Crinkle Cake

Flavorful
Description

We’re always a tiny bit skeptical about trying out viral TikTok recipes, but this phyllo crinkle cake recipe from @RamenaSaidWow is worth the hype. We’ve added a few tweaks for personal preference, but it’s not far off from Ramena’s viral recipe.

Ingredients
  • 1 package (16 ounces, 2 rolls) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Fold two sheets of phyllo at a time, accordion-style; place into 13x9-in. baking pan. Repeat until all phyllo dough is used, gently fanning out the dough until pan is filled. Bake phyllo 10 minutes. Remove; sprinkle chopped walnuts within the folds of the phyllo dough. Drizzle melted butter evenly on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar and extracts until combined. Pour custard mixture over phyllo. Bake until phyllo is browned and crisp, about 35-40 minutes.
  3. In a microwave safe bowl, combine water, sugar and lemon juice. Microwave until mixture just begins to boil, about 3-4 minutes. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Drizzle simple syrup over warm cake. Let cool at room temperature before serving. Store in the refrigerator.

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

If you haven't made Chicken Parmesan in an air fryer yet, consider this your invitation to get started. This recipe yields crispy, juicy chicken and ultra-melty cheese, which pairs beautifully with the acidity of tomato sauce. Before the final cook in the air fryer, be sure to line the inside of the basket with aluminum foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking. As for serving? You can pair the chicken with a salad, such as a classic Caesar, or go for garlicky broccoli, Broccolini, or broccoli rabe.

Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish!
