Visit this post for more information Two years ago, I started developing a recipe for peanut butter cupcakes. Not using an essence or anything like that, but just as a sort of challenge. The inspiration was some Reeses Pieces cookies that I saw – it made me wonder whether I could replicate that flavour in a cupcake. I got the recipe to a point where I was fairly happy with it. They still weren’t perfect. So I told myself that I would continue to work on the recipe, tweaking it to the point where it would be where I wanted it to be. You see, in my opinion a cupcake should be light, fluffy and resemble a sponge in terms of texture.
And then a week rolled by. . * I don’t actually wear an apron. Next on the list? 1. 2. Chocolate Malted & Toasted-Marshmallow Layer Cake - Semisweetie, A geeky baking and recipe blog - StumbleUpon. Recipe: Sweetapolita's Campfire Delight Total time: 4 hours Ease: Intermediate Unusual ingredients: malted milk powder, whipping cream, marshmallows, marshmallow fluff, unsweetened cocoa powder, coffee Marshmallows.
Malt. Heavenly moist chocolate cake. Thus was my Saturday. I knew this was going to be a time investment. Layer cakes aren’t as simple as bake and frost; this cake also had more layers than the typical layer cake I’m used to. The recipe originally was for six layers of cake – mine turned out to be only four, and it was perfect.
The cakes themselves were perfect. Toasting the marshmallows was easy in the oven, but when I added them to the mixture of fluff, butter and icing sugar, things got quite a bit messy! The chocolate malted frosting is absolutely delightful. Related Posts: Watermelonade Recipe at Epicurious.com - StumbleUpon.

Doesn’t the very phrase itself, “sunshine in a jar,” roll off your tongue and fill your mouth with magic? While I’ve never yet found myself a sunshine in a jar, I think we may have just concocted it in our kitchen tonight. In this simple recipe, a basic white cake is turned into a slew of bright colors, baked to perfection, then topped with a creamy white frosting.
Cakes baked in jars can be topped with traditional metal canning lids and stored in the fridge for up to five days. They make a great treat to ship to someone, so long as you can ensure delivery to it’s final destination within 3 days.

Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes | Tasty Kitchen Blog - StumbleUpon. “Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream. I can think of no better place to exist, actually. So when I came across TK member Shelbi Keith’s recipe for Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes, I knew we were going to become fast friends. I couldn’t have been more correct.
The first players up are: a few Russet potatoes (I’m sure other varieties will work equally as well), Parmigiano-Reggiano and butter. Start by scrubbing your potatoes good and clean. Then, using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato, being sure to stop before you reach its bottom. Cut up your butter. Transfer them to your plate.
