Vanilla Cupcakes
I adore Dan Lepard. And I adore his vanilla cupcakes recipe. Dan’s one of those precise bakers and cookbook writers who, when he says “beat for 30 seconds,” means “beat for EXACTLY 30 seconds.” No more and no less. And you better listen, because he not only takes the guesswork out of baking, he always adds a…

Individual Coconut Cakes
[Photograph: Quentin Bacon] These snow-white little cakes are as delicious as any coconut sweet I’ve ever tasted.

It will take about 5 minutes longer to bake; test for doneness with the point of a…
MY FAVORITE CRAB CAKES (REALLY)
We love crab cakes but I was a little nervous making these because of the mayo. (My husband HATES mayo.) I left out the cilantro because he hates that, too, and added more lemon juice and zest. They were fabulous. But the ultimate compliment came from him: He said, “you know, even though I love…

Blueberry-Cornmeal Cakes
Don’t recipes that claim to be best the same day annoy you? I know there are perfectly good reasons for why this may be true but I don’t care. I’m often baking for Bryan and I and if we were to eat everything I made in one day we would likely be dead by now.…
Corn Cakes
No one’s been quite been able to explain the popularity of canned corn in France to me. But the explanation of why fresh corn isn’t familiar – or eaten – is that fresh corn is considered animal feed. Which still doesn’t explain how something isn’t fit for human consumption if it’s raw, but if it’s…
Mascarpone Brownies
We have an indecisive sweet tooth. We hold the same passion for desserts that are ridiculously fussy and complicated, as we do for ones that involve a single bowl and whisk that can be whipped up in a jiffy. This recipe combines the best of both worlds and creates a dessert that sounds ridiculously fussy,…
