Move over Poppy Seed Pound Cake, there’s a new favourite in town! This Vanilla Bean Malt Cake is hands-down the best thing I’ve made from Baked Elements so far. Is it the malt powder? The liberal pour of vanilla bean paste?  The bourbon? Yes, yes and yes. But one more thing: it was so FLUFFY!......

Blueberries have really gotten the short end of the stick here on Planet Byn. I’m not really sure why, as I can remember baking various blueberry cakes over the past few summers, but I haven’t blogged about them, or ever done a blueberry series here. That’s ending this week! It might have something to do......

A few months ago, my little niece Charlotte told me she wanted a Penguin Cake for her birthday. I had started to think a little bit about how I would execute this, when my brother asked me a few weeks ago if I would make her cake this month for her birthday party with her......

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......

It’s not what you think! Try to get that song out of your head. This was my 5-year-old nephew’s request for his birthday cake this year, or more specifically “a wrecking ball wrecking a building”. It has nothing to do with you-know-who, and everything to do with his love of trucks, construction sites and dirt......

I’ve been giving Tres Leches Cake the side-eye for years now. In theory, it always sounded good: a vanilla sponge cake, soaked with a mixture of three different kinds of milk, topped with whipped cream. In reality, I was convinced it was actually just a soggy mess, and I think I’ve bought the stuff to......

The first time I made this cheesecake was either 2002 or 2003. I think I made it for Easter and it was an absolute disaster. I remember it leaked all over the bottom of the oven, resulting in a smoke filled kitchen. I remember the mangoes I used weren’t quite ripe enough, which I didn’t......

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......
