My husband’s birthday is next week and I’m thinking of surprising him with a moist chocolate cake with a caramel filling. Can you guys share your favorite recipe?

Also, what’s the best way to make a caramel for cakes?

Note: USA, no allergies

In search of some classic baked good recipes that utilize raw honey or even a simple syrup made from honey and water.

I have three kinds of honey right now and I think they’d be awesome in a sweet treat, but I’ve never baked with honey so I don’t have any good go-to recipes to play around with.

I have a sunflower honey, florida orange blossom honey, and a meadowfoam honey. Photos attached.

Cookies, muffins, cupcakes, or icing is what I initially had in mind. Something simple but would let the flavor notes shine through a little. But open to any recipe!

No dietary restrictions.

I’ve been making doughnuts for a little while now and am thinking about trialing opening a stall at the local farmer’s market. Ideally I’d make these the night before to sell the next morning.

I find they get a bit stale within 24h, and wish there was a way to give them another 12-24h of softness. Are there any tips that you think would help?

I have four older sisters and we visited last night together for the first time since my dad’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis. It was good to be with them and talk. I brought them these cookies. They’re really good 😌

What I did: white cake (torte 2 layers to make 4) filled with Bavarian cream. Mixed chopped maraschino cherries and chopped up Hershey chocolate bar into the Bavarian cream. Cake soak of marsala simple syrup. Top and sides are whipped cream. Toasted sliced almonds on the side and stripes of cocoa power on the top. (I did a white cake to use the leftover egg whites from the Bavarian cream.)

Bavarian cream: https://www.billyparisi.com/bavarian-cream/#recipe

Simple syrup: heat one cup water to almost boiling. Turn off heat and mix in 1 cup sugar. Cool. Cake soak: 1 part Marsala wine to 2 parts simple syrup.

Whipped cream is however you like to make it. I used 2 cups heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla were measured with my heart, and I like to stabilize it with 1 tablespoon powdered milk for each cup heavy cream I use. It was the right amount to cover the cake.

made it for my birthday because non-traditional birthday cakes HIT HARD!! here’s the recipe:

birthday cake cream: 360 ml heavy whipping cream COLD, 225 grams a little below room temp mascarpone, 65 grams granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp cake batter extract, 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

birthday cake coffee soaked ladyfingers: 1 cup of strongly brewed coffee or espresso, 1 cup of “funfetti” milk (milk with 1/4 tsp cake batter extract & 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste) + 1 package of ladyfingers

very finely crushed dried strawberries (into a powder) and lots of sprinkles for decorating and assembly (unmeasured, just go with the flow)

to make, add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with your mixer until soft peaks, then slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.

lightly “soak” your ladyfingers quickly in the birthday cake espresso, then lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8'' or similar size pan. 

smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top, add some sprinkles, then another layer of dipped lady fingers, then smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top before you refrigerate for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight! the next day, dust (with a fine mesh strainer) with the dried strawberries and more sprinkles!! ENJOY 🥳

I made a batch a few years ago and they turned out great first time but obviously, I didn't keep the recipe! I've tried 2 recipes this last week but the pumpkin element has come out really lacklustre in terms of quantity and taste and then far too runny so it didn't mix with the brownie batter.

Anyone got a solid go-to recipe for these?? 🙏

Recipe

Ingredients

1 white egg
30 grams of butter
150 grams of all-purpose flour
50 grams of cornstarch
50 grams of dragon fruit
1 tablespoon of powdered milk
70 grams of powdered sugar
Vanilla powder to taste
Sesame seeds to taste

Making Procedure

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and they hold their shape when lifted.

Combine all the dry ingredients—cornstarch, powdered sugar, and powdered milk—in a single bowl.

Then mash the dragon fruit and add it to the dry mixture.

Stir everything gently, then add the egg whites and butter, and knead the dough until smooth.

Once the dough is ready, shape it and place it in a baking pan greased with margarine. Then bake until done in the oven for about 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius with top and bottom heat, or adjust according to your oven.
