{2 minute} Coffee Cake in a Mug - Heather Likes Food By now we all know that I like food, but what I haven’t told you is that I’m not a huge chocolate fan. Gasp! I like chocolate, I really do, and while I think that chocolate milkshakes and Reese’s peanut butter cups are from the gods, I just can’t handle a lot of it. Dark chocolate? No thanks. What I’m really trying to get at here is that I’ve done the cake in a mug thing before and wasn’t sold- that totally relates, right?. I was in the mood for cake the other morning – it was almost noon, don’t judge- and I had zero counter, oven, or sink space because I was in the midst of cooking for 300 people. **Update: If you like pumpkin, hop on over here for a pumpkin version of this cake that is just as sinfully good as this one! {2 minute} Coffee Cake in a Mug Ingredients 1 Tbsp butter 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp applesauce vanilla extract, few drops 1/4 C All Purpose flour 1/8 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 1 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 1 tbsp brown sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon Instructions
A Cup of Coffee Cake (in Under Five Minutes) I don’t love chocolate. BLASPHEMY I KNOW! It just doesn’t do it for me, what can I say? I do, however, love me some cinammon. But okay, I don’t always feel like making a giant coffee cake and eating it for three days straight until it’s gone. So I messed around with ingredients, a measuring spoon, and a microwave, to see if I could create a crumbly, cinnamony coffee cake in a cup that could be made in a microwave in about five minutes at 11 p.m. while i watched The Notebook for the 5,000th time (hey girl, don’t even try to pretend you don’t love Ryan Gosling, I won’t hear it).

How to Make the Best Buttery Scones | Kitchn Scones, buttery baked biscuit-like treats, are descendants of a Scottish oat, barley, or wheat bread. In the U.S. they have increased in popularity over the last 25 years, but scones still tend to get pigeonholed as fancy breakfast or formal high-tea fare. Once you get the hang of the technique of making the dough, you'll be serving them with ease for snacks, brunches, breakfasts, and even for your own casual tea parties at home. Two Techniques for Better Scones, Every Time Keep it cold: Just like making pie crust or biscuits, the key to making scones flaky is cold everything: cold butter, cold cream, cold eggs, and cold surface if you can. Special Flour Makes an Extra-Special Scone Different flours have different protein amounts and work very differently. Making It Even Better with Simple, Smart Baking Science Lemon juice is not part of classic scones, but the zest definitely is. Place the currants in a small glass or other nonreactive bowl, add the lemon juice and zest and stir well.
Chocolate Pudding Cake in a Jar Pudding cake is cake unlike any other – as it bakes, it creates a rich puddingy sauce underneath the batter, which bakes up all soft and cakey on top. You eat it in a bowl, with a spoon, which makes it a perfect candidate for baking in little glass jars. Cakes baked in jars are all the rage right now, but I find it awkward to eat plain old cake from a jar. Bonus: chocolate pudding cake is one of the fastest (in terms of actual work time) and simplest recipes I know, and everyone goes mad for it. Chocolate Pudding Cake in a JarCake: 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) cocoa 2 tsp. (10 mL) baking powder 1/4 tsp.

Yogurt and Honey Olive Oil Cake | Kitchn I have so much to tell you about this cake.

When we were making these together the other day I was trying to think of fun ways to decorate them and she pulled out a jar of sprinkles.

Mixed Berry & Jasmine Tea Scones | Kitchn You can’t go wrong with scones for Mother’s Day. And you almost have no excuse not to make something home-baked, especially when you can consider these mixed berry scones laced with delicate jasmine come together in just twenty minutes with the help of a food processor. The recipe you see here is my base recipe for almost all my scones. Of course once in awhile, I’ll get over-indulgent and make them with a toffee and chocolate chip spin, but today I’m keeping it fruity with some mixed berries. And in case you are wondering if heating the cream then steeping the tea in it would extract more flavor — it doesn’t. These scones really do come together quickly. Mixed Berry & Jasmine Tea Scones Serves 6 to 8 Heat oven to 375°F. Place jasmine tea leaves in a coffee grinder or food processor, and process to a fine grind. Transfer the dough to a heavily-floured work surface and pat it into 1-inch-thick square. Recipe Notes
