Cranberry-Orange Pound Cake

November 30, 2021 by Kaitlin Leave a Comment

This one-bowl cranberry orange cake is perfect for holiday baking. Adapted from a favorite from The Kitchn, this easy recipe requires just one bowl and an electric beater. To make the orange flavor really shine, be sure to really work the zest into the sugar using your fingertips. This is a great trick for any…

Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake

April 17, 2018 by Kaitlin 2 Comments

Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out. Often — fortunately — I’ll get over it. Sometimes, however, I wait myself…

Work – {Sticky Grapefruit Rolls with Grapefruit Cream Cheese Glaze}

January 31, 2016 by Kaitlin 1 Comment

Sticky Grapefruit Rolls with Grapefruit Cream Cheese Glaze. Pillowy soft like a cinnamon roll, but fruitier!

I stopped wearing makeup recently. While it’s true that I’m trying to take better care of myself, that had absolutely nothing to do with it. It didn’t help my skin clear up, and it didn’t help me save time getting ready in the morning. It was because, for the first time in my life, I’d…

Spent – {Strawberry Tarts with Honey Balsamic Goat Cheese}

July 4, 2015 by Kaitlin 9 Comments

Strawberry Tart with Honey Balsamic Goat Cheese. Easy and impressive party appetizer.

It’s 4:30 and I’m leaning heavily on the kitchen counter. My skin is radiating heat in regurgitated sunshine, an unglamorous exodus of energy leaving me as I lay halfway sprawled across the formica. There’s no weight left on my feet, and, even still, my left heel feels like it’s going to split. Taking stock of…

Babysitter – {PB&J Pie with Strawberries, Cinnamon, & Peanut Butter Pie Crust}

June 25, 2015 by Kaitlin 16 Comments

PB&J Pie. Strawberries and cinnamon in a unique peanut butter pie crust. Cool twist on a classic!

I had been careful to select her favorite from the four fruit spreads that the family kept in their fridge: a jar of freakishly perfect looking strawberry jelly, wholly devoid of character and happiness. I held it carefully as I perused the pantry, searching for a jar of peanut butter that hadn’t been marked with…

Road Trip – {Chocolate, Pretzel, Peanut Butter, Dulce De Leche, Banana Insanity Tart}

May 27, 2015 by Kaitlin 8 Comments

Chocolate, Pretzel, Peanut Butter, Dulce De Leche, Banana Insanity Tart

With most of my neighbors at work or school, no one’s around to witness the Tetris game unfolding in my driveway. A battered suede bag hangs heavy on my left shoulder, balanced by an oversize tote on slung over the other, all rounded out with a stack of pillows sandwiched awkwardly against my chest. Stiff,…

Modifying a fav chocolate cake recipe into somethi Modifying a fav chocolate cake recipe into something a little more my own. Brown sugar. Greek yogurt. Espresso. Pretty darn good. Continuing with the speckle theme from the last cake too because it’s just so darn fun to do. 

I was terrified to submit my cakes to the oven after the revisions I made to the recipe I was working from. They turned out perfectly, which was a huge relief considering the amount of bizarrely cratered cakes I’ve been turning out lately! That frustration put a bad taste in my mouth, so I sought out other hobbies as a reprieve. I fell back into knitting, which felt great, but it’s very time consuming 😉 I knocked a couple sweaters off my list on Ravelry and have a couple more I want to make. 

Relatedly, I know I’ve shared it before but here’s another friendly reminder that your local library probably grants you access to all sorts of virtual classes via a free app. Whether you want to learn how to work with fondant or sew a bra, there’s plenty of exciting new hobbies to explore.
The cranberry frosting on this cake is incredible The cranberry frosting on this cake is incredible but goodness gracious: the cake is absolutely not! I’ve made two yellow cakes in a row - different recipes - and they’ve both ended up with crazy tunnels like I’ve never experienced in my life. I was telling @meghan_splawn recently that I feel like I can’t get anything right until the third try these days, even things I have plenty of experience with (hello?! I can bake a cake!!). It’s driving me absolutely nuts. Tell me your favorite yellow cake recipe and help me break this curse? #f52grams #f52community #thebakefeed #weekendbaking #cake #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #thekitchn #instafood #bareaders #bakemore #williamssonoma #rslove #bakewithus #makemore
Stay-Soft Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls Cinnamon rolls a Stay-Soft Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls 

Cinnamon rolls are like new cars. The second they leave the oven, their value begins to drop immediately. Really: a cooled cinnamon roll is just…. Not that great. But this @kingarthurbaking recipe gets around that by cleverly incorporating tangzhong (cooked flour and milk), ensuring a soft, pillow texture much longer than traditional cinnamon rolls. Swipe to the last slide to see how soft the rolls are even hours after baking. I can personally attest that they’re excellent even the next day 😉 

I recently finished one of those massive 7-oz containers of cinnamon - before the expiration date! - which felt like some sort of life achievement. Baking these seemed like a great reason to bust into a new container of Ceylon cinnamon 💪
