What do you usually do for your Easter dinner?
Everybody is coming to our house for dinner; there will be ten of us. I'm making stuffed ham (ham stuffed with a cornbread stuffing), scalloped potatoes, sagaponek corn pudding (from Ina Garten), red beet pickled eggs, sauteed green beans with shallots (another Ina recipe), garlic parmesan yeast rolls, mandarin orange and pecan salad, and for dessert a sugar-free strawberry pie and a cake. My sister is bringing both red and white wines (and her wine glasses; I really need to get new wine glasses).
I saw on a blog about a 12-layer cake and I'm intrigued. It looks pretty much like a torte with the 12 thin layers and chocolate between them. Since my niece loves both chocolate and peanut butter (and it's her birthday), I'm going to go ahead and fill the vanilla layers with the chocolate frosting. But then I'm going to make my whipped peanut butter frosting and use that to frost the outside of the cake. I'm hoping it will be good.....I've never done that kind of a cake before; the most layers I've done is 3.
What do you do for your Easter dinner? Anything special??
