Those of you who subscribe will get the magazine any day now but it should be on the news stands imminently. Starting on page 66 is an article featuring my recipe for Lemon Icebox Cake I think you will enjoy. I love it so much I"ll be including it in my next book. A perfect summer-time (or anytime) dessert.

(Lemon just might be my favorite flavor.)

debra--you're in for a great treat! DON'T GREASE THE PAN FOR THE ANGEL CAKE BATTER!

Oh Rose! This is perfect. I was just figuring out the perfect cake to bake my mother for her birthday dinner tomorrow night. She wants something light and lemony. I considered a lemon chiffon but as I just baked one for my sister a few months ago it didn't excite me. THIS does. Very much. The menu (as of now) will be: chicken in white wine sauce and creme fraîche with Israeli couscous or mashed potatoes (I can't decide) and peas. And the perfect ending: Rose's lemon icebox cake for dessert. I'm so excited to get started on the cake!

lisa, just discovered your question and i'm so sorry i missed the window of opportunity. i would have recommended third rail coffee on sullivan street for the best coffee but not sure which bakery as i find the best desserts in ny are in the restaurants!

REPLY

Good catch chocfiend, hopefully they can post a correction on the website.

Hi, I was actually referring to the attached recipe for the angel food cake itself, which starts off by saying "Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil the inside of a 10-inch (16- cup) 2-piece metal tube pan". In any event, thanks for the clarification as it answers a query that a friend (who has not made an angel food cake before) raised.

REPLY

You oil the pan when using it to mold the components--not for baking the cake.

REPLY

Hi, just read through the angel food cake recipe in the link, and it mentions oiling the tube pan lightly. this is probably an error?

REPLY

This reminds me of a cake my mother used to make, angel food with lemon pudding inside, which I loved as a child. Can't wait to try your version!

REPLY

Lemon is my favorite flavor -- savory or sweet. And I adore anything icebox! This would be a great thing to serve at a BBQ.

REPLY

thank you so much christine--i just wrote to fine cooking asking if they had it on their site!

incidentally, when we tested the recipe it was with only about 6-8 yolks (7 tablespoons/4 ounces/112 grams and it worked fine but it will also be terrific with the 3/4 cup egg yolks!

Hello Rose, I am visiting NYC next week (May 12 - 16), is there any bakery or shop you would recommend for a sweet treat and coffee?

Thank You, Lisa (from Florida)

Rose Rose Rose:
There you go...teasing us with the new book again. No, I haven't baked all the recipes in RHC yet...LOL, but I'm working my way through. New Book! New Book! New Book!

REPLY

Hi Rose,

It is very hard to find Fine Cooking in Australia, any suggestions as to where else we can find the recipe? or when your new book is out? This looks divine and Lemon is my favourite flavor! Lily

REPLY

Not Food & Wine - the article is in Fine Cooking magazine: finecooking.com.

REPLY

Oooh.. I can hardly wait. This counts as an excellent excuse/reason to buy a copy of Food and Wine.

REPLY

no, it's the angel food but not with wondra as would be too tender. you could use the lemon chiffon for a lemon/lemon experience but the classic used angel food.

REPLY

Looks wonderful! Is that with your lemon chiffon cake?
