Viennese Sablés (Marquisettes)

I have always loved Delacre’s Mar­quisette cook­ies, which I used to pur­chase from spe­cial­ty stores grow­ing up. When I returned home from uni­ver­si­ty, I was dis­mayed to find that they were no longer avail­able at any of the places I had used to fre­quent, and knew that I had to try to make some viable alter­na­tive.  The prin­ci­pal issue I’ve had in mak­ing these sablés is get­ting them to retain their ‘shell’ shape. Since the mix­ture has the con­sis­ten­cy of… Con­tin­ue Reading

Ube Cake

My moth­er, hav­ing spent her child­hood in the Philip­pines, loves ube, a pur­ple yam com­mon­ly enjoyed there — so, for her birth­day, I knew I want­ed to try mak­ing her an ube cake. It took a lit­tle exper­i­men­ta­tion to get both the tex­ture and fla­vor right, espe­cial­ly as the fla­vor of ube can be quite sub­tle, but I was rather pleased with the end result and am excit­ed to share it! If you’ve nev­er had ube, it’s a lit­tle dif­fi­cult to describe how… Con­tin­ue Reading

Goat Cheese Cheesecake

I quite like cheese­cake, but was nev­er moti­vat­ed enough to try mak­ing it myself — until I tried the goat cheese cheese­cake at one of my favorite restau­rants in San Diego, The Smok­ing Goat. It was love at first bite, and I knew I had to try recre­at­ing it, espe­cial­ly after mov­ing away from SoCal post-col­lege. Now, goat cheese cheese­cake may sound a lit­tle off-putting at first blush, but the only real dif­fer­ence between it and clas­sic cheese­cake is that… Con­tin­ue Reading

Black Forest Cake

Black for­est cake has long been among my per­son­al favorites, so much so that I used to go to the bak­ery and buy a full 9″ one for no occa­sion at all, and just eat it for dessert through­out the week. I was, how­ev­er, much less a fan of pay­ing the req­ui­site $40 each time I allowed myself that par­tic­u­lar indul­gence. So I tried to make my own, and after some tri­al and error, this is the result! To be… Con­tin­ue Reading

Mango Cake

My fam­i­ly loves man­go, and I love cake (I do, it so hap­pens, also love man­go), so it made sense to try putting the two togeth­er. The result was this love­ly man­go cake, which has man­go puree in the cake itself, the cream, and spread gen­er­ous­ly between lay­ers and on top. I must admit that I find it a bit tedious to make, but I think the end prod­uct is well-worth it and has been quite pop­u­lar with my friends… Con­tin­ue Reading
