Molten Chocolate Cakes

February 13, 2020 by pamflo

As the snow falls lightly but steadily, I’m in my kitchen baking away. In anticipation of Valentine’s Day, it was necessary to break out a favorite indulgent dessert, incredibly oozy-gooey and delicious! There’s nothing as wonderful as the aroma of a cake baking, especially one with chocolate and espresso. Espresso powder is perfect for baked goods as its more concentrated and has a deeper flavor than regular coffee granules. Just a teaspoon will give a richer flavor to your chocolate recipes, […]

Olive Oil and Orange Cake

March 2, 2017 by pamflo

I’m unapologetically a cookbook collector, but I also spend plenty of time reading foodie magazines, and surfing the net for recipes too. The one consistent part of my on-line recipe use, is that I read the comments that accompany a recipe. This is how I know what changes to consider, whether an oven temperature needs tweaking, substitutions, or general appeal of a recipe. For example, when a few comments consistently say to reduce the amount of sugar as it did with this recipe, […]

Slice of Apple Spice Cake

Apple Spice Cake

October 6, 2016 by pamflo

Apples are symbolic in the Jewish religion at this time of year. Crisp apples slices are dipped in honey with hope for a sweet New Year. There are many apples varieties that are plentiful right now. I bought three different types of apples with no plan in mind. Award winning pasty chef, Joanne Chang has a delicious apple cake recipe that is a perfect festive dessert. This cake is moist, not too sweet and the chunky apples pieces add a […]

Lemon Blue Bread

Lemon Blueberry Cake

May 19, 2016 by pamflo

  I tried a few new recipes this week, with my son Lucas working as my intern and sous chef. This is one of the first recipes we baked. The start of blueberry season is here and they’re large, sweet and bursting with flavor. A Harvard study showed that over time eating blueberries can slow memory decline. Also high in vitamin C and fiber, they’re a true “superfood”. This blueberry loaf cake is mildly sweet, tart and divine. The blueberries sank to the bottom of the cake […]

Coconut Almond Cake

Coconut Almond Cake

April 30, 2015 by pamflo

There is nothing better then the aroma of a cake baking. It makes the house smell sweet and welcoming. I had the baking bug today and decide to try my hand at a gluten-free cake. This is a simple cake that is light and moist, without being dense. With a cup of coffee or tea, it is the perfect snack. 3/4 cup unsalted butter ( 1 and 1/2 sticks) 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 […]

Flourless Chocolate Cake

September 13, 2013 by pamflo

  This is a dense, chocolaty and delicious cake. There is no flour (and no sugar) in the batter for those who follow a gluten-free diet. I made this recently for my family with some fresh whipped cream and it was a huge hit. 8 large eggs, chilled 1 pound of bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate, chopped 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch chunks 1/4 cup strong coffee ( I used decaf) Confectioner’s sugar or cocoa […]
