If there is anything that screams summer, it’s a nice cold margarita rimmed with salt and sipped in the sun. This Margarita Cake is the baked dessert equivalent of its namesake drink. Two moist, fluffy sponges are brushed with tequila and layered with a lightly salted lime and tequila Swiss Meringue buttercream that is so …
You know what’s amazing: butter. There really isn’t anything that a nice helping of butter can’t make better. Slather it onto some dry toast, add a bit to some pasta or mac and cheese, or even spread a bit onto pancakes or a muffin, and the flavor is something you just won’t regret. These Honey …
Consider me biased, but this Strawberry Rhubarb Upside Down Cake is all sorts of amazing. The cake is fluffy and moist, the strawberries and the rhubarb are sweet with a slight bit of tang, and the caramel has a touch of balsamic to hone in it to bring about some extra depth of flavors. Even …
Today is all about dough. Sweet dough. In particular, today is all about this Malted Chocolate Blueberry Couronne. This loaf is rich and sweet. From the savory hit of the malted milk powder and the bittersweet chocolate that lines it’s swirls to the subtly-sweet bite of the blueberry jam and the kick of actual sweetness …
These Banana Hazelnut Cupcakes are just about everything you can ask for in a cupcake–soft, moist, full of banana flavor with a bit of crunch and earthy nuttiness from the tasted hazelnuts–all topped off with a Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting that is slightly tangy, slightly sweet, and fully as addicting and eat-it-by-the-spoonful-able as Nutella itself. …
I’ve had the tendency these past few weeks to throw some of my favorite fall and winter flavors into some early spring bakes. I’m going to change that up this week though as this cake is all about fresh flavors and spring. This Almond, Raspberry, and Lemon cake is a dream come true. The cake …
If there is one thing that every baker should have a recipe for, it’s a good muffin. Something light and fresh that’s packed with flavor and texture. For me, these Carrot and Apple Muffins fit the bill. They’re perfect for a spring morning or a fall afternoon. The moistness from the carrot and the apple …
This cake was a labor of love. Do you ever have something that you firmly believe will be amazing, but every attempt you make at is just isn’t quite right? For me, that was this Orange Pistachio Cake. I made this cake last year for my birthday because I couldn’t get the thought of orange, …
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t spend more time making scones. I love them flaky and sweet & I love them on the more biscuity side with just a hint of sweetness (like these Earl Grey & Honey Blueberry Scones!). Either way, I firmly believe that you just can’t go wrong with a scone. Especially …
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts (Donuts).
Skip my rambling and just go straight to the recipe at the bottom. It speaks for itself!
