• ginger fig muffins

  

  We are experiencing more typical Seattle weather, finally! Which is nice. I mean, I like the dry and sunny summery days we’ve been having, but this is Seattle, and it is winter, dammit. Rainy days and Mondays do not always get me down. Plus, it’s baking weather! Plus, the lighting on a rainy day is perfect! […]

• brown butter pear hazelnut cakelets

  

  Bosc Pears!!! Bosc pears are….well…hard to transport in a backpack. Especially when they are perfectly ripe. Don’t. Unless you don’t mind the skins of the particularly ripe ones coming off and causing some of the flesh and juices to seep out into your backpack! I speak from experience. Still, once I got home, I ate […]

• maple bacon cake

  

  …because sometimes you just want a  rich, sticky, square of a maple cake, soaked in a maple caramel sauce, and topped with a pound of candied bacon, right? This is a cake I’m bringing to a birthday party in about an hour. It turns out I made this exactly six months ago, and posted on […]

• okinawan sweet potato cake with macapuno

  

  Hi there! I feel like I’ve been away for such a long time, but it has only been about a week. I feel like there have been many times this week that I was all ready to start experimenting in the kitchen, and something would come up. Or I wouldn’t have all the ingredients for […]

• raspberry black pepper cake with goat cheese icing

  

  A few days ago, I came across this recipe for black pepper cake, and was just waiting for the weekend to finally try my hand at making something similar! By the way, it was a real nice weekend, weather wise, in the Seattle area. I’m going to have to figure out a way I can enjoy baking without […]

• Mixed Berry Marzipan Banana Bread

  

  Ever since I saw Sofia’s blueberry, strawberry and yogurt cake, I’ve been wanting to make something similar, but with frozen mixed berries. After all, I did have a bag of frozen mixed berries in the freezer, and yogurt in the fridge. But since we had some bananas that were borderline over-ripe, I decided to make some banana […]

• Bananas + Chocolate Cake Batter = Success

  

  I wanted to find out if I could just throw two mashed bananas into a chocolate cake batter and expect that everything will just turn out fine. So I did! And the answer is…yes! But it might depend on the recipe.  I would not conclude that this is true for any cake recipe. It seemed to […]

• pumpkin burnt sugar cake with butterscotch pecan filling and chocolate molasses glaze

  

  I need to figure out how to name things without feeling like I have to include every single ingredient in the title. I guess I could just call this the Pumpkin BS Cake with Molasses Glaze. But I guess that wouldn’t really work, would it? I found a recipe for burnt sugar cake in the […]

• Pear Hazelnut Cake

  I actually made this pear hazelnut cake in the spring for someone’s birthday at work. Since I work at a very large place, I doubled the recipe. I’ve found that when you double a recipe for a 10-inch springform pan, it fits into a 14-inch springform pan, almost exactly. So that’s typically what I do when […]
