Cinnamon Raisin Flake Apart Bread from The Vintage Baker

Often referred to as a “pull-apart” bread, a yeasted bread with lots of buttery layers of cinnamon sugar coated, raisin-dotted, yumminess is my idea of a breakfast good time. This recipe is from my cookbook, The Vintage Baker, and Oprah, yes that Oprah, was kind enough to include the recipe on her site and I […]

Pink Grapefruit Bars

Pink grapefruit bars might just be (one of) my new favorite things. I might not have been able to tell you, prior to yesterday, that I am a huge fan of a sweet, butter-y, crisp, but with a slight chew, crust topped with a creamy (and dreamy) tart, grapefruit-flavored “custard,” as it were, but I […]

Maple Pecan Biscotti

It’s true, peeps: I have a relatively ambivalent relationship with the majority of baked goods that one might describe as “crispy” and “dry.” But, lucky for you, I make an exception for biscotti. I made biscotti all the time when I worked at Baked, but had not done so in years. With so many amazing […]

Chocolate Valentine’s Day Sheet Cake with Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting

Honestly, Peeps, I could not be more excited about sharing this recipe with you, as it includes two of my favorites: one being chocolate cake and the other, marshmallow-like frosting (there’s a reason I loved Hostess Suzy-Qs as a kid and some things just never change). The cake here is essentially one-bowl (my fave) and […]

Coconut Chocolate Icebox Cake with Toasted Almonds from The Vintage Baker

Peeps, I won’t lie: I am on a bit of an icebox cake rager. And I don’t mean I’ve been partying a lot and stuffing my face with icebox cakes. I merely mean that I have been thinking about them a lot, making them a lot (click here to see me making my Neapolitan one […]

Crumb Topped Apple Pie

l know: apple pie in January seems a tad strange. Like maybe I’m just a few months too late. And yes, truth be told I developed this recipe for that little ole pie-holiday (aka thanksgiving). But you know what? It is so damn good, I’d even eat it in August (just don’t tell the seasonal […]

Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Revel Bars

Milk chocolate hazelnut revel bars, peeps. And by “milk chocolate hazelnut” I hope you know I mean Nutella . . . I first learned about “revel” bars in the June/July issue of Cook’s Country and I was instantly smitten. I had never heard of such a bar, and was intrigued. Essentially a revel bar is […]

Instant Pot Black Forest Bread Pudding

This recipe is basically the most beautiful union of two of my favorite things: my instant pot and bread pudding. I also happen to like chocolate, so there is that, too. The recipe is adapted from Coco Morante’s fabulous new cookbook, The Ultimate Instant Pot. This is her second pressure cooker book, and I have […]

Chocolate Babka

I think we can all agree that Zoe Francois (@zoebakes) js a mad genius. Her instagram feed will blow your mind and her how-to videos are the stuff of legends. Zoe also writes books with her pal, Jeff Hertzberg, about making homemade bread in five minutes a day. Their newest book, Holiday and Celebration Bread […]

Cinnamon Sugar Cranberry Bread

Cranberry season is kind of the best season. Or, at least it is up there. This simple cinnamon sugar cranberry bread is the perfect showcase for the tart bright beauties that you may have leftover from the sauce you just made for turkey day. This bread is the easiest to throw together and the tastiest […]
