Biskvit – 3 Ingredient Russian Sponge Cake
Simply put, it’s also just a very simple sponge cake. I absolutely adore this dessert as I don’t think there’s anything easier in the dessert world to make! But it tastes so comforting, the addition of apples takes it to a whole new level. Look at how moist it looks, […]
Carbonara
If done right, a delicious combination of flavours and textures. This recipe here contains a trick on not scrambling the eggs, but rather forming them into a delicious flavourful luxurious sauce to coat your pasta.
Apple and Cabbage Salad
What a beautiful combination of flavours. It’s one of those dishes that has more complex and exciting flavours than it looks. This recipe is absolutely a keeper.
Pancakes
These are my favourite pancakes. I now realize there are different types of pancakes. Some pancakes are a bit dry but fluffy. I prefer these moist and slightly chewy in texture pancakes. So easy to make and delicious.
Comforting Shepherd’s Pie with Cheesy Cheese Curds
Also known as Cottage Pie. I make my version with cheese curds instead of regular shredded Cheddar. Just so much more fun and comfort this way. I have another version where the pie is firmer and could be cut up into uniform squares. This recipe here creates a more luxurious […]
French Macarons
So lately I’ve been trying to focus on narrowing down our favourite recipes. Rather than having hundreds of favourites, making the top 20-30 “family favourites” and making them more often, and as a result creating memories/traditions around those recipes. I definitely was hoping French Macarons wouldn’t be that family favourite. […]
Brownies. THE Brownies.
This is not a new recipe. It’s been around forever across various publications. And there’s definitely a reason for that! They are fantastic. My husband describes them as “toasties” – with tender fudgy inside and marshmallowy and toasty outside. These brownies are pretty much the same recipe as my other […]
The Best Chocolate Cake recipe - The Original Iconic 1886 Chocolate Buttermilk Cake, a recipe that’s stood the test of time and influenced countless modern creations.
While many recipes tweak proportions or add elements like espresso powder, they all share the same core formula of this Legendary 1886 Creation; which uses ingredients like buttermilk, cocoa powder, and hot coffee. This recipe was developed over a century ago and has evolved into various forms, becoming the foundation for many modern recipes. Let's take a moment to celebrate this legendary cake! The recipe with my own tweaks and tips can be found on my blog food400.com
Secrets to the Perfect Chocolate Cake 🍫✨
Measure Correctly: Spoon flour and cocoa into measuring cups and level off—never scoop! This prevents a dense cake.
Bloom Cocoa Powder: Hot coffee or water mixed with cocoa in the batter unlocks cocoa's full flavor and richness.
Room Temp Ingredients: Make sure eggs, buttermilk, and butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even rise.
Don’t Overmix: Combine wet and dry ingredients gently to keep the cake light and airy.
Use Soaking Syrup: Brush layers with simple syrup for extra moisture and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The Right Leavening: Use the exact amounts of baking soda and baking powder. Too much can cause the cake to rise quickly and then collapse; too little, and it’ll be dense.
It’s fascinating how a single recipe has stood the test of time and evolved, but it’s important to acknowledge its origin and history.
