Macarons with lemon buttercream and The Cooking Doctor’s Ultimate pastry set review

Please don't mind the mess on the mat! I dropped a few drops of egg white. I thought I wiped it clean but when they came out of the oven it had this very thin white crust ;-)

ORANGE CREAM POKE CAKE

1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix

3 large eggs

1 cup water

1/2 cup canola oil

1 cup boiling water

1 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free orange gelatin

1 cup cold water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease the bottom only of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Lightly dust with flour, shaking out excess; set aside.

In large mixer bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil on low until blended, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down sides. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and set pan on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. This will take about an hour.

Poke the cake all over with a fork or wooden skewer.

Pour the gelatin mix into a bowl and add the boiling water. Stir to dissolve gelatin; stir in the cold water. Pour the mixture over all the cake. Take a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen sides from the pan. Refrigerate cake for 2 hours.

FROSTING:

1 box (4-serving size) sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix

1 box (4-serving size) sugar-free orange gelatin

1 cup milk

2 tbsp orange juice

1 carton (8-oz) frozen whipped topping mix, thawed

In a large bowl, stir together the pudding mix, gelatin mix, milk, and orange juice until smooth; gently fold in the whipped topping until blended. Spread frosting over top of the cake and cut into squares. Garnish squares with additional whipped topping and thin orange slices, if desired.

Keep cake stored in the refrigerator.

1/8tsp 盐

40g 低筋面粉

25g 无盐奶油

100g 美国大杏仁片

5. 封上保鲜膜放置到冰箱醒置30分钟。

6. 醒好的面糊从冰箱取出，用大汤匙舀起间隔整齐的排在不沾 烤布（纸）上（间隔要稍微大一点，因为还必须将面糊抹平 ）。

7. 用手沾清水，将面糊推平成为一个大薄片。厚薄尽量均匀， 烤色才会平均（手沾一些清水才方便操作）。

8. 放进已经预热至150℃的烤箱中烘烤12分钟，开始上色 后就将温度调整为130℃，再烘烤6~7分钟至颜色均匀 即可（请依照自己的烤箱温度为准，用低温将瓦片烘烤至金 黄即可）。
