Cooking instruction summary:

Devil's Chocolate CakeIn a small mixing bowl add the cocoa powder and pour the hot water over it. Stir until combined and leave it to cool slightly. Heat the oven to 350F. Line one 8 inch springform pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the cooled cocoa mixture. In another bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the cocoa butter alternately with the Greek yogurt. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, tap the sides to remove any air bubbles and bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Check the cake for doneness after the first 55-55 minutes, not early and avoid opening the oven door at least in the first 50 minutes. When the cake is done, leave it to cool for about 15 minutes in the pan before removing it. Leave to cool completely before slicing it in two layers. In a mixing bowl cream the butter and the cream cheese and light and fluffy. Slowly add the powder sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well before adding more. When all the sugar is added add the vanilla and increase the speed, mixing on medium to high for 2 minutes. If the frosting seem to be too thick add few drops of milk and mix well. With a spatula fold in the chopped peppermint bark. Spread 2/3 of the frosting on top of one layer of the chocolate cake, add the 2nd layer on top and spread the remaining cream cheese frosting. Decorate with the Christmas candy and candy cane as you like.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
