Pumpkin Sour Cream Coffee Cake
November 19th, 2011
I have a thing for coffee cake. Doesn’t everyone? This particular version is an ode to fall, and a wonderful option for Thanksgiving breakfast.
Devils Food Whoopie Pies
October 16th, 2011
They really wanted me to make something “Halloweeny.” And because Pia was involved, it had to be chocolate. I thought about my poor old whoopie pie pan that hasen’t been used since this.
Apple Maple Cupcakes
October 7th, 2011
Applesauce snuck into my cupcakes last week. And it tasted wonderful ☺
Pumpkin Caramel Cupcakes
October 6th, 2011
This is sort of a two part post. The first today, and the second (apple maple cupcakes) tomorrow morning. They go hand in hand because they are both cupcakes, they are both versions of the same recipe, and they were both part of my Spooky Halloween Dessert Buffet earlier this week, and again on my little tv spot Tuesday.
Red Velvet Halloween Cakes
October 5th, 2011
These cakes were inspired by Halloween! When I thought about what I wanted to make for my Spooky Halloween Dessert Buffet, a “blood thirsty” red velvet shot straight to the top of my list!
Spiced Zucchini Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
September 11th, 2011
These cupcakes feel like the perfect fusion of summer and the ever-closer autumn. They are packed with the moist shredded zucchini that is still growing rampant in the Northwest, and then the cake and frosting are both lightly spiced which throws a nod towards the cozy months to follow.
Lemon Summer Squash Bread
August 1st, 2011
The summer squash, I treat very much like I would a zucchini. And I love to bake with zucchini (see my chocolate zucchini cake , or spiced zucchini bread ). So I thought I would make a loaf cake/ bread using both my plentiful sour lemon juice, and also my yellow summer squash.
Strawberry Cake with Vanilla Frosting
July 25th, 2011
This is the cake I brought to a recent “joint birthday”. It was a triple-decker Strawberry Cake with Vanilla Frosting. We still have tons of ripe gorgeous strawberries and the berries coming from the local strawberry farms are so beautiful and sweet. I pureed them and baked them right into the vanilla cake batter. The cake is not too sweet, and when it is paired with sweet tartness of the strawberries and the super sweet vanilla frosting, it is wonderful.
Chocolate Banana Cake with Caramelized Bananas
July 13th, 2011
This is a dense, dark chocolate cake made extra moist and banana-y from the banana puree. I also added the tiniest bit of cardamom to complement and echo the chocolate and caramel flavors.
