Black cat, cross my path – good fortune bring to home and hearth. When I am away from home, bring me luck wherever I roam. I’ve got this black cat who simply adores pumpkin. Whenever a container of pumpkin is cracked open, he will come running from near or far, nose sniffing the air to determine the location of his favorite treat. He certainly crossed my path a few times while I put together this pie, ready to mop up any stray dollops of pumpkin puree.
I’m kicking off Project Food Blog with some fancypants little cakes. Over the next few months, I’ll be taking on a number of challenges that will inspire me to attempt new feats of blogging (provided that I advance through each round). To start off, I’ll tell you a little about myself and what makes Simple Math Bakery tick. Whether you’re a new visitor or one of my old friends, I hope you’ll enjoy my blog’s version of This I Believe. The aroma of nutty whole wheat pastry crust, browning butter, and melting cheese hung in the air as this galette baked. I resisted the urge to pull it from the oven before it was finished baking. Quickly and carefully, I transferred the piping hot galette to a fresh piece of parchment paper for its photo shoot. I snapped a few quick (blurry) photos, then got to work slicing and eating this galette. When you make this for yourself, you’ll understand.
I think they’d partake in a little bit of self-promotion, don’t you? These cupcakes are delicious, and they know it! It wasn’t much of a challenge to figure out what they were saying to me. Rich chocolate and dark brown sugar offset the flavors of Guinness perfectly. Topped with Bailey’s Irish Cream frosting, these cupcakes definitely make a statement!
I have to confess: I don’t often use nuts in my baked creations. But sometimes I make an exception. This cake is one of those exceptions. The toasted hazelnuts add just the right flavor to the coffee and bittersweet chocolate. |
