Ok, I have been bragging to everyone about my first successful bread venture with the so-called No Knead method of bread making. It's so easy that you can't go wrong, it's idiot proof.<br />
I had been baking the 'white' bread version of it for a little while, but I wanted to make a healthier option, so I found this recipe, click <a href="http://www.culinate.com/recipes/collections/Contributors/ellen_jackson/no_knead_bread">here</a>. It is SO good... and only takes 5-10 min. total to make (not including waiting for the dough to rise for 20 hours). You do need a heavy pot with a lid.<br />

Wedding cake for Danish wedding, april 2012. I did not do the flower decoration, but did a white chocolate lime ganache and a blueberry mousse. I also helped build the cake. My cake partner did a<br />
lovely caramel mousse and was in charge of making the cake look blossoming.Sushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01580368105346139614noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892745732425304539.post-69902490590304986402011-09-06T07:27:00.000-07:002011-09-06T07:30:37.613-07:00Old school celebrity Baker opens shop in BrooklynRead about this new <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/09/05/2011-09-05_how_sweet_it_is_famed_baker_opens_own_shop_in_bklyn.html">Bakery in Brooklyn</a> opened by a retired baker.

<br />
Today, after a very proper early breakfast of organic oats + soy milk, I cut myself a thin slice of the birthday cake I'd baked for my boss and coworker (two birthdays two days apart = happy serendipity for this baker) -- and then went back for seconds. It was hard <i>not </i>to: think four layers of fluffy vanilla cake sandwiching thick, fudgey chocolate ganache and enrobed in a not-too-sweet coffee buttercream. <i>Miam miam. </i><br />
<br />
I ate my cake with a steaming hot cup of Blue Bottle coffee made by my Italians who run the Jackson Place Cafe from the alley-way next door -- but of course. And in fact, because the sun has finally made an appearance in San Francisco (no minor occurrence in July), I'm soon going back to treat myself to a soy latte + roasted vegetable panini for lunch. And I'm bringing them a hefty slice of this cake. Those who make my coffee -- and perfectly, I might add -- deserve a treat, too.<br />
<br />
After, I might have a third piece of cake. It's Wednesday, after all -- though in truth you needn't an excuse to bake this cake any old day. It's simply <i>good.</i><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Coffee Buttercream Frosting</b><br />
<br />
Cake<br />
<br />
4 eggs, separated<br />
1 cup milk<br />
3 cups cake flour (sift and then measure)<br />
4 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 cup (2 sticks) unsweetened butter, softened<br />
2 cups sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch baking pans and line the bottom of each with parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.<br />
<br />
2. Stir baking powder and salt into cake flour.<br />
<br />
3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the four egg yolks one at a time. Add the vanilla to the mixture.<br />
<br />
4. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with one third of the flour. Stir just until the flour is incorporated.<br />
<br />
5. In another bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Stir one third of the egg whites into the batter, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ganache<br />
<br />
1 1/4 cup heavy cream <br />
2 cups chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Place the chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just before boiling. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk to melt all of the chocolate and to combine well. Let the ganache cool on the counter or in the fridge until thick and spreadable.<br />
<br />
Buttercream<br />
<br />
1 stick (1/4 pound) butter, room temperature<br />
2 cups powdered sugar<br />
4 teaspoons espresso or coffee<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add the powdered sugar and combine well. Add the coffee and the vanilla. Add more sugar for consistency if desired. Add more coffee for consistency or to taste.<br />
<br />
To assemble: cut each cake layer in half and fill with the ganache (you will divide the ganache into thirds when filling). Frost with the buttercream.nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18132697498722002098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892745732425304539.post-37268554645448396852011-07-05T09:18:00.000-07:002011-07-05T12:45:51.449-07:00Remains of the Day<div>We were a little late in photographing our cake feast at <a href="http://ticktockdinerny.com/Tick_Tock_Diner_N.Y..html">Tick Tock</a>.

This time I used a recipe from the <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/coconut-oatmeal-raisin-cookies-37398">internet</a>. We think they turned out well, at least together we've eaten 10 of them within 20 min.! I used vegan egg replacer, they might be a little on the crispier side of 'chewy'.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGad0zEbI0MUQzmMzL_1LC48kiBMg2ZVmY78SMIvHoqO8q5Qh8piXpl0HvxizyYfrelOlOBcoWD_1FsF-Ln-BS-TUyWZ_yn_wIxgYkFfgqzc4RdOUWi-afnwrt0cIx8W95k0vQoCsi-hWj/s1600/oatmealraisin.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGad0zEbI0MUQzmMzL_1LC48kiBMg2ZVmY78SMIvHoqO8q5Qh8piXpl0HvxizyYfrelOlOBcoWD_1FsF-Ln-BS-TUyWZ_yn_wIxgYkFfgqzc4RdOUWi-afnwrt0cIx8W95k0vQoCsi-hWj/s320/oatmealraisin.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621247892881203010" /></a><div>Do you like our 70's inspired photo?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892745732425304539.post-17168565711538971582011-06-17T05:20:00.000-07:002011-06-17T05:49:53.015-07:00Doughnut Love<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgcTHbgxUGK58vz5BBftCw4Lisz6YKJSGSnKPqZLB1i-9jpK9uw4bOZvqleFiV2fNi2IscMtidE2VHQLQWmYVMzS66yPYCuVh-xzyiJIrOv2GSIOTNaiu9M10mSaAk39-neh1yY_HBGea/s1600/donuts.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgcTHbgxUGK58vz5BBftCw4Lisz6YKJSGSnKPqZLB1i-9jpK9uw4bOZvqleFiV2fNi2IscMtidE2VHQLQWmYVMzS66yPYCuVh-xzyiJIrOv2GSIOTNaiu9M10mSaAk39-neh1yY_HBGea/s320/donuts.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619169991638000818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzYqJ9LZ_k0kqF43D3oCqCpn2QY5BDwdPzyQS2SQJ6Qrt9dv5Jb9qegMej69cZAQvivQ583SoQbruJhvaBbHdaAVtvUzAx-3zPKrrCmbho4Jg4g8Wk5x1Ey5qSLRUgRVMt4stB4ZkdDbo/s1600/donutplant.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzYqJ9LZ_k0kqF43D3oCqCpn2QY5BDwdPzyQS2SQJ6Qrt9dv5Jb9qegMej69cZAQvivQ583SoQbruJhvaBbHdaAVtvUzAx-3zPKrrCmbho4Jg4g8Wk5x1Ey5qSLRUgRVMt4stB4ZkdDbo/s320/donutplant.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619169986898297794" /></a><br />We can't count how many times we've been visiting the <a href="http://www.doughnutplant.com/">Doughnut Plant in Chelsea</a>, NYC. We've decided they make the absolute best doughnuts we've ever had... and we've sampled a few. This place is an experience. The decor is really thought out, with cute donut shaped cushions, chairs, tables. The rest room is like a mini <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_54">Studio 54</a> with whirling disco light reflections on the walls. Donut ingredients are all natural and fresh. You might almost fool yourself that you are eating a healthy treat! My favorite has to be the classic square donut with blackberry jam and vanilla bean glaze. The coconut cream donut is also great (pictured with peanut glaze).<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892745732425304539.post-26155524111421578832011-06-14T11:36:00.000-07:002011-06-14T11:46:20.588-07:00Pizze... in Rome<div>This little humble looking <a href="http://intransit.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/29/in-romes-ghetto-a-bakery-stays-sweet/">bakery</a>, the one with two Italian guys arguing in front of it, is situated in the old Jewish Quarter of Rome.
