FAUX "FRIES" WITH RASPBERRY "KETCHUP˜ Recipe
These look just like french fries with ketchup but are really cake with raspberry sauce. Fun and delicious
Ingredients
- Pound Cake "Fries"
- 1 loaf pound cake (or more depending on how many "Fries" you want to make)
- 1 or more cardboard French fry container (ask politely and you shall receive)
- Raspberry "Ketchup"
- 1 12-oz bag frozen raspberries, thawed, or 2 cups of fresh raspberries
- 2 Tbsp. confectionery (powdered) sugar
- 1 empty catsup squeeze bottle
Directions
- Faux Fries: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Trim off a thin layer of the cakeâs brown exterior crust. Cut pound cake lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.
- Turn slices on their side and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Trim to 4 to 5 inches in length (if this sounds confusing, just remember, you are creating French fry-shaped strips).
- Arrange strips on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until browned on top and bottom. Turn strips and bake for approximately 4 more minutes, or until remaining two sides are browned. Let cool, then arrange in fries container.
- Raspberry "Ketchup": Place raspberries in a blender or food processor, and puree (add a few tablespoons of water, or lemon juice, if necessary, to facilitate blending).
- Add sugar, one teaspoon at a time, to taste until tartness is gone.
- Place raspberry puree in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Use a rubber spatula to force the puree through the strainer. Discard the seeds and transfer the puree to the squeeze bottle. Serve alongside "fries".
