Posted on August 3, 2016 by sparecake

These are thick, crunchy cookies with a flavor I enjoyed. I don’t think they shouted BROWN BUTTER, but it’s definitely in there, and I thought it went well with the white chocolate. Once you’ve got the butter browned, everything else … Continue reading →

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Posted on July 13, 2016 by sparecake

Realistically, this is a most-things-less cake, as it only has 3 (or 4) ingredients! It is, as you’ll guess from the ingredient list, super rich – one of my coworkers said it was like injecting cacao directly into your veins … Continue reading →

‘Greek’ Hummus

Posted on July 6, 2016 by sparecake

This is so simple it hardly counts as a recipe, but I really like it! It’s both quite spinach-y and hummus-y, and I think would be good as a veggie dip. I threw it in a wrap with some more … Continue reading →

A few months ago, I heard about the existence of a bike ride called the Tam Slam. For obvious reasons, this got me thinking of Tim Tam Slams. If you’re not familiar, a Tim Tam Slam is when you take … Continue reading →

Raspberry Crème Brûlée

Posted on May 30, 2016 by sparecake

This is a weird one, as it neither uses cream nor… brulees? Anyway you don’t use a torch or a broiler! I’ll admit it’s been years since I’ve had proper creme brulee, but this really grew on me, especially with … Continue reading →

Gluten Free (Baked) Donuts

Posted on April 11, 2016 by sparecake

These are some fairly plain, but tasty, donuts. At least until you top them, at which point they can become pretty fun! They definitely went over well with the friends whose house I brought them to! I just got my … Continue reading →

Posted on April 6, 2016 by sparecake

My friend Mary Kate was in town (aka 4 hours away in Denver, which is as close as anyone ever has any reason to get) last weekend, so I needed a cookie that worked with her food allergies, the incredibly … Continue reading →

Fudge Oatmeal Bars

Posted on April 4, 2016 by sparecake

Someone a block up from me was giving away cookbooks a few weeks ago. I’m not sure how much use I have for 101 Things to do with Zucchini, but this Ivy Bake Shoppe Cookbook has several recipes that look … Continue reading →

White Chocolate Fluffernutter Cake Bars

Posted on March 21, 2016 by sparecake

This is definitely the most delicious thing I’ve eaten in a while! It’s sweet, with that fluffernutter flavor New England people are contractually obligated to love, and where the topping and the cake layer meet it stays a little bit … Continue reading →

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake

Posted on January 20, 2016 by sparecake

This is a tasty cake, and it’s also very dense. This makes it a good option when you need a cake that can travel because, say, your gluten-free friend’s family got a giant, non-gf cake for the friend’s graduation party. … Continue reading →
