SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance,
basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the fol-
lowing:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not put the hand mixer
or cord in water or other liquid.
If hand mixer or cord falls into
liquid, unplug the cord from outlet
immediately. Do not reach into
the liquid.
3. To avoid possible accidental injury,
close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in
use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well
as spatulas and other utensils

to persons, and/or damage to
the mixer.
6. Remove beaters from the mixer
before washing.

accidentally pulled off work area,
which could result in damage to

powder in the half-and-half; reserve.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a
9x3-inch springform or cheesecake
pan with cooking spray.
Place the butter and 1⁄4cup of the
sugar in a medium bowl. Mix on
Speed 2 to cream, 11⁄2minutes. Add
flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking pow-
der, and salt; mix on Speed 1 until
combined, 30 seconds. Add egg yolk
and mix on Speed 1 until crumbly, 15
seconds. Press into bottom of pre-
pared pan. Bake in preheated oven for
10 minutes, until slightly puffed (crust
may have cracked appearance – that
is normal). Place on a rack to cool.
When the pan is cool to touch, wrap
a sheet of aluminum foil around the
bottom and sides of the pan so that it
comes up at least 2 inches.
Place cream cheeses and sugar in a
large mixing bowl. Beat on Speed 1
until combined and smooth, 2 min-
utes. Using Speed 1, add eggs, one
at a time, mixing for 15 seconds after
each addition. Scrape the bowl. Add
cornstarch; mix on Speed 1 for 20
seconds. Scrape the bowl. Add half-
and-half mixture and vanilla, mix on
Speed 1 until smooth and completely
combined.
Pour the mixture over the cooled
crust. Place the pan in a larger alumi-
num pan and place in the oven; add
enough hot water to the outer pan
so that it is 1⁄2-inch deep. Bake in the
preheated 350°F oven for 60 to 70
minutes, until the cheesecake is pull-
ing away from the sides of the pan;
the center will be jiggly. Remove from
the oven, remove the foil and let cool
completely on a rack.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before
serving. Garnish with chocolate curls
if desired.

Makes 16 to 20 servings
7 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
11⁄2cups granulated sugar, divided
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour *
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄4teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon
zest
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange
zest
3⁄4cup fresh orange juice
1⁄2cup flavorless vegetable oil (or use a
nut oil such as almond or walnut)
11⁄2teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
powdered sugar for dusting, or
Orange Apricot Glaze
Preheat oven to 325°F. Have ready a
10-inch angel food or tube pan
(preferably one that is one piece).
Place the egg whites in a large,
clean stainless or glass mixing bowl.
Using Speed 3, whip egg whites until
frothy and foamy, about 30 seconds,
then add lemon juice. Continue to
whip until thick and opaque, about 3
minutes, adding 1⁄2cup of the sugar
gradually to the egg whites. Continue
to whip until stiff and glossy, about 7
minutes total. Reserve.
Place the remaining 1 cup of the
sugar, the flour, baking powder, and
salt in a large mixing bowl. Insert mix-
ing beaters. Mix on Speed 1 to blend
and aerate, 10 seconds. Place the egg
yolks, zests, juice, oil, and extracts in
a medium bowl. Mix on Speed 2 for
30 seconds; scrape the bowl. Make
a well in the center of the dry ingre-
dients. Add the liquid/yolk mixture
and mix using Speed 2 until batter is
smooth, about 1 minute.
Stir 1 cup of the egg whites into the
batter using a spatula, then gently fold
the remaining egg whites into the
batter one third at a time. Gently
spoon into the prepared pan and bake
in the preheated oven for 60 minutes,
until a cake tester comes out clean
when tested. Invert the pan immedi-
ately onto a wire rack and let the cake
cool completely in the pan upside
down on the rack. This will take about
21⁄2to 3 hours.
Run a long thin knife around the
outer and tube edges of the pan and
turn the cake out of the pan onto
the rack. Use a long wooden skewer
to loosen the cake from the center
tube. Remove cake from pan. Wrap in
plastic wrap and store at room tem-
perature for up to 2 days or refrigerate
up to 4 days. (Cake may be also be
double-wrapped and frozen – thaw
before serving.)
Dust with powdered sugar before
serving – serve with a drizzle of the
Orange Apricot Glaze.

3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
4–6 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
3⁄4cup whole milk
1⁄2cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1⁄2cup (1⁄4ounce) chopped fresh chives
1⁄4teaspoon freshly ground white or

Peel the potatoes and cut into 3⁄4-inch-
thick slices. Place the potatoes, garlic,
1 teaspoon kosher salt, and wine
vinegar in a 33⁄4quart saucepan* and
cover with cold water by 1 inch. Cover
loosely and bring to the boil over high
heat, then reduce heat to medium
high and boil gently until potatoes are
tender but not falling apart, about
18 to 22 minutes. While potatoes are
cooking, combine milk, half-and-half,
butter, and 1⁄4cup of the chives in
a Cuisinart®11⁄2–quart saucepan.
Simmer over low heat until butter is
completely melted. Keep warm.
Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic,
return to the saucepan, and place
over low heat for 1 minute. Remove

mash the potatoes and garlic until
somewhat smooth, about 60 seconds.
While still mixing, add the hot milk
and butter mixture, and mix until well
blended, about 30 seconds. Mix on
Speed 3 until fluffy, about 1 to 2 min-
utes. Add the remaining salt and pep-
per, mix to blend, 15 seconds. Scrape

Twice-Baked Potatoes with

Makes 8 servings
8 large (about 10 ounces each) baking
potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup evaporated fat-free milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room
temperature, cut in 4 pieces
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen

6 green onions, finely chopped
(include some of the green)
3⁄4teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2teaspoon freshly ground white or

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce
each potato several times with a fork
or knife tip; rub each potato with 1⁄4
teaspoon of the olive oil. Bake the
potatoes in the preheated oven until
fork tender, about 1 hour. When cool
enough to handle, cut off the top
third of each potato and scoop out
the flesh, leaving a 1⁄4-inch shell. Place
potato flesh in large mixing bowl and
reserve potato shells.
Add milk and butter to potatoes.
Mix on Speed 1 for 1 minute until
mashed; mix on Speed 2 for one
minute longer. Add spinach, cheese,
green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix on
Speed 1 until well blended.
Fill the reserved potato shells with the
potato-spinach mixture. Potatoes may
be made ahead to this point, covered
and refrigerated until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange the
potatoes on a jelly roll type pan that
has been lined with parchment. Bake
uncovered until potatoes are hot and
tops are golden brown, about 25 to 30
minutes (add 5 to 10 minutes for cold
potatoes). Serve hot.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the
store where it was purchased or (B) to another
retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the
same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either
repair the product, refer the consumer to an
independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior
usage of the product. If the above two options
do not result in the appropriate relief to the con-
sumer, the consumer may then take the product
to an independent repair facility if service or
repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be respon-
sible for the reasonable cost of such service,
repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their
preference, return nonconforming products
directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
