Strawberry Shortcakes - Kirbie's Cravings. Thursday, May 13, 2010 When I was little I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll. It was one of my favorite dolls. Recently, I turned on the tv during the weekend morning and there was a Strawberry Shortcake show on. Boy, have they changed how she looks now. Anyway, I was pretty obsessed with my Strawberry Shortcake doll. When my mom asked me to come up with a secret password, my password was “Strawberry Shortcake.’ It occurred to me very recently, that I’ve never actually eaten strawberry shortcake.

I chose to use a recipe from Joelen’s Culinary Adventures because she used a sweet cream biscuit recipe I had been wanting to try. Strawberry Shortcakes (Recipe adapted from Joelen’s culinary adventures) Sweet Cream Biscuits (from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours, page 23) Makes about 12 biscuits Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp. baking powder 2 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 to 1 and 1/4 cups heavy cream Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

I brought along another recipe to share with you during our Orlando vacation this week, but first I must share this recipe from Tasty Kitchen, which my buddy Amy prepared and photographed in such delicious detail, I actually cried when I first saw it. Then I drooled. Then I grabbed the room service menu to see if anything even remotely resembled it, I wanted it so badly.

Alas, it was not to be. CURSE YOU, AMY! The recipe is for—are you ready? Check out some of the delicious carnage. Yum! Thank you, Amy and Susan, for sharing such deliciousness! Here’s the link for those of you who are brave enough: A Tasty Recipe: My Granny’s Chocolate Cobbler Warning: Enter at your own risk. Handle the Heat. Tie-Dyed Red Velvet Cheesecake Recipe. Chocolate Valentino. There is nothing like a flourless chocolate cake. Â They are, quite literally, the easiest dessert to make in the wold. Â This recipe has three ingredients (ok, I snuck in about a half cup of extra sugar, so four ingredients) and comes together in about 10 minutes. Â It looks mouth-watering, tasted incredibly indulgent, and would make a great Valentine’s Day dessert, a little late. Like my last flourless chocolate cake, it was mushy and delicious straight out of the oven, but needed to cool for a bit before it set.

But, um, who on earth is going to complain about that? I’m sad to say that we devoured this cake before I got around to making ice cream, so I don’t have a picture of both together.

And I will celebrate by baking eggnog bars and chocolate pots de creme! After I saw this recipe for chocolate chip cookie topped brownies, I couldn't stop thinking about making them.

October 30, 2009 | By Adam Roberts | 20 Comments You say “chocolate cake,” and the masses come; you say “olive oil zucchini cake” and there’s a bit of a silence. “Ummm,” a timid voice emerges a few seconds later. “What kind of cake did you say?” It’s olive oil zucchini cake, timid-voiced person!

The only tweak I made was I left out the walnuts; not because I’m allergic or anything, just because I was trying to save a little money (they were $5.99 at the store) but I bet this cake would taste even better with them.
