Ciasto kruche z rabarbarem i kruszonką Jedno z tych ciast, które zaczynamy piec wiosną i pieczemy do końca jesieni, wymieniając tylko owoce. Bardzo smaczne, bardzo też kruche (warto je nakładać na talerzyki łopatką, by się nie kruszyło). Nie za słodkie. Składniki: 2 szklanki mąki pszennej 1/2 łyżeczki proszku do pieczenia 1/2 szklanki cukru pudru 185 g masła 3 duże żółtka 1 łyżka gęstej kwaśnej śmietany 1 kg rabarbaru 6 łyżek cukru 1/2 szklanki dżemu truskawkowego (użyłam dżemu z borówki, do dostania w Ikea) Kruszonka: 185 g mąki pszennej 100 g cukru 125 g masła cukier waniliowy (1 opakowanie) Makę przesiać z cukrem i proszkiem do pieczenia, dodać pokrojone na kawałki masło i dokładnie posiekać. Piekarnik rozgrzać do temperatury 180ºC. Rabarbar obrać, umyć, osuszyć i pokroić na 1 cm kawałki. Przygotować kruszonkę: mąkę wymieszać z cukrem i cukrem waniliowym. Przestudzone ciasto posmarować cienko dżemem, wyłożyć na nie odsączony rabarbar, posypać łyżką tartej bułki i na końcu posypać pokruszoną kruszonką. Smacznego :)

How to Make a Rose Apple Tart I love pie. Love it. LOVE it. For flavor, it can't be beat, in my opinion. No finer dessert around. But even I have to admit it has a more humble, rustic appearance than a fancy cake. I was inspired by classic French apple tarts. This was more of a technique than a recipe, really, but I'll list out the ingredients I used, too. Rose Apple Tart Recipe single pie crust recipe Four or five large apples, sliced thinly 1/3 cup sugar 1 t cinnamon 2 t lemon juice 2 T butter, melted First thing's first: make your dough. Press the dough into your tart pan and brush with melted butter. Pin It Next up, core and slice your apples. Use this technique for coring your apples. Pin It Slice your apples thinly.

Magic Custard Cake Update! A Chocolate version of this magic custard cake. Get the Chocolate Magic Custard Cake Recipe Here When I saw a magic custard cake recipe on Pinterest two weeks ago, I was floored. I mean, it left me in a state of delicious shock that something so simple could create an incredible piece of dessert.

I wanted to call this a Magic Custard Cake and after a search on Google, I realized that there were many variations of this classic “Magic Custard Pie” already being shared from kitchen to kitchen. So, to make up for all the years of being void of this wonderful magic custard cake, I inhaled two slices in one sitting. Truly a magical piece of cake, this dessert is to not too sweet (which I love the most) and is loaded with a wonderful middle layer that’s soft and custard-like. love, diane Ingredients:
German Chocolate Cake: Inside-out My sister celebrated a birthday recently, and since we both believe that sending a card or present across the country for this event is necessary, I’ve been trying to think of other ways to celebrate. You know — it’s the thought that counts sort of thing. Two years ago, I posted a tribute to her. Last year, my husband and I held a candle and snapped a photo in mid, “Happy Birthday to You…” and this year? I thought I’d make her a cake. When I first thought of this, I really didn’t think she liked any type of cake, but I asked to make sure. Not only did I get a response from her, I got three: Angel food, German Chocolate, and cheesecake with coffee. Really? Another surprise was finding out there’s nothing actually German about this cake. My search for the perfect recipe sent me to David Lebovitz’ site first, but after a quick scan of the ingredients listed, I realized I didn’t have buttermilk. The problem I had with that recipe was the Dutch-processed cocoa. So guess what? Seriously.
Caramel Tart-Caramel Tarts-Chocolate Tart-Chocolate Tarts-Pasta Frolla Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 8th July 2011 When I finally decided on Lemon Meringue Tarts for the holiday weekend I knew I would have to offer another choice because not everyone in my family is a fan of citrus desserts. It didn’t take me too long to decide on the other option because everyone in my family loves chocolate. I decided immediately to pair the chocolate with luscious caramel. I also wanted to add a few different textures and flavours. I present to you pure indulgence, Chocolate-Caramel Tart – crispy, hazelnut sweet short pastry with four layers of goodness – caramel, toasted hazelnuts, dark and milk chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate glaze. I could have stopped with the dark and milk chocolate ganache layer but the chocolate lover in me took over. Wow! The classical pairing of chocolate and caramel is one of my favourites but adding toasted nuts brings any dessert to another level for me. I wish the kids enjoyed the pairing as much as I do.

Cinnamon Roll Cookies Alright all story telling aside, the cookies have a crisp edge with chewy crumb and a soft crackle from the glaze.

My Baker’s Crush: BAKED (and The Whiteout Cake) Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I have a huge baker’s crush. Huge. As baking enthusiasts, I imagine many of you already know, love, and adore the popular baking cookbooks by famed BAKED bakery boys, Matt Lewis & Renato Poliafito: Baked: New Frontiers in Baking . I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I am just discovering them now . . . yes, that is unthinkable, considering this little thing I call my addiction to baking and blog! If you aren’t familiar with them, I’m excited to introduce you to their awesomeness, and to give you the gist: Matt and Renato left their careers in advertising to open their dream bakery, BAKED, in Brooklyn, NY in 2005. So here’s my first-ever BAKED cake — The Whiteout Cake, from their first book. I was really drawn to The Whiteout Cake because, yes, I adore vanilla, but, the truth is, I have a wee, tiny obsession with the colour white. A big thank you to Matt & Renato for sharing their amazing recipe with us! Yield: 1 (8-inch) cake For the white cake layers

Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles I am not eating sugar this week. Well, I haven’t caved in yet:) So far, so good! I just need a week to detox a little. I am still eating fruit, but no desserts and that means no cookies. Gasp! Well, just because I am off sugar doesn’t mean that you have to feel deprived. During the holidays, I made Monique’s Brown Butter Snickerdoodles. I decided it was time to take the snickerdoodle to another level by adding caramel and sea salt. That GREAT snickerdoodle just got transformed into a cookie that is off the charts. The cookies are soft with a nutty brown butter flavor.

Hawaiian Carrot Cake with Coconut Icing Happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week, and for some of you, today is actually Friday, since tomorrow is Good Friday, which likely makes your week even better. It’s definitely a crazy time around our house, with my working feverishly on some wedding projects, Reese’s 4th birthday coming up on Monday, my typical baking adventures, and, well, just life as a mom of 2 small kids leading into a busy family-packed Easter weekend. I’ve been baking like crazy, and was really looking forward to making a really delicious carrot cake for Easter . . . I love carrot cake! The cake is a tropical version, including silky coconut cream cheese icing sandwiched between layers of pineapple-infused carrot cake. These tropical flavours paired so well with the traditional carrot cake qualities, and I really love the thin layers — I feel like that quick slicing of the two layers into four adds a beautiful element to it, and why not? The yummiest! Hawaiian Carrot Cake with Coconut Icing Ingredients
