Matcha Strawberry Coffee Cake

This Matcha Strawberry Coffee Cake came from a video I saw of Justine Snacks making a matcha coffee cake that looked and sounded very good. She kept it traditional with cinnamon filling, but I felt a little bit of strawberry would be a nice addition! Putting matcha in coffee cake seemed pretty ingenious. I think…

Brown Butter Cherry Chocolate Cookies

I’m still trying to use up ingredients in my pantry. This is, perhaps, a never-ending, always-losing, sort of battle, but I do think I am making headway! This recipe used up the bag of dried cherries, and I’ve not got too many niche ingredients left. Slowly but surely, my pantry will be at a good…

Old Fashioned (Cocktail) Shortbread Cookies

I have beef with the NYT Cooking section. They are behind a paywall about 90% of the time. Just give me ads! I’m not paying you! There’s so much free baking information on the internet that if I can’t access one specific recipe, I’m going to figure it out myself. Which is what happened with…

Orange Chocolate Ice Cream

Thanksgiving 2024: Butterscotch Apple Pie with Dutch Crumb

Lemon Almond Cookies

This recipe was inspired by two things. 1) Levain Bakery made a lemon chip version of their famous cookie, and they were just asking to be replicated. And 2), I’ve been making Orgeat Sparkling Lemonade from Joy the Baker’s Instagram quite a bit this summer. I’ll include the recipe for it below, but it’s a sparkling lemonade…

Corn, Blueberry, and Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream Cake

It seems that some things I bake just never find their way onto the blog. I’ve baked Christina Tosi’s Blueberry and Corn Sheet Cake numerous times, and my mom has made it as well. It’s become a well-known cake in our family. But it’s always been eaten too fast, or just never been photographed. It…
