    Well, I thought I had every pan in existence, but you’ve proved me wrong! The Maryann pan is a new one on me. And what a great looking cake you made in that fabulous pan! Perfect for a summer dessert and such a pretty presentation.
    Glad you found the walnut snack cake recipe….you can also thank Cathy at Noble Pig, which is where I found the recipe.
    Thanks for visiting!

      I think the génoise has so many possibilities and the pan makes a pretty presentation. Thanks again for the walnut cake. I will check out Noble Pig and thank Cathy. Thanks for stopping by Barbara.

    I think all of us cooks have a pan issue! Pots and pans as well. I did some cleaning out recently, just a few things that were never used, especially since going a few GF years ago. Less baking these days. I’ve been tempted many times to get a Maryann cake pan, but have resisted. I learned to make Genoise the old fashioned way in a half sheet pan. Makes me want to try to bake one GF. The cake I really love that depends on egg whites it an angel food cake. Lovely post!

      Sally, I would love if you would make a GF génoise for us. I would love to learn from you.

      Years ago I made angel food from a box in a sheet pan and rolled it up with berries and cream. I don’t use box cakes any more, but I would like to give my old version a try, but from scratch. I bake a scratch angel food with chocolate frosting for my niece for her birthday every year – her favorite.

    Well, I wish I could come to your party and enjoy a piece of your cake, Madonna! I’d be in heaven with the mascarpone filling and the strawberries on top. Ooh to be your neighbor, would be a delight!
    You’re too funny in painting a picture of your kids backing up a truck to haul out your kitchen gear. I’m sure that some of them will love inheriting your wonderful equipment. I’m hoping that someone will enjoy some of my teacups one day, and my cookbooks, my All Clad cookware, etc., etc.!!

      Ha Kitty, I hope they know Le Crueset. On second thought, maybe I need to talk to them. 🙂

      The cake is a nice vessel for any filling you can think of.

      I always enjoy you stopping by.

    Thank you for all the professional tips. I have very little patience which is not good for a baker! Your creation is simply stunning! The cake looks like heaven, I can almost [I wish!] taste it 🙂

      Jenna, I am an anxious cook/baker. It has helped me to weigh my ingredients, that way I know I am precise, and I try to just keep trying and that seems to pay off for me. Oh, and when I have failures I try not to take it so personally.

      Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Great tip for making superfine sugar! And what a fun looking pan — I’m not familiar with that. This recipe is a delight — thanks so much.

      Hi John,

      You do not need this cake pan to make the cake, but it does hold the fruit and mascarpone well. You can make the cake in a regular cake pan or a half-sheet to make a jellyroll type cake.

      Thanks for stopping by.

    My mom used to have a similar pan but I haven’t seen it in years. Thanks for the great tips about making a light batter. I like your addition of strawberry jam before you filled the cake. Lovely dessert!

      You can also make this in a sheet pan and roll it up with goodies inside.

      Thanks for stopping by Cathy.

    Your post about your kids had me chuckling. My husband and I talk all the time about our children getting rid of all of our treasures…wondering why we even kept what they will never want. 🙂 I’m sure all your friends eagerly await an invitation to a party knowing you are serving something this pretty and delicious.

    My daughter is kind of a neatnik, but I am going to haunt her if she doesn’t recognize my Le Crueset or my Kitchenaid. In truth, I would not have appreciated these things when I was younger because I was tooooo busy. It is only now that I realize if I would have had good equipment it would have saved me time. As for my son, if it does not have a horseshoe attached there is not much use for it. 🙂 Youth is wasted on the young. 🙂

      I would not tell anyone to buy this pan specifically, but I am so happy I did because it really does the work for me.

      Thanks for stopping by Monique. I love your input.
