cava harissa chicken

Cava honey harissa chicken marinade: 1 10oz can harissa paste 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp avocado oil Juice of 1 lemon (or more if you’re feeling ✨zesty✨) 4-5 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp oregano 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tsp cumin Salt & pepper to taste (you want it on the saltier side!) Whisk to combine Marinate the chicken in gallon bags. I just put in a spoonful at a time until the pieces are completely covered with a thin layer of marinade. I like to cook the chicken until it’s 90% of the way done, chop into small cubes once cooled (or pulled from the fridge if stored for later), then finish in the pan with a drizzle of honey.

CAKE BATTER: 1 cup butter 1 ⅔ cup sugar 3 eggs 3 yolks and whites separated ½ lime zest ¼ cup squeezed orange juice (about 1 orange) 1 tbsp domincan white vanilla extract 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 1 cup evaporated milk guava paste FOR MERINGUE: 1 ½ cup sugar ½ cup water 1 egg white 1 tsp Dominican vanilla extract DIRECTIONS: 1) Mix 2 cups of softened butter and 1 ⅔ cups sugar until mixture is fluffy and very pale in color (about 7 min) 2) Add in 3 eggs and 3 egg yolks gradually, with ½ lime zest, and 1 tbsp of Dominican white vanilla 3) Add in sifted flour, baking soda, and salt mixture until well combined. Then add 1 cup of evaporated milk, and a ¼ cup or orange juice. Mix until fully combined. 4) Pour batter into two 9” cake pans and bake at 350 for 25-28 minutes. Remove from oven and let completely cool for 1 hour. 5) To make meringue icing start by simmering 1 ½ cup sugar and a ¼ cup water on medium low heat until temp reaches 275 F. This takes about 10-12 minutes. Texture will have lots of bubbles, turn clear, and be thick. 6) Whisk 4 egg whites on high speed until they form stiff peaks. When the sugar and water mixture is ready, immediately pour slowly into the egg whites, while beating on high speed. Then add 1 tsp of Dominican vanilla. Keep beating until the mix turns glossy and very fluffy. 7) To ice the cake, use the bottoms as the top so it’s perfectly flat. Adhere cake layers together with a ring of meringue on the edges and guava pasta added in the center. Then ice the outside and decorate however you’d like and enjoyyy :))
