Mocha Walnut Torte #1 – We Love God!

My calling is sure. My challenge is big. My vision is clear. My desire is strong. My influence is eternal. My impact is critical. My values are solid. My faith is tough. My mission is urgent. My purpose is unmistakable. My direction is forward. My heart is genuine. My strength is supernatural. My reward is promised. And my God is real. I refuse to be dismayed, disengaged, disgruntled, discouraged, or distracted. Neither will I look back, stand back, fall back, go back or sit back. I do not need applause, flattery, adulation, prestige, stature or veneration. I have no time for business as usual, mediocre standards, small thinking, normal expectations, average results, ordinary ideas, petty disputes or low vision. I will not give up, give in, bail out, lie down, turn over, quit or surrender. I am a minister. That is what I do.

07:47:20 +0000 Preheat oven to 350 deg F.  To make walnut cake:  Coat
an 8-inch round cake pan with vegetable  spray, line bottom with waxed
paper, and spray again.  Dust lightly  with flour.  Place chocolate
chips in a small heavy saucepan, covered, over low  heat. Cook until
chocolate is soft enough to blend.  Remove saucepan  from heat and set
aside.  Combine walnuts, flour, and sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl.
Combine Lekvar, egg whites, vanilla and melted chocolate in a small
bowl and blend well.  Add chocolate mixture to dry ingredients and mix
with a fork until  blended. Spoon batter into prepared cake pan and
bake for 45 to 50  mins, or until cake tester inserted into center of
cake comes out  clean. Cover cake with waxed paper and cool on a cake
rack.  To make mocha glaze: Place chocolate, creamer, and coffee in a
small  heavy saucepan, covered, over low heat.  Cook until chocolate is
soft  enough to blend; mix until smooth.  When ready to assemble cake:
Set cake on an 8-inch cardboard round or  cake plate and place 3-inch
strips of waxed paper under edges of cake  (this will prevent glaze
from getting on clean plate).  Spread mocha  glaze on top and sides of
cake.  Remove waxed paper strips and  discard.  To decorate cake:
Reserve 1/4 cup glaze and spoon it into a small  pastry bag fitted with
a small star tip. Pipe 12 rosettes, equally  spaced, around top edges
of cake. Place a coffee bean on each rosette.  Nutritional Information
