Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

½ cup King Arthur Coconut Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup sugar
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan.
Sift coconut flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
Combine cocoa powder and butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30- to 60-second increments, stirring often, until butter melts and mixture is well blended.
Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt to butter mixture; whisk until well combined. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan and let rest for 10 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack until completely cool, 30 to 45 minutes. Cut into 16 pieces.

Tips

For a loaf cake, use an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The cake is easiest to slice when completely cool.

Charred Spiced Pears with Smoky Vanilla-Cherry Sauce

Toasted vanilla meets torched ripe pears in these charred spiced pears with smoky vanilla-cherry sauce, a subtly sweet finisher. Use a vanilla bean that’s moist and pliable—if it’s too dry, it will ignite when you torch it. Use pears at peak ripeness; the juices will help the brown sugar adhere.

Texan Peach Salsa

In this world-class salsa, Texas peaches are combined with tomatoes, Hungarian wax peppers, yellow jalapenos, and spices.

Hummus III

Hummus is a pureed garbanzo bean dip with Middle Eastern origins. Serve with pita and an assortment of fresh vegetables. This is the secret combination straight from a Boston restaurant. Tahini, or sesame seed paste, can be found in health food stores, gourmet shops and even many grocery stores.

Deer Bologna

Homemade deer bologna transforms ground venison into a rich, spicy-smoky, savory treat. Thinly slice for sandwiches, serve it as part of a charcuterie board, or enjoy by itself.

Kalbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs)

Kalbi is a staple of Korean fine dining but is too expensive in restaurants. It is simple to make at home with beef short ribs and a sweet and savory sesame and soy sauce marinade. It's traditionally served sliced, rolled in romaine lettuce leaves with white rice, lightly browned garlic slices, and gochujang (Korean red pepper paste). Sure to leave your guests asking for more!
