Strawberry Charlotte Cake
I have been wanting to make one of these for a while but was a little intimidated. It looks super fancy, but despite the assembly it was actually fairly easy. I did make my own ladyfingers and I was a little nervous about this particular recipe since it was a one-bowl recipe that uses whole…

Eclairs
I made eclairs a few years ago and they didn’t quite turn out. We had some friends over who wanted to learn how to make them so he and my husband had a little tutorial. While I didn’t actually make the eclairs pictured I “oversaw” the whole process to ensure quality control (😉) and making…

Orange Butter Cake
Another fun Downtown Abbey bake and honestly felt way fancier than the effort required. I made these mini upside-down orange cakes, and they looked (and smelled) like something you’d serve at a tea party, but the recipe was super straightforward. You start by prepping your ramekins and lining the bottoms with brown sugar, melted butter,…

Scones (& Clotted Cream)
I’ve made scones a lot, but somehow I’ve never made plain scones. What better place to start than a recipe from Max Miller that’s similar to ones used around 1915. We also decided to make the clotted cream too just for the fun of it. Before I talk about the scone recipe I’ll start with…

English Toffee Shortbread
The Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook is a lot of fun and shoutout to my aunt for buying it for me. I should probably be drinking tea with some of these bakes, but so far all of the ones I’ve tried have been pretty good. This recipe was so easy, and shortbread is quickly climbing the ranks as…

Deep Dish Molten Chocolate Coffee Blondies
This one came together super fast and felt like the perfect little treat to bake when you want something warm and chocolatey but don’t want to deal with a whole batch of cookies. I didn’t do anything fancy—just grabbed a couple of ramekins and got started. You start by browning some butter, which only takes…

Oreo Tiramisu
This recipe was super easy and I love that it makes a small portion. I didn’t want to use the little ramekins I had so I ended up just using a small serving bowl I had. Start by making the tiramisu filling and it comes together pretty easily. You start by whisking egg yolks and…

Zucchini Cheese Pancakes
This is actually a recipe I was going to do for the last Baking Through the Alphabet series and I actually did make it then, but ended up posting another recipe. These however, have become a staple in the freezer as they’re super easy to make and taste really good. Start by beating the eggs…

Yogurt Cake
This is another bake I almost made the last time I did the Baking Through the Alphabet series and thankfully I had it saved. I had actually heard about this cake first in the Bringing Up Bebe book as it’s mentioned as something french mothers teach their kids to make early. I love that idea…

Xangos (Mexican Cheesecake Chimichangas)
X is always a hard one during these Baking Through the Alphabet series but I found this while researching recipes and it intriguied me. I could not find the Philadelphia ready-made cheesecake filling the recipe called for, so I ended up making my own. It was delicious and I could have (and did) eat it…
