Chocolate Charlotte Russe – Daring Bakers Challenge

28th June, 2015 By: Cath6 Comments

I was a little late this month checking out what the Daring Bakers Challenge was for June, but I am sure glad I checked as this little number turned out to be super delicious. Thankfully we were having visitors this weekend which meant I could make this dessert to share so the hubby and I wouldn’t have to eat it for the next week, not that either of us would have minded I suppose.

We were asked to create either a Charlotte Royale or a Charlotte Russe. A Charlotte Royale is made in a bowl lined with swiss roll cake slices (similar to the Southern Bombe) where the Charlotte Russe is assembled in a loose bottom pan lined with ladyfingers. I decided to go for the latter as when looking for inspiration I came across an all chocolate version which was just calling my name.

Chocingtons (Triple Chocolate Lamingtons) – Daring Bakers Challenge

27th May, 2015 By: Cath1 Comment

When this months Daring Bakers Challenge was announced, I was pretty excited as lamingtons were on the menu. You have seen me make these delightful little morsels before when I made the standard lamington covered in coconut as well as the colourful sprinkletons.

This time, I decided to go with chocolate as the main, and only, flavour and whipped up these Triple Chocolate Lamingtons which I have dubbed Chocingtons.

Tomato and Basil Focaccia – Daring Bakers Challenge

27th April, 2015 By: Cathcomment

Since we have had our Chromecast, I am even more addicted to YouTube videos than I was before. Queuing up and watching video after video is how I spend far too much time in my day (I just convince myself, and the hubby, that I am doing “research” for the blog).

Recently on the What to Watch page, a video appeared from Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube with Gennaro Contaldo which was perfectly timed given the current Daring Bakers Challenge. So using Gennaro’s version of the recipe from the video, I decided to make Tomato and Basil Focaccia.

Cinnamon Sweet Bread – Daring Bakers Challenge

2nd March, 2014 By: Cath7 Comments

I don’t know if I could live in a world without bread. Whether it be the smell of freshly baked bread or admiring the endless shapes and flavours it can assume, bread really is one of my favourite foods. And I must confess, some days you still really can’t beat butter and vegemite on a piece of fresh white bread, which in winter I usually enhance by putting it in the microwave for 20 seconds to get all warm. Mmmmmm….

But back to this months Daring Bakers Challenge which was to take bread and shape it into something a little fancy. If you follow me on Pinterest, you will see on my bread board I have a few fancy shaped breads which are on my “to do” list. For this challenge, I stuck with one of the provided recipes which was for a cinnamon sweet bread as you know how much I love cinnamon.

Christmas Candy Cane Whoopie Pies – Daring Bakers Challenge

29th December, 2013 By: Cath8 Comments

For this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge, it was time for me to try something that I had been wanting to for a while now. Whoopie Pies are an American treat which you don’t see much of here in Australia, well at least in my part of the world and are a cross between a cookie and a cake with two of them being sandwiched together by some kind of sweet filling.

For my Whoopie Pies, I originally thought of red velvet given my obsession but as it was the ~~silly~~ festive season I decided to make some Christmas Candy Cane Whoopie Pies instead using a recipe from JoyofBaking.com.

Pastel de Tres Leches (Three Milk Cake) – Daring Bakers Challenge

6th October, 2013 By: Cathcomment

A few months ago I finally signed up to be a Daring Baker, which is something I had been hearing about via some of the blogs I follow. The main reason it interested me was so that I would make something I might normally not have made as I tend to stick with what I am comfortable with.

This month was no exception. I had heard of a “three milk cake” a few times recently and it definitely intrigued me. When I saw that September’s challenge was for Pastel de Tres Leches, I had the reason I needed to finally make this cake, even if I didn’t get to eat it myself.
