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 […]
Guinness Stout Cake
I’m not generally one to drink by myself at home. I’d rather eat my calories any day of the week, especially dessert. But right now in Coronaland, days and calories and beverages and work and meals and food porn and TV seem to sort of blur in and out of each other. And technically it’s […]
Green Tea Rhubarb Pudding Cake
I think it’s safe to say that St. Patrick’s Day 2020 will go down in history as the saddest/strangest/quietest St. Patrick’s Day in modern times. No parades, no drunken bar crawls, and a sickly feeling that celebration is slightly inappropriate. I had a dinner party with friends planned, ingredients for creative desserts, and my general […]
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 […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 10: Pistachio Nutella Halva Hamantashen
So this is it– the culmination of 10 days and LOTS and LOTS of hamantashen. I didn’t think I’d get to this point, but… (spoken in a hushed tone) I might actually be hamantashen-ed out! I’m so glad I saved these Pistachio Nutella Halva Hamantashen for last– I’m kind of in love with them. They […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 9: Cheddar Jalapeño Knishentashen
Here’s where I’m at in my life right now: I can’t get enough of potato and cheese and pastry dough wrappers. That might not sound very glamorous, but Molly Yeh made my Savory Jewish Pastry Dreams come true, and now I can’t stop making knishentashen. Earlier in this “10 Days of Hamantashen” series, I was […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 8: Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Hamantashen
You know what’s been missing from “10 Days of Hamantashen”? If you were thinking, “Yeah, these flavors are decent, but what I’m really craving is something sweet and salty…”, then we’re on the same page. Which is why I thought Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Hamantashen should be included in this collection. Like the Ugly-Delicious S’mores […]
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, […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 7: Confetti Cheesecake Hamantashen
Is there ever an age when one no longer gets excited about candy sprinkles? Because if there is, I never want to be that age. Sprinkles still bring me so much joy, and I love using them playfully in all kinds of baked goods. I went through a phase a few years ago where I […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 6: Double Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Hamantashen
I’ve been on something of a coconut bender lately, so I knew I’d have to do a hamantashen flavor this week that would involve coconut! I debated adding finely shredded unsweetened coconut or coconut extract to the dough and using a chocolate filling, but then I thought, what if I flip it– how could I […]
