German Chocolate Cheesecake

1 pkg GF chocolate cake mix or chocolate cake recipe

2 pkg (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Frosting:
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
½ cup butter, cubed
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Prepare cake batter according to package directions, set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, beat on low speed just until combined.

Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Gently pour cream cheese mixture over batter. Gently spoon remaining batter over top: spread to edge of pan.

Bake at 325 for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate.

For frosting, combine sugar, milk butter and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened and a thermometer reads 200. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla; fold in coconut and pecans. Cool until frosting reaches spreading consistency. Frost cooled cake. Refrigerate leftovers.

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup oil

Combine the buttermilk and baking soda and set aside. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. Lastly, add the buttermilk mixture. It will be very runny.

Bake at 350 in a greased 9x13 pan for 30 - 35 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake is pulling away from the pan). Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

GF flour mix*

½ tsp salt

½ tsp xanthan gum

3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco

½ cup granulated sugar

3 eggs whites

1 tsp vanilla

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum three times. Set aside. Cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs and flavorings until light and fluffy. Add flour to egg mixture in 2/3 portions, mixing until smooth each time. Roll out to 1/8 " thick on a piece of floured wax paper. Cut as desired. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 325º for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. I use air cookie sheets. Makes about 36 cookies.

Gingersnaps

2 ½ cups GF Flour

¼ cup sweet rice flour

2 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 tsp Ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp cloves

¼ tsp allspice

3/4 tsp xanthan gum

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup molasses

1 egg

granulated sugar for rolling

Sift together dry ingredients, set aside. Cream shortening, brown sugar, molasses, and egg until fluffy. Stir dry ingredients into molasses mixture. Form into small balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar: place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. (don't flatten cookies). Bake at 375º for 12 min. I use air cookie sheets to keep the cookies softer.

Lace Cookies

2 ¼ cups oatmeal

2 ¼ cups lite brown sugar

3 T Gluten Free Flour

1 cup melted butter

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix in a bowl oatmeal, brown sugar, and flour. Stir in melted butter. Add egg and vanilla. Blend well, then place ½ teaspoonful of the blend on sheet pan at least 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. When slightly cooled removed from sheet pan.

Makes up to 80 small cookies.

If making "Lace Cups" place 3 large clumps of dough on each sheet.

When still pliable & fairly warm remove from sheet pan and place over an overturned juice glass and mold with hands. Remove when cooled. Makes about 12-14 cups.

Pie Crust

Spice up your favorite Pumpkin Pie or any favorite pie with this incredible pie crust.

2/3 cup Gluten Free Oats ground for 30 seconds in a food processor

2/3 cup Domata GFCF Flour

3 T Brown Sugar, frimly packed

¾ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

6 T cold unsalted butter, cut into

small cubes

3 to 4 T of cold milk or half and half (may use milk substitute if needed)

To make the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oats, flours, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes, and work it into the dry ingredients (using your fingers, a pastry blender or fork, or a mixer) until the dough is unevenly crumbly. Sprinkle in the milk, continuing to mix until the dough is cohesive. Grab a handful; if it holds together willingly, and doesn't seem at all dry or crumbly, you've added enough liquid.

Shape the dough into a disk. Roll its edges along a floured work surface (as though the disk were a wheel), in order to smooth them out. Pat the disk till it's about 1" thick, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 3 days.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Allow it to warm a bit and become flexible, 15 to 30 minutes. Flour your work surface, and roll the dough into a 12" circle. It may crack a bit around the edge; that's OK. Just patch the crust once it's in the pan. Transfer the dough to a regular (not deep-dish) 9" pie pan that's at least 1 ¼" deep. Trim and crimp the edges, making a tall crimp. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
