Lime yogurt cake with blackberry sauce

Lime yogurt cake with blackberry sauce
Seeing as I can’t get enough of those I Don’t Need A Special Occasion To Make Cake Cakes and also those Of Course You Can Stop By At The Last Minute (psst, ’cause I’d already made some cake) Cakes, I am clearly long overdue to make a classic French yogurt cake. I first learned about yogurt cakes nearly five years ago from Clotilde; they’re perfect anytime-of-day cakes (bless the French for understanding the utmost importance of this), not too sweet, fluffy and perfect just from the oven or wrapped in plastic for a day or two, as the corners soften. Most people don’t measure them — the math is based on the volume of your yogurt cups (they use two), to which you add an equal amount of sugar, a double amount of flour, a little less than one of oil, two eggs and some leavener and flavors. Those flavors are usually gentle things, like a bit of lemon zest, or vanilla, a splash of rum or maybe a handful of berries. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Related:  fruit desserts

Baked Sweet Potato Chips | What I Would Ask My Mother I have so many questions for her. You would think that as you get older, you become wiser, but the truth is, the more questions you have. If my mother were still with us, I would ask her so many things. When did you get your first grey hair? What was that beautiful green seaweed we ate at Papa’s place in Sorsogon, over hot rice and fish? Was my homework growing up as much work for you? When did your metabolism start to slow? Why didn’t you and dad ever go on dates? Did you ever try baking those Kamote Chips? I remember so many things from my childhood, but yearn to remember more, and miss the chance to reminisce with her. Click here for the recipe. Leave a Comment

Save Now 17 flourless dessert ideas Every year, I see Passover-friendly recipes that frighten me: brick-like honey cakes, “sponge” cakes that still haunt my mother (who receives these in lieu of birthday cakes most years, due to the misfortune of having a birthday that falls in the first week of April), dinner rolls that my father likens to “hockey pucks” and macaroons that nobody (besides me) likes. And every year, I wonder: what ever happened to impossible-to-hate flourless chocolate cakes and truffles? Desserts lifted with egg whites? Ground nuts instead of flour? Well, you know what I say? For example, did you know that Payard–yes, that Payard–makes a Flourless Chocolate Walnut Cookie? Of course, if a more classic meringue cookie is your thing, I’d point you to my mother’s, which contain both chocolate chips and walnuts. Staying on the meringue track, pavlovas–which are giant clouds of meringues–are not to be missed. On the cake front, there are few higher callings among chocoholics than a flourless chocolate cake.

Super Easy Mini Cherry Cheesecakes I made these cute little treats for my grandfather’s 84th birthday. He has a little bit of a sweet tooth. So I thought he’d love these. Here’s the recipe: 2 pkg. of (8oz.) cream cheese, softened to room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 Tbsp vanilla 1 Tbsp lemon juice Mix. vanilla wafers 2″ aluminum mini baking cups Cherry Pie Filling Place a vanilla wafer in each mini baking cup. Spoon approximately 3 Tbsp of cream cheese mixture over each wafer. heavenly chocolate cake roll This is one of my family’s three cakes. The first one, a sour cream cinnamon chocolate chip coffee cake, came from my grandmother and her sisters, and my husband occasionally (but very quietly) threatens to skip family events if nobody is planning to make it. Nobody knows the origin of the second cake, my mom’s apple cake, but if you’ve gone to a housewarming party, well, ever and not brought it, well, I think you should have. And this is the third one. We make it on Passover but frankly, there’s nothing especially Passover-ish about it, aside from the absence of flour. There’s no ground matzo, theme of exodous or anything particularly religious about the way it is put together. I attempted to sidestep the expletives a few years ago and shared a doubled version with you that was stacked four high, a layer cake of the finest proportions. Um, delicious cake chips but seriously, this take was so bad that I decided it high time to find a new approach to my family’s beloved cake.
