We had an extra dessert (sorry, no pic) for Mother’s Day, a “Redwood Inn cake”. The Redwood Inn was a bitty place near the stables. The inn was in the ‘country’ of the Oakland, California hills. It had a well packed bar, a buffet and nice steaks. The patrons were equestrians, grooms-people and jolly regulars who appreciated a good cocktail and conversation.
This dessert was what some call a ‘dump cake’. Crushed pineapple on the bottom, yellow cake mix dumped over the top, topped with sliced almonds and drizzled with melted butter and then bake until bubbly and the almonds were golden brown. It was served with (I think) unsweetened real whipped cream and a sprinkle of sliced toasted almonds. It is very, very sweet.

Ty, I do all sorts of versions, pistachio, passionfruit…anything that I can flavor the crème patisserie, and of course, plain vanilla.

Pistachio-chocolate cookies, which I augmented with some Italian pistachio cream in the middle of the cookie dough ball. Soft and chewy, and pretty good, although not as pistachioey as I had hoped.

But the pistachio cream on its own? Pure freaking heaven!
