I had two fabulous recipes up on The Kitchn this week. Both cakes. Both sumptuous. I have a serious weakness for cake, chocolate being my favorite, but my passion for all other flavors, a close second.
In my Breakfast with a Blogger Column, I had the pleasure of sharing a stellar breakfast cake, from Big Girls Small Kitchen, infused with layers of marmalade, cardamom and pistachios -- it's equally nice for afternoon tea -- actually, it's perfect any time of the day (it's pictured above). Phoebe and Cara pen a sweet and sassy cooking blog and have their first cookbook coming out in only two weeks. These girls are my NYC friends to-be, I can feel it. I hardly know them, but adore their work and vibe all the same.
My other culinary endeavor yielded a strange and delicious dessert -- Chocolate Chip Cookie-Stuffed Yellow Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. I clearly have issues. Read all about this cakeball/cookie/cupcake progeny over on the post.
It's been a Leela-inspired week for me: I've made good on mangoes - not only did I eat 4 last week, I also had an amazingly good mango lassi with cumin in it! Also, I painted my fingernails with gold sparkles.
ReplyDeleteAnd that first cake, oh! Marmalade, cardamom and pistachio together sounds almost too good to be true.
