Last week was the birthday of my dear friend, Cheryl of Sternman Rule. Since birthdays and cakes are synonymous (though I firmly believe ice cream should be too), I thought I would surprise her with a cake when I met up with her for lunch this week (we had Korean food in Korean town in Santa Clara).
When I was in Paris a few months ago dining at the revered Aux Lyonnais bistro, I was thrilled to see Ile Flottante on the dessert menu (and actually, I particularly remember my husband and I sharing three desserts between the two of us at that lovely place, and if it says anything, I don't remember what the other two were).
Best Chocolate Cake Recipe I've been trying and testing for a long time... and I'm pretty darn sure this one is the best... a classic: Chocolate Cake Recipe I don't like chocolate. And I'm not super hip on chocolate cake either (remember... I'm a Vanilla Girl through and through, blah blah blah).
Looking for a foolproof cake recipe? This dark chocolate layer cake is rich, moist and dairy free! Coconut and almonds will completely transform this cake!
Pumpkin bites! Nibbles of pumpkin love! Little sweets of morning joy! I wish I could say I wasn't this shallow, but the prospect of eating about 50 of these little guys is singlehandedly what got me out of bed this morning. That, and the fact that I would get to tell you about them.
So I can't believe this is my first Red, White and Blue dessert this year. We are a little under a week to July 4th and clearly I've been a bad bad food blogger and not shared any ideas with you in advance.
An aromatic buttery cake made with a rich nut mixture of blanched hazelnut is topped with a sea of deep amber sea salt caramel sauce. This simple Hazelnut cake with Salted Caramel Sauce is the perfect sweet and salty dessert! I think I have said this several times but it's only because it's so true.
There's always one isn't there? I. just. Couldn't. Help. Myself. I felt slightly embarrassed about the over whelming response to the Creme Egg Cheesecake recipe that I posted a few weeks ago, because I have a secret. I'm not actually that keen on Cadbury's Creme Eggs. I know, I'm a let down.
This is either a new high in midnight snacking, or a new low. Surely, it's nothing in between. Here's what's happening. Brioche bread + peanut butter and jelly + battered and fried + coated in cinnamon and sugar. It's part donut and part sandwich, from the brilliant pages of Sarah Coates' new book, The Sugar Hit .
Vanilla Cheesecake Bars with Chai Whipped Cream: These creamy vanilla cheesecake bars are rich, delicious, and topped with a homemade chai whipped cream! Have you seen that high-lariousDirty Dancing commercial? The one where "I've Had the Time of My Life" comes on and the lady attempts to swan dive into her husband's arms, but he's 100% unprepared and drops her on the table?
