Arx0nt - Яблочная шарлотка#cutid1. Глубокая осень.
Нескромный пронизывающий ветер держит улицы Москвы в плотном кулаке. Яркое солнце раз в несколько дней, в остальное время - непогодистая серость с редким дождиком. Воздух свеж и прохладен. Нос и щеки моментально розовеют, легкий пар вырывается при дыхании. Lemon Poppy seed Cake. Pistachio Baklava Cake. I love Baklava—the Greek, Turkish, Lebanese rich, sweet pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with nuts and sweetened with syrup.
Something about it just grabs me, which is surprising since I usually don’t like very sweet pastries. Perhaps it’s the subtle scent of rose water infused in the syrup or the gossamer layers of phyllo dough. Maybe it’s the baker’s fascination with the amount of liquid that Baklava can absorb. It could be the oozing of syrup in your mouth when you bite into the once crispy, but then chewy pastry layer with the earthy nut filling. MOLTEN LAVA CAKE. Apple Pecan Cheesecake.

Ever since I anointed Pierre Hermé as my pastry god, I've been wanting to try out this particular flavor combination, but didn't because raspberries were always so expensive and I didn't want to splurge on them.
Well, I'm glad I did because raspberries were on sale and boy oh boy, was my cake ispahan delicious! I really have to thank heavens for the day Pierre Hermé dreamed up of this flavor combination, because just having rose and raspberry in the cupcake was enough to make me beam from ear to ear, so I cannot imagine what I'd be like with the addition of lychees :] I've always wanted to make an Ispahan-inspired cake, one chockfull of raspberries and roses and lychees, and I wanted an authentic recipe from the god himself.
There are many ispahan-inspired desserts online, and some of my favorite (bookmarked) ones are from Swee San and Rachel, who used the interesting flavor combination to make their own versions of Ispahan petit fours. Ingredients 85g unsalted butter 60g icing sugar. Chocolate And Assam Tea Prune Brownies. I brewed some hot, strong Assam tea and soaked the prunes in it.
I let them soak for 24 hours. The brownies that I baked with them were moist with a beautiful flaky crust and chewy fudgey middle redolent with a delicate tea flavour. The chocolate and tea soaked prunes went very well together. Coming across a juicy prune as I bit into the brownie was a treat I was looking forward to in every bite. The kids had a customary brownie mainly to please me but were not crazy about it. As with all Bourke Street Bakery recipes, this one is unique and hits the sweet spot. Preparation Time – 20 minutes + 24 hours soaking. Bobbies Baking Blog. Gluten Free Pâte à Croissants I adore a warm buttery flaky croissant with a strong cup of coffee.
