This cake was by far the biggest Bundt A Month challenge I have faced. Confession: I don’t usually care for tropical desserts. And tropical is March’s theme. Have you ever noticed that the hotter the climate gets, the sweeter the desserts get? Not richer or unhealthier, but just naturally sweeter. Rice puddings, custards… They are…
Citrus Scented Blueberry Buckle
I mentioned earlier that while I was on Flagyl I was unable to consume any alcohol, not even vanilla extract. But as I felt better, I was desperate to bake something. Have you ever tried baking without vanilla (I did not have any alternatives, like beans or paste, available)? It is really hard! I finally…
#BundtAMonth: Double Chocolate Swirled Bundt Cake
Surely you knew the theme for February would be chocolate! Happily for me, I made this cake before getting sick–and therefore even got to enjoy some of it. Happily for my friends, I brought it to a friend’s birthday celebration at a local bar. Not as happily for you guys, that means all the pictures of…
Chocolate Glazed Latte Cake
This place has been dessert central lately. Don’t fret, I have not given up my beef braising, curry paste pounding, bean cooking ways. But this has been a hell of a winter for germs, and as long time readers know, I am the original germ magnet. Why is that relevant? Because baking is fun, relaxing,…
#BundtaMonth: Citrus Bundt Cake with Sparkling Wine and Fiori di Sicilia… Trifle
You might have guessed from both my title and my picture that this month’s BundtAMonth did not go as planned. The first problem was that I just did not have many occasions on which to bake a bundt cake, given that I was sick throughout the holidays. Then, when I did make one, I made…
Late Night One Bowl Vanilla Sour Cream Cake
Plain or simple are not works I associate with the cooking I do. Ironically, therefore, my baking is pretty much the opposite; I don’t like too many flavors going on at the same time. And when I am sick, as I was over Christmas, I want my desserts to be even more plain. Almost boring…
#BundtaMonth: Citrus Glazed Spiced Zucchini Bundt Cake
I had a late night Nigella Lawson moment with this cake. You know how, on her cooking show, she is always shown going down to the kitchen late at night to get a plateful of leftovers of whatever she made for the show that day? I try not to do that much, and I almost…
Boca Negra Cake: #CookForJulia
When I was first contacted about cooking a Julia Child recipe and posting about it for PBS’s #CookForJulia celebration of Julia Child in honor of what would have been her upcoming 100th birthday, I was extremely ambivalent. On the one hand, it was PBS and that is exciting! And honoring Julia Child is certainly a…
Vinho Verde Pound Cake: “Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly…”
Every now and then I get a little crazy enthusiastic about the joys and benefits of living somewhere that nature comes right up to my backdoor. Well tonight I mean that literally, as I went a little giddy snapping photos (with my iPhone, handheld in the dark, so pardon the quality) of this little scene…
