Daring Bakers' June 2012 ~ Going Batty For the Jubilee It is the month of June, and off we go to England and celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. Mandy of What The Fruitcake?! came to our rescue last minute to present us with the Battenberg Cake challenge! She highlighted Mary Berry’s techniques and recipes to allow us to create this unique little cake with ease. Last minute or not, it was quite a formidable and exciting challenge, as you will come to see. In Mandy's words ..." Battenburg cake was introduced to the chefs of the British Royal family during Queen Victoria's reign. I'd heard of the London afternoon tea delight, but never had the pleasure of knowing a bite of it's sophisticated form. We were given the option to choose colors that were to flood our pattern and also choices of some splendid flavor pairs. I actually felt a tad grander and a wee bit taller from my all of 5 ft 3'' frame whilst putting together this dessert of grandiose quality. Going forward, then, I set out to make my two Battenburg cakes. Cheerio! Ingredients : Method: Method:
Trio of Battenberg Cakes - Daring Bakers Mandy of What The Fruitcake?! came to our rescue last minute to present us with the Battenberg Cake challenge! She highlighted Mary Berry’s techniques and recipes to allow us to create this unique little cake with ease. Have you ever tasted a Battenberg cake? Apparently, the first Battenberg cake was made to celebrate the marriage of Queen ’s granddaughter, Princess Victoria, to husband Prince Louis of Battenberg. It’s traditionally flavoured with almond and has the signature Battenberg markings, that is, the yellow and pink squares (said to represent the four princes of Battenberg). It is certainly stunning visually and the classic cake is delicious to taste as well. I made three versions of the Battenberg - traditional pink/yellow with almond flavouring, a walnut/coffee version and finally a chocolate/orange Battenberg. I do find the marzipan a little finicky so if you are worried about that you could use fondant instead as I did in my coffee/walnut and chocolate/orange versions. Other
Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting I couldn't believe my eyes this week when I saw the ad for Pumpkin Spice Lattes in my local Starbucks. Pumpkin Spice already?

Sweetapolita Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups Soooooo… you know that episode of Sex and the City where Miranda has to dump dish soap on top of chocolate cake just so she will stop eating it?? Uh. Yeeeeeah. These are like… of that caliber. And that totally almost happened to me. I ate what felt like a million, then had a plate of 5-day old green bean fries from the fridge and called it lunch. I definitely recommend those. For lunch. Face? Inhale. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups [cookie dough adapted from cookie dough dip] makes 24 cups 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 3/4 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Line a mini muffin with with liners. Remove muffin tin and cookie dough, then place 1 teaspoon of cookie dough (I somewhat rolled mine) into the chocolate cups. Sigh.
Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls So… I didn’t just make one outrageous cinnamon roll last weekend. I clearly made two. I think this is the end of the cake batter era. Unless I come up with something even more ridiculous to create with a cake batter flavor, I’m pretty cake battered out. Even the glaze is a cake batter glaze! These are just as simple as the regular cinnamon rolls, and perhaps simpler than the cookie dough stuffed version. In all of this cake batter madness I’ve had going on lately, there is one thing I haven’t been able to master: the cake batter flavor without the actual cake mix! So these tasted just how they look – over the top. Holy sugar rush. Of course I find them wildly fun with all of the sprinkles going on. [print_this] Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls rolls recipe from The Pioneer Woman (with a few additions) makes 4 pans of cinnamon rolls 2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup sugar 1 package dry yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes | Handle the Heat Recipe: Pumpkin Doughnut Holes » Bay Area Bites | KQED Food Happy autumn! Happy Halloween! Pumpkin patches are open for business, black cats, ghosts, and sugar skulls are decorating every shop window, and crazily colorful winter squash are spilling their stripy, curvy glory across produce stands and farmers’ market tables everywhere. Being a Libra/Scorpio with a late-October birthday, I’ve always had an extra-special–all right, downright personal–appreciation for the seasonal joys of this time of year. But you don’t have to have a October birthday (even though it is the best time to born, as all your Libra/Scorpio buddies will agree) to love this time of year, especially now that our last-gasp heat wave has given way to cooler days and the promise of rain. The Bay Area has had a renaissance of doughnut vendors of late, what with the continued success of Dynamo Donut and Coffee and the recent Oakland openings of both Donut Savant and Doughnut Dolly. Yes, deep-frying, eeek! Once squash has drained, it’s time to make it smooth. Preparation 1. 2.
