Chocolate Guinness Cake with Malted Frosting πŸ€


​

Hi Reader!

A cake I created specifically for St. Patrick's Day, but find myself making year round because it's so dang delicious!

It's a single layer chocolate cake that comes together in a pinch. If you don't want to use beer, you could replace the liquid 1:1 with strong coffee, water or milk, your call!

While the cake cools, whip up this easy but oh-so-delish chocolate malt buttercream. This recipe is a favorite. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Good afternoon Reader! I am a muffin baker through and through. I feel about muffins the same way I do about scones...and cookies...and so many other delicious things we bake. When done right they're an effortless way to elevate your mornings whilst hopefully padding around the kitchen still in your pjs and fluffy socks. Last spring Stella took me to Cafe Solstice in Seattle and we ate the yummiest Blackberry Streusel Muffins. I'm talking A++. I promptly flew home and made these Raspberry...

Hi Reader! I am extremely fussy when it comes to scones. They have to be moist, flavorful and taste just as great the next day. I've been on a bit of a bakery bender this year, visiting them wherever I go. If you live on the central coast of California, I cannot recommend the croissants at Bread Bike in San Luis Obispo enough. Truly transcendent. Perfection. The individual Chicken Pot Pies from Macrina Bakery in Seattle? I crave them (and made my own version if we're interested πŸ‘€). The...
