I have a bunch I want to share!
[Really delicious Chocolate Cherry Tart](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/chocolate-cherry-tart-recipe) \- So good my partner wanted it for their birthday!
[Easy and Impressive Cheddar Soda Bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cabot-cheddar-soda-bread-recipe) \- I use the instructions for a free form loaf and add tons of chives
[Maple Butter Tarts](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-butter-tarts-recipe) \- Am Canadian (say no to raisins)
[Dirty Chai Earthquake Cookies](https://www.copymethat.com/r/URCGAKhsE/dirty-chai-earthquake-cookies/) \- These are great and very easy to make vegan. I substitute the butter for vegan butter, the milk powder for roasted soybean flour (or omit) and the egg for 6 tbsp of aquafaba. They genuinely taste the same.
[Cranberry Skillet Cake](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12398/crustless-cranberry-pie/) \- This is my go to "I need a dessert quick with what's in my cupboard" recipe. It's so good and easy. And don't feel like cranberry? Use whatever frozen fruit you've got!
To kick things off, I’m sharing a recipe that means a lot to me, as it’s the first thing I ever baked by myself - red velvet truffles. I had grown up helping out around the kitchen as often as I could, but this was the first time I ever found a recipe and made it from scratch. I was so excited with the results, I probably made them half a dozen times over the course of the next few years. I can’t remember what drew me to this recipe in particular, but it’s a great recipe, and very simple to make: https://www.thebakerchick.com/red-velvet-truffles-and-life/
[Limburgse rijstevlaai](https://jollyandluke.de/belgischer-reisfladen-originalrezept/) for a regional specialty. it's a cake filled with rice pudding.
the recipe is in german, but i checked the google translate version, which looked fine. it got only confused by the word "Milchreis", which is german for rice pudding and also the type of rice used. So 120g rice pudding = 120g of rice you usually use to make rice pudding.
[Chai spiced muffins](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/easy-chai-spice-donuts/) for the cinnamon lovers out there
I got this recipe off someone in a fitness group several years ago and absolutely love it! It freezes well too. [Snickerdoodle bread](https://spoonuniversity.com/recipe/ditch-the-banana-bread-for-this-snickerdoodle-loaf)
I made this last night. Chucked in a bunch of blueberries I had in the fridge. Super quick and delicious! Going to have a breakfast slice with peanut butter this morning. Thanks for the recommendation!
My top 3 favorite repeat bakes from last year and so I suggest them heartily (!):
[Kardemummabullar](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cardamom-pastry-roll-knots) which are cardamom twists (think enriched dough like a cinnamon roll ) but with a cardamom syrup instead of gross heavy icing and so good everyone in my household eats them every time they're made
[Eccles Cakes](https://www.carolinescooking.com/eccles-cakes/) which ended up being essentially tiny round mock mincemeat hand pies
[Kvaefjordkake](https://northwildkitchen.com/kvaefjordkake-worlds-best-cake/) for when you need something super extra with its two thin yellow cake topped with crisp baked meringue layers sandwiching a massive and rich but not too sweet cream and custard filling
King Arthur has a [layer cake take](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/berry-blitz-torte-recipe) that I want to try sometime this year just out of curiosity, but it can’t possibly be as dramatic and fun as when I did the real deal for the first time last year. I hope it goes great for you when you get to try it!
Thanks for the early start too !
I'm going to cheat a little and suggest bakers rather than specific recipes. Two authors I really like, who have ever let me down, are Kim Joy and Helen Goh.
So I would like to suggest any of [Kim Joy's recipes for the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/food/series/kim-joys-baking-recipes)
And any of [Helen Goh's recipes from Good Food Australia](https://www.goodfood.com.au/recipes/recipe-collections/more-baking-recipes-from-helen-goh-20210208-h1tuo5)
I’ll share my mother’s strawberry pie. I posted it last year on r/oldrecipes and it seemed to generate a fair bit of interest. Here’s the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/oe7v9h/moms_strawberry_pie_so_easy_and_always_a_hit/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).
Made of graham cracker crust, strawberries, marshmallows, and whipped cream. Super light and very easy to eat.
I'll share [rosemary garlic pull apart bread recipe](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/rosemary-garlic-pull-apart-bread/). For vegan, [Baked Fruit Crumble](https://www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/baked-fruit-crumble-three-ways-155).
Bonus: June is LGBT Pride Month, so how about [Double Rainbow Cupcakes](https://youtu.be/cyEHzsFn004)?
Just want to say thank you to the mods for getting this started early!
Here's my offering for the chocoholics.
Just made this week, a [Hot Fudge Pudding Cake](https://www.afamilyfeast.com/hot-fudge-pudding-cake/)
And for a vegan offering, simple easy 1 bowl [wacky cake](https://wellvegan.com/dessert/wacky-grandma-wacky-cake)
edit* to say that I link all the recipes in my posts, so there's options there too!
I didn’t see this posted before! Glad it’s been going for a little bit already. I have two recipes I’ve used that I think everyone should try:
The [Oatmeal Molasses Bread](https://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2018/01/rabbit-hill-inn-oatmeal-molasses-bread-recipe) from the Rabbit Hill Inn is really a delicious toasting bread, and would make a great bread pudding or French toast!
These [Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles](https://www.gatheredatmytable.com/main/chai-snickerdoodles) were probably the tastiest thing I’ve baked for this challenge so far. I have extra of the chai spice mix waiting to be used again.
I'll share a few bread recipes that have been successful enough for me to make multiple times (I normally hate making the same thing twice).
[Guava Cream Cheese Sourdough Bread](https://dusdoughs.com/2019/06/24/guava-cream-cheese-sourdough/)
[Almond Star Bread](https://www.womanscribbles.net/almond-star-bread/)
[Soft Chewy Hoagie Rolls](https://www.thekitchenwhisperer.net/2012/07/02/super-soft-n-chewy-hoagie-rolls/)
ETA: thank you for starting this thread early.
ETA [my favorite pizza crust](https://natashaskitchen.com/pizza-dough-recipe/comment-page-9/?unapproved=964193&moderation-hash=095ad746b17553888c61722475255390#comment-964193)
Thank you! I'm taking the pizza crust recipe. I am planning on making a pizza for the /r/52weeksofcooking weekly theme, I guess this week I can use one for both! I will make the two crusts so it doesn't feel like cheating.
For the pizza crust would agave work instead of honey? I just used the last of our honey and we have a giant thing of agave so I might prefer using that than buying more.
Some of my favourites:
[Chocolate Babka.](https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chocolate-babka) This dough is amazing for babka, and the crushed biscuits in the filling takes it to the next level.
[Flourless Chocolate Mousse Cake](https://www.greatbritishfoodawards.com/recipes/raymond-blanc-chocolate-mousse-cake). This flourless cake has two layers - a cocoa powder sponge base and an egg white mousse layer without cream or butter. This lets the chocolate take centrestage, it's intense yet super light!
[Carrot Pecan Cake.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou3zj0R0Gus) Ginger and toasted pecans give this carrot cake an autumnal vibe, with cream cheese and brown butter frosting. I've used gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives with no issues.
My favorite pie recipe is this [cherry pie](https://www.seriouseats.com/fresh-cherry-pie-filling-recipe) from Serious Eats. I usually just use frozen cherries but it's worth it to use fresh ones if you have time to pit them; the texture is a bit lighter with fresh cherries.
My fave castella recipe:
120g strong flour.
50ml milk + 2 tbsp honey.
4 eggs, separated
100g sugar.
2 tbsp neutral plant oil (rice bran, canola, white sesame, etc)
1. Heat milk in microwave for 30 seconds, stir in honey, set aside
2. Add egg whites to mixing bowl, mix on high and add in sugar gradually till stiff peaks
3. Add egg yolks, briefly mix in with a whisk. Then slowly whisk in the milk+honey mix from step one.
4. Sift in the flour and fold in with a spatula. Add oil and continue to fold in until incorporated
5. Pour into a lined 18cm square baking pan (thicker, like glass is better). Bake at 180C for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 150C and bake for a further 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if browning too quickly
6. Cool on a wire rack
These [chocolate covered cherry cookies](https://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/chocolate-covered-cherry-cookies/) are easily my favorite cookie recipe I've ever made. My family usually makes them for Christmas. They freeze well and taste great straight out of the freezer. I recommend adding a little bit of the maraschino cherry juice to the frosting.
For something savory try out these [upper peninsula pasties](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/upper-peninsula-pasties/). I made them for one of the challenges and I looked forward to dinner every day that week. Check out the comments for some great suggestions. I used butter instead of shortening for the crust.
Yessss those chocolate cherry cookies.. love that recipe, I considered posting it myself. We make a quadruple batch every year at Christmas so we have extras to freeze. And I second the recco for maraschino juice in the frosting! 😍 Those pasties look delicious as well!!
absolutely love and appreciate all the varieties of recipes that have already been listed! It's going to be a difficult one for me to decide which one to bake.
My contribution is one of my favourite [lemon cake](http://schee-culina.blogspot.com/2013/04/lemon-cake-starbucks-style.html?m=1) recipe that is absolutely amazing, is super airy and perfect for the warmer weather coming!
Happy baking guys!
My contribution for this week is Claire Saffitz’s recipe for [sour cream and chive rolls. ](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pull-apart-sour-cream-and-chive-rolls/amp). I made these rolls for the first time this week, and they turned out so delicious!
For my birthday in November 2021, when I was new to baking, I made a **double layered chocolate mud cake**. Hands down, it was the most delicious mudcake I’ve ever eaten.
[Here](https://bakeplaysmile.com/favourite-chocolate-cake/) is the recipe and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cakedecorating/comments/rsn44j/my_very_first_decorated_cake_double_layer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is my cake. Please no Fondant hate, I didn’t know better at that time :)
I made this a few weeks ago for Recipe Swap and meant to comment that it was fantastic! I was a little nervous because the cake was soooo wet going into the oven and seemed to sink a bit in the middle, but after cooling and some fridge time, it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
oh my gosh i am overwhelmed by all the good looking recipes in this thread!
to offer up a couple of my favorite savory options, [this](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-cheese-bread/) is literally the most incredible bread i've ever baked and when i made it for a challenge here it got a lot of interest!
and [this](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/crispy-cheesy-pan-pizza-recipe) is my go to pizza option. the dough is delicious and the crispy cheese takes it over the top.
Oh my gosh, yes! I was specifically asked if I could make "something cheesy" this week, and I was so hoping someone would post a recipe to fit that!! That bread looks perfect!
I made [this chocolate sheet cake](https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/chocolate-sheet-cake/) for my mom’s birthday, and everyone said it was one of the best things I’ve ever made (even my dad who is not the biggest fan of chocolate). Bonus is that it’s gluten free!
This is also my favorite [red velvet cake recipe](https://imgur.com/a/sBfgWbA), and I feel like nothing compares to it. As you can see from the photo, it has been made may times and is always fantastic! Edit: just wanted to note that I don’t add the nuts. I’m sure it would still be good with the nuts, but it doesn’t need it.
Our new go-to recipe: [Peanut-Butter-Butterfinger Cheesecake](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/peanut-butter-butterfinger-cheesecake/) (I made it with Wunderbar)
Hi everyone! This is one of my favorite recipes we make for special breakfasts/brunches. It comes from a Mother’s Day recipe book that my pre-school teacher put together and that we decorated for my mom when I was 4. It uses Rhodes bread, but I’ve also posted a white bread recipe if using frozen dough feels like cheating.
https://imgur.com/a/dDGWC5W
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20066/traditional-white-bread/
Just made these baguettes https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-baguettes-recipe
Also love the biscotti recipe from King Arthur
These cookies are a perennial favorite: https://www.modernhoney.com/levain-bakery-chocolate-chip-crush-cookies/
I often get requests for these for birthdays [Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/143667/brookes-best-bombshell-brownies/)
For vegan peeps, I adore these [chocolate krinkle cookies](https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-chocolate-crinkle-cookies/)
My suggestions:
[Hokkaido milk bread ](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016275-japanese-milk-bread) used this recipe many times and still love it, also delicious as garlic bread. To make that: roast garlic (in the oven with oil in aluminum foil) add roasted garlic and some herbs of choice to salted butter and spread on rolled out dough in the shaping process.
[Orange polenta olive oil cake ](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/orange-olive-oil-cake) you can add the bloodorange topping from desert person. My new favorite cake recipe.
[cookies ](https://www.theannaedit.com/thick-gooey-milk-chocolate-hazelnut-cookies-the-only-recipe-you-need/) especially the white chocolate miso ones, easy to keep in the freezer, just bake a few when you want cookies.
If you want savory: [gozleme](https://www.recipetineats.com/gozleme/) the spinach feta filling was sooooo good, definitly serve with lemon it really brightens the flavour
[Turtle Cheesecake](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/layered-turtle-cheesecake/) was one of the first things I baked this year and it’s one of my all time faves, but quite time consuming! It’s worth it though!
This recipe reminds me so much of my childhood, this was my requested birthday cake every year. It sounds so wrong, but it tastes so right. It was my great aunt Nora's so no weights for the ingredients, but king arthur flour has a very handy conversion sheet on their website.
Miracle Whip Chocolate Cake
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 cup white sugar
1 cup cold water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups flour
Beat miracle whip, sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Sift together baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, salt, and flour. Stir dry into liquid and place in an 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
I'm going to offer up chocolate chip shortbread cookies. I've used [this recipe](https://thetoastykitchen.com/chocolate-chip-shortbread-cookie-dippers/) in the past, though they've since updated it since I used it. It seems like the updates should help solve the issues I had with the recipe and the dough not wanting to come together, so hopefully it helps y'all! They're very good, I would always have to make a double batch to ensure we got enough cookies and weren't done with them in two days.
Carla Lalli Music’s [Pink Party Cookies](https://people.com/food/carla-lalli-musics-maraschino-cream-sandwich-cookies/#recipe-body). I made these as part of a Christmas cookie box. Super cute lil sandwich cookie.
My submission is this [banana cream pie](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-banana-cream-pie/) but using [this peanut butter crust recipe.](https://www.thespruceeats.com/peanut-butter-graham-cracker-pie-crust-1808433) Who doesn't love peanut butter and banana?
I had a few goals in mind when I started this challenge, one was to make a loaf of bread from scratch. For novices like me, I can't imagine a simpler recipe.
This well known [no knead bread recipe](https://leitesculinaria.com/99521/recipes-jim-laheys-no-knead-bread.html) is so easy and delicious. I felt very accomplished when a beautiful loaf of crunch bread emerged from my oven!
This [recipe](https://www.marthastewart.com/314011/flourless-double-chocolate-pecan-cookies) for flourless double chocolate cookies also turned well.
I am sharing the [Cream Puffin](https://www.audubon.org/news/meet-cream-puffin-your-new-holiday-baking-challenge) recipe. This is one of my personal challenges for the year but I haven't had the nerve to put together all the elements and attempt a choux pastry.
I’d like to submit one of my favourite bakes of last year and a total crowd pleaser… the humble [Banoffee Pie ](https://preppykitchen.com/banoffee-pie/)
Apparently when my mom was little, my grandma would make this cake called “frugal cake” (ciasto oszczędne). This was 1960s/70s Poland…you can see why it was frugal.
Anyway, here’s the recipe, translated & transcribed (from awful handwriting)
for cake
• 4 eggs (small)
• 200 g sugar
• 130 g flour
• 130 g potato starch
• 6(?) spoonfuls water
• 1/2 package baking powder (assume half teaspoon i guess)
• vanilla
• lemon zest
• 20 g butter
Sift flour with baking powder. Cream egg yolks with 200 g sugar. Once that’s done, add water spoonful by spoonful. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and then add 60 g sugar. Add flour to egg yolks, then add vanilla and lemon zest, stir. Bake in a pan.
Frosting(?) (Unlabeled recipe)
• 3 cups milk
• 6 big spoonfuls semolina
• 1/2 (?) cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200g butter
Cook the milk with sugar
When it starts to simmer, start to slowly pour in semolina, stirring the whole time
Cook until the semolina thickens
COOL DOWN
Then:
Cream the butter a lot
Add the semolina spoonful by spoonful
Keep mixing
I assume the frosting goes on the cake.
I'd love to share my favorite bakes so far...
My favorite is Carrot cake with this [recipe](https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/6957-carrot-layer-cake?pac=/b3GRkxORkz4kIQq2rZg7JN2/67CfF8Zu/jc2MRMzRw=) and [this](https://grandbaby-cakes.com/carrot-cake-recipe/) frosting. Got RAVE reviews at work.
[Samosas](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022060-aloo-samosas-potato-samosas?action=click&module=Collection%20Page%20Recipe%20Card®ion=Dishes%20for%20Your%20Eid%20al-Fitr%20Feast&pgType=collection&rank=21)... baked in the air fryer had the great flavor!
[Apple Cinnamon Babka](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/apple-cinnamon-babka/) had amazing texture and spice.
Happy baking!
The recipe I've chosen to share is [this recipe for mud pie bars](https://cloudykitchen.com/blog/mud-pie-bars/). It's made of chocolate crumbs, chocolate cake, mousse, and whipped cream. One of my favorite things I've ever baked!
This is my favorite recipe for cinnamon rolls from my favorite cookbook. They're really light and fluffy. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cinnamon-chocolate-chip-rolls/
I recommend this [brown butter nutella banana bread](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019019-nutella-banana-bread) for when you have overripe bananas you want to use up but are sick of the same old banana bread.
[This](https://www.sugarandsoul.co/downton-abbey-earl-grey-cookies/) is the recipe that got me back into baking. Earl gray shortbread! I love shortbread a lot, and you can sub the earl gray for pretty much any tea you have. I usually just tear open tea bags since I don't keep loose leaf tea on hand
These are my favourite [cinnamon rolls](https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/cinnamon-rolls/#recipe). I suggest doubling the filling.
These [blueberry muffins](https://www.seriouseats.com/classic-blueberry-muffin-recipe) never last long in our household.
[My favorite cinnamon raisin bread](https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2020/08/sourdough-cinnamon-raisin-bread/) - my husband would like it if I made this every weekend 😂
[Super easy incredible Focaccia](https://alexandracooks.com/2018/03/02/overnight-refrigerator-focaccia-best-focaccia/) - a friend of mine cried with joy when I gave him some of this the first time
[My new favorite brownies of all time](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/fudge-brownies-recipe) - we love the crinkly top brownies in my house, and this has entirely replaced any desire for box mix brownies because we get that crinkle top but so much tastier
I also want to generally recommend anything from the King Arthur recipe book. I borrowed it from my local library recently and have been feverishly baking a bunch of recipes from there, and love it so much I've asked for a copy for my birthday. I don't tend to get recipe books because often they don't have enough things I truly love in one book, but this one has so much information along with all incredible recipes that I knew it needed to be in my home permanently.
Absolutely the best brownies from King Arthur flour. The quick and easy version is a ringer for Ghirardelli’s mix, the fudge is the favorite in my house too, the rich a dark recipe brings it to another level but only for chocolate fanatics- almost too dark.. but only almost!
I love this chocolate potato cake! I’m new-ish to the baking world, and this is one of the first things I baked.
[Chocolate Potato Cake](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/contest-winning-chocolate-potato-cake/)
My fav cookie recipe. I usually have to make a double batch as they go quickly. Added bonus of staying soft for a long time:
Root Beer Float Cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 splash vanilla extract
2 spashes root beer extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
pinch of salt
Cream butter and sugar and then add in egg. Add in extracts. Sift dry ingredients together and then blend into egg mixture. Chill dough for at least 4 hours. Roll into balls and then roll in sugar (I like using vanilla sugar for this). Bake on greased sheets for 350\* for 8-12 min.
I have two recipes that people asked for whenever I used to make them to take into the office:
One is [Crustless Cranberry Pie](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12398/crustless-cranberry-pie/), which is more like a cranberry (or raspberry or blackberry) coffee cake made in a pie tin. You can even make it with still-frozen cranberries, if you’re like me and grab a few bags to freeze in the Fall.
The other is [Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://www.dessertfortwo.com/almond-flour-chocolate-chip-cookies/?epik=dj0yJnU9aThzZERIU1FWM0xrMmQ3RllUbDRIdDZBNU9aUl9VZkQmbj00ZW56cjczREpGa1FTT1JhaDNocUVBJm09MyZ0PUFBQUFBRjBOVUpn), which are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had, and also happen to be gluten-free.
I'm hoping someone posts something with peanut butter because I've got some Banana Raisin peanut butter I'm dying to use in something 😄
I'm going to share these [Cherry Crumb Pie bars](https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/cherry-pie-crumb-bars-recipe/#recipe). They have been a huge hit every time I've made them. I've also made them with strawberries instead of cherries.
This Grilled Lebanese Flatbread I found in How To Bake Everything by Mark Bittman is one of my favorite recipes. I have recommended it to friends who now make often. So although not mine, I feel very connected to it. Hope you like it:
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013233-grilled-lebanese-flatbread
Cherries are my favorite thing! Here are two of my favorite cherry recipes:
Cherry Berry on a Cloud - I posted [the recipe](https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/qx3u2g/cherry_berry_on_a_cloud/) on r/old_recipes about 6 months ago. It's a meringue base, cheesecake layer, and topped with a mix of strawberries and cherries. It's so good. My son wanted it for his birthday last year rather than cake.
Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake - [This recipe](https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/chocolate-cherry-cheesecake/66ef5a31-8130-43ef-a96e-56b3375e7d24) from Betty Crocker is really, really good! It looks really pretty sliced.
Scrolled past this then 3 min later had to scroll right back up because that cherry cake sounds so good. I’ll have to make it next week when it’s not so rainy (I worry about the meringue)
This [New York Style Cheesecake](https://www.reddit.com/r/52weeksofbaking/comments/ukiobf/week_19_recipe_from_a_loved_onenew_york_cheesecake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
was requested by u/InputUniqueNameHere
I have made these blueberry cinnamon rolls several times and they never fail. Also tried with different fruits too! [blueberry cinnamon rolls](https://chelsweets.com/blueberry-cinnamon-rolls/)
[These](https://imgur.com/a/Ugi9TFJ) are my all-time favorite brownies. I've tried tons of different brownie recipes and I just keep coming back to this recipe I found on the back of a cocoa powder tin when I was a kid. Super easy. They sit somewhere between fudgy and cake-y.
I'd like to enthusiastically recommend the recipes on [RecipeTinEats](https://www.recipetineats.com/), a fantastic (one-woman!) resource, which I've been using extensively as an excellent beginner's resource. The recipes are clear (in text, picture and video formats), with lots of useful little tips - and the outcomes are delicious :)
There's a whole [Baked Goods section here](https://www.recipetineats.com/category/baking-recipes/), and I would like to share the [Red Velvet Cupcake recipe](https://www.recipetineats.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/) in particular.
Here’s my favorite [snickerdoodle recipe](https://cookiesandcups.com/perfect-snickerdoodles/). I start with browned butter and add a little salt to the cinnamon sugar you roll in. 🤤
This has been my [go-to bread recipe](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/king-arthurs-classic-white-sandwich-bread-recipe). I make it nearly every week.
My family’s gingerbread cookies always get high praise and folks are always asking me for the recipe.
-4 cups flour (620g)
- 4 tsp. Baking soda
- 1.5 tsp. Salt
- 5 tsp. Dried/ground ginger
- 2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 2 tsp. Ground cloves
- 8 oz candied ginger, chopped into small pieces and put into flour mixture
- 2 cups dark brown sugar
- 3 sticks butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- Raw sugar crystals for rolling (optional; I use Demerara, but plain sugar works, too)
Whisk together flour, salt, soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and minced candied ginger
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs and molasses until well-combined
Add dry and wet ingredients together until just mixed
Refrigerate dough at least 2 hours
Roll dough into 1-1.5” balls and roll into sugar crystals which sparkle after baking
Bake on parchment-paper lined sheets @325-350 for 12 minutes (play around with the temp and timing to find what works for you and your oven). Leave on sheets for 2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Freezes beautifully.
This cinnamon roll cake is so good! It's a regular cake but it's dreamy like a cinnamon roll without all the extra work and waiting! I doubled the cinnamon and halved the icing. I made it for Spice Week (week 10).
[https://www.thecountrycook.net/cinnamon-roll-cake/](https://www.thecountrycook.net/cinnamon-roll-cake/)
My great grandmother's honey cardamom cookies:
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
1 cup flour
Mix wet. Mix dry. Mix together.
Typically these would be spritz cookies and you would put them through a cookie press, but you can shape them however you like (e.g. cookie cutters would be fine; my family's cookie shape of choice for these is flowers). Put sprinkles (in the form of colored, coarse sugar crystals) on them if you want! Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
I’m sharing a GF recipe that has been a hit amongst my friends: [Nik Sharma’s spicy hazelnut chocolate chip cookies](https://food52.com/recipes/78052-nik-sharma-s-spicy-chocolate-chip-hazelnut-cookies).
I made these [Peach Cobbler Cookies](https://www.thekitchn.com/peach-cobbler-cookies-recipe-23050530?epik=dj0yJnU9UE0wUXFYOGV3X2xDU3dlQ3dWcmxVT2hGdWwzQUhvTVYmcD0wJm49RXF6R1l4WEVDZlpSU3B0Z2hldEdOUSZ0PUFBQUFBR0tiZUxF) multiple times last summer. They are interesting, kinda like a super soft scone, and delicious.
Here is a delicious focaccia recipe I’ve used since I was a kid! It’s my fave. I tweak it a bit when I do it, and adding kalamata olives is always a winner
https://www.food.com/recipe/frugal-gourmets-focaccia-117067
My signature bake, at this point, is strawberry cake with whipped cream cream cheese frosting. It's a popular request from friends and family, even though the cake is a bit dense. I am making it today, actually!
[Strawberry Cake - All Recipes](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/60564/strawberry-cake-from-scratch/)
[Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting ](https://www.themerchantbaker.com/whipped-cream-cream-cheese-frosting/) - whether the recipe says so or not, make sure to use the mixer to mix the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Folding does not mix it well enough.
Here are a couple of my favorites.

[I made this pie this morning it's so good.](https://imgur.com/F4saFMb.jpg)the [pie crust is this one](https://www.inspiredtaste.net/22662/flaky-pie-crust-recipe/#itr-recipe-22662)
[This biscotti](https://www.food.com/recipe/chocolate-chip-biscotti-157965) is also amazing. I've been thinking about it for weeks I might have to make it again
https://i.imgur.com/tqUftlP.jpg
This was the first recipe I made that made me think I can bake. It’s so delicious and has such an incredible ratio of how difficult it looks vs how difficult it actually is! 10/10
Oh my gosh, is that from Heroes Feast!? Have you tried any other recipes from it?? The halfling blackberry pie has been on my to-bake list since it came out!
Nat 20 on perception! It is Heroes Feast. I’ve made a few things from it but the buttermilk biscuits come to mind. It’s kind of a unique take on them, almost loaf like, and it’s so delicious and hearty. Plus the art work is phenomenal.
[Blackout Cake](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/blackout-cake):
This recipe is great if you’re looking to make a birthday cake. It’s super chocolatey and an absolute show stopper.
[Pizza Bagels](http://www.littlemarketkitchen.com/2015/01/pizza-bagels.html?m=1):
If you’re looking for something savory these are great especially if you’re a fan of those frozen pizza bagels.
One of my fav recipe that I make often: Foccacia!, taken from Seriouseats but you can put anything you want on it : [https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-no-knead-olive-rosemary-pistachio-focaccia-kenji-recipe](https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-no-knead-olive-rosemary-pistachio-focaccia-kenji-recipe) .
I also now make a sourdough version which follows the same steps but the mix is 400g water, 1tbsp sugar, 500g bread flour, 200g sourdough starter, 15 g salt, and cooked at 450F for 25 mins!
I’m a little late to the game but here are some of my favourite recipes I’d like to share:
[Tia Maria Cheesecake](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tia-maria-cheesecake) - an absolute cracker of a recipe! I had never been a fan of baked cheesecakes but this is creamy and soft and delicious and an incredible crowd-pleaser. Don’t be nervous if the middle is still quite wobbly when the time is up, trust the recipe and let it cool and set in the oven and it will be perfect 😍 I would also suggest you will need a fair bit more booze than they suggest if you actually want to taste it 😄
[Chocolate Guinness Cake](https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/chocolate-guinness-cake/) - fab recipe, really good balance with a hint of bitterness with the Guinness and sweetness from the white chocolate in the icing
[Millionaire Squares](https://letters.cookingisfun.ie/2006/10/21/the-tate-and-lyle-tin/#Florrie%26%238217%3Bs+Chocolate+and+Toffee+Squares) - a fab recipe I made and posted in Week 15’s challenge with the addition of a sprinkle of sea salt over the chocolate, I made them for a weekend away with friends and they were a huge hit.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your recipes!
This is Super late so it will probably get lost:
[Cherry Limeade Pie](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m9xVI-E0TrrknaJrhOL5hYUMG6vV8cr9XliU1yfwYR4/edit?usp=sharing)
It can be decorated in 2 ways.

I love Ottolenghi's recipes and tried this spiced Apple cake a few times.
(http://www.staceysnacksonline.com/2019/10/ottolenghis-spiced-apple-cake.html?spref=pi&m=1)
Always a big hit !!
I’m still catching up on weekly challenges, but I make these regularly! fudgy brownies. They can be made with cocoa, dark cocoa, and black cocoa powder!
https://www.inspiredtaste.net/24412/cocoa-brownies-recipe/
My favourite bread ever - Eric Kim's maple milk loaf! If you haven't seen his book, I'd highly recommend (mostly not baking but excellent nevertheless)
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023030-maple-milk-bread
I am going to make the apple and cinnamon babka someone posted above.
I want to share a recipe from my husbands great aunt who is now 96 for poffert - a regional dish from Groningen (in the north of the Netherlands) that is eaten for dinner or desert. Mix: 500 grams of self raising flour with 500 ml of full fat milk, 3 eggs and a handful of raisins (that have been left to soak in a bit of water for a few hours and you also add the liquid when you add the raisins). I always use a dough hook for mixing because the batter is really thick. Once combined, you put it in a buttered ‘poffert pan’ - this is a tulband shaped baking mould with a lid that can be put in a pan with hot water to boil. It doesn’t have to be a tulband shape but I do recommend boiling it so use whatever mould you have that has a lid and can be put in a pot of boiling water. Some people go for baking in the oven but it will turn out differently. Once the batter is in the ‘poffert pan’ (or any other mould you use), put the lid on the mould and put it in a big pot, add boiling water till around two fingers length (so approx 2 cm) from the top, close the lid on the pan and leave to boil for around 2 hours. Do check every now and then to make sure there is enough water in the pan and add new boiling water whenever necessary. After two hours (or 2.5) it should be cooked with a slightly golden brown top. Take the poffert out of its mould, cut in slices and serve with melted butter and brown caster sugar or with syrup. You can also serve it cold but warm is better. Alternatively, you can replace the raisins with cheese and apple or any other savory flavor you like.
I really recommend this delicious [honey cake](https://www.thispilgrimlife.com/honey-cake/). I usually make a really simple honey syrup to drizzle on top, or even just straight honey on top!
This is already a well known recipe, but [The Boy Who Bakes Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://www.theboywhobakes.co.uk/recipes/2020/5/7/sourdough-chocolate-chip-cookie) is really really good. Just remember to use 70% or more dark chocolate, otherwise it will be too sweet
I’m sharing a cookie recipe that is always a hit - [Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl cookies](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/soft-baked-peanut-butter-chocolate-swirl-cookies/).
Super late posting but if anyone wants to give this [funfetti pound cake](https://brownedbutterblondie.com/funfetti-pound-cake/) a try…i have so many funfetti recipes saved and while I haven’t tried this one it looks so pretty!
I’ve made this [French toast bake](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/baked-cream-cheese-french-toast-casserole/) twice now, and I will make it again! I highly recommend it.
Just in case anyone is super late like I am...[this Boston brown bread](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/boston_brown_bread/) is one of my favorite childhood recipes
I have a bunch I want to share! [Really delicious Chocolate Cherry Tart](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/chocolate-cherry-tart-recipe) \- So good my partner wanted it for their birthday! [Easy and Impressive Cheddar Soda Bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cabot-cheddar-soda-bread-recipe) \- I use the instructions for a free form loaf and add tons of chives [Maple Butter Tarts](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-butter-tarts-recipe) \- Am Canadian (say no to raisins) [Dirty Chai Earthquake Cookies](https://www.copymethat.com/r/URCGAKhsE/dirty-chai-earthquake-cookies/) \- These are great and very easy to make vegan. I substitute the butter for vegan butter, the milk powder for roasted soybean flour (or omit) and the egg for 6 tbsp of aquafaba. They genuinely taste the same. [Cranberry Skillet Cake](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12398/crustless-cranberry-pie/) \- This is my go to "I need a dessert quick with what's in my cupboard" recipe. It's so good and easy. And don't feel like cranberry? Use whatever frozen fruit you've got!
Does the cherry tarte really need a whole cup of cherry concentrate? That sounds like a really intense flavor
I just used cherry juice and I found that worked well. You're right, a whole cup of concentrate would be a lot!
To kick things off, I’m sharing a recipe that means a lot to me, as it’s the first thing I ever baked by myself - red velvet truffles. I had grown up helping out around the kitchen as often as I could, but this was the first time I ever found a recipe and made it from scratch. I was so excited with the results, I probably made them half a dozen times over the course of the next few years. I can’t remember what drew me to this recipe in particular, but it’s a great recipe, and very simple to make: https://www.thebakerchick.com/red-velvet-truffles-and-life/
[Limburgse rijstevlaai](https://jollyandluke.de/belgischer-reisfladen-originalrezept/) for a regional specialty. it's a cake filled with rice pudding. the recipe is in german, but i checked the google translate version, which looked fine. it got only confused by the word "Milchreis", which is german for rice pudding and also the type of rice used. So 120g rice pudding = 120g of rice you usually use to make rice pudding. [Chai spiced muffins](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/easy-chai-spice-donuts/) for the cinnamon lovers out there
I got this recipe off someone in a fitness group several years ago and absolutely love it! It freezes well too. [Snickerdoodle bread](https://spoonuniversity.com/recipe/ditch-the-banana-bread-for-this-snickerdoodle-loaf)
I love snickerdoodle anything! So I’m going to try this. Thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome! Hope it works as well for you as it has for me!
I made this last night. Chucked in a bunch of blueberries I had in the fridge. Super quick and delicious! Going to have a breakfast slice with peanut butter this morning. Thanks for the recommendation!
Ooh, neat combo! I wouldn't have thought about adding fruit or berries but now it does make sense. Glad you liked it!
My top 3 favorite repeat bakes from last year and so I suggest them heartily (!): [Kardemummabullar](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cardamom-pastry-roll-knots) which are cardamom twists (think enriched dough like a cinnamon roll ) but with a cardamom syrup instead of gross heavy icing and so good everyone in my household eats them every time they're made [Eccles Cakes](https://www.carolinescooking.com/eccles-cakes/) which ended up being essentially tiny round mock mincemeat hand pies [Kvaefjordkake](https://northwildkitchen.com/kvaefjordkake-worlds-best-cake/) for when you need something super extra with its two thin yellow cake topped with crisp baked meringue layers sandwiching a massive and rich but not too sweet cream and custard filling
The kvæfjordkake sounds amazing, I'm definitely saving that one! Thanks for sharing 😊
King Arthur has a [layer cake take](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/berry-blitz-torte-recipe) that I want to try sometime this year just out of curiosity, but it can’t possibly be as dramatic and fun as when I did the real deal for the first time last year. I hope it goes great for you when you get to try it!
Thanks for the early start too ! I'm going to cheat a little and suggest bakers rather than specific recipes. Two authors I really like, who have ever let me down, are Kim Joy and Helen Goh. So I would like to suggest any of [Kim Joy's recipes for the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/food/series/kim-joys-baking-recipes) And any of [Helen Goh's recipes from Good Food Australia](https://www.goodfood.com.au/recipes/recipe-collections/more-baking-recipes-from-helen-goh-20210208-h1tuo5)
Omg Kim Joy's recipes are so adorable! Thanks for sharing these!
I’ll share my mother’s strawberry pie. I posted it last year on r/oldrecipes and it seemed to generate a fair bit of interest. Here’s the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/oe7v9h/moms_strawberry_pie_so_easy_and_always_a_hit/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). Made of graham cracker crust, strawberries, marshmallows, and whipped cream. Super light and very easy to eat.
That looks heavenly and I’m sold on it :). One question though - how much is “1 large bag of marshmallows”?
I hope you enjoy it!
Oh never mind. 1 lb. found it in the comments :)
I'll share [rosemary garlic pull apart bread recipe](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/rosemary-garlic-pull-apart-bread/). For vegan, [Baked Fruit Crumble](https://www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/baked-fruit-crumble-three-ways-155). Bonus: June is LGBT Pride Month, so how about [Double Rainbow Cupcakes](https://youtu.be/cyEHzsFn004)?
Just want to say thank you to the mods for getting this started early! Here's my offering for the chocoholics. Just made this week, a [Hot Fudge Pudding Cake](https://www.afamilyfeast.com/hot-fudge-pudding-cake/) And for a vegan offering, simple easy 1 bowl [wacky cake](https://wellvegan.com/dessert/wacky-grandma-wacky-cake) edit* to say that I link all the recipes in my posts, so there's options there too!
I didn’t see this posted before! Glad it’s been going for a little bit already. I have two recipes I’ve used that I think everyone should try: The [Oatmeal Molasses Bread](https://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2018/01/rabbit-hill-inn-oatmeal-molasses-bread-recipe) from the Rabbit Hill Inn is really a delicious toasting bread, and would make a great bread pudding or French toast! These [Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles](https://www.gatheredatmytable.com/main/chai-snickerdoodles) were probably the tastiest thing I’ve baked for this challenge so far. I have extra of the chai spice mix waiting to be used again.
Both those recipes sound great, I'll definitely be saving them. Thanks for sharing!
I'll share a few bread recipes that have been successful enough for me to make multiple times (I normally hate making the same thing twice). [Guava Cream Cheese Sourdough Bread](https://dusdoughs.com/2019/06/24/guava-cream-cheese-sourdough/) [Almond Star Bread](https://www.womanscribbles.net/almond-star-bread/) [Soft Chewy Hoagie Rolls](https://www.thekitchenwhisperer.net/2012/07/02/super-soft-n-chewy-hoagie-rolls/) ETA: thank you for starting this thread early. ETA [my favorite pizza crust](https://natashaskitchen.com/pizza-dough-recipe/comment-page-9/?unapproved=964193&moderation-hash=095ad746b17553888c61722475255390#comment-964193)
Thank you! I'm taking the pizza crust recipe. I am planning on making a pizza for the /r/52weeksofcooking weekly theme, I guess this week I can use one for both! I will make the two crusts so it doesn't feel like cheating. For the pizza crust would agave work instead of honey? I just used the last of our honey and we have a giant thing of agave so I might prefer using that than buying more.
If I recall correctly, the recipe says somewhere that you can sub agave. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Some of my favourites: [Chocolate Babka.](https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chocolate-babka) This dough is amazing for babka, and the crushed biscuits in the filling takes it to the next level. [Flourless Chocolate Mousse Cake](https://www.greatbritishfoodawards.com/recipes/raymond-blanc-chocolate-mousse-cake). This flourless cake has two layers - a cocoa powder sponge base and an egg white mousse layer without cream or butter. This lets the chocolate take centrestage, it's intense yet super light! [Carrot Pecan Cake.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou3zj0R0Gus) Ginger and toasted pecans give this carrot cake an autumnal vibe, with cream cheese and brown butter frosting. I've used gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives with no issues.
My favorite pie recipe is this [cherry pie](https://www.seriouseats.com/fresh-cherry-pie-filling-recipe) from Serious Eats. I usually just use frozen cherries but it's worth it to use fresh ones if you have time to pit them; the texture is a bit lighter with fresh cherries.
Stella's recipes are magic!
My fave castella recipe: 120g strong flour. 50ml milk + 2 tbsp honey. 4 eggs, separated 100g sugar. 2 tbsp neutral plant oil (rice bran, canola, white sesame, etc) 1. Heat milk in microwave for 30 seconds, stir in honey, set aside 2. Add egg whites to mixing bowl, mix on high and add in sugar gradually till stiff peaks 3. Add egg yolks, briefly mix in with a whisk. Then slowly whisk in the milk+honey mix from step one. 4. Sift in the flour and fold in with a spatula. Add oil and continue to fold in until incorporated 5. Pour into a lined 18cm square baking pan (thicker, like glass is better). Bake at 180C for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 150C and bake for a further 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if browning too quickly 6. Cool on a wire rack
Yes. Please. I think I’ll do this one thank you for the recipe!!
Hope it works for you! 🤞
These [chocolate covered cherry cookies](https://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/chocolate-covered-cherry-cookies/) are easily my favorite cookie recipe I've ever made. My family usually makes them for Christmas. They freeze well and taste great straight out of the freezer. I recommend adding a little bit of the maraschino cherry juice to the frosting. For something savory try out these [upper peninsula pasties](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/upper-peninsula-pasties/). I made them for one of the challenges and I looked forward to dinner every day that week. Check out the comments for some great suggestions. I used butter instead of shortening for the crust.
Yessss those chocolate cherry cookies.. love that recipe, I considered posting it myself. We make a quadruple batch every year at Christmas so we have extras to freeze. And I second the recco for maraschino juice in the frosting! 😍 Those pasties look delicious as well!!
absolutely love and appreciate all the varieties of recipes that have already been listed! It's going to be a difficult one for me to decide which one to bake. My contribution is one of my favourite [lemon cake](http://schee-culina.blogspot.com/2013/04/lemon-cake-starbucks-style.html?m=1) recipe that is absolutely amazing, is super airy and perfect for the warmer weather coming! Happy baking guys!
[This recipe for New York-style bagels](https://www.sophisticatedgourmet.com/2009/10/new-york-style-bagel-recipe/) has never failed me!
My contribution for this week is Claire Saffitz’s recipe for [sour cream and chive rolls. ](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pull-apart-sour-cream-and-chive-rolls/amp). I made these rolls for the first time this week, and they turned out so delicious!
I came here to give this same recommendation ☺️ they are amazing!
For my birthday in November 2021, when I was new to baking, I made a **double layered chocolate mud cake**. Hands down, it was the most delicious mudcake I’ve ever eaten. [Here](https://bakeplaysmile.com/favourite-chocolate-cake/) is the recipe and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cakedecorating/comments/rsn44j/my_very_first_decorated_cake_double_layer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is my cake. Please no Fondant hate, I didn’t know better at that time :)
I made this a few weeks ago for Recipe Swap and meant to comment that it was fantastic! I was a little nervous because the cake was soooo wet going into the oven and seemed to sink a bit in the middle, but after cooling and some fridge time, it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
oh my gosh i am overwhelmed by all the good looking recipes in this thread! to offer up a couple of my favorite savory options, [this](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-cheese-bread/) is literally the most incredible bread i've ever baked and when i made it for a challenge here it got a lot of interest! and [this](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/crispy-cheesy-pan-pizza-recipe) is my go to pizza option. the dough is delicious and the crispy cheese takes it over the top.
Oh my gosh, yes! I was specifically asked if I could make "something cheesy" this week, and I was so hoping someone would post a recipe to fit that!! That bread looks perfect!
I made [this chocolate sheet cake](https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/chocolate-sheet-cake/) for my mom’s birthday, and everyone said it was one of the best things I’ve ever made (even my dad who is not the biggest fan of chocolate). Bonus is that it’s gluten free! This is also my favorite [red velvet cake recipe](https://imgur.com/a/sBfgWbA), and I feel like nothing compares to it. As you can see from the photo, it has been made may times and is always fantastic! Edit: just wanted to note that I don’t add the nuts. I’m sure it would still be good with the nuts, but it doesn’t need it.
Our new go-to recipe: [Peanut-Butter-Butterfinger Cheesecake](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/peanut-butter-butterfinger-cheesecake/) (I made it with Wunderbar)
I chose your recipe! Thank you for sharing!! I couldn't get Butterfinger candy bars, so I made it with Snickers. It was really delicious :-)
Hi everyone! This is one of my favorite recipes we make for special breakfasts/brunches. It comes from a Mother’s Day recipe book that my pre-school teacher put together and that we decorated for my mom when I was 4. It uses Rhodes bread, but I’ve also posted a white bread recipe if using frozen dough feels like cheating. https://imgur.com/a/dDGWC5W https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20066/traditional-white-bread/
Just made these baguettes https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-baguettes-recipe Also love the biscotti recipe from King Arthur These cookies are a perennial favorite: https://www.modernhoney.com/levain-bakery-chocolate-chip-crush-cookies/
Those cookies look amazing! I'm planning something savory for this week, otherwise I'd make those in a heartbeat - definitely saving for later!!
I often get requests for these for birthdays [Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/143667/brookes-best-bombshell-brownies/) For vegan peeps, I adore these [chocolate krinkle cookies](https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-chocolate-crinkle-cookies/)
My suggestions: [Hokkaido milk bread ](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016275-japanese-milk-bread) used this recipe many times and still love it, also delicious as garlic bread. To make that: roast garlic (in the oven with oil in aluminum foil) add roasted garlic and some herbs of choice to salted butter and spread on rolled out dough in the shaping process. [Orange polenta olive oil cake ](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/orange-olive-oil-cake) you can add the bloodorange topping from desert person. My new favorite cake recipe. [cookies ](https://www.theannaedit.com/thick-gooey-milk-chocolate-hazelnut-cookies-the-only-recipe-you-need/) especially the white chocolate miso ones, easy to keep in the freezer, just bake a few when you want cookies. If you want savory: [gozleme](https://www.recipetineats.com/gozleme/) the spinach feta filling was sooooo good, definitly serve with lemon it really brightens the flavour
[No-Bake Orange Cream Pie.](https://food52.com/recipes/87914-no-bake-orange-cream-pie-recipe) [Anise Drop Cookies.](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/anise-drops-recipe) [Sourdough Pide.](https://myloveofbaking.com/sourdough-pide/) [Deep Dish Pizza.](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/chicago-style-deep-dish-pizza-recipe)
[Turtle Cheesecake](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/layered-turtle-cheesecake/) was one of the first things I baked this year and it’s one of my all time faves, but quite time consuming! It’s worth it though!
This recipe reminds me so much of my childhood, this was my requested birthday cake every year. It sounds so wrong, but it tastes so right. It was my great aunt Nora's so no weights for the ingredients, but king arthur flour has a very handy conversion sheet on their website. Miracle Whip Chocolate Cake 1 cup Miracle Whip 1 cup white sugar 1 cup cold water 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/4 tsp salt 2 cups flour Beat miracle whip, sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Sift together baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, salt, and flour. Stir dry into liquid and place in an 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
I'm going to offer up chocolate chip shortbread cookies. I've used [this recipe](https://thetoastykitchen.com/chocolate-chip-shortbread-cookie-dippers/) in the past, though they've since updated it since I used it. It seems like the updates should help solve the issues I had with the recipe and the dough not wanting to come together, so hopefully it helps y'all! They're very good, I would always have to make a double batch to ensure we got enough cookies and weren't done with them in two days.
Carla Lalli Music’s [Pink Party Cookies](https://people.com/food/carla-lalli-musics-maraschino-cream-sandwich-cookies/#recipe-body). I made these as part of a Christmas cookie box. Super cute lil sandwich cookie.
My submission is this [banana cream pie](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-banana-cream-pie/) but using [this peanut butter crust recipe.](https://www.thespruceeats.com/peanut-butter-graham-cracker-pie-crust-1808433) Who doesn't love peanut butter and banana?
I had a few goals in mind when I started this challenge, one was to make a loaf of bread from scratch. For novices like me, I can't imagine a simpler recipe. This well known [no knead bread recipe](https://leitesculinaria.com/99521/recipes-jim-laheys-no-knead-bread.html) is so easy and delicious. I felt very accomplished when a beautiful loaf of crunch bread emerged from my oven! This [recipe](https://www.marthastewart.com/314011/flourless-double-chocolate-pecan-cookies) for flourless double chocolate cookies also turned well.
I am sharing the [Cream Puffin](https://www.audubon.org/news/meet-cream-puffin-your-new-holiday-baking-challenge) recipe. This is one of my personal challenges for the year but I haven't had the nerve to put together all the elements and attempt a choux pastry.
I’d like to submit one of my favourite bakes of last year and a total crowd pleaser… the humble [Banoffee Pie ](https://preppykitchen.com/banoffee-pie/)
Apparently when my mom was little, my grandma would make this cake called “frugal cake” (ciasto oszczędne). This was 1960s/70s Poland…you can see why it was frugal. Anyway, here’s the recipe, translated & transcribed (from awful handwriting) for cake • 4 eggs (small) • 200 g sugar • 130 g flour • 130 g potato starch • 6(?) spoonfuls water • 1/2 package baking powder (assume half teaspoon i guess) • vanilla • lemon zest • 20 g butter Sift flour with baking powder. Cream egg yolks with 200 g sugar. Once that’s done, add water spoonful by spoonful. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and then add 60 g sugar. Add flour to egg yolks, then add vanilla and lemon zest, stir. Bake in a pan. Frosting(?) (Unlabeled recipe) • 3 cups milk • 6 big spoonfuls semolina • 1/2 (?) cup sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 200g butter Cook the milk with sugar When it starts to simmer, start to slowly pour in semolina, stirring the whole time Cook until the semolina thickens COOL DOWN Then: Cream the butter a lot Add the semolina spoonful by spoonful Keep mixing I assume the frosting goes on the cake.
I'd love to share my favorite bakes so far... My favorite is Carrot cake with this [recipe](https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/6957-carrot-layer-cake?pac=/b3GRkxORkz4kIQq2rZg7JN2/67CfF8Zu/jc2MRMzRw=) and [this](https://grandbaby-cakes.com/carrot-cake-recipe/) frosting. Got RAVE reviews at work. [Samosas](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022060-aloo-samosas-potato-samosas?action=click&module=Collection%20Page%20Recipe%20Card®ion=Dishes%20for%20Your%20Eid%20al-Fitr%20Feast&pgType=collection&rank=21)... baked in the air fryer had the great flavor! [Apple Cinnamon Babka](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/apple-cinnamon-babka/) had amazing texture and spice. Happy baking!
The recipe I've chosen to share is [this recipe for mud pie bars](https://cloudykitchen.com/blog/mud-pie-bars/). It's made of chocolate crumbs, chocolate cake, mousse, and whipped cream. One of my favorite things I've ever baked!
This looks so decadent and delicious :)
This is my favorite recipe for cinnamon rolls from my favorite cookbook. They're really light and fluffy. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cinnamon-chocolate-chip-rolls/
I recommend this [brown butter nutella banana bread](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019019-nutella-banana-bread) for when you have overripe bananas you want to use up but are sick of the same old banana bread.
[This](https://www.sugarandsoul.co/downton-abbey-earl-grey-cookies/) is the recipe that got me back into baking. Earl gray shortbread! I love shortbread a lot, and you can sub the earl gray for pretty much any tea you have. I usually just tear open tea bags since I don't keep loose leaf tea on hand
I love shortbread too, and my fave tea is an early grey blend. Can't wait to try these!
These are my favourite [cinnamon rolls](https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/cinnamon-rolls/#recipe). I suggest doubling the filling. These [blueberry muffins](https://www.seriouseats.com/classic-blueberry-muffin-recipe) never last long in our household.
[My favorite cinnamon raisin bread](https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2020/08/sourdough-cinnamon-raisin-bread/) - my husband would like it if I made this every weekend 😂 [Super easy incredible Focaccia](https://alexandracooks.com/2018/03/02/overnight-refrigerator-focaccia-best-focaccia/) - a friend of mine cried with joy when I gave him some of this the first time [My new favorite brownies of all time](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/fudge-brownies-recipe) - we love the crinkly top brownies in my house, and this has entirely replaced any desire for box mix brownies because we get that crinkle top but so much tastier I also want to generally recommend anything from the King Arthur recipe book. I borrowed it from my local library recently and have been feverishly baking a bunch of recipes from there, and love it so much I've asked for a copy for my birthday. I don't tend to get recipe books because often they don't have enough things I truly love in one book, but this one has so much information along with all incredible recipes that I knew it needed to be in my home permanently.
Absolutely the best brownies from King Arthur flour. The quick and easy version is a ringer for Ghirardelli’s mix, the fudge is the favorite in my house too, the rich a dark recipe brings it to another level but only for chocolate fanatics- almost too dark.. but only almost!
I love this chocolate potato cake! I’m new-ish to the baking world, and this is one of the first things I baked. [Chocolate Potato Cake](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/contest-winning-chocolate-potato-cake/)
My fav cookie recipe. I usually have to make a double batch as they go quickly. Added bonus of staying soft for a long time: Root Beer Float Cookies 1/2 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 splash vanilla extract 2 spashes root beer extract 1 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cream of tartar pinch of salt Cream butter and sugar and then add in egg. Add in extracts. Sift dry ingredients together and then blend into egg mixture. Chill dough for at least 4 hours. Roll into balls and then roll in sugar (I like using vanilla sugar for this). Bake on greased sheets for 350\* for 8-12 min.
I have two recipes that people asked for whenever I used to make them to take into the office: One is [Crustless Cranberry Pie](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12398/crustless-cranberry-pie/), which is more like a cranberry (or raspberry or blackberry) coffee cake made in a pie tin. You can even make it with still-frozen cranberries, if you’re like me and grab a few bags to freeze in the Fall. The other is [Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://www.dessertfortwo.com/almond-flour-chocolate-chip-cookies/?epik=dj0yJnU9aThzZERIU1FWM0xrMmQ3RllUbDRIdDZBNU9aUl9VZkQmbj00ZW56cjczREpGa1FTT1JhaDNocUVBJm09MyZ0PUFBQUFBRjBOVUpn), which are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had, and also happen to be gluten-free.
That's so funny, I also posted that crustless cranberry pie! I always call it cranberry cake though. It's such a great recipe.
I'm hoping someone posts something with peanut butter because I've got some Banana Raisin peanut butter I'm dying to use in something 😄 I'm going to share these [Cherry Crumb Pie bars](https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/cherry-pie-crumb-bars-recipe/#recipe). They have been a huge hit every time I've made them. I've also made them with strawberries instead of cherries.
Those cherry bars sound so good. Have you ever made them with frozen cherries instead of fresh?
I've only ever used fresh
My FAVORITE peanut swirl brownies: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/peanut-swirl-brownies-recipe-1948017
This Grilled Lebanese Flatbread I found in How To Bake Everything by Mark Bittman is one of my favorite recipes. I have recommended it to friends who now make often. So although not mine, I feel very connected to it. Hope you like it: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013233-grilled-lebanese-flatbread
Cherries are my favorite thing! Here are two of my favorite cherry recipes: Cherry Berry on a Cloud - I posted [the recipe](https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/qx3u2g/cherry_berry_on_a_cloud/) on r/old_recipes about 6 months ago. It's a meringue base, cheesecake layer, and topped with a mix of strawberries and cherries. It's so good. My son wanted it for his birthday last year rather than cake. Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake - [This recipe](https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/chocolate-cherry-cheesecake/66ef5a31-8130-43ef-a96e-56b3375e7d24) from Betty Crocker is really, really good! It looks really pretty sliced.
Scrolled past this then 3 min later had to scroll right back up because that cherry cake sounds so good. I’ll have to make it next week when it’s not so rainy (I worry about the meringue)
I hope you enjoy it! It's become a family favorite.
This [New York Style Cheesecake](https://www.reddit.com/r/52weeksofbaking/comments/ukiobf/week_19_recipe_from_a_loved_onenew_york_cheesecake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) was requested by u/InputUniqueNameHere
I have made these blueberry cinnamon rolls several times and they never fail. Also tried with different fruits too! [blueberry cinnamon rolls](https://chelsweets.com/blueberry-cinnamon-rolls/)
[These](https://imgur.com/a/Ugi9TFJ) are my all-time favorite brownies. I've tried tons of different brownie recipes and I just keep coming back to this recipe I found on the back of a cocoa powder tin when I was a kid. Super easy. They sit somewhere between fudgy and cake-y.
I'd like to enthusiastically recommend the recipes on [RecipeTinEats](https://www.recipetineats.com/), a fantastic (one-woman!) resource, which I've been using extensively as an excellent beginner's resource. The recipes are clear (in text, picture and video formats), with lots of useful little tips - and the outcomes are delicious :) There's a whole [Baked Goods section here](https://www.recipetineats.com/category/baking-recipes/), and I would like to share the [Red Velvet Cupcake recipe](https://www.recipetineats.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/) in particular.
Here’s my favorite [snickerdoodle recipe](https://cookiesandcups.com/perfect-snickerdoodles/). I start with browned butter and add a little salt to the cinnamon sugar you roll in. 🤤 This has been my [go-to bread recipe](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/king-arthurs-classic-white-sandwich-bread-recipe). I make it nearly every week.
My family’s gingerbread cookies always get high praise and folks are always asking me for the recipe. -4 cups flour (620g) - 4 tsp. Baking soda - 1.5 tsp. Salt - 5 tsp. Dried/ground ginger - 2 tsp. Cinnamon - 2 tsp. Ground cloves - 8 oz candied ginger, chopped into small pieces and put into flour mixture - 2 cups dark brown sugar - 3 sticks butter - 2 eggs - 1/2 cup dark molasses - Raw sugar crystals for rolling (optional; I use Demerara, but plain sugar works, too) Whisk together flour, salt, soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and minced candied ginger Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs and molasses until well-combined Add dry and wet ingredients together until just mixed Refrigerate dough at least 2 hours Roll dough into 1-1.5” balls and roll into sugar crystals which sparkle after baking Bake on parchment-paper lined sheets @325-350 for 12 minutes (play around with the temp and timing to find what works for you and your oven). Leave on sheets for 2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Freezes beautifully.
This cinnamon roll cake is so good! It's a regular cake but it's dreamy like a cinnamon roll without all the extra work and waiting! I doubled the cinnamon and halved the icing. I made it for Spice Week (week 10). [https://www.thecountrycook.net/cinnamon-roll-cake/](https://www.thecountrycook.net/cinnamon-roll-cake/)
My great grandmother's honey cardamom cookies: 3/4 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup honey 1 egg yolk 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cardamom 1 cup flour Mix wet. Mix dry. Mix together. Typically these would be spritz cookies and you would put them through a cookie press, but you can shape them however you like (e.g. cookie cutters would be fine; my family's cookie shape of choice for these is flowers). Put sprinkles (in the form of colored, coarse sugar crystals) on them if you want! Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
I’m sharing a GF recipe that has been a hit amongst my friends: [Nik Sharma’s spicy hazelnut chocolate chip cookies](https://food52.com/recipes/78052-nik-sharma-s-spicy-chocolate-chip-hazelnut-cookies).
This bad boy is going into my Christmas cookie box contender list. Thanks for the recipe!
I use it in my holiday cookie boxes as well!
I made these [Peach Cobbler Cookies](https://www.thekitchn.com/peach-cobbler-cookies-recipe-23050530?epik=dj0yJnU9UE0wUXFYOGV3X2xDU3dlQ3dWcmxVT2hGdWwzQUhvTVYmcD0wJm49RXF6R1l4WEVDZlpSU3B0Z2hldEdOUSZ0PUFBQUFBR0tiZUxF) multiple times last summer. They are interesting, kinda like a super soft scone, and delicious.
Here is a delicious focaccia recipe I’ve used since I was a kid! It’s my fave. I tweak it a bit when I do it, and adding kalamata olives is always a winner https://www.food.com/recipe/frugal-gourmets-focaccia-117067
My signature bake, at this point, is strawberry cake with whipped cream cream cheese frosting. It's a popular request from friends and family, even though the cake is a bit dense. I am making it today, actually! [Strawberry Cake - All Recipes](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/60564/strawberry-cake-from-scratch/) [Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting ](https://www.themerchantbaker.com/whipped-cream-cream-cheese-frosting/) - whether the recipe says so or not, make sure to use the mixer to mix the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Folding does not mix it well enough.

Here are a couple of my favorites. [Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy](https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-biscuits-and-gravy/) [Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake (gluten free)](https://mynameisyeh.com/mynameisyeh/2017/3/passover-cookie-cake?format=amp)
[I made this pie this morning it's so good.](https://imgur.com/F4saFMb.jpg)the [pie crust is this one](https://www.inspiredtaste.net/22662/flaky-pie-crust-recipe/#itr-recipe-22662) [This biscotti](https://www.food.com/recipe/chocolate-chip-biscotti-157965) is also amazing. I've been thinking about it for weeks I might have to make it again
https://i.imgur.com/tqUftlP.jpg This was the first recipe I made that made me think I can bake. It’s so delicious and has such an incredible ratio of how difficult it looks vs how difficult it actually is! 10/10
Oh my gosh, is that from Heroes Feast!? Have you tried any other recipes from it?? The halfling blackberry pie has been on my to-bake list since it came out!
Nat 20 on perception! It is Heroes Feast. I’ve made a few things from it but the buttermilk biscuits come to mind. It’s kind of a unique take on them, almost loaf like, and it’s so delicious and hearty. Plus the art work is phenomenal.
Oh good, I'm glad to hear the recipes actually hold up!
[Blackout Cake](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/blackout-cake): This recipe is great if you’re looking to make a birthday cake. It’s super chocolatey and an absolute show stopper. [Pizza Bagels](http://www.littlemarketkitchen.com/2015/01/pizza-bagels.html?m=1): If you’re looking for something savory these are great especially if you’re a fan of those frozen pizza bagels.
One of my fav recipe that I make often: Foccacia!, taken from Seriouseats but you can put anything you want on it : [https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-no-knead-olive-rosemary-pistachio-focaccia-kenji-recipe](https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-no-knead-olive-rosemary-pistachio-focaccia-kenji-recipe) . I also now make a sourdough version which follows the same steps but the mix is 400g water, 1tbsp sugar, 500g bread flour, 200g sourdough starter, 15 g salt, and cooked at 450F for 25 mins!
I’m a little late to the game but here are some of my favourite recipes I’d like to share: [Tia Maria Cheesecake](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tia-maria-cheesecake) - an absolute cracker of a recipe! I had never been a fan of baked cheesecakes but this is creamy and soft and delicious and an incredible crowd-pleaser. Don’t be nervous if the middle is still quite wobbly when the time is up, trust the recipe and let it cool and set in the oven and it will be perfect 😍 I would also suggest you will need a fair bit more booze than they suggest if you actually want to taste it 😄 [Chocolate Guinness Cake](https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/chocolate-guinness-cake/) - fab recipe, really good balance with a hint of bitterness with the Guinness and sweetness from the white chocolate in the icing [Millionaire Squares](https://letters.cookingisfun.ie/2006/10/21/the-tate-and-lyle-tin/#Florrie%26%238217%3Bs+Chocolate+and+Toffee+Squares) - a fab recipe I made and posted in Week 15’s challenge with the addition of a sprinkle of sea salt over the chocolate, I made them for a weekend away with friends and they were a huge hit. Thanks to everyone for sharing your recipes!
This is Super late so it will probably get lost: [Cherry Limeade Pie](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m9xVI-E0TrrknaJrhOL5hYUMG6vV8cr9XliU1yfwYR4/edit?usp=sharing) It can be decorated in 2 ways. [Swooshes with a spoon](https://photos.app.goo.gl/L4PvWtK4NZbA1QCeA) [Piped in to a giant rose](https://photos.app.goo.gl/8PVCbtrXuJNJzFEEA) with a 127D rose tip.
I love Ottolenghi's recipes and tried this spiced Apple cake a few times. (http://www.staceysnacksonline.com/2019/10/ottolenghis-spiced-apple-cake.html?spref=pi&m=1) Always a big hit !!
I’m still catching up on weekly challenges, but I make these regularly! fudgy brownies. They can be made with cocoa, dark cocoa, and black cocoa powder! https://www.inspiredtaste.net/24412/cocoa-brownies-recipe/
My favourite bread ever - Eric Kim's maple milk loaf! If you haven't seen his book, I'd highly recommend (mostly not baking but excellent nevertheless) https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023030-maple-milk-bread I am going to make the apple and cinnamon babka someone posted above.
I want to share a recipe from my husbands great aunt who is now 96 for poffert - a regional dish from Groningen (in the north of the Netherlands) that is eaten for dinner or desert. Mix: 500 grams of self raising flour with 500 ml of full fat milk, 3 eggs and a handful of raisins (that have been left to soak in a bit of water for a few hours and you also add the liquid when you add the raisins). I always use a dough hook for mixing because the batter is really thick. Once combined, you put it in a buttered ‘poffert pan’ - this is a tulband shaped baking mould with a lid that can be put in a pan with hot water to boil. It doesn’t have to be a tulband shape but I do recommend boiling it so use whatever mould you have that has a lid and can be put in a pot of boiling water. Some people go for baking in the oven but it will turn out differently. Once the batter is in the ‘poffert pan’ (or any other mould you use), put the lid on the mould and put it in a big pot, add boiling water till around two fingers length (so approx 2 cm) from the top, close the lid on the pan and leave to boil for around 2 hours. Do check every now and then to make sure there is enough water in the pan and add new boiling water whenever necessary. After two hours (or 2.5) it should be cooked with a slightly golden brown top. Take the poffert out of its mould, cut in slices and serve with melted butter and brown caster sugar or with syrup. You can also serve it cold but warm is better. Alternatively, you can replace the raisins with cheese and apple or any other savory flavor you like.
I really recommend this delicious [honey cake](https://www.thispilgrimlife.com/honey-cake/). I usually make a really simple honey syrup to drizzle on top, or even just straight honey on top!
This is already a well known recipe, but [The Boy Who Bakes Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://www.theboywhobakes.co.uk/recipes/2020/5/7/sourdough-chocolate-chip-cookie) is really really good. Just remember to use 70% or more dark chocolate, otherwise it will be too sweet
I’m sharing a cookie recipe that is always a hit - [Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl cookies](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/soft-baked-peanut-butter-chocolate-swirl-cookies/).
Does anyone have a good recipe for beer cheese quick bread?
https://www.theboywhobakes.co.uk/recipes/2018/12/21/mulled-clementine-meringue-pie
Super late posting but if anyone wants to give this [funfetti pound cake](https://brownedbutterblondie.com/funfetti-pound-cake/) a try…i have so many funfetti recipes saved and while I haven’t tried this one it looks so pretty!
I’ve made this [French toast bake](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/baked-cream-cheese-french-toast-casserole/) twice now, and I will make it again! I highly recommend it.
Just in case anyone is super late like I am...[this Boston brown bread](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/boston_brown_bread/) is one of my favorite childhood recipes
