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: Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie

Summer weekends are for eating frozen things, preferably involving chocolate. And if those frozen chocolate things happen to be slathered in fudge and whipped cream, ALL THE BETTER. Our last recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings was in honor of National Dog Day; this week we are celebrating Grandparents’ Day with Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie from […]
Decadence, Squared: The Peanut Butter Confections Formerly Known as Nutter Butters by Dana Cree

I’ve been waiting all summer for this. I try to post a mixture of Baked Sunday Mornings recipes, travel blogs, and non-BSM recipes, but it was a particularly busy summer with travel and moving, so nothing but BSM got done… Contrary to popular belief, I do actually bake stuff out of books other than the BAKED quartet, […]
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: Easy Candy Bar Tart

I daresay, there are relatively few problems that cannot be solved by the ever-pleasing combination of chocolate and caramel. (In the first world, anyway.) Whether celebrating a joyous occasion, lamenting heartbreak, seeking an afternoon pick-me-up, or simply craving that timeless sugary duo, it generally seems to serve the desired purpose. As a kid, I liked candy […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Cinnamon Chocolate Soufflés

It’s April 13th. Which means I just got married last weekend! Which means I’m in a post-wedding blissful stupor. It also means that I have wedding cake in my fridge AND freezer. (Everything in my life is always somehow tied to pastries. 😉 ) I also baked a small dessert bar with French Macarons and cookies, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Velvet Walnut Fudge with Olive Oil & Fleur de Sel

I never thought I’d find myself asking, “Do you want your fudge with or without olive oil?” Yet, any time I eat or serve fudge in the future, it is a question that I will surely be asking. It seems like an odd addition at first, but once you try it, you will wonder how you […]
