This is hands-down the best recipe I’ve made so far from Baked Elements. It’s a simple pound cake with three* twists to keep things interesting: Cream cheese in the batter, which keeps things nice and hydrated, with a little bit of tang Aggressive poppy seed filling that uses 1/2 cup of poppy seeds Brown butter......

When you see a Baked layer cake on the Baked Sunday Morning schedule, you really have to evaluate your life and decide if you have time to bake it, and can fit it into your schedule. It also helps to find a family event or someone’s birthday on your calendar to give you an excuse......

I usually love quiche; buttery, flaky crust, rich custard, and delicious filling combinations. Unfortunately this quiche was not for me, and was borderline inedible. I re-read the recipe both during and after baking just to make sure I made it correctly. I did. It’s gross. My Mom and I ate this for lunch today and......

Almost eight years ago, I made my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding cake (you can read about that little adventure here). It was carrot cake, and I haven’t eaten it or made it since! The recipe I used was from Anna Olson, and it’s perfect. It’s dense and hydrated and has pineapple in it as well.......

This is the second Baked Sunday Morning in a row where I was nervous about the recipe. I’ve never made a soufflé before, and actually now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one before either. The only thing I knew was that they’re notorious for deflating or sinking if you’ve......

I was a little nervous about this week’s recipe.  A few weeks ago Matt posted an interview with one of the recipe developers he and Renato work with for their cookbooks, and she specifically name checked these cookies as the most difficult recipe she has developed for them. Uh oh. It turns out they weren’t......

  I never order Crème Brûlée when I’m out, but I know people who must have it if they see it on a menu. Sure, I like it, but it’s not something I ever crave, or feel the need to make at home. Of course, for this week’s Baked Sunday Morning, I made an exception. I......

While the rest of my Baked Sunday Morning friends are making a truly terrifying Banana in a Blanket cake this weekend, I decided to make something a little easier. The Banana in a Blanket is a roll up cake, and I’ve never made one before and didn’t really feel like taking that on today.  So......

Bale Bars. Otherwise known as: No-Bake White Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars. That’s a lot going on for this simple looking bar. They’re incredibly sweet, and I have to admit I’m not sold. I feel like they would be a better combined with something else; maybe layered on top of brownies (like these), or......

This week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe is a Chocolate Whiskey Tart from the Booze section of Baked Elements. Some of the recipes in this chapter call for whiskey and some use bourbon, which let me to the following question: wtf is the difference? I did some google research, and my conclusion can basically be summed......
