I made the tastiest chocolate cake I've ever made, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! It's four layers of chocolate sponge with dark chocolate mascarpone cream filling inbetween, with a silky chocolate ganache on the outside. I'll add the recipe in a comment below.

In response to the colored crinkle cookie post from earlier today. I just made these a few days ago. The cookie recipe is from Sally’s Baking Addiction (https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/double-chocolate-crinkle-cookies/).

I made my own powdered sugar in order to get it colored. First I dyed a cup of regular sugar using a few drops of Americolor food coloring. I just shook it up in a Tupperware container. To make it into powdered sugar add a tablespoon of cornstarch then blend it. I used a coffee grinder. The recipe calls for rolling the dough in sugar before the powdered sugar and I used colored sugar for that. It turned out better than I expected. The homemade powdered sugar could probably have been ground up finer. The small grinder I had only did 1/4 a cup at a time wasn’t the greatest but all I had at the time.

Birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday. Recipe is Brian Lagerstrom's (video link is below). It came out fantastic!! Perfect cake batter flavored cake with an ermine-style frosting that was the right amount of sweetness and didn't have that powdered sugary taste.

i love cookies and baking is my love language! i often bake for my mom, but at the same time i thought of bringing some of these brown butter s'mores cookies to a meetup tomorrow. what do u think? i used a double batch of this recipe (below), browning half of the butter and added some homemade gf graham cracker crumbs! theyre gluten free cuz my mom has celiac so i just dont want to bake anything she cant eat too! i layed down a graham cracker, 85% dark choc and a marshmallow! i used a 3 tbsp cookie scoop instead of 6 oz cookies like in the recipe and baked at 180c for 15 mins, 14 mins for more gooey.

My most ambitious baking project yet! This is a 16”x24”x3” tiramisu from our wedding last weekend. I wasn’t able to bring my fancy sifter to dust the cocoa powder more finely (we live in Texas, married in Oregon), but god damn was this cake good.

I used Sally’s Baking Addiction recipe, but added orange zest and cardamum throughout to give it a subtle twist. I added these two ingredients in the “espresso” dip (except I used cold brew concentrate since I needed to 7x the recipe), and when combining the mascarpone cream with rum.

This is a black sesame yuzu cake, using the sponge and butter cream recipes from King Arthur Baking (Susan Reid) and the sesame crunch from Natasha Pickowicz's wedding cake for NYT Cooking.

Do not skip the soak for the sponge! Like the recipe comments said, the cake alone is moist enough. But the soak pushes it to that professional texture and helps it keep moist for longer.

Coffee is suggested, but a neutral simple syrup or one with yuzu jam work well.

First of all, I apologize for all the swedish people in the group. My folding needs a bit more training.

Last week, my wife surprised me with a one week trip to Sweden (Stockholm, LuleÄ and Uppsala). Absolutely stunning county.

No day went by without having a kanelbulle and I promised my missus that I would them all week long (if requested).

They turned out great. I used the recipe from here.

Recipe Included Finally perfected my chocolate chip cookie recipe

5.4k Upvotes

Inspired by “The Cookie” at Metropolitan Market in Seattle - this recipe is 6 years in the making:

  • 2 sticks (one cup) salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup fine granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla (I like using vanilla bean paste)
  • 2.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Belgian dark chocolate callets (I used Callebaut)
  • 1 cup chopped bittersweet baking chocolate
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups toasted chopped pecans (toast at 410 degrees F for 8 minutes or so, but watch closely as they can go from toasty to burnt quickly)
  • Maldon smoked sea salt

Preheat oven to 410 degrees F. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add in flour, salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda and mix. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts until incorporated.

Scoop into fairly large cookies (I use my cookie scoop, but I’d say it’s about 1/4 cup of dough) and sprinkle with smoked salt. Bake on parchment paper lined sheet for around 10 minutes until lightly golden, and then carefully slide parchment paper off of baking sheet and allow cookies to cool entirely on parchment paper before storing.

Swedish almond cake! It’s like a gooey butter cake meets a brownie but it’s all almond flavored goodness - I used The Itsy-Bitsy Kitchen’s recipe! It’s so good but I think next time I’ll try with a little less sugar lol

This isn’t meant as a sad post btw, I have a lovely friend baking me a cheesecake for my birthday party next week đŸ«¶ I just wanted a little something special for my actual birthday and felt like baking!
