  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x12-inch pan.
  2. 2 Make the cake: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl.
  3. 3 Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and noticeably lighter in color. Mix in one egg until fully incorporated; mix in remaining egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, beating until just incorporated after each addition. Pour into the prepared pan.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Wrap cooled cake with plastic wrap. Place onto your counter at room temperature to let firm up, 8 hours to overnight.
  6. 6 When ready to finish the lamingtons, make the icing: Place confectioners' sugar and cocoa into a mixing bowl. Mix in warm milk and melted butter until icing is fluid but not too runny.
  7. 7 Unwrap the cake and cut into 24 squares. Cover a work surface with parchment or waxed paper, then set a wire rack over top. Pour coconut into a shallow bowl.
  8. 8 Using a fork, dip each cake square into icing, turn until all sides are coated, then roll in coconut. Place onto the rack to dry.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Invert a small bowl onto the parchment paper and trace the rim with a pencil. Repeat twice more. Flip parchment paper over.
  2. 2 Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add white sugar, with the mixer running. Whisk superfine sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Gradually beat into the meringue. Continue beating meringue until stiff, glossy peaks form. Beat in orange blossom water and vinegar.
  3. 3 Spoon meringue into the traced circles. Make the borders higher than the center, to leave room for the filling.
  4. 4 Bake meringues in the preheated oven until firm and dry to the touch, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, make the lemon curd. Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring to a bare simmer.
  6. 6 Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, egg yolks, and salt together in a glass bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd foams, then thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the simmering water. Gradually whisk in coconut oil until melted and incorporated.
  7. 7 Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids left in the strainer. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator.
  8. 8 Turn off oven and keep meringues inside until completely dry, about 1 hour.
  9. 9 Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and orange blossom water in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. 10 Spoon lemon curd into the center of the cooled meringues. Mound whipped cream over the curd. Arrange grapefruit, orange, and persimmon slices on top. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Pour hot milk over butter; stir occasionally until butter melts. Whisk pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup white sugar, eggs, and egg yolk into milk mixture.
  2. 2 In separate bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. Using the paddle attachment, mix in about 4 cups of flour mixture on low speed. Scrape down sides of bowl and underneath paddle. Add remaining flour and mix, scraping down sides, on low speed until fully combined. Dough will be very wet, almost cookie-dough consistency; don't worry, it will absorb moisture as it sits.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap lightly coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  4. 4 Combine canned cranberry sauce with 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Break the sauce up slightly with a spoon. Heat, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberry sauce melts, about 25 minutes. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate.
  5. 5 Place chilled dough on well-floured work surface. Shape it into a ball, divide the dough in half, and return half the dough to the greased bowl. Cover with greased plastic wrap and refrigerate. Roll out remaining dough half, flouring surface as needed, to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out dough rounds with a 3-inch cutter.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. This will prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
  7. 7 Transfer dough rounds to prepared baking sheet in pairs (one will be the top half, the other the bottom half of the doughnut). Gather up remaining dough scraps and add them to the dough stored in the refrigerator.
  8. 8 Whisk egg white with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the rounds that will be the bottom halves of the doughnuts with the beaten egg white.
  9. 9 Spoon 1 teaspoon cranberry jelly into center of each bottom round; arrange second round on top and press edges to seal. Let doughnuts rest 20 minutes.
  10. 10 Working in batches, fry doughnuts until well browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Drain doughnuts on paper towels. Pour 1/2 cup white sugar into a bag or large bowl; toss doughnuts in sugar to coat. Dust doughnuts with confectioners' sugar before serving. Repeat with remaining dough.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
  2. 2 Whip egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
  3. 3 Place meringues in the preheated oven. Put a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way.
  4. 4 Bake until meringues are dry and can easily be removed from the pan, about 3 hours. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
