My mom recently got me a subscription to the most delightful monthly newspaper: Baking Nation. A newspaper delivered every month filled with baking related history, recipes, puzzles, horoscopes, and tips and tricks. What more could you ask of a newspaper?? Nothing, I say. There’s also a cozy mystery story with monthly installments, so it’s really…
Hot Chocolate Mini Bundt Cake
I waxed on about my new baby Bundt pan a few weeks ago. It really is a delightful addition to my kitchen. It would be ridiculous to make an entire hot chocolate Bundt cake in the middle of the week, with no holiday or occasion. But a little mini Bundt on a random Tuesday? It’s…
Sourdough Bundt Cake with Brown Butter Glaze (in a Baby Bundt pan)
Sometimes, impulse purchases lead to regret. Other times, you’re mid-purchase thinking, “This was an excellent decision.” The other day, my parents and I stopped into the Nordic Ware Factory Store and I impulse-purchased a “baby Bundt” pan. It immediately fell into the latter category of impulse purchase. I used the pan two days later to…
Coffee Chocolate Chip Cake with Pistachio Filling and Brown Butter Frosting
This past Saturday, my siblings and I attended the “Cake Picnic” here in Minneapolis in honor of Betty Crocker’s 104th birthday. (Betty Crocker the brand, not a real person.) A video of that experience can be seen here, but I also figured it deserved a post! And I wanted to share the recipe for my…
PB&J Layer Cake (Brown Butter Cake, Cherry Compote, Cinnamon Crumb, and Peanut Butter Frosting)
My brother is turning THIRTY this Monday, so we’ve been celebrating all weekend. That means making a cake for us to enjoy the whole weekend. My brother’s golden birthday cake last year was a pretty spectacular cake, so the bar was set high this year. His only request was “PB&J,” but I was able to…
Almond Blueberry Poppyseed Cake
This cake is one that should have been on this blog several years ago! It’s a classic from my Mom’s family, that she grew up eating on special occasions. I frequently request it for my birthday, since it’s perfect for a May birthday. But it’s also perfect for an August birthday (or really, any time…
S’mores Cake
A few weeks ago, when I asked my siblings for a suggestion on what to bake next, my sister started rattling off about 7 ideas for s’mores flavored desserts. I ended up making some cookies, following her idea. And then when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said “s’mores cake.” I…
A Cake Fit for a Marathon (Chocolate Ovaltine Cake)
On Saturday, I celebrated my 26.2nd birthday the best way a runner can… by running a marathon!! There were no official races this weekend, so I did this by walking out my door and running 26.2 miles across Minneapolis. This included running around 5 different lakes, passing a few landmarks. My family took turns running…
