Nutella-Swirled Peanut Butter Chip Blondies Recipe

2016-04-03T09:17:00.000-07:00

Yield: one 8x8 pan, 9 to 12 generous squares
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: about 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
1 large egg
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips (chocolate chips may be substituted)
about 1/3 cup Nutella (Homemade Peanut Butter or Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter may be substituted)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
Add the flour and stir until just combined, don't overmix.
Stir in the peanut butter chips.
Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
Evenly add and swirl the Nutella. To create the marbled pattern shown, drizzle Nutella over batter in 5 wide, evenly spaced, parallel lines, each spanning the length of the pan. Like 5 rows of long train tracks. Rotate pan 90-degrees. With a toothpick, starting at the top of the pan, "draw" 4 or 5 evenly spaced lines through the Nutella. You're dragging the toothpick perpendicularly through the first set of lines to create the marbling.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Bars shown in photographs were in 90F Caribbean heat and humidity, and very soft and melty. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Double Chocolate Black Forest Cake

2014-06-14T08:30:00.001-07:00

Chocolate Cake

2 cups sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup soured milk (just add a tablespoon of lemon juice or plain vinegar to a cup of milk)
1 cup black coffee
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes.
Pour into 2 greased and floured (or dusted with cocoa) 9 inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. When completely cooled, split the two layers into four with a sharp serrated bread knife.

Whipped Chocolate Ganache

To prepare the filling/frosting, melt together in a double boiler

3 cups dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream

Stir constantly over a gentle simmer in the double boiler, just until melted and smooth throughout. You do not want this mixture to get hot, it should be just at the melting point and only lukewarm to the touch.

Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whip to firm peaks:

2 cups whipping cream

Add the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture in four portions, folding gently after each addition until the whipped cream is completely incorporated into the chocolate.

At this point you will probably have to chill this frosting for a half hour or more in the fridge if it is too soft to work with. Just give it a quick fold with a rubber spatula every 10 minutes so that it cools evenly in the fridge.

Vanilla Whipped Cream

2 cups whipping cream
4 rounded tbsp icing sugar (powdered sugar)
2 tsp vanilla extract

Whip together to firm peaks.

1 pound ripe fresh cherries, pitted
chopped chocolate for garnish

To construct the cake, split the two layers of cake into four using a sharp serrated bread knife. Place the first layer of cake onto the cake plate and cover with a little of the vanilla whipped cream followed by the next layer of cake. Spread a thin layer of the whipped chocolate ganache on this layer and place a layer of pitted cherries on top followed by more whipped ganache to completely cover the cherries.

Add the next layer of cake, more of the vanilla whipped cream and the final layer of cake. Frost the entire outside of the cake with the remaining whipped ganache frosting and place another layer of pitted cherries on top of the cake. Garnish with borders of vanilla whipped cream and with chopped chocolate on the sides.

Lemon Marshmallow Coconut Cake

2014-06-14T05:39:00.001-07:00

There are 5 elements to prepare for this cake; a vanilla cake, lemon syrup, toasted coconut, lemon curd and marshmallow frosting.

Vanilla Cake

1 1/2 cups cake and pastry flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Cream together until fluffy:

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar

Add, one at a time, beating well after every addition;

4 eggs at room temperature

Beat in

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Gently fold in the dry ingredients in three equal portions, alternately with

1 cup undiluted evaporated milk

When adding dry and wet ingredients alternately in any baking recipe, always begin and end with the dry ingredients.

Pour batter evenly into 2 well greased and floured 9 inch cake pans. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch it carefully, you will not want to overbake this cake, as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pans for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon Curd

In a mall saucepan combine:

6 lightly beaten egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
zest of two lemons, finely minced

Cook slowly over medium low heat for about 10 minutes stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.

1/2 cup butter cut into small pieces

Stir in the butter a few pieces at a time until completely smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely in the fridge.

Lemon Syrup

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Simmer slowly together for about 5 minutes. Cool completely.

Toasted Coconut

On a cookie sheet, sprinkle

1 cup unsweetened dried coconut

Bake at 350 degrees for only a few minutes, tossing every couple of minutes until the coconut turns golden brown. Watch the coconut closely, it can burn very easily and quickly.

Marshmallow Frosting

4 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
3 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
½ cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water

In a small saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer or when a teaspoonful of the mixture dropped into ice water forms a soft ball that holds its shape when cool.

Whip the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla extract to soft peaks in a large bowl. With the mixer on medium high speed, slowly begin to pour the sugar syrup down the side of the egg white bowl in a thin continuous stream. Continue to whip the frosting until it forms stiff peaks.

Frost your cake immediately with this frosting while it is still slightly warm as it is easier to spread smoothly than if allowed to cool completely.

To assemble the cake, split the two cake layers horizontally to create 4 layers of cake. Place the first layer on a cake plate and brush with 1/4 of the lemon syrup. Spread this layer with 1/2 of the lemon curd and top with a second layer of cake.

Brush the second layer with 1/4 of the lemon syrup and top this layer with some of the marshmallow frosting. Top with another layer of cake and brush this third layer with 1/4 of the lemon syrup. Spread the remaining lemon curd over this layer and top with the remaining cake layer. Brush this final cake layer with the remaining lemon syrup.

Spread the remaining marshmallow frosting evenly over the sides and top of the cake. Finally press the toasted coconut onto the entire surface of the cake and serve.

Strawberry Custard Tarts...aka.Timtarts!

2014-06-13T14:29:00.000-07:00

Makes about 12 large tarts

Pastry

2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup soft butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1 extra large egg, lightly beaten

Cream the butter and sugar well before adding the beaten egg and beating for an additional minute. Add the flour and salt and mix just until a dough forms. Separate the dough into two rounds, wrap them in plastic wrap and let them rest in the fridge for about an hour before rolling out the dough ans cutting out circles with a large biscuit cutter or something of sufficient size for the tart pans you are using. Chill the pans in the fridge for about 20 minutes before stabbing several holes in the bottom of each tart pastry and baking in a 400 degree F oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Vanilla Custard

Scald in the microwave or on the stovetop:

3 cups whole milk

Microwave works best as there is no chance of burning the milk.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan combine:

1/3 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt

Over medium flame slowly add the scalded milk whisking constantly.Continue to cook over medium heat until mixture begins to slightly thicken. At this point remove from heat and pour about a half cup of this mixture onto

3 slightly beaten extra large egg yolks

whisking constantly. Pour the egg mixture immediately back into the pot, continuing to constantly stir. Cook for an additional minute or two until pudding consistency and remove from the flame.

Stir in:

4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp good quality vanilla extract

Cool completely in the fridge.

To Construct the Tarts

Place a whole strawberry in the center of each pastry shell. Transfer the custard to a piping bag or just a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. In a circular motion, starting at the base, pipe the custard all the way around the strawberry to completely conceal it. Next, place strawberry halves on top of the custard all over the surface of the tart.

At this point, you can brush a little strawberry glaze on the strawberry halves if you like.

Strawberry Glaze

1/2 cup strawberry jam
1 tbsp water

Microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, and brush over the strawberry halves on top of the tarts.

Cheesecake Rum Truffle Strawberry Cheesecake

2014-06-12T09:02:00.001-07:00

Strawberry Compote Topping

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup sugar

Combine in a saucepan and bring to a very gentle boil. Thicken with

1 1/2 tbsp corn starch dissolved in
¼ cup cold water

which is added to the strawberries while stirring gently. Boil gently for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly. Cool completely for several hours in the fridge.

Cookie Crumb Crust

In a small bowl, combine:

1 1/3 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup melted butter

Press into the bottom of a lightly greased or parchment lined 9 inch spring form pan. (Grease bottom only!) Parchment paper is ideal here because it makes it very easy to release the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan.

Cheesecake

Cream together:

3 eight ounce packages ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar

Add, one at a time

3 eggs

beating well after each addition. Add:

3 tsp vanilla extract

Finally blend in:

1 cup whipping cream

Pour over the prepared base and bake in a bain marie at 300 degrees F for 60-70 minutes. (Learn about using a simple bain marie by clicking here.) The cheesecake does not have to brown at all in order to be fully baked; the surface of the cheesecake should lose any shine when the cake is properly baked. It can still be slightly wobbly just at the center at this point.

Remove the cake from the oven and run a sharp knife completely around the edge of the pan. This will allow for the cheesecake to shrink as it cools and hopefully not crack (but who cares if it does? I am never bothered by a crack or two in the surface) Allow the cheesecake to cool thoroughly on a wire rack at room temperature. (NOT in the fridge). Refrigerate after fully cooled. Chill for several hours or overnight.

Rum Truffle Ganache

The rum truffle ganache is used to cover the cheesecake and to dip the strawberries.

2 cups dark chocolate chips (or semisweet)
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 tbsp dark rum, optional (or 1 tsp rum extract)

Melt together, just until smooth in a double boiler. Do not over heat. Just as it is melted remove from the heat. Dip in:

10 -12 large strawberries

Place the dipped strawberries on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper and chill until ready to garnish. Pour the remaining ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread very quickly and evenly over the top and sides with a flat spatula. Return the cheesecake to the fridge to chill again.

Vanilla Whipped Cream

2 cups whipping cream
3 rounded tbsp icing sugar (ie powdered sugar, confectioners sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine and whip until stiff mounds form. Using a piping bag (or a large Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off) pipe mounds of the vanilla whipped cream all around the border of the cheesecake, to form a sort of well for the strawberry topping. Spoon the Strawberry Compote Topping onto the center of the cheesecake and garnish with the chilled dipped strawberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Jam Cake with Caramel Chocolate Ganache

2014-06-12T08:43:00.001-07:00

Filled with spices, buttermilk, and jam, this moist cake has been in the baking repertoire of my husband's family for over a century. Although this particular recipe hails from Bowling Green, Kentucky, I found many other recipes for jam cake that originated further south. At first glance, I mistakenly thought the jam was merely a filling between the cake layers but to my happy surprise, the jam is actually an ingredient in the batter, creating a lovely berry hue to the cake and an even better berry taste. This down-home cake traditionally calls for a sweet caramel frosting, but I opted for a decadent caramel chocolate ganache. Make the ganache before you make the cake as it needs about 3 hours to firm up at room temperature (and is so much better when not refrigerated).

Ingredients

Pan

Three 8-inch round cake pans, greased and bottoms lined with parchment paper circles

2 3/4 cups (13 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups (17 1/4 ounces) jam, preferably blackberry, raspberry, or apricot
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (4 ounces) sliced natural almonds, toasted
Caramel Chocolate Ganache

Preparation

Center an oven rack and preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt, then whisk the mixture to ensure that the ingredients are well distributed.

In a small bowl, stir together the jam and the buttermilk.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until fluffy, about  5 minutes. As you make the batter, stop the mixer frequently and scrape the paddle and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Blend in the eggs one at a time, adding the next one as soon as the previous one has disappeared into the batter. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk mixture in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour. After each addition, mix until just barely blended and stop and scrape the bowl. Stop the mixer before the last of the flour has been incorporated and complete the blending by hand with a rubber spatula to ensure you do not overbeat the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans (there will be approximately 1 pound 4 ounces per pan) and smooth the tops. Bake in the middle of the oven until the centers are just barely firm when lightly touched, 32 to 34 minutes. Cool the cakes on a wire rack for 30 minutes before removing them from their pans. Once removed, continue to cool the cakes on the rack, top side up, until they reach room temperature. Leave the parchment paper on until you assemble the cake.
To assemble the cake, place one of the layers, top side up, on a flat plate or a cake board. Using a thin metal spatula, spread a thin layer of caramel ganache (a bit more than 1/2 cup) on top of the cake and out to the edges of the cake. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of almonds evenly over the ganache. Align the next cake layer, top side up, on top of the first one, and repeat with another thin layer of ganache and almonds. Place the final layer of cake on top of the cake. Frost the top heavily and the sides lightly with the remainder of the ganache. Lightly press the remaining toasted almonds on the sides of cake.
This cake is best stored and served at room temperature. In an airtight container, it keeps for up to 5 days.

Salted Caramel "Ding Dong" Cake

2014-06-12T08:38:00.001-07:00

Ingredients

Cake:

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup hot strong coffee
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs

Caramel ganache:

9 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/8 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and assembly:

1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Special equipment: Two 9"-diameter cake pans with 2"-high sides; a 9"-diameter springform pan

Preparation

For cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat cake pans with nonstick spray. Line bottom of pans with parchment-paper rounds; coat paper. Place cocoa powder and chocolate in a medium metal bowl. Pour hot coffee over. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla; set aside.
Whisk cake flour and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with chocolate mixture in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Divide batter evenly between pans; smooth tops.
Bake cakes until a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes (cakes will deflate slightly). Run a knife around pans to loosen cakes; invert cakes onto racks. Peel off paper and let cakes cool completely. Turn cakes over.
If needed, use a long serrated knife to cut off bumps or trim dome from top of each cake to create a flat, even surface.
For caramel ganache:
Place chocolate and salt in a medium bowl. Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium deep saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and cook without stirring, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until sugar is deep amber, about 9 minutes. Remove from heat and gradually add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir over medium heat until caramel bits dissolve. Pour over chocolate in bowl. Add vanilla; stir until mixture is smooth. Let cool slightly.
Place 1 cake layer in springform pan. Pour 1 cup ganache over. Chill until set, about 30 minutes. Cover remaining ganache and let stand at room temperature.
For filling and assembly:
Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small heatproof glass or metal bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes.
Pour water to a depth of 1/2" into a small skillet set over medium heat. Transfer bowl with gelatin to skillet; stir until gelatin dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from skillet. Set aside.
Place cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Using an electric mixer, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add gelatin; beat filling until firm peaks form.
Spoon filling over chilled ganache on cake layer in pan; smooth top. Gently place second cake layer on top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until cream layer is set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
Remove sides from springform pan. Using a knife or offset spatula, scrape off any filling that may have leaked out from between cakes to form smooth sides. Transfer cake to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Rewarm remaining ganache until just pourable. (Microwave in a microwave-safe bowl, or set a metal bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water until just warm, not hot.) Pour ganache over cake, tilting cake as needed to allow ganache to drip down sides and using an offset spatula to help spread ganache, if needed, to cover sides of cake. Chill until ganache is set, about 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Cover with a cake dome; chill. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
Sprinkle cake with flaky sea salt.

Gluten Free Chocolate Souffle Cake with Raspberry Fool

2014-06-12T08:26:00.002-07:00

Gluten Free Chocolate Souffle Cake with Raspberry Fool

Recipe by Barry C. Parsons

A gluten free dessert cake for any occasion, topped with a raspberry whipped cream fool, fresh raspberries and a drizzle of chocolate ganache.

Prep time: Approximately 30 minutes.
Cook time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: Approximately 3 hours including cooling time.
Yield: One 12 inch or two 9 inch round cakes.

Ingredients

1 pound + 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips(at least 50% cocoa)
1 cup unsalted butter
10 extra large eggs
1/2 tsp fine salt
3/4 cup sugar (divided into 1/2 and 1/4 cup)
1 tsp + 2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups + 2 tbsp whipping cream
4 tbsp icing sugar (powdered sugar)
2 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
1.2 cup sugar
1 tbsp corn starch

Baking Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 12 inch spring form pan and dust with cocoa. Line the bottom with parchment paper to easily release the cake when baked. (The cake can also be baked in two 9 inch round pans if you prefer.)
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler just until melted, set aside to cool almost to room temperature. Stir in the cocoa, vanilla and salt until smooth.
Separate the eggs and beat the whites to soft peaks. Slowly beat in the 1/2 cup of sugar to form a meringue. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Beat the egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until light and foamy and fold into the meringue along with the chocolate mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30-40 minutes or until the center of the cakes spring back when lightly touched. Cool in the pans for about 20 minutes before removing them from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack. NOTE: this cake will fall somewhat in the pans as it cools, this is perfectly normal for this recipe.
Prepare a raspberry coolis by simmering together the frozen raspberries and 1/2 cup sugar for about 15 to 20 minutes
Press the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. Return to the pot and simmer again.
Add a thickening slurry by dissolving the 1 tbsp corn starch in a little water. Add it to the simmering coulis, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool completely, stirring occasionally as it cools so that he surface does not solidify.
To prepare the raspberry fool, beat the 3 cups whipping cream, 2 tsp vanilla extract and 4 tbsp icing sugar together until firm peaks form.
Fold the cooled raspberry coolis through the whipped cream. You don't need to completely incorporate the coolis, just swirl it through.
Frost the top of the cake with the coolis.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of chocolate ganache if desired.
A chocolate ganache can be made by melting together the 2 tbsp whipping cream and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Apple Breakfast Muffins

2014-06-12T08:20:00.001-07:00

Here's a great weekend brunch baking idea that also makes a terrific alternative to the Monday morning quick granola bar breakfast if you have some left over. I think these are best served warm as a wholesome quick breakfast. These dense hearty muffins are very satisfying with very little added sugar or oil. The mashed bananas and grated apple keep these muffins particularly moist and a few seconds in the microwave to warm them make them just as good the next day.

Makes about one dozen.

Mix together and set aside:

1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup all purpose or 60% whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Beat together until fluffy:

2 eggs
4 tbsp vegetable oil
6 tbsp sugar

Blend in:

2/3 cup milk

Fold in the dry ingredients and when the flour is almost incorporated fold in:

1 cup mashed ripe banana
1 cup grated apple (approximately one large apple)

Do not over mix. Fold in only until the fruit is mixed through the batter.

Spoon into greased or paper lined muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 -25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes about 10-12 muffins.

The Pink Cake

2014-06-12T07:47:00.000-07:00

This is a Baker & Spice original and it's our most popular cake—loved by men and women alike! The buttercream frosting is tinted pink by a raspberry puree (not food coloring)—be sure to save your extra whites from baking the cake to make the frosting. The cake itself is a rich, moist chocolate cake. If you want a go-to recipe for all your chocolate cake cravings, this is the one.

Ingredients

Pan

Three 8 by 2-inch round cake pans, greased and bottoms lined with greased parchment paper circles

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (1 ounce) lightly packed premium unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa
3/4 cup boiling water
3/4 cup (6 3/4 ounces) full-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (7 1/2 ounces) firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
3 egg yolks, at room temperature
3 eggs, at room temperature
Raspberry Buttercream

Preparation

Center an oven rack and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Put the unsweetened chocolate and the cocoa into a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate and allow it to steep for 1 minute. Whisk the mixture together. Whisk in the sour cream and vanilla. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, then whisk the mixture by hand to ensure that the ingredients are well mixed.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars together on medium-high speed until light, about 3 minutes. As you make the batter, stop the mixer frequently and scrape the paddle and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. On low speed, drizzle the oil into the mixture until blended. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat until the batter is fluffy, about 3 more minutes. Blend in the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, adding the next one as soon as the previous one has disappeared into the batter. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the chocolate mixture in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour. After each addition, mix until just barely blended and stop and scrape the bowl. Stop the mixer before the last of the flour has been incorporated and complete the blending by hand with a rubber spatula to ensure you do not overbeat the batter.
Divide the thick batter equally among the prepared pans (there will be approximately 1 pound 2 ounces per pan). Smooth the tops and tap the pans on the counter to settle the batter and eliminate any large air bubbles. Bake in the middle of the oven until the centers spring back when lightly touched, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Flip the cakes out of the pans, leaving on the parchment paper until you assemble the cake. Let them continue to cool on the rack, top sides up, until they reach room temperature.
To assemble the cake, lay one of the cakes top side up on a cake plate. Using a metal spatula, frost the top with 3/4 cup of buttercream, spreading it out to the edge of the cake (the filling will be about 1/4 inch thick). Stack the second cake top side up on top of the frosted cake and spread another 3/4 cup of buttercream on top of it. Stack the last layer of cake top side up on top. Look for any frosting that may have oozed out beween the layers and spread it along the sides of the cake. Apply a thin layer of frosting all over the cake to create a "crumb coat." Place the cake in the refrigerator until the frosting is firm, about 10 minutes. Take it out and frost the cake with the remaining buttercream, using your spatula to make decorative swirls.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to  3 days.

Sugar Syrup to the Rescue At Baker & Spice Bakery, before frosting a cake we coat the layers with sugar syrup, which helps to keep the cake moist and adds flavor at the same time. This trick will also help to salvage a dry cake. To make a sugar syrup, combine 1/2 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or other flavoring (such as Kahlua or Grand Marnier) and stir until dissolved. Let the syrup cool, then brush a coat of it onto the top of each cake layer before you frost it.

Bourbon Pecan Bread Pudding with Butterscotch

2014-06-04T11:35:00.000-07:00

The bread used in this recipe should be the crusty, airy, country loaf variety. For local people - Wave Hill Bread Company's "Pain de Campagne" is the perfect choice. Cut the bread into 1" cubes and let it sit out on a baking sheet at room temperature overnight to let it stale. Alternatively, if you're pinched for time, you can dry the bread out in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.

For the Butterscotch Sauce:
1 cup {packed} light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon

For the Bread Pudding:
1 pound day old rustic white bread, cut into 1" cubes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons + 1 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
pinch of kosher salt
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 vanilla bean
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

For the Butterscotch Sauce:
1. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes, or until it's reached a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and whisk in the heavy cream and bourbon until smooth {the mixture will bubble up after adding the liquid}.
To Make Ahead: The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead. Let cool completely and store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use. Reheat before serving.

For the Bread Pudding:
1. Lightly grease a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish with butter; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the bread, melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar together for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the cream, poppy seeds and salt. Beat to combine. Slit the vanilla bean half length-wise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and bourbon to a small bowl and whisk vigorously to disburse the seeds. Add to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Add the pecans and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 1 - 1/2 hours, or the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with the Butterscotch Sauce.
To Make Ahead: The pudding can be baked several hours before serving. Cover with foil and re-heat in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Dad’s beef, mushroom & mustard pies

2013-06-15T01:08:00.000-07:00

Ingredients

· 1 tbsp vegetable oil

· 1 onion , chopped

· 300g stewing beef , cut into chunks, fatty bits and sinew removed

· 2 tbsp plain flour

· 1 tbsp mustard powder

· 1 tbsp tomato purée

· 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

· 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

· 2 thyme sprigs

· 500ml beef stock

· 140g chestnut mushrooms , quartered

· carrots and broccoli to serve (optional)

For the pastry

· 300g plain flour

· 2 tsp mustard powder

· 100g light suet

· 50g cheddar

· 1 large egg , beaten

METHOD

1. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 mins. Meanwhile, season the beef and toss with the flour and mustard powder. Push the onions to the edge of the pan and add the beef. Brown the meat, then add the purée and cook for 2 mins more. Add the remaining filling ingredients, except the mushrooms. Season, stir well, then cover and simmer for 2 hrs, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the mushrooms and cook without a lid until the mushrooms are soft and the liquid has reduced to a thick gravy, about 10 mins. Leave to cool while you make the pastry.

3. Tip the flour, mustard powder, suet, cheddar and ½ tsp salt into a food processor. Blitz until there are no visible lumps of suet, then dribble in all but 1 tsp of the egg (you'll need this for glazing the top) and enough water, 1 tbsp at a time, to bring the mixture together as a dough. Tip onto a floured work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Remove ¼ of the pastry, wrap in cling film and set aside. Divide the remaining pastry into 2 lumps, on a lightly floured surface, roll out to approximately 0.5cm thickness, and use each piece to line a 500ml pie tin, leaving some pastry hanging over the edges. If you want to cook the pies now, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

4. When the filling has cooled down, divide the mixture between the 2 cases. Roll out the remaining pastry and cut out 2 lids to fit, saving the trimmings. Brush the inside edges of each pie with a little egg, then press on the top. Trim the overhanging edges and crimp to seal. Brush the top of the pies with more egg and cut a small air hole in the top of each one. Use the pastry trimmings to decorate.

5. Put the pies on a baking tray, and bake for 45 mins until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is hot. Alternatively, cover the uncooked pies with cling film and freeze for up to 2 months. Cook from frozen at 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 for 1 hr. Serve with carrots and broccoli, if you like.
