Basque cheesecake is truly some of the best possible cheesecake, I think. But, it doesn’t have a crust! And I am usually someone who is all about the crust on my pies and cheesecakes. So when my brother requested cheesecake for his birthday, I decided on Basque cheesecake with a crumb to sprinkle on top…
Key Lime Pie Sugar Cookies
I was bemoaning the amount of graham crackers I had, but a stroke of genius led me to a way to use them up. Key lime pie sugar cookies! Another twist on the now classic recipe. I need to remember for the future. Graham crackers = s’mores, but there are also plenty of other use…
Corn Blueberry Cake
This is a riff off of Christina Tosi’s Corn Blueberry Sheet Cake, which has become a bit of a classic for my family. This riff is… very similar to the original cake, but just a bit simpler – only one 9×9 pan, just a crumb, and just one layer with frosting on top. But, it…
Cut-out Cookies – Strawberry and Chocolate Root Beer
I find most cut out cookies to be… very boring. Sorry. Just, in the world of cookies, they are so plain. The frosting is usually the best part. But the “Cookies, rolled flat before baking” category at the State Fair specifies no icing. So… it’s a small box to get creative in. And when the…
Corn Blueberry Checkboard Ice Box Cookies
The math concept I use probably the most in my Real Life is Lowest Common Denominator. It’s a useful one for baking. If you want to make a smaller batch of something, divide all the ingredients by the LCD. Which is typically the smallest amount of something that you can’t break down any further. Usually,…
Strawberry Birthday Cake
We celebrated my sister’s birthday a week early, when my family was all in town. And then, of course, for the actual day… we had to do a mini celebration again! Which meant: two cakes! She requested a chocolate-forward cake the first week, and then this strawberry birthday one the second week. Two very different…
Yeasted Apple Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Brown Butter Crumb
My State Fair strategy has led to some delightful discoveries! First, I found that potato bread is both delicious and super easy to make at home. Now, I’ve found that yeasted coffee cakes are also delicious! This coffee cake has a very light texture – still cake-like, but with a little boost from the yeast…
Gluten Free Lemon Blondies
These are gluten free and dairy free blondies actually. At least, they were until I put the white chocolate into it. I forgot that white chocolate had dairy in it. Sooo… if you are dairy-free, remember that. I was going to give these to my gluten free dairy free friend, but then it ended up…
