4 Stir the butter in for 2 minutes. You may find that the butter doesn’t completely stir in – some of it may stay on top. This is fine (it will mix in properly once the cream is added).
5 Pure in the cream, whilst stirring. The caramel will bubble up quite a lot at this point. Once combined, allow the caramel to bubble for a minute – stirring once or twice – then turn off the heat.
6 Leave to cool, then pour the caramel into one large or 2 small sterilized jars.
7 Serve once cool, or cover and refrigerate until needed.

Peanut Butter Cake:
2¼ cups cake flour
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup creamy organic natural peanut butter (no hydrogenated oil added)
1¼ cups Snowville Creamery milk (whole milk preferred)
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon natural vanilla
3 large eggs
Directions:
Heat oven to 350ºF. Line bottom of one 9”x13” pan or two 9” round pans with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Mix slowly with a spatula to incorporate, then beat with an electric mixer: flour, sugar, peanut butter, milk, baking powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down bowl, then beat on medium to medium high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
Pour into pans and bake until cake springs back to the touch, sides are beginning to pull away, and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake is removed with a few moist crumbs attached. Cooking time varies by oven; begin to check at around 25 minutes.
Let rest in pans for 15 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks and completely cool. Fill and frost with chocolate ganache.
Chocolate Ganache: (Makes 4 cups)
18 oz high quality chocolate (dark or milk chocolate) such as Ghirardelli
2 cups Snowville Creamery whipping cream
2 Tablespoons light corn syrup (no high fructose corn syrup varieties)
Directions:
Heat the whipping cream in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. As soon as the cream begins to simmer, remove pan from the heat. Add chocolate and stir with a wooden or silicone spoon, constantly until all the chocolate has melted. Stir in the corn syrup.
To pour over cake as a ganache glaze, use while still warm. To firm up the ganache for filling or spreading more like a frosting, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Once the ganache has cooled, it can also be added to some butter cream (add ganache to taste) to make a delicious chocolate butter cream.
Buckeye cake recipe also makes delicious cupcakes. Bake at 325ºF for 22-25 minutes, or until done in center.

Truffles au Chocolate
Michelle Zozak
Patisserie Lallier
Ingredients:
1 cup Snowville Creamery whipping cream
1 3/4 cups dark chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 - 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Directions:
Put the cream in a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. When small bubbles have formed around the edge of the pan and the cream is hot, remove it from the stove top. Add the honey and chopped chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for about two minutes.
With a whisk, stir the honey, chocolate and cream mixture until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny. Place the pan in the refrigerator for about ten minutes. Remove the pan, and stir to help the mixture cool down. Put the pan back in the refrigerator, and continue to remove it every 5 - 10 minutes to stir it and check on the consistency
When the chocolate mixture has thickened enough so that it will hold its shape when spooned onto a sheet, remove it from the refrigerator. Line a metal baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a tablespoon sized scoop, and scoop even portions of the chocolate ganache onto the sheet. Place the sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate balls to firm up for at least one hour.
Sift the cocoa powder into a shallow bowl. Remove the chocolate balls from the refrigerator, and roll them in your hands to smooth out the shape. The chocolate will melt in your hands a little, so if you have non-powdered plastic gloves you may want to use them while rolling the chocolate balls. As you roll the balls, place them into the pan of cocoa powder and shake the pan gently so that the cocoa will cover them. Place the truffles in the refrigerator to set up. Let them come to room temperature before enjoying.

Blackberry Maple Crème Fraîche Cobbler with Whipped Maple Crème Fraîche Mousse
|
|
This simple to make, yet complex tasting collaboration of crème fraîche, maple syrup, tart juicy berries, is a perfect blend of tang and sweet creaminess.
I used wild black berries because I had an abundance of them growing all around me, but, any berry will work for this recipe. I suspect blueberries would be a perfect substitute for wild black berries. I also used white flour and white sugar in this recipe. If either of these ingredients don’t jive with your dietary needs or expectations, feel free to substitute with whatever flour or sugar you prefer to use. I don’t think you can go wrong with this recipe. My method for cooking is if you take good ingredients and combine them with everything you like, you can’t go wrong. This recipe is quick, easy and delicious, which pretty much sums up my style of cooking. Enjoy!
Berry Filling
2 quarts of fresh blackberries (blue berries, raspberries or strawberries will work also)
1/4 cup of Crème Fraîche
1/4 cup of Maple Syrup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanillia extract
Crumble Topping
1 ½ cups of flour
½ cup of sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 stick of softened butter
¼ cup of sliced almonds
Whipped Maple Crème Fraîche Mousse
½ cup of crème fraîche
2 tbs of maple syrup
3 tbs of powdered sugar
1 tsp vanillia extract
1tbs of whipped cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 400° In a large bowl fold ingredients of berry filling together and pour into an ungreased 9x9 baking pan. Next, combine flour, sugar, butter, salt in a mixing bowl. Mix ingredients together until they form a powdery crumble. Gently stir almond slices into the crumble mixture. Spread the crumble topping over the berries, making sure to spread them over the entire layer of berries. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 400°, reduce temperature to 350° and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until top layer is golden brown.
Meanwhile, combine ingredients for mousse, whip with a whisk attachment or by hand until soft fluffy peaks start to form. Note: If you don’t have whipped cream on hand, no worries, you don’t necessarily need to have it. Your mousse will be slightly less stiff without it, I didn’t use whipping cream when I made this and it turned out just fine, still very fluffy and mousse-like.
