Everyone should have a quick, simple recipe that can impress a crowd. You don’t always have enough time to make a bamboo cake, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for mediocrity. You shouldn’t have to settle at all, frankly.
This cinnamon swirl coffee cake hits the spot and bakes up in under an hour. It’s perfect for when you’re in a rush but aren’t willing to compromise on flavour. Really simple, but also jaw-dropping good.
I was in the grocery store a few days ago, shopping for wasabi, when I saw some pears. Boy, did they look good. They were firm, yet delicate. And, for some reason, they looked like they would be really juicy.
I didn’t buy them though. I bet you thought I bought them. No. I did not buy them. They were organic. I bought the one’s right next to them, for half the price and double the size, and then I made this wonderful tart.
Tirami sù literally translates from Italian to “pick me up”, a metaphor for “make me happy”. I can definitely understand why. With cocoa, espresso, and a touch of Marsala wine, tiramisu well definitely make you happy. Maybe even a little too happy.
I’ve only had tiramisu once or twice before, and I wasn’t particularly fond of its flavour. With a really strong coffee taste and curdled mascarpone cream, tiramisu just didn’t sit right with me. Then I found out it’s not supposed to be that way and everything changed.
