Rum Cake
August 23, 2014
I don’t know what style rum cake this is – it’s the kind my mom used to make – which I grew up making every holiday season for probably hundreds of people, but I never had the recipe (I could have called and asked for it, but I’m pretty sure it involves cake mix and […]
Orange Chiffon Cake – With Olive Oil
February 16, 2013
This recipe has evolved from a recipe in the CIA cookbook, and a Bittman cookbook, and an Alton Brown recipe – to the point that it’s become its own thing. It is very versatile – it makes great cakes, and great cupcakes. This recipe makes a lot, but the cakes keep well in the freezer. […]
Gâteau Saint Honoré – Saint Honoré Cake
January 15, 2013
Gâteau Saint Honoré is a traditional French/European dessert. Saint Honoré is the patron saint of bakers. A quick note, about the scale of the one I made – it looks like a croquembouche because it needed to feed ~10-12 people. Normally these seem to be smaller (2-4 people) – but making more of them. This would make a […]
Buche de Noel – Chestnut – bûche de noël

This is another multi-step cake. There’s still time to make one for Christmas (or just because it’s a log. Log, Log, It’s big it’s round it’s wood.) Much like opera cake, it is made in a sheet pan or jelly roll pan. Prep 1 half sheet pan (15×12 inches the biggest you have in your […]
Puncs Torta (Punch Cake)
November 6, 2012
AKA Punch Cake. I’m not Hungarian, but a friend of mine is, and she just moved to the same city as me, and it was her birthday. So I decided to give this cake a try. It looks amazing, and I love European layered cakes, like Opera Cake, and since at one time Austria & […]
Opera Cake
October 10, 2012
This is probably my favorite cake – which is also a multi-step process. Usually this is made as two large (half sheet) pans, but that is a lot of cake – so this is a smaller version. Prep 1 half sheet pan (15×12 inches the biggest you have in your home kitchen) by coating it […]
