Zucchini Bread

August 20, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lemon Loaf

February 24, 2019 Baked Sunday Mornings

We had a big fundraising event at work last week, and the following day, an email went out about some leftover items for sale. I wasn’t really interested until I saw the last line: LEMONS AND LIMES FREE TO A GOOD HOME. I remembered this Lemon Lemon Loaf was on our agenda for today, and […]

Post Bake Babka

And now presenting my favourite baking project so far in 2018: Chocolate Babka! I know I’m not the only person who first learned about Babka from Seinfeld (“You can’t beat a babka!”), and was reintroduced to it when I started reading Smitten Kitchen ten years ago. It’s a yeasted bread with a rich chocolate filling that […]

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf

Welcome to a brand new round of Baked Sunday Mornings! Since the Baked boys don’t have a new cookbook out, we’re throwing it back to their very first book, Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. I learned about this book when I started reading Smitten Kitchen and bought it sometime in 2009 or 2010. I actually blogged about […]

Sprinkle Loaf

And it’s not even my birthday! I saw this sprinkle loaf on Jenn’s Instagram last month and have been thinking about it NON-STOP ever since. I felt like it was everything good about Christina Tosi’s birthday cake without all the steps, wrapped up into a convenient loaf formation. The recipe comes from Bake from Scratch Magazine, […]

Carrot Loaf

When Spring and Easter are on the horizon, there are three things I’m drawn to baking with that are all out of character for me: coconut, lemon and carrot. There is never any other time during the year when I’m interested in any of these ingredients in my desserts, but something about each of them […]

Espresso Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Deb on Smitten Kitchen has been talking a lot lately about making things just because you want to make them, “Find a recipe that sounds good to you and make it immediately. Don’t put it in the queue; don’t save it on that to-cook-one-day list, just dive in and dig in”. While I embrace that […]

Cranberry Orange Loaf with Crumble Topping {Gastropost Mission #34}

February 4, 2013 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing
Cranberry Orange Loaf

I think battle missions are my favourite Gastropost missions! Strawberry vs. Cherry, Basil vs. Mint, Coffee vs. Tea, and now an epic battle of winter fruit: Pomegranate vs. Cranberry. It’s a easy choice for me: Sorry pomegranate, but no matter how many Gastroposters tell me you’re easy to open - you’re still just so high […]

Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Loaf

September 5, 2011 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

Updated with a new picture September 8, 2018 At certain times during the month of August, I found myself daydreaming about cinnamon, apples and pumpkin. Then I got an email from Starbucks about the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Then I saw Halloween cards in Shoppers Drug Mart. I’m a HUGE fan of fall, […]
