AiB: Craggy Flourless Chocolate Cake

Part of the Adventures in Baking (AiB) series. Original recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/craggy-chocolate-cake/recipe.html?dishid=10332 I kinda liked it! It’s a different texture, but a really nice flavour. It’s crisp on the outside but light—almost like a souflé—on the inside. I think the texture would be even better if I had the 8″ pan. You’ll notice in the picture [...]

AiB: Oreo Chocolate Truffle Tart with Chocolate Glaze

Part of the Adventures in Baking (AiB) series. Original recipe: http://gracessweetlife.com/2011/04/oreo-chocolate-truffle-tart-with-chocolate-glaze/ This was delicious! I used a 9″ pie pan because I didn’t have an 8″ tart tin. It’s much faster to make than the Chocolate Mousse Cake, but still satisfies much of the chocolate craving. It gives a nice smooth texture and rich flavour. [...]

AiB: Mini Boston Cream Pies

Part of the Adventures in Baking (AiB) series. Original recipe: http://gracessweetlife.com/2011/03/mini-boston-cream-pies/ Well the sponge cake tastes good, though I baked it a little thin. The pastry cream recipe didn’t work at all, though that’s at least partly my fault. I overcooked it. In my own defense, the recipe does say to boil the milk, but [...]

AiB: Cookie Dough Dip

Part of the Adventures in Baking (AiB) series. Original recipe: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/12/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-dip/ Yuck! I’m afraid this recipe does not succeed. I don’t like cream cheese much, so I ran it by Adele and Ellen (both big cheesecake fans) and they didn’t like it either. We even let it sit for a couple days, but it didn’t [...]

AiB: Butter Cookies Redux

Part of the Adventures in Baking (AiB) series. This is the second time I have made butter cookies. Because I have used so much butter lately, and I was making three different recipes with butter today, I thought I’d use margarine and see how it went. Well they still taste great, but the texture is [...]
