Instructions
  1. Cook bacon according to package instructions. Allow to cool and chop cooked bacon into small pieces.
  2. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a bundt cake pan and coat with cocoa powder instead of flour.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, sift flour and cocoa powder. I usually sift my cocoa powder with a sieve instead of my actual sifter. Add baking powder and salt and set aside.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Combine melted butter in mixing bowl with oil and sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs, one at a time, ensure that each egg is well beaten before adding the next one. After all eggs have been added, add the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  6. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the bourbon. First, pour in half of the dry ingredients and beat for 30 seconds before adding half of the bourbon. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and remaining bourbon.
  7. Pour batter in the greased coated bundt cake pan. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place the wire rack on top of the bundt pan and flip it over. Gently tapping the sides to release the cake. You may want to put a piece of parchment paper or a plate over the cake before you flip it so you can easily move it off the wire rack without sticking. If the cake does not release, take a butter knife and gently insert along the edge of the pan to help release.
  9. For the glaze:
  10. Sift powered sugar. The step is necessary to create a smooth glaze.
  11. Melt butter in a saucepan. Once melted, continue to stir until butter turns a golden brown.
  12. Pour melted butter over powdered sugar. Add maple syrup and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  13. For a thicker glaze, add only 1 tablespoon of milk instead of two. Or add additional powered sugar. To make glaze thinner, add additional milk.
  14. This next step is optional and a little tricky. I like my glaze to drip off the sides of the cake and not pool up in the middle. However, it becomes difficult to move the cake once glazed. I happen to own a cake lift, but I suggest using two large knife to move the cake after glaze.
  15. Gently remove/side cake from plate and onto wire rack. Place a sheet of wax paper below wire rack (for easy clean up).
  16. Gently pour glaze over cake. Sprinkle with bacon pieces.

Cindy’s Pork Wellington

 Cindy's Pork Wellington
This was adapted from a variety of recipes - see links for original recipes below - and is definitely a work in progress, but a good start! I think it was a bit rich, and needed more herbs, etc. I didn't have a onion - amazingly enough - and I wasn't able to find my dried, minced onion, and I think that was really needed for the pate.

Instructions
  1. Remove frozen puff pastry to thaw - it takes about 40 minutes, at least the one I used.
  2. Remove pork from fridge, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400F.
  3. In a medium-high skillet, heat olive oil. Brown pork on each side, then remove from skillet and let rest and cool.
  4. Mix braunschweiger, cream cheese, onion powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Let cool in fridge.
  5. With one sheet of puff pastry, thaw per package directions and roll out on a sheet of parchment paper so that it is large enough to completely cover the pork roast. Lay the bacon slices on the rolled dough, so that the bacon also completely covers the roast.
  6. Spread the Braunschweiger mixture over the bacon. (I had originally cut slices in the roast and added some pate, bur I think that's too much, too rich). There will probably be extra - it's pretty good with crackers.
  7. Place the roast on top of the mixture, then use the parchment paper to help roll everything up. Tuck in the sides of the dough, and trim any excess. You can use the excess to cut fun little shapes to place on top as decoration. (I didn't have any left.) Cut slits lightly in the top of the dough but not going though the bacon.
  8. Use parchment paper to move the Wellington to a baking sheet, then put in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Recude heat to 350 and bake another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 135F for medium rare, 150F for medium. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving. Remember: meat will continue cooking for several minutes while it is resting, and resting is important!
  9. Slice and serve!

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. When water boils, add greens and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add greens and turn to coat well. Add broth - it should cover greens and let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Cook stuffing per package directions. Set aside.
  3. Butterfly pork loin roast and unroll, pound if needed so that it is evenly about 1/4" - 1/2" thick.
  4. Mix the chopped cherries and feta with the stuffing mix. Spread over inside of roast, leaving a small gap at the edges. Sprinkle the Gruyere evenly over the stuffing. Roll up the roast.
  5. Make a basket weave with the bacon. Lay the rolled roast on top of the bacon upside down, and fold the bacon over the roast. Flip right side up. Use toothpicks as necessary to keep the bacon in place.
  6. Bake for ~8 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and bake for 65 -75 minutes or until internal temperature is 145F. Remove from oven, let rest for at least 10 minutes.
  7. Can add 50g gruyere cheese to sprinkle on top of the stuffing mix before rolling and baking.
  8. Tried shredded smoked cheddar instead of feta, and started sat 400F for 20 min, then decreased to 350F for 75 minutes. Think 60 minutes would have been enough.
Recipe Notes

I ran out of cherries, didn't realize that until I started to put it together, so I'm trying it with raisins this time.  I also forgot the gruyere, damnit.  We'll see how it turns out this time! Also, I'm going to try starting at a higher temp to crisp the bacon blanket (hopefully) then reduce heat to 350 to finish cooking.  Wish me luck!  (5.30.18)

 

I swapped out the smoked cheddar for smoked gouda, and subbed cranberries for cherries.  Was really good!  I also gave it 15 minutes at 425F, then dropped it to 350F for 40 minutes.  Turned out pretty good!  I had a slightly smaller roast, only 19.4oz, so the shorter cooking time worked great, and actually could have been about 5 minutes less for that size.  Didn't add baby spinach leaves, but that might add some additional moistness, though it didn't really need it this time.   (10.1.19)

Instructions
  1. Heat skillet to medium-high, 375-400F. Cook bacon until crispy, then remove and set on a plate with a paper towel. Keep the bacon grease in the pan.
  2. Add cabbage to skillet and fry until soft and tender, but not burnt. Note: the moisture in the cabbage will gradually cook out, and deglaze the pan in the process, so you may notice some color from that. Depends on the skillet you use - I used a stainless skillet.
  3. Shortly before done, add black pepper. I do not recommend adding salt, as the bacon has enough, but if you used low-sodium bacon or just plain want more salt, knock yourself out!
