Olympic Chocolate Muffins! (since the recipe is paywalled on WaPo)
Cool the muffins and ganache completely before assembly, about 30-40 minutes
Makes 12 muffins
Muffin Ingredients:
¾ cup (180 ml) whole or reduced fat milk
¼ cup (60 ml) water
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
½ cup + 1/3 cup (145 total grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks
2 cups (250 grams) AP flour
1 tablespoon baking powser
¼ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup (110 grams) packed dark brown sugar
½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) neutral oil
2 large eggs, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup (60 grams) chopped milk chocolate, plus more for topping
Ganache Ingredients:
2/3 cup (115 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
Directions
Position rack in the middle of the oven, preheat 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a regular sized muffin pan with liners.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, water, and instant coffee. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally.
Add cocoa powder and whisk.
Decrease heat to low, add ½ cup (85 grams) of the chocolate chunks and butter, whisk until melted and smooth.
Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
To chocolate mixture, whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture, whisk until incorporated
Add remaining flour, folding with a spatula until no streaks remain.
Fold in remaining 1/3 cup (60 grams) chocolate chunks and chopped milk chocolate, until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a ¼ cup scoop or measuring cup, divide batter among 12 muffin cups, filling to the top of the pan.
Sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top.
Transfer pan to oven, and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Start on ganache now
Let muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes, then use a knife or piping tip to cut an approximately ¾ inch wide hole in the center of each muffin. (use the centers as ice cream topping or eat now!)
Let muffins cool completely.
GANACHE: in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine chocolate chunks, heavy cream, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once muffins and ganache are completely cool, spoon or pipe ganache into the center of the muffin, until slightly overflowed. Serve immediately.

Cast iron loaf pan continues to be one of my favorite things ever, it consistently delivers perfect loaf cakes. In a perfect world my kitchen would have enough storage for cast iron pans of every imaginable size.
Recipe under cut, it’s basically the NYT Lemon Poppyseed Pound Cake but with some tweaks.
LEMON POPPY SEED LOAF CAKE
INGREDIENTS
zest of 2-3 lemons (the more the merrier)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk (1/2 cup milk + 1.5 tsp white vinegar or extra lemon juice, stir, let curdle 10 min) or sour cream
1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) lemon juice
3 eggs
1 3/4 cup flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup oil
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease 1 x 8-9” loaf pan.
2. Mix together lemon zest and sugar in a large bowl, stirring and smearing until the zest releases oils and the sugar is very fragrant and looks like wet sand.
3. Whisk in lemon juice, buttermilk, and eggs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
5. Whisk dry ingredients into wet. Whisk in oil and poppy seeds until smooth and combined.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour until a knife inserted in the center comes out moist but clean. Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
7. To make glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Taste and add more sugar or lemon as desired. Brush over cake while hot to get a translucent crinkly glaze look, or drizzle over when cool to get a clean icing look.
NOTES
- Can use batter to make muffins (fill cups almost all the way to the top). Double recipe for a bundt pan.
- Instead of glaze, can also boil together 1/3 cup white sugar + 1 Tbsp lemon juice. When cake is fresh out of oven, poke top all over with a toothpick and pour lemon syrup over to soak in.

Recipes by Vivi: Gamble’s Ganache & Cake
WELCOME! Absolute twist of a title but it’s his birthday so here’s a longer recipe! This was requested by ANON & @slasherbait and it’s inspired by James Gamble!
-Ingredients-
THE CAKE!
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour (LEVELED)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 TSP Baking Soda
1 TSP Baking powder
1 TSP salt
1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
2 LARGE eggs (room temp)
3/4 cup sour cream (room temp)
1/2 cup buttermilk (room temp)
2 TSP Vanilla extract
1/2 cup HOT coffee
FILLING!
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup PACKED brown sugar
3 large egg YOLKS
1 can evaporated milk
1 TSP Vanilla extract
2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
GANACHE!
5 oz semi-sweet chocolate CHOPPED
1/2 cup heavy cream
FROSTING!
1 container chocolate buttercream frosting (or homemade but I’m lazyyyy)
-Instructions-
1. Preheat your oven to 250°F and grease THREE 9-inch round cake pans then place parchment paper on the bottom, and grease the parchment paper as well.
2. (THE CAKE) whisk all the dry cake ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside. Using a medium bowl and a whisk mix together the cakes wet ingredients (EXCEPT THE COFFEE) together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the coffee and mix until no dry ingredients show and it turns into a batter.
3. Evenly divide the batter between the three pans and bake for 21-15 minutes (bake time varies so keep an eye out!) or until a toothpick inserted into each pan comes out clean.
4. (FILLING) While the cakes are cooling prepare your filling. In a medium sauce pan add egg yolks, brown sugar and evaporated milk and heat on medium until it lightly boils (stir occasionally) and slightly thickens (roughly 5 minutes). Take off heat and mix in the pecans, coconut and vanilla. Allow to cool completely.
5. (GANACHE) add the heavy cream and chocolate into a microwaveable bowl and microwave in 1 minute increments (stirring in between) until smooth
6. Level off the tops of the cakes using a serrated knife, place one cake on the plate or cake stand you’ll be using. Pipe a boarder on top the cake with your buttercream to prevent the filling from falling out. Spread half of the filling inside the boarder and place the second cake on top. Repeat the same process. On the top layer pipe the buttercream boarder however you’d like. carefully add the ganache to the middle. Top with more shredded coconut if desired! (IF YOU STILL HAVE LEFTOVER FILLING YOU MAY ADD IT TO THE TOP OF THE CAKE)
Enjoy!
—
IF THE FILLING IS OVERPOWERING I AM SORRY.

Clef Out Of Context
These come from people and myself in my awesome friend Gay’s server! Thanks @jack-of-amulets and @bleakbittersoul for your contributions to this chaos. This was originally concerning stuff it just says and spiraled into out of context completely. Warnings for gore and alcohol mentions!
"why? i don't really exist in the eyes of the law and i'm not human."
"I don't know American Laws"
"I drank a cup of gas once"
"I broke a leg. Just fixing it." After mentioning using hot glue and a knife, forgetting to specify it was a chair at first
"I support this. Not because I agree with you, but because i like skinning people."
at a restaurant “i would order the rawest slab of meat ever, but i wanna see this argument go down.”
"Think I caught rabies. Hoping not."
"i wonder if i could take my fingers off and put them back on."
"The amount of times I could’ve burned myself today on accident is funny"
“Hiding this alcohol in my ukulele case”
"I'm a scientist."
“We’re ordering Wendys, SCP style.”
"i grew my toe back once."
"it might be just a bit worse than i thought but i'm fine. i'm on my way."
"nothing duct tape can't fix"
"i wonder how much bodily harm crutches can cause."
"I love my gun"
"shoutout to murdering another child"
"i feel like you'd rob my grave either way."
"what if i bashed you against the wall until you were red mush but in a cute way?"
"You might have some fingerprints to clean off the amulet."
"It could be mistaken for liquid or something though" clef, talking about trees.
"I thought about putting redbull in my coffee once"
"I know you'd kill me in a good enough way to fit my standards."
"i like mixing cotton candy with insulation, fluffy trail mix."
"It's so sweet it makes my teeth itchy."
genuine terror “What the fuck is that thing?”
"my frozen dinner injured me yesterday."
"I don't mean to alarm you" camera pans to house fire
My hungry ass could never be a neurosurgeon.
"would you be mad if i said i was eating a toothpick right now?"
"it was only three bites."
"we can pelt bald people with them together."
"you're my shouldn't be allowed a phone."
"the worst you'll get is salmonella but that's easy to get rid of."
Bonus: One of these quotes wasn’t Clef, can you guess which one? I’ll doodle you something if you guess correctly!

Snake Eyes 1
Warnings: noncon coercion, manipulation. Proceed with caution.
Note: thanks all for reading and I hope you're excited for this one. All feedback is more than welcome and loved and appreciated. Reblogs are most helpful.
Part of The Club AU
The smell of citrus wafts in the air as you slice into a bright green lime. The juice dribbles on your gloves as you bring the knife down over and over through the bumpy skin. You gather it all up in your hands and put it in the metal container.
You peel off the plastic gloves and dump them in the bin, moving the tray to its place in the bar and putting the lid atop it. You continue your prep work, checking the olives and refilling the toothpick dispenser. Thor stands nearby, neatly lining the shelves with the shining clean glasses wheeled in from the kitchen.
Your first week is coming to an end. You’re finally in the routine of it. You find the pre-opening lull to be the most enjoyable time. The servers, the cooks, and bouncers drift in and hang around chatting as they get ready for doors to open.
You go to the other end of the bar to grab a jar of marischino cherry and pause. You can hear voices from the backroom. You try not to eavesdrop but it sounds rather heated. You can’t really discern the syllables but the muffled slam makes you flinch.
“Ah yes, my brother is having his weekly tantrum,” Thor muses as he spins and shoves a few pitchers onto the shelves beneath the bar. “Don’t mind him, he always is finding something to despise.”
You smile at Thor awkwardly. You only met his brother once. The very man who hired you after a brief interview. One which went by so quick, you’re certain he doesn’t even remember hiring you.
“He does take this all rather serious,” Thor chuckles as he straightens his collar, the points wide as his muscled chest peeks out. “Always a bit high strung. You wouldn’t believe he once worked where you do now. He bought out the owner and here we are.”
“Oh, yeah, somehow I can’t picture that,” you murmur.
Thor laughs again, a rumble like thunder, and grabs the empty cart. He wheels it towards the kitchen door as you walk listlessly behind the bar, checking that every tap is clean, every hose is in its place. Hinges whine and a door swings open loudly.
“Fuck you!” Danica bellows as she charges out of the backroom, “fucking asshole!”
You stop and watch her dumbly. Her long legs shine with bronzer as she stomps across the room, her beautiful features contortein anger. She’s one of the several or so bottle girls that serve the private rooms and wears the usual get up; tight black shorts and sparkly croptop. You wonder what’s got her so worked up.
“I fucking quit,” she hollers before she disappears down the stairs.
You watch behind her, stunned. Wow. You weren’t expecting that at all.
“Can’t quit if you’ve already been fired, darling,” Loki’s voice carries after her, tugging your attention back to the doorway. “Gods, these girls.”
You quickly put your head down and pretend to be busy. You check the limes, even as you’ve just put them away. He strides to the other side of the bar and sighs, his shadow watching you until you raise your eyes.
“Hello, sir,” you say, “can I get you something?”
“Martini,” he demands curtly, “dry.”
You nod and quickly go about making his drink. You present it to him in the stemmed glass with the olive and pickled onion skewered on top. He turns it slowly and admires your handiwork. His eyes crawl up and meet yours.
“Come,” he gestures you out from behind the bar, “right here.”
He steps back and sips from the glass.
“Sir?”
“Don’t make me tell you twice or you can follow the other one out.”
You wipe your hands on a towel and lay it on the lower ledge of the bar. You come around as he shifts to face you, keeping his lips on the brim of the martini. He sets it aside as you approach and gives you an appraising look.
“Hmm,” he steps around the stool and grabs your shirt. You cry out as he tucks it under, raising it up your stomach.
“What are you doing–”
“Hush,” he quiets you and grabs the top of your shirt, splitting it for a generous view of your cleavage. You’re too surprised to resist as he reaches around you and undoes the apron, dragging it away from your waist, “very well, you’ll do.”
“What?”
“I’m short a bottle girl, I’m certain you can handle pouring,” he tosses the apron over the bar. “Tips are better, anyhow.”
“But, I need–” You point over the bar.
“Consider it a promotion,” he interjects as he checks his watch, “I’ve some very special guests arriving in the Cobra Lounge soon.”
“Sir, I–”
“Figure it out,” he flicks away your protest, “or you might consider updating your CV.”

Eddie Munson Headcanons Pt 4
★My Masterlist
It's been a year since my last list sooo here's more. A few are a bit similar to older ones, but I like these better lol
[Pt 1] [Pt 2] [Pt 3]
Eddie takes great pride in being able to belch the ABCs forward and backward. He can’t do it consecutively, though. I mean, he could, but it makes his tummy hurt.
Don’t ask him about doing cartwheels. He’s never been able to do a proper one, and he doesn’t wanna talk about it.
If his pack of cigs is getting low, he’ll steal a couple from Wayne’s. When his uncle starts to catch on and questions his disappearing smokes, Eddie gaslights the shit out of him.
He takes the rules of calling shotgun to heart.
Eddie is a total adrenaline junkie and thrill seeker, but not toward things that would get him in major trouble. He isn’t intimidated by any roller coaster, no matter the size. He will ride it again even if he hurls; it doesn’t deter him in the slightest.
He has a small mole on his right side and another under his peck.
After brushing his teeth and rinsing his toothbrush, he always taps it against the rim of the sink 3 times.
As a kid, Eddie was a habitual lip licker. Petroleum jelly just wasn’t something that could be found in the trailer. Up until he reached his preteen years, he had a rash around his mouth during the colder months each year.
Double jointed in his left thumb and enjoys freaking out squeamish people with it.
Ambidextrous when it comes to writing and slapping the ham, but he’s predominantly right handed otherwise.
This isn’t news to those who read my writing: Eddie is a nail biter. Unfortunately, he bites his toenails too. Only after showering, of course. It’s not his fault he can’t keep track of the nail clipper.
He can also often be seen gnawing on a toothpick; something he picked up from living with Wayne.
Eddie is more of a cat person, but he likes dogs too. Bigger dogs, preferably. Regardless of the species, he’s a chin and butt scratcher. He loves whenever he finds the right spot on a dog that makes it thump its leg.
If anything spooks this man to his core, it’s dolls. ESPECIALLY My Buddy & Kid Sister (google it, you'll understand). Anytime the commercial comes on, he closes his eyes and waits until the next ad starts.
Not necessarily much of a prankster, but crop dusting his buddies never gets old.
Prefers rock paper scissors to flipping a coin, and he’ll only call best out of three when he’s losing.
Honks like a goose whenever he blows his nose.
If there’s furniture to stub his toes on, said toes will be stubbed… hard.
Slightly allergic to cinnamon, it makes his throat itchy.
Eddie believes that crunchy peanut butter is superior to creamy. His PB&Js are 80% jelly. He licks the knife clean before switching between jars.
[Pt 1] [Pt 2] [Pt 3]

Bird's Milk Cake
Chocolate Cake:
2⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
¾ cup dutch cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup boiling water
1 cup canola oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. instant espresso powder or 2 Tbsp. ground coffee
1¾ cup all purpose flour
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
¼ cup sour cream or buttermilk
Custard:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup hot milk
15 egg yolks
1¾ cup butter
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Lightened Custard:
1 cup custard
8 oz. whipped topping or 1 cup whipped heavy cream
Ganache:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Make the custard first. Combine 15 egg yolks and 1 cup sugar in a medium-sized pot and whisk until smooth. Slowly add 1 cup hot milk while continuously whisking. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring until it begins to thicken and covers the back of the spoon. When you run your finger over the back of the spoon, the custard should not run into wiped space. Add 1 Tbsp. of vanilla extract & stir. Do not overcook or the custard will curdle.
Add the butter to the custard and stir until butter is completely melted and incorporated into the custard. Cover with plastic wrap, touching the custard (to prevent forming of skin) and allow to come to room temperature.
While custard is cooling make the cake. In a cup whisk together 2 eggs, 4 egg yolks & 1/4 cup of sour cream. Set aside.
Make the espresso: If you have espresso powder, combine the espresso powder with the boiling water. Or brew 2 tablespoons of ground-up coffee with 1 cup water. Drain coffee and make sure there's 1 cup of liquid. If there's not, add enough to make 1 cup. Set aside.
Combine 2 3/4 cups sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp salt & 1 tsp baking soda with the espresso boiling water mixture and stir until almost no lumps appear. Cook over medium-high heat, constantly stirring until it comes to a boil. This step will make the darkest chocolate color it can be. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Add the chocolate mixture to the mixer and with beater blades, beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes to remove additional heat from the mixture. Add 1 cup oil & 2 tsp vanilla extract and beat until combined and smooth. Add 1 3/4 cups flour and beat again until smooth. Add the egg mixture and beat until just until combined.
Pour batter into two 9 inch round cake molds lined with parchment paper & sprayed with non-stick spray, or if you do not have the non-stick spray, butter the pan, add 1 Tbsp. flour then shake around to cover the pan, shake out the excess.
Put on wet cake strips around the pan.
Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If using an 8-inch cake mold, add 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the inside of the cake mold and unmold the cake by turning it over onto a cooling rack. Remove parchment paper and allow to cool completely. Cut each cake horizontally into 2 layers with a long serrated knife.
To assemble, line edges of the serving platter with 4 strips of foil for each cleanup. The pieces must be wide enough to go about 1/2 inch under the cake and cover the edges of the platter.
Take away about 1.5 cups of cream before you start to layer the cake with the remainder of it.
Place the first cake layer into the middle of the platter and tighten the adjustable cake ring around the cake. Add a couple tablespoons of the cream and spread it around.
Put the second cake layer on top, press it in, then alternate cream and cake until both are used up. You want your last layer to be the cake. Refrigerate the cake overnight.
The next day, combine the reserved 1 cups of custard with 8 oz of whipped topping or 1 cup of whipped heavy cream. Carefully fold both together until just combined.
Cover the outside of the cake in this cream in a thin layer, smoothing the top and sides. Refrigerate the cake for 15 minutes.
Fit a pastry bag with a french star tip. Fill it with leftover lightened custard. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the ganache by melting chocolate by pouring hot whipping cream over and stirring continuously. Pour the ganache over the cake carefully brining some of it close to the edges, allowing for it to drizzle down the sides.
Pipe stars all around the top of the cake going in rings starting from the edges and working towards the middle. Drizzle some ganache on top of the stars.

Briella’s Winterfest Baking 21: Birthday Cake
Sul Sul, Gerbits. Today is a very special day for the Flores-Ponder household. We are celebrating not one, but two birthdays. Yes, Christian and Christopher are aging up into children.
Today we are going to be making an Italian Cream Cheese Cake. They both looked at pictures online and decided that this was the cake that they both wanted and because we wanted them to have two cakes, I am going to be making two of the same cake.
For the cake you are going to need:
butter
shortening
sugar
5 eggs that are separated
vanilla
flour
baking soda
buttermilk
shredded coconut
chopped nuts.
The recipe will be down in the description below, with the measurements.
For the frosting, you will need:
cream cheese
butter
confectioners’ sugar
vanilla
more chopped nuts.
The recipe calls for pecans, but I made this cake with walnuts and it tasted really really good.
The first thing you are going to do is preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You need to grease and flour three 9-inch baking pans. I used two cake bans. But just remember that this recipe is designed for 3 baking pans, so the baking time is going to be longer.
Grab a large bowl, you are going to cream the butter, shortening and granulated sugar until it is light and fluffy. You are going to beat in the egg yolks and vanilla.
Combine the flour and baking soda, in a separate bowl, add this to the creamed mixture; alternatively with the buttermilk. Beat mixture until just combined. Stir in coconut and the chopped nuts.
In another bowl, you are going to beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Slowly fold in one-fourth of the egg whites into the batter. Then fold in the rest of the remaining whites. After the egg whites are mixed into the batter, you are evenly going to pour it into the prepared pans.
Bake the cakes until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean. For three layers the recipe says it is going to take 20-25 minutes. If you have two layers it is going to take approximately 40-45 minutes. After the cakes come out clean you are going let them cool in their pans for 10 minutes. After that you are going to put them onto a wire rack so that they can cool completely.
Now onto the frosting. Gerbits, you need to beat the cream cheese and butter together until it is smooth. Beat in the confectioner's sugar and vanilla until fluffy. You are going to stir in your chopped nuts. You are going to spread the frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake. And refrigerate it before eating. That way the cake is cooled before eating.
This was a lot prettier than the carrot cake that I did a while ago. Either way, both of these cakes were fun. I am having a lot of fun doing this Winterfest baking. Even though Winterfest is over, I feel like I am going to be making a lot of baking videos in the future. I hope that you enjoy and have fun watching these videos. I hope to see all you lovely Gerbits next time! Vadish, Dag Dag!

A Bagginshield Cookbook
Recipe #3
Lobelia's Spiced Yule Cake
Despite the fact that Lobelia never got along with Bilbo, she took a strange liking to Thorin when he moved to the Shire. She would often (and much to Bilbo's chagrin) bring him gifts of food, including her famous Spice Cake. Thorin immediately fell in love with the cake, which prompted Bilbo to actually go to Lobelia and ask her for the recipe. She absolutely refused to share it with him, and so he stormed off in defeat.
Still, as a Yule gift that year, Lobelia gave Thorin himself the recipe, making him swear on his honor not to share it with anyone, Bilbo included. To his credit, Thorin respected her wishes, ushering Bilbo out of the kitchen whenever he prepared the cake. And though the first few times he had done so Bilbo huffed and fussed, eventually he accepted that to either make Thorin share the recipe with him or to sneak a peek while it was being prepared would not only be dishonorable, but also would damage Thorin's trust in him.
However, over the next year (and with Thorin's help), Lobelia and Bilbo's relationship improved somewhat, and when the next Yuletide came around, she at last gave Thorin her blessing to share the recipe with Bilbo.

Please feel free to take the recipe and distribute it as you like; no credit is necessary.
Lobelia's Spiced Yule Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup buttermilk (see note)
Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8- or 9-inch cake pan (or line with parchment paper).
Beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined. Sift in the four, baking soda, and spices; mix until just combined. Add the buttermilk and mix on low until no flour streaks remain.
Turn batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until surface is golden and a toothpick or butter knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar.
Note: If you don't have buttermilk on-hand, you can simply put 1 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice into a measuring cup and fill up the rest of the way to the 1/2 cup mark with milk or half-and-half, then let it sit for about five minutes.
Note #2: You may want to adjust the spices for your liking, as one teaspoon of each may not suit everyone; and also, you might like to try other spices (such as cloves) as well!

Trick or treat!!
My first trick or treater!!
Hi poncho!!
I decided I'm going to give out recipes this year.
Banana Bread
Ingredients
½ cup melted unsalted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
1 cup pecans, chopped
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup buttermilk or sour cream
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (best if like brown and mushy- you can put them in the fridge/freezer to speed up the process)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
Whisk together the flour, pecans, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon,salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana.
Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. If its lumpy, its fine but dont overmix.
Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter.
Bake for about 1 hour or until browned and when a toothpick/knife is inserted, it comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely.
(you can make this nut free by just not putting in the pecans. Walnuts also work if you don’t have pecans.)

Butter Pecan Cupcake with Caramel🧁
Ingredients:
For the Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
For the Caramel Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Buttercream Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions
Prepare the Caramel Filling:
In a small saucepan, melt brown sugar and butter over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Toast the Pecans:
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Make the Cupcake Batter:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
Fill and Bake:
Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Core the Cupcakes:
Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake, creating space for the caramel filling.
Fill with Caramel:
Spoon the caramel filling into the center of each cupcake, filling them generously.
Make the Buttercream Frosting:
Beat softened butter in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Frost and Serve:
Pipe or spread the buttercream frosting onto each cupcake. Optionally, garnish with a few chopped toasted pecans for a finishing touch.

1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into the cup
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) of butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons apple juice
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to sprinkle on the top of the cake batter

Winter Solstice Recipes
With the winter solstice fast approaching, I thought I would share some of my favorite recipes to make! Some of them were originally found on websites, but I changed them up to suit my own needs just a bit!
Quick note before we begin: this will most likely be my last post until the New Year, as I will be with family for the most part. I will still reblog and like content, but there will be no original content from me. Thank you for your understanding!
Warm Winter Soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine
2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, shredded
1 tomato, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups of chicken broth (any broth works)
1 teaspoon of salt and pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon of dried parsley
1/2 tablespoon of dried thyme
1/2 tablespoon of dried rosemary
Juice if 1 orange or 1/2 cup of orange juice
2 cups of milk
1 bay leaf
Steps
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine and sauté the onions for 5-10 minutes.
Add the carrots, potatoes, broth, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Add the orange juice, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf.
Purée the soup in a blender or food processor. Alternatively, use a hand blender.
Stir in the milk, mixing well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Yuletide Cider
Ingredients
1 gallon apple cider
2 cups lemon juice
½ cup honey
½ cup sugar
2 oranges
1 apple, peeled and diced (honey crisp is recommended, but any is useful!)
2 tablespoons ginger or to tastes
2 tablespoons nutmeg or to taste
2 teaspoons chamomile or to taste
2 cinnamon sticks (optional!)
Steps
Pour in apple cider, lemon juice, honey, and sugar in a large pot on medium heat, while mixing carefully. Stir until the honey and sugar dissolve.
Cut the oranges into slices and put them in the pot.
Add the diced apple.
Add the ginger, nutmeg, and chamomile.
Allow to simmer for about 2-4 hours.
Pour into a cup and add the cinnamon sticks.
Orange Chamomile Pound Cake
Ingredients
1½ cup unsalted butter
6 chamomile tea bags OR 1½ cup of chamomile
8oz cream cheese
2½ cups sugar
1½ teaspoons finely grated orange zest
¼ cup honey
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups cake flower
For the glaze
3oz hot water
1 chamomile tea bag or ¼ cup of chamomile
1¼ cup of confectioner sugar
Pinch of salt
½ tablespoon honey
½ tablespoon freshly squeezed citrus juice (lemon, orange, lime, etc.)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps
Place in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Gently melt the butter, and then add the chamomile. Cover with lid, remove from the heat, and let steep for 30 minutes.
Remove lid and set pot over medium heat to gently melt any hardened butter. Once melted, cover with the lid again, remove from the heat, and let steep for another 30 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid from the tea as possible.
Transfer to an airtight container and let chill in the fridge until solid. Preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a 16 cup angel food cake pan. Tap out any excess flour and set aside.
In the bowl of a standard mixer, beat together butter, cream, sugar, honey, and orange zest at medium speed until light and fluffy. Ensure the mixing is thorough!
Add in eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly incorporated before adding the next. Add orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well blended.
Using a sturdy spatula, fold in cake flour until just combined.
Pour batter into the angel food cake pan. Smooth and level the top over.
Bake for 80-90 minutes, rotating midway through baking, until a toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean and the top of the cake is golden brown. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
For the glaze:
Steep chamomile in freshly boiled hot water for 8 minutes. Strain out tea, squeezing as much liquid as possible.
In medium bowl, combine all the glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, salt, honey, citrus juice, vanilla extract, and tea). Stir until smooth. If it ends up being too thick, add more chamomile tea.
Drizzle glaze over cooled pound cake as desired.
Happy Yule everyone!
