Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Orange streusel cake

    • helskitchenvt on July 12, 2021

      Delicious and also easy to adjust to different tastes - I like it with a lemon instead of orange (because it gives you the liquid amount you're looking for, you can adjust). I also adjust streusel ingredients (date & pecan is good), and play with spices in the batter (ginger, cardamom, etc.). Or all (adding lemon instead of orange, a lot of cinnamon in the streusel, and a lemon drizzle, for example). Very malleable foundational coffeecake recipe.

  • Maple cream pie

      Made the filling. Delicious and smooth, though quite sweet. Make sure to use a VERY big pot to reduce the maple syrup, though, it bubbles up and makes a big mess. EDIT: second day this pie is far better than the first. Much more balanced and less sweet, very maple-y and delicious. A keeper.
