{12} Coke Cake -Cracker Barrel Style, submitted by Harold in New York
Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup cola, beverage
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
First Frosting:
7 ounces marshmallow cream
Second Frosting
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
9 tablespoons cola, this should be the remaining cola left in a 12oz can
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups confectioners' sugar
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
Combine flour, granulated sugar and baking soda in mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola beverage to boiling. (whisk together as it melts).
Pour over the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. I just use a whisk for this because it comes together so easily.
Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Pour into prepared 9 x 13" pan.
Bake for 40 minutes.
During last 10 minutes of baking prepare frosting.
Prepare Second Frosting:.
Place 5 cups confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 9 tablespoons cola beverage. Whisk together. Heat to boiling.
Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour over 4 cups confectioners' sugar.
Mix well with a whisk.
Assembly:.
Remove cake from oven.
Immediately frost with marshmallow cream. Go slow. This will prevent tearing the cake. As the fluff warms a bit it will spread easily.
Slowly pour warm coco-cola frosting over marshmallow fluff.
It's best to let this cake cool for about an hour before cutting into it.

4 Tbsp well chilled unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 large egg
1/4 whipping cream

Fold in the currents.
On a floured surface, lightly pat the dough into 2 circles, each about 7 inches in diameter. Cut each circle into 6 even pieces.
Place the scones on a buttered baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle them with the optional sugar, if desired.
Bake about 15 minutes, or until the scones are puffed, golden, and cooked through.

{16} Cevapcici Slovenian version, submitted by Pat, pplummer@carolina.rr.com
1 pound ground lamb
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. paprika==sweet
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. sparkling water with lime
Mix all the above ingredients lightly. Refrigerate for a half hour to allow flavors to meld. Form into 12 small sausage shapes, about 3/4" by 3".
Grill until nicely charred, but do not allow them to get a hard crust.
This makes for difficult eating.
A Le Creuset stove top grill pan, which worked beautifully.
Serve with the traditional sides: Raw chopped onion, a red pepper relish called ajvar (AY-var),(check out Fresh Market or Whole Foods) thickened yogurt (Greek Plain works fine), and flat white bread such as pita.
Note--I had this almost two weeks ago in Ljubljana. The notes about cooking come from the fact that the version I had was like eating stale bread sticks, they were so hard. Enjoy!
