photo: nookandpantry.blogspot.com Tiramisu Brownie Ingredients: Espresso Brownie Base: 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pats 1 Tbsp instant espresso powder (or sub 2 Tbsp of Kahlua - I have not tried this) 1/2 C sugar 2 eggs 1/2 C AP flour Pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Mascarpone Filling: 8 oz. mascarpone 1/2 C marsala 1/4 C sugar 1 C whipping cream Topping: Dark chocolate Instructions: Make the brownie: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a 8 x 8 baking pan with a sheet of foil to make the brownies easy to lift out. You can grease the foil but I didn't. Melt the butter and chocolate in a large bowl over a bain marie or in a microwave on low power, about 30% (whisk between intervals to insure even heating). Whisk in the espresso powder to the warm chocolate. Then whisk in the sugar, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Finally add the flour and mix until just incorporated (do not overmix). Spread the batter into the baking pan

Let simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Brush chicken with the sauce. Turn pieces over, and brush again. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn pieces over, and bake for another 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Brush with sauce every 10 minutes during cooking.

I just made this today! So good! Very rich. Next time I make it I might use half milk chocolate and half semisweet for the ganache. But the filling is pretty spot on even though it seemed like an odd concept. It was almost too buttery (if that’s even possible) so next time I’ll try half butter half shortening. All in all an awesome recipe and an impressive looking cake! Recipe >> Ding Dong Cake @ Chocolatechocolateandmore.com

A moist and flavorful recipe that makes a large quantity of cake. I have been hounded to make this cake time and time again.. Before I decided to try this cake I read every single review, paying careful attention to those who did not like the cake very much. Though the overwhelming majority, of which I am now a part, liked this cake very much I understand that you learn a lot more about something by learning what people did not like about it. So, after having made the cake I have a few suggestions for those who didn’t like the cake.  Most of the complaints where that the cake was too heavy or that it was too moist or “pudding like” A solution to this might be to strain the carrots and pineapple more before adding them in to the cake batter. I know the recipe doesn’t specify but I strained the carrots and the pineapple until they where almost dry and added about 2 – 3 tablespoons of the strained liquid back in. I also hydrated the raisins a bit by letting them sit in a cup of warm water

I tried long and hard to find the ultimate cinnamon bun recipe for bread machines...this is it. They are so soft and yummy! Soft, Moist and Gooey Cinnamon Buns makes 2 dozen buns Ingredients: 1 cup milk 1 egg, beaten 4 tablespoons melted butter 4 tablespoons water 1/2 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix 4 cups bread flour 1 tablespoon white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 1/4 cup raisins (optional) 1 teaspoon milk 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 4 tablespoons butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: In a bread machine pan, place the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, water, vanilla pudding mix, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies Ingredients:

One Hour Cinnamon Rolls I will give step by step instructions, and the complete recipe is at the end. Start by putting warm water, sugar, oil, and yeast in your mixer bowl.  Mix a little bit, then let it sit for 15 minutes. Now add salt, eggs, and flour.  Put the lid on and mix it for 10 minutes.  Turn it off and let it sit for 10 minutes. Oil your cupboard (don’t use flour).  Dump your dough out and divide in half. Press your dough into a basic rectangle shape with your hands.  When I talked to my mom, she told me she never uses a rolling pin.  Just her hands.   Melt 1/2 cube of butter (or margarine, whatever you have is fine) and pour it onto the dough.  Spread it out (I use my hands…much easier and faster). Take your cinnamon-sugar mixture and spread evenly over the dough.  Don’t forget your edges!   If  you want to add raisins, at the beginning, put them in warm water to plump them up.  Then sprinkle them on at this point. Now you need to roll up your dough.  You want it tight, but

Loved this recipe! I used unsalted buter so it didn't have that buttery taste, and you also have to make sure the butter is softened at room temperature. Don't try to cheat and melt the butter in the microwave - you will get soup.  This was an excellent frosting! I hit the jackpot when I found this one! It has a light and smooth texture and was perfect for my son's birthday cake. The flour mixture should be cooked until it is thick, like gravy. It doesn't have to form a "ball" as I don't know what that means either, like one of the reviews I read. Let it cool to room temperature b4 adding to the butter/sugar mixture. I followed this recipe exactly and used granulated sugar.  If you beat the frosting long enough, you won't get that gritty taste and the sugar dissolves if the flour mixture is just the right temperature. It did not take the full 15 minutes to beat though, more like 6 minutes. If you give it a chance, this is a very good frosting! Get the

Delicious cake with scrumptious icing!! I made a double batch of icing to make sure there was enough....was able to generously ice the cake and had icing left over...well worth the effort....will definitely bake this one again! I made this cake as a two-layered round cake by upping the servings to 36. The cakes themselves did have to cook for about 30 min and I did add more milk, as suggested in other reviews. The cake was moist but not super light and tasted like caramel...mmmm. The icing made me a bit nervous as I'd never used a candy thermometer before...and I was concerned after reading other reviews that said it was thin. I used an electric mixer and beat it in the pot after it cooled (which took less than a minute after I removed it from the heat). I beat it for about 3 minutes and then let it rest. It thickened considerably but not to the point where I could use it on my cake so I beat it for another three minutes and let it rest for about 2 more and by then it had started t
