Strawberries and Cream Mug Cake. After seeing Angie’s mug cakes I’ve become obsessed with making them. I’ve been a bit gung-ho with anything strawberry flavored lately so, after mastering several chocolate mug cakes, I decided to try and make a strawberries and cream mug cake. I loved the idea of a fruity flavored cake that would be delicious topped with fresh strawberries and cream this summer.
Fortunately, several google searches pointed me in the direction of some great recipes and I got to work developing one of my own. What you see here is the result of several experiments and finally landing on what I hope is a great cake. Strawberries & Cream Mug Cake Adapted from Stacy Miller 1 egg 2 tablespoons strawberry yogurt, well stirred 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream for serving 1. 2. 3.
Like your desserts in a mug? Crêpes Cake with Chocolate Meringue Frosting. This cake is insane! I love it. But first, let me set it up. I’m a wuss. They say men have a lower threshold for pain. I first came across the idea of making a cake out of crêpes back in 2005 while reading a copy of House Beautiful (yes, House Beautiful. As I stood in my kitchen I was excited. So, as I thought about what I do for my next blog entry, I found myself debating whether I should reattempt what has come to be known as The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. Devil Figure: He can’t do it. Angel Figure: Yeah, that was a while ago. Devil Figure: Ok, don’t blame me if he embarrasses himself and us. With doubt bouncing around in my head, I decided to try it again. With a plan in hand I set out to make ‘The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. The cake has a rich and chocolaty flavor (the icing alone, makes it a dream). The second little surprise comes from the first bite.
In my humble opinion, this cake is just a beautiful marriage of flavors and textures. I hope you enjoy it! 4 eggs. Nutella-Mallow Pillow Pockets. When I tell you this, take me very seriously…..run, don’t walk to your nearest grocery store and make these today! I knew I wanted to make a Nutella treat the other day and when this simple idea came to mind I had no idea how crazy good it would be! The pastry with the gooey disappearing marshmallow and nutella make for a treat that you just must try for yourself! Enjoy! Can you handle this line up?! Sorry, I forgot to add one egg for the egg wash Um….this stuff should be illegal. I think one could devour the entire jar in one sitting! Ok, easy easy. Take a little fork and crimp those edges, nice and firm. Next, you’ll brush with an egg white wash and sprinkle with sugar, mmmmm!
Get a load of this! I sprinkled mine with a little powdered sugar Oooey, gooey and delish! Nutella-Mallow Pillow Pockets 1 package puff pastry, 2 pastry sheets thawed 1 Cup Nutella spread 1 Cup mini marshmallows Egg white wash: 1 egg white whisked with 1 Tablespoon water Powdered sugar for dusting 1. 8 pockets. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies. Brownies are sort of like cheesecake, aren’t they? There’s nothing better than the perfect dense, fudgy brownie, just like not much can beat a classic piece of creamy cheesecake. Yet with both of these desserts we’re always fiddling around with different versions, swirling things in and layering things on the top and the bottom (incidentally, peanut butter goes well with both!). It’s an endless merry go round of dessert experimentation, where there really can never be a bad result.
Feel free to check out all of my brownie recipes and cheesecake recipes to see how many times I have spun around this little kitchen carousel. But like a little kid at the amusement park, you never want the ride to stop, so we keep going… which is where these amazing brownies come in. When I first saw these over on RecipeGirl I stopped in my tracks. Aside from looking amazing, they were pure genius. You know how milk and cookies go well together? Back to the merry-go-round to do more kitchen experiments! Ridiculously Easy. I mean it. Easy. E…..Z…. Peach Crunch Cake. You need some sliced peaches in syrup. Just dump them in a 13 X 9 dish. Syrup and all. Note: this can also be called a dump cake. Cut the peaches into smaller pieces and you can distribute them more evenly. Next up, you need a yellow cake mix.
Sprinkle it right over the top of the peaches. Keep sprinkling until it’s all covered up. Then layer 1 stick of butter right on the top. For some reason this photo makes me smile. And this really makes me smile. Oh this is looking good. Finally, add some chopped walnuts. Here ’tis from the top and again from the side. Bake it at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes and voila… Peach crunch cake. Some for me… Some more for me… Good alone… good warm… good cold… and Good warm with something cold. Yum. Peach Crunch Cake 24.5 oz jar of sliced peaches in light syrup 1 package yellow cake mix 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), cut into 16 pieces 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Enjoy! Go. Homemade Samoas Recipe. Cinammon Sugar Crumble Banana Bread. I’ve really need to QUIT buying large bundles of bananas. why? This is why! My usual routine: Buy groceries – bananas included. Load them in Escalade. Shut back door. Open back door . . . grab a green banana. (Not so green that it won’t peel!) Eat banana while heading home. Unload groceries – put groceries away. Look at bananas . . . sigh . . . moan . . . pull faces. Bananas already morphed to yellow! Only one thing left to do . . . make Cinnamon Sugar Crumble Banana Bread. This is a new recipe – never tried before. If you look closely to the slices, you will even see a bit of coconut. I have to say, I don’t think I would add the coconut again. However, The Banana Bread is really good – the crumble topping is yummy.
I did change the topping up a bit from the original recipe, so make sure you read the notes below. As for my “not a lover of sweet stuff hubbie,” He took all the crumble off, and just ate the Banana Bread! Go figure. Next time . . . He will have to remove the crumble and the chocolate chips!!! Apples and Spice Cinnamon Bread Pudding. Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July yesterday and lots of finger lickin’ BBQ I had so much fun creating this decadent brunch/dessert with the boys last week. I had a major craving for a custard-y bread pudding and this hit the spot with sauteed apples and cinnamon mixed in. You are going to love this one. Enjoy! Start with some thick cinnamon bread. Most grocery stores have a nice selection. Cube your bread slices to get them ready for the ramekins. There we go. My sweet helpers anxious to eat :) Whisk those eggs to start.
Add your brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Cube a nice apple and keep those little fingers from eating them all Time to saute! Let them sizzle in a little butter. Add some brown sugar and cinnamon. A little skillet of heaven. Pour that mixture into your egg and cream mix, drippings and all. Mmm, now give it a good stir. Divide that heavenly custard into your ramekins please Ahhh, almost ready for the oven. A little brown sugar on top! Apples and Spice Cinnamon Bread Pudding 1. 2. Cream Puffs. For years and years and years, I’ve been making Cream Puffs. they bake and rise beautifully . . . and then deflate. Not any more . . . I say! Cream Puffs really are very simple to make.
They are even easier to eat. It’s all in the slit or the poke, and a bit of dry time. See that little slit on the puff . . . in the far right corner? That makes all the difference between “Once Beautiful” and “Still Beautiful!” After they have finished baking, turn your oven off and take the puffs out of the oven. Give them a poke or a little slit with a sharp paring knife. (This lets the steam escape) Return them to the oven (turned off) and crack the oven door with a wooden spoon. Let the puffs sit there and bask in their beauty for about 15 to 30 minutes. You want them dry and cool in the oven. You can fill them with this wonderfully delicious cream.
We love this stuff . . . it’s seriously good. It also make yummy fruit dip for apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, etc. Below is a delicious Hot Fudge Recipe or.
