MR. MORRIS' SALSA CAKE
Found this interesting cake recipe this weekend in an equally interesting cookbook called Morning Fires, Evening Lights published by the Marlboro folks. Yes, those Marlboro folks. I appreciate a creative culinary experiment and this is it. Have not tested the recipe-yet. (Tomatoes are a fruit after all!) Let's Salsa?

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender.
- Add the salsa, beating 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Next beat in the eggs and water, beating another 3 minutes.
- Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or one large bundt pan. Line the pan(s) with parchment paper.
- Pour in batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Note that the cake may take longer to cook if baked in a bundt pan.
- In the meantime, prepare the cream cheese frosting.
- Beat all ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
- Cool cake on wire rack then frost with cream cheese frosting.
- Pat yourself on the back for being adventurous.
- Parting Words: "And somewhere, later on, ranch kitchens, cabins and range camps will fill with people and easy conversation (and Cookgirl adds that these various venues will also fill with people coughing, heavy clouds of cigarette smoke; the smoke detector alarms will be set off -- ) Because THIS is Marlboro Country.".

Steps:
- Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
- Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.
SALSA CORN CAKES
This recipe is super with fresh or canned corn. I whip up these patties to serve alongside nachos or tacos on hot summer evenings. The salsa is subtle but adds flavor. -Lisa Boettcher, Rosebush, Michigan
