1234 Cake w/Chocolate Frosting

I need to try this cake again. I thought I was being cautious with the bake time being 1 hour and taking it out at 45 minutes. Turns out that was about 5-10 minutes too long and likely got overbaked. The frosting, on the other hand, I don’t think I would reach for again. ItContinue reading “1234 Cake w/Chocolate Frosting”

Maple Custard

This custard was good but I do think it would be even better with half and half or cream instead of milk for added richness. The maple flavor wasn’t overpowering and if you wanted it to shine through even more you could use a little bit of maple extract. Overall I would consider trying thisContinue reading “Maple Custard”

Peanut butter candy

It goes without saying that if you like chocolate and peanut butter together you will enjoy this. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for them to set. I did find mine to be a little crumbly but they were so delicious and I plan on making these again. Peanut Butter Candy Ingredients 2Continue reading “Peanut butter candy”

You can refrigerate the dough or even freeze dough balls for later and just add an extra minute or 2 to the baking time.

Coconut Pie

This “pie” is along the lines of a baked custard. There’s no need for a crust because the filling gets brown on the bottom helping it easily come out of the pan. If you want more of a coconut flavor feel free to add in some coconut extract or even sprinkle some in some cinnamon.Continue reading “Coconut Pie”

Marshmallow Frosting

This frosting is delicious and sets like a soft marshmallow (as the name describes). The technique for this recipe is along the lines of an Italian meringue but with the addition of marshmallows giving it a nice stability. I will for sure be reaching for this in the future but will add a splash ofContinue reading “Marshmallow Frosting”
