Citrus Almond Pound Cake

I have had the fixings for this cake for nearly 2 weeks.  Which means it has probably been 3+.  Always add more time when discussing the passage of time…and me.  Much like when doctors ask you about alcohol and/or caffeine consumption.  They double whatever you say.  Because we lie.  Or miscalculate.  Or misjudge.  Did you knowContinue reading “Citrus Almond Pound Cake”

Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake

I found myself making this cake twice in the period of 6 days.  I had my reasons … if they were good and legitimate I am unsure, however cake was the result…so, honestly who cares. Cake number one was more of a belated birthday cake of sorts … I made the proper month but wasContinue reading “Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake”

Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake

I need to apologize.  I have been holding out on you guys for at least two weeks.  And honestly, it has been longer than that but the exact amount of time is beyond me and any guess would be a straight exaggeration because I can not, for the life of me, make an educated guessContinue reading “Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake”

Browned Butter Vanilla Rum Snacking Cake

  Corduroys, grayish black and cozy as all get out.  A flannel shirt with snaps.  Snaps.  Wool running socks.  Large snow flakes.  Cold crisp air.  A Large Americano.  A scarf that matches nothing and clashes with everything but makes me insanely happy for no good reason.  Gray skies and a frozen lake.  Saturday morning marketContinue reading “Browned Butter Vanilla Rum Snacking Cake”

Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake

This cake has been tempting me since I first laid eyes on it while perusing Food52.  And then it started taunting me when I saw that Molly used the cake as her base for terrariums.  Edible gingerbread terrariums.  Seriously?!?  I won’t even mention her gingerbread farm except that I will and the windows are freaking JollyContinue reading “Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake”

Hot Fudge Cheesecake w/ Brownie Crust

So, I had some hot fudge leftover this past week. Awww shucks, right? And, well…I was totally cool with just eating it by the spoonful.  Like, no problem.  What.SO.Ever. But then I thought… I could be eating this by the forkful… Atop cheesecake… Which lay atop a large, thick intense chocolate brownie. And the forkContinue reading “Hot Fudge Cheesecake w/ Brownie Crust”

Yogurt Cake w/ Peach Blueberry Compote

Yo!  I have a cake for you today. And if you bake this cake…you will have cake tomorrow. It goes along the lines of the proverb … give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish…     Proverbs don’t just pop into everyone’s brains randomly?Continue reading “Yogurt Cake w/ Peach Blueberry Compote”
