  • Who else is obsessed with pairing cocktails and desserts? I feel like each can raise the next to a whole new level. ⠀ ⠀ An Old Fashioned isn't the first beverage that comes to mind for me when pairing with sweets. But the orange bitters and the aroma from the freshly peeled and twisted orange skin really infuse it with a citrus freshness even though it's a very spirit-forward drink.⠀ ⠀ I took that smell for inspiration in the Bourbon Old Fashioned Upside Down Cake-I wanted it to remind people of an Old Fashioned-so much so that they would want one to go with a slice 🥃🍰⠀ ⠀ I knew I had gotten it right when one of my sisters tried it and told me, “I don’t know if this is supposed to go with an Old Fashioned, but it would go great with one.” ⠀ ⠀ You can grab the link to the recipe (which includes an Old Fashioned recipe in the notes section 😉) in my profile. ⠀ ⠀ I'm off to San Francisco later today for First Bloom: Spring Cocktails of the Farmers Market and I'll definitely be thinking of more amazing cocktail and dessert pairings while there 😋⠀ ⠀ What's the best cocktail and dessert pairing you've ever had?⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #springbaking #saveurmag #bakeandshare #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #thebakefeed #thefeedfeedbaking #sweetcuisines #thesugarfiles #marthabakes #thefeedfeed #f52food #shareyourtable #imsomartha #foodblogfeed #eattheworld #bakeit #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #bhgfood #mycommontable #bareaders #rslove #megiswell #meganwellsphotography #eattheseasons #imbibegram #drinkoftheday
  • Cross section of an Angel Food Cake Cupcake with 7 Minute Frosting and some blackberry compote 😋⠀ ⠀ You can find the link for the recipe in my profile but here's the recipe for the blackberry compote since the one on the blog is a strawberry compote:⠀ ⠀ 5 cups blackberries⠀ 1/2 cup vanilla bean sugar⠀ 1/4 cup blackberry flavored or blackberry infused brandy⠀ 1/4 cup orange juice, or to taste⠀ 1 teaspoon orange zest⠀ pinch of salt⠀ ⠀ Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes or until the fruit is soft.⠀ ⠀ Puree in a high-speed blender until smooth. ⠀ ⠀ Pour into a fine-mesh sieve, using a spoon to push the compote through. You won't be able to get rid of all the blackberry seeds, but you'll be able to greatly reduce their amount.⠀ ⠀ Taste and adjust the sugar or citrus levels if needed. Let cool to room temperature before filling the Angel Food Cake Cupcakes.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #springbaking #saveurmag #bakeandshare #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #thebakefeed #thefeedfeedbaking #sweetcuisines #thesugarfiles #marthabakes #thefeedfeed #f52food #shareyourtable #imsomartha #foodblogfeed #eattheworld #bakeit #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #bhgfood #mycommontable #bareaders #rslove #cupcakesofinstagram #angelfoodcake #megiswell #meganwellsphotography #eattheseasons

  • You should make these Multigrain Waffles for the weekend 😋⠀ ⠀ 2 eggs, yolks and whites separated⠀ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract⠀ 1/3 cup whole spelt flour⠀ 1/3 cup millet flour⠀ 1/3 cup oat flour⠀ 1/4 teaspoon salt⠀ 1 teaspoon baking powder⠀ 1 tablespoon coconut sugar⠀ 3 tablespoons vegetable oil⠀ 3/4 cup buttermilk⠀ ⠀ In a glass or stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Set aside. ⠀ ⠀ In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites. Don’t worry if the batter is lumpy, that’s a good thing. ⠀ ⠀ Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you let your waffle iron preheat. ⠀ ⠀ How much batter you use will depend on the size of your waffle maker. I have an American-style waffle maker that makes four squares at a time. I drop a 1/4 cup batter into the center of each square. ⠀ ⠀ Close the lid and remove the waffles when the timer goes off or the waffle appears golden brown across the top and steam stops streaming out from the sides of the waffle iron. Serve. ⠀ ⠀ To freeze the waffles, first, let them cool completely. Once cool, wrap each individual waffle in plastic wrap. Then either wrap two in foil or place them in freezer ziplock bags. ⠀ ⠀ Take a waffle out of the freezer when you want one and reheat it in the waffle iron for 3 to 5 minutes or when it is crispy again and heated all the way through.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #bakeit #thebakefeed @thebakefeed #thefeedfeedbaking @thebakefeed.baking #thefeedfeed @thefeedfeed #sweetcuisines #thesugarfiles #shareyourtable #imsomartha #marthabakes #heresmyfood #cookit #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #bhgfood #saveurmag #mycommontable #bareaders #vscocook #f52 #cookcl #cookinglight #sunsetmag #bonappetite #realsimple #rslove #saturdaybrunch #megiswell #meganwellsphotography #foodphotographyandstyling #wafflesunday

  • Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout Cake. The recipe is the same as my Cayenne Chocolate Cake with Goat Cheese Buttercream recipe but with a few changes:⠀ ⠀ I used Dutch-processed cocoa powder, replaced the oil and milk with mayo, & added a stout 🍺😋⠀ ⠀ 2 cups sugar ⠀ 2 eggs, at room temperature ⠀ 1 cup mayonnaise ⠀ 1 tablespoon vanilla extract ⠀ 1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour ⠀ 3/4 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder @valrhonausa ⠀ 1 teaspoon baking soda ⠀ 1 teaspoon baking powder ⠀ 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder ⠀ 1 and 1/4 teaspoon Morton Kosher Salt ⠀ 1 cup stout: I used @belchingbeaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout*⠀ ⠀ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 9-inch round baking pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Dust the sides with flour. ⠀ ⠀ Beat the eggs and the sugar together with an electric or stand mixer on medium-high speed until thick and light in color, about 4 to 5 minutes. ⠀ ⠀ Add the mayonnaise and vanilla extract and beat until combined. ⠀ ⠀ Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt and beat on low until combined. ⠀ ⠀ Heat the beer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s near boil, pour it into the cake batter and beat on low until incorporated. ⠀ ⠀ Pour evenly into the two prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. ⠀ ⠀ Let the cakes cool ten minutes in the pan and then remove them and let them cool on wire racks. Let them cool completely before frosting them. ⠀ ⠀ Frosting: 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup stout, 4 cups powdered sugar.⠀ ⠀ Beat the butter until fluffy then beat in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and stout. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #bakeit #thebakefeed #thefeedfeedbaking #thefeedfeed #sweetcuisines #thesugarfiles #f52food #thekitchn #shareyourtable #imsomartha #marthabakes #foodblogfeed #heresmyfood #eattheworld #cookit #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #foodstyling #bhgfood #saveurmag #mycommontable #bareaders #vscocook #valrhonausa #belchingbeaver #cakegram #foodphotograph #thefeedfeedchocolate
  • I love taking pictures of moody mushrooms 📷⠀ ⠀ Mushrooms are super popular right now and I've been seeing and hearing so many different and creative ways they are being used.⠀ ⠀ My sister and her husband went on a weekend getaway and visited @backyardforestville and had a seasonal mushroom ice cream that they've both labeled the best they ever had, which makes me insanely jealous 😂⠀ ⠀ While I don't have anything THAT interesting on my blog, I do have a Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Garlic and Ginger recipe that I love to put on top of congee or in spring rolls. Recipe link is in my profile!⠀ ⠀ Would you eat mushroom ice cream? I would 😋⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #eater #eatersf #f52grams #SFguide #bestofbayarea #bayareafoodie #sfeats #sffoodie #eattheworld #foodandwine #lifeandthyme #eeeeeats #saveurmag #mycommontable #tastemade #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #bareaders #vscofood #theartofslowliving #rslove #realsimple #cntravelereats #edibleeastbay #restaurantphotography #igsanfrancisco #sfchronicle #foodphotograph #foodphotooftheday #meganwellsphotography
