Baked Sunday Mornings: Sweet & Salty Cake
Wow, it’s been a minute. In the six years that I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve never taken a hiatus of more than a couple of weeks (I think?), but it has been a doozy of a few months. I mentioned in my last post that I just moved halfway around the world to Tel Aviv, […]
Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cake
If you know anything about Passover desserts, you know that they can be a challenge and we often have to compromise to uphold the rules of being Kosher For Passover. So imagine my delight when I came across an amazing (and beautiful) dessert last year from Bon Appétit that yielded a flourless chocolate cake so decadent and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Hot Chocolate Pudding Cake
What. The. Effff… is what I thought when I was putting together this cake batter. Never before had I stared down so confusedly at a cake pan, wondering how the batter in front of me was supposed to bake into a cake. And yet, magically it sure did. If I were naming this bastion of […]
Classic Passover Decadence: Flourless Chocolate Cake
Chocolate. Butter. Eggs. Sugar. That is all you need to make this wickedly dark and decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake. I don’t think that much about flourless chocolate cake when it isn’t Passover (I know, I need to get my priorities straight), but during this week when the only bread product allowed is literally known as […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Hippie Cake
In the world of chocolate cake, there are those that make you want to weep tears of joy and ecstasy, and others that try really hard, but lack something in flavor or texture. This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe for Hippie Cake from Baked Occasions fell into the latter category for me. This vegan chocolate cake was created […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: St. Patrick’s Drunk Bundt Cake
As I’ve talked about before (here and here), I have always been thoroughly enamored with all things Irish. I adore the names, language, music, accent, and that unique Irish beauty; the misty, romantic melancholy of it all. I feel a certain connection to Ireland, though I don’t possess a drop of Irish blood– I’ve even worn an emerald […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Black Cocoa Bundt Cake with Butter Whiskey Glaze
While I don’t have a lot of warm, fuzzy Dad memories, I need absolutely zero excuses to make an ultra-chocolaty cake, particularly one with black cocoa in it. It’s a day that ends in “-day”? Sounds like a GREAT reason to make cake! I got out of bed today? Let me just grab the flour. This week for Baked […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Wintermint Cake
Gone are the days that I used to dread making layer cakes. When a layer cake would come up on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule, I used to feel a mixture of elation, anxiety, and mortal fear; but thankfully the latter two have eroded as my experience with BAKED‘s cakes and frostings has yielded more successes than failures in recent […]
Under Cover of Darkness: Ovenly’s Brooklyn Blackout Cake
I had never heard of Ovenly until Amazon “recommended” their new cookbook back in September based on my previous purchases. One could certainly say that I have a love affair with certain Brooklyn baking establishments (see here, here, and here), so I was immediately intrigued. With a trip to New York looming (last month), I decided that […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Devil Dogs with Malted Buttercream Filling
I had such a sheltered childhood. As an immigrant child, I did not experience some of the classic American treats that most of my peers knew and loved. Things like peanut butter and jelly and milkshakes were foreign to me, and I stayed wary and suspicious of these unfamiliar delicacies until I grew old enough […]
