Pecan Pie Cake. Three layers of tender, delectable, vanilla cake sandwiched between layers of pecan pie filling, then topped with a lovely caramel glaze.

This was the dessert I made for Father's Day - a riff on apple crisp and pie, tucked into crisp and buttery phyllo dough. The original idea for this came from somehow finding two boxes of phyllo dough in the freezer but not having enough time to make baklava. My dad loves apple crisp and apple pie so I wanted to do a more summery version of it - there's very little sugar here, no cinnamon (a typically fall and winter spice, although my favorite) and I added the apricots to keep things fresh and different. Phyllo dough isn't hard to work with at all, just make sure to keep it covered with a damp paper towel or even just a piece of wax paper when you have it out on the counter and you'll be fine. If the edges start to crisp up a little, just brush with a little water or some of the butter mixture you're using in between the layers of the pastry. I found the recipe for the crunch/crisp while searching for inspiration on a site that happened to have the measurements in grams and ounces and if you don't have a kitchen scale, GET ONE! I find that using grams and ounces is actually easier (not to mention more accurate) than using cups, you don't have to wash every single little individual measuring cup, you just tare and weigh everything into one bowl! Kitchen scales are inexpensive and absolutely necessary for baking. Ginger-Honeyed Apple and Apricot Phyllo Crunch Pie Crunch/Crisp: Adapted from this site 54g light brown sugar 50g granulated sugar 105g all-purpose flour 21g quick-cooking oatmeal 35g toasted walnuts, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 stick/4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and have a cookie sheet next to you. Measure all the ingredients except for the butter into a medium-sized bowl and mix them together. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingertips until the butter resembles small peas. Dump this mixture onto the cookie sheet and pack everything together lightly. Bake until golden brown around the edges and on top, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool completely, then break into small pieces and set aside. Ginger-Honeyed Apples and Apricots: 4 large baking apples (I used Empire), peeled, cored and cut into large chunks 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 3 tablespoons honey Pinch of kosher salt 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1/2 cup dried apricots, cut into slivers Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes before adding the apples, brown sugar, honey, and salt. Don't stir the apples right away, let them get a nice browned exterior on one side and then after about 2-3 minutes, turn them to get the other sides caramelized as well. Once the apples are cooked down, add in the ginger and dried apricots, remove from the heat and let cool. For assembly: 8-12 sheets of phyllo dough About 8 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil, or a combination of the two Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9" tart (or pie) pan and begin layering the phyllo dough into the pan. Gently press the sheets of dough onto the bottom and brush each layer with some of the melted butter and oil on top of each before placing the next one on top. Use about 4 or 5 layers going one way (the long or short way), then 4 or 5 layers going the other way. Crumble some of the crunch into the bottom of the layers, then scrape the apple mixture over, then more of the crunch. Gather the phyllo dough from around the edges of the pan and scrunch them on top. Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, until it's golden brown. I used the rest of the crunch and crumbled it on top halfway through the baking time for a decorative touch. Let the pie cool slightly, then dig in!

Thanks to Wikipedia, I have found that the Swiss Pastry Shop's version of Black Forest Cake, which is comprised of layers of almond meringue and whipped cream topped with shaved dark chocolate is REAL. It is called Schwarzwaldtarta. Wikipedia states: "A Swedish cake called Schwarzwaldtårta is related to the traditional Black Forest cake only by name. It consists of layers of meringue with whipped cream in between. The whole cake is also covered with whipped cream and decorated with chocolate." So there, it is a real cake from Switzerland Sweden (Thanks! I make mistakes.) I've been eating this cake with my family since I was a child and I love it. It is delicious - the best cake ever. The only problem is that the only place that makes it is The Swiss Pastry Shop in Fort Worth. And I don't live in Texas anymore. After looking around on the internet for recipes, I found one, and I tried to follow it. It called for using unflavored gelatin to stabilize the whipped cream. I followed the instructions for the gelatin, dissolving it in water: And it smelled terrible. Like a wet dog. So I threw it out - I was really afraid of ruining my whipped cream, so... I decided just to do it my own way. And I was successful - my end result brought me right back to Fort Worth, Texas - which was exactly my goal. Here's how to make the Swiss Pastry Shop's Black Forest Cake in 7 somewhat easy steps! 1. Make 3 layers of Almond Meringue. One meringue recipe should yield 3 layers. 2.Beat 3 c. of whipping cream with 6 T confectioner's sugar. Confectioner's sugar contains cornstarch and will help to stabilize the whipped cream.You could also use gelatin - at your own risk! 3. Layer the meringue and whipped cream in alternating layers, starting with almond meringue and ending with whipped cream. Cover the sides of the cake with whipped cream as well. 4. Gather some beautiful dark chocolate and grate it. Icing Spatulas 5. Sprinkle the grated chocolate over the top layer of whipped cream. 6. Attempt to cover the sides of the cake with chocolate sprinkles. 7. Slice and enjoy!
