Baked Sunday Mornings: Sweet & Salty Brownies
I can’t believe it’s May 17, 2020. After more than 7½ years, today is my very last Baked Sunday Mornings post ever. I am in disbelief that I joined this group in 2012 and have baked through 3½ cookbooks with this wonderful group. It’s hard to put into words how meaningful BAKED in Brooklyn has […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
It’s sort of blowing my mind how quickly the weeks in quarantine fly by and blend together. I generally feel that way in busy normal times anyway, but it feels like extra warp-speed right now. For months I’ve known that Baked Sunday Mornings is coming to an end, but there were still months and several […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart
I feel like a broken record when I say, “I can’t believe I’ve never baked [x]” from one of the BAKED cookbooks. I’ve been baking out of them for so many years that it would be a reasonable assumption to assume I had made pretty much everything. But actually there are a number of recipes […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Flourless Chocolate Cake
Normally I would advocate for throwing flour into my cake batter (kind of a no-brainer, right?), but in the right ratios, the magical combination of chocolate, eggs, sugar, and butter can magically transform into a rich, decadent, and elegant dessert without flour. It’s perfect that this was our Baked Sunday Mornings recipe this week because it’s also the […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: S’more Nut Bars
I take my s’mores very seriously. Today it became apparent that maybe I need to take it down a notch, seeing as how I almost set a fire in my living room… yeahhh. See, we all know that “s’mores” is a very specific combination of ingredients: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow. But not just any […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Granita
Please pardon this interruption of my regularly scheduled hamantashen posting. I’m pausing to bring you… a little sliver of Italian summer. Among our very last recipes for Baked Sunday Mornings is Almond Granita from BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, which is not a recipe I would have made on my own. As I’ve said countless times, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Root Beer Bundt Cake
OK, I’m going to tell you something, and you’re either not going to believe me, or you’re going to think I’m a freaking weirdo: I’ve never had root beer before. Along with late entry into peanut butter and jelly, burgers, and bacon, chuck it up to an immigrant childhood, where I just didn’t have a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts
Finally– the cover shot. We are so close to the end of baking through BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, and therefore the end of Baked Sunday Mornings. (So many tears!!) And finally we are making the iconic cover recipe: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts! I’ve never made this recipe, as I have a profound disdain for any almond […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Coconut Snowball Cupcakes
Alllll the coconut. Give it to me. Is it possible to fall more in love with coconut over time? Because did I mention… I want all the coconut things. I’m not really sure where this desire came from (as I’ve mentioned before, I grew up thinking I didn’t like it– pffff), but I’m so glad […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Chip-Orange Panettone
Happy Holidays, friends! I hope you’re enjoying warm company, relaxy times, and lots of yummy treats this week. 🙂 The thing I love most about baking, besides cramming delicious foodstuffs in my cake hole (duhhh), is that it never ceases to amaze me. There is never an end to the learning and trying and tweaking […]
