Ask Mr. Rosner

[JimmyTheMook]

Dear Mr. Rosner:

Today I would like to bake a cake. If Mr. Rosner were to bake a cake today, can you please inform/suggest what flavor it should be and would icing be necessary in this heat ?

Does Mr Mook think that Mr Rosner, as well as being a master of witty repartee and a dispenser of bon mots, is also a culinary genius, specialising in patisserie and confectionery? Ms Rain would be very interested to see if Mr Rosner's expertise, does indeed, stretch that far. And also, whether the ingredients for said cake, can be bought in a corner 7-11 or Family Mart.

Mr. Rosner is only too happy to advise on culinary topics be they of the confectionery variety or relating to livestock. One could always cheat with a simple vanilla cake but the climate here in Thailand demands a moist to almost wet cake. Mr. Rosner's mother in law, pritapaporn singna had a great recipe that she penned shortly before her death in the lemon grass fields of Buri Ram.

Prissy as she was known to the locals met her death after being thrown into lemon grass from the back of a buffalo. Mr. Rosner will always remember her that way -

Here is Prissy's famous Buri Ram Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe.

May she rest in peace.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup butter
  
• 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  
• 3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 cup white sugar
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1 fresh pineapple - peeled, cored and cut into rings
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
   
2. Melt the butter. Brush a little bit of the butter on the inside of a 9 inch cake pan.
   
3. Mix 5 tablespoons of the butter with the dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice. Place this mixture in the bottom of the cake pan. Arrange the pineapple rings on the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern (be creative). Set pan aside.
   
4. Stir together the flour, salt, white sugar, and baking powder.
   
5. Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until stiff but not dry.
   
6. Beat two of the egg yolks until lemony yellow. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup pineapple juice, vanilla, and remaining melted butter. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour batter over the top of the brown sugar and pineapple rings.
   
7. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes then cover pan tightly with a serving dish and invert so that the pineapple side is up.

Mr. Mook is open to suggestions Mrs. Rain and Mr. Rosner may opt for a SP Quickie. Mr. Mook will be willing to make it to Foodland for a quick meal at the Took Lae Dee and for said cream.

Footnote: It wasn't my recipe and I'd no wish to imply that the Scots are tipplers but a Scottish friend sent it to me.

[kankaroo]

I'm Scottish and find that post about fruitcake highly offensive !!!

For no bloody Scotsman would waste his time or precious whisky cooking a f#####g fruit cake ya wee raj,

go-on BEAT IT !!

[BADBRAD]

Whatever happened to Mr. Rosner? I haven't seen him for quite some time. I miss him.

[astral]

Any flavour goes down well, after the cotton wool that they call cake in Thailand.

Mixed fruit cakes are good, the problem is getting the ingredients at a reasonable price.
