Guinness adds a touch of nuttiness to the buttery, vanilla flavor of this Guinness Cupcakes recipe, and an easy Coffee Salted Caramel Buttercream is the perfect finishing touch!
These are definitely grown-up cupcakes with a complex flavor.…
Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream
This Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream is the perfect festive treat to whip up if you’re in the mood for a little fall baking! I seriously hope you haven’t reached your quota of pumpkin spice latte fun yet this fall because this cake is one of the best pumpkin creations to come out of my kitchen in a while. And come on, you probably still have a can of pumpkin in your pantry…or maybe even half a can or so in your fridge that you’re wondering how to use up? I have you covered....
Caramel Apple Cake
I can be such a party pooper when it comes to surprises. Every year before his birthday, I spend weeks searching for the perfect gift for Mike, which I buy in secret and then stash away. This is all wasted energy really, since I always, always tell him what it is before his birthday (really, it’s sort-of a windfall for him). At Christmas I’m no better. I’ve been known to bribe my sister with Tim Hortons coffee (her favorite) and homemade muffins for information on gifts. I can’t help it, lol…the anticipation is too much for me!...
Eggnog Cupcakes with Eggnog Buttercream
Until I made these cupcakes, I hadn’t fully realized the lemony flavor and scent of nutmeg. While baking, they filled the house with a sweet lemony aroma, and almost everyone who tasted them thought they were flavored with lemon or some type of citrus. Unlike straight eggnog, which is heavy and very rich, these cupcakes are surprisingly light and fluffy and their lemony/nutmeg flavor makes them refreshing. Eggnog Cupcakes with Eggnog Buttercream (Yield: 16-18 cupcakes and about 2 c buttercream) Eggnog Cupcakes: 3 large eggs 1 1/4 c white sugar 1/2 c canola oil 2 tsp vanilla 1 c eggnog 2 […]...
Dark Chocolate POM Brownies with White Chocolate POM Buttercream
I recently received a case of POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice from the fantastic people at POM (thank you!). I’ve been thinking about what to make with it and for some reason I just couldn’t get dark chocolate out of my mind. (Maybe I was thinking that all the antioxidants in the dark chocolate would be enhanced by all the antioxidants in the pomegranate juice…yes, I’m sure that’s why I had dark chocolate on my mind. ;) ) I debated what to make, but in the end I decided brownies would be delicious. To contrast the dark chocolate in the brownies, I thought a white […]...
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Vegan Buttercream Frosting (A.k.a. The Giant Birthday HoHo)
This is my mom’s recipe for chocolate cake…actually my mom said she got it from her mom who got it from her mom (I think every family has their own variation of this cake). It’s called “crazy chocolate cake” and for me and my siblings growing up, this was the cake at every birthday party, graduation, and other occasion that required the presence of a cake. This cake was vegan back in the day before veganism was common (or at least before it was as common as it is today). The original frosting wasn’t completely vegan since it had regular milk, but soy/rice/almond milk is […]...
