Summer Peach Cake

July 17, 2010

If you can muster the inner peace to not explode when you turn on the oven, you should definitely make this cake. Granted, the 100+ temperatures make summoning the will to add heat to your home that much more masochistic, but like I said: if you can find that inner namaste, this cake is a [...]

The Only Lemon Cake You’ll Ever Need.

June 29, 2010

I suppose I could call it Lemon Pound Cake as the Hamptons goddess did, but this title is more to the point. Once you make this lemon cake, it’ll become the one. The. One. (Unless you’re one of them crazy types who can’t ever make the same thing twice…but I don’t know any folks like [...]

Rebecca’s Red Velvet Birthday Cake

October 12, 2009

What cake to bake for the girl who bakes birthday cakes? Back in September, we had our friend Rebecca over for dinner right around her 25th birthday, so I decided to make her a birthday cake for dessert. Problem is, Rebecca’s basically known for her cakes and cupcakes. She makes them all the time, and [...]

Cordon Rose Banana Cake

September 26, 2008

When I was a kid, my dad ate bananas a lot. He bought them when they were green, ate them when they were yellow and even when they had lots of brown spots, and when the rest of us finally managed to convince him that the last of the bunch was really way to overripe [...]
