Cakespy: Reverse Whoopie Pies

July 26, 2010 – 5:02 pm | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson ] What’s a Reverse Whoopie Pie? Basically, if you can imagine a Milano cookie going through a Hulk-like transformation into a supersized sweet treat , you’ve got the right idea. That’s right: these cakey whoopie pies pack all the flavor of the classic chocolate-filled buttery cookie sandwich, but without making any pretense of daintiness. This is treat of such proportion that it requires two hands to hold and all of your stomach to handle. Of course, if you want an even Hulkier variation, add peppermint extract instead of vanilla (and maybe a dash of green food coloring for good measure) for a chocolate-mint variation. Reverse Whoopie Pies – makes about 12 to 24 whoopie pies, depending on size – Adapted from King Arthur Flour Ingredients For the cookies 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 3 large eggs 4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 1 cup milk For the filling 4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips 2 tablespoons …

Cakespy: A Midsummer Night’s Creamsicles

June 21, 2010 – 4:54 pm | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Photographs and original illustrations: Cakespy ] This week marks Midsummer, that magical part of the year where the days are long and, according to Shakespeare, the nights are made of magic. And while Shakespeare is fine, creamsicles are divine—and so I present A Midsummer Night’s Creamsicles , a homemade version of the classic treat which truly taste best when enjoyed in the summer months. This adaptation of the creamsicle couldn’t be easier to make. While I can’t guarantee that they’ll inspire Shakespeare in the Park-style monologues, with their sweet vanilla ice cream center surrounded by a creamy-tart orange coating, I can say that they’re decidedly dreamy. Or as Shakespeare might say, “To sleep, perchance, to creamsicle.” A Midsummer Night’s Creamsicles – makes 4-6, depending on size – Note: This recipe can easily be adapted for any number—the basic idea is that you want one scoop of vanilla ice cream for the center of each pop, and one scoop of sorbet for the outer coating, with…

Cakespy: Behemoth Crumb Cake

May 4, 2010 – 12:18 am | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson ] When it comes to crumb, I have a theory: if some is good, more is better . This theory was proven when I discovered something called the Colossal Crumb Cake at New Jersey’s Ocean Grove Bake Shoppe . Their version had a ratio of roughly 9 parts crumb to 1 part cake, and it was just as amazing as it sounds (theirs is the one pictured above). Could it be possible to recreate this magic at home? Well, I certainly wanted to try. Starting with a recipe from Arthur Schwartz, a.k.a. The Food Maven , I tried to make it even better by halving the cake part and tripling the crumb part. The result? A hulking behemoth of crumb, anchored by a little sliver of cake. Turns out, halving the cake recipe wasn’t necessary—using the full recipe worked just fine, as the weight of the crumb crushed it into a sliver of buttery submission. While I can’t say that it’s quite the same as the

Cakespy: Chocolate-Filled Pretzel Nuggets

April 26, 2010 – 2:47 pm | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson ] Guess what? Today is National Pretzel Day. But how to celebrate? On the one hand the answer is painfully obvious—eat pretzels. But what kind of pretzels? After all, there are so many options: hard or soft, knotted or in stick form? Smothered in mustard or covered in chocolate? Well, here’s a suggestion for those who like plenty of sweet with their salty: chocolate-filled pretzel nuggets. These pillow-like nuggets are sort of like Combos meet chocolate-covered pretzel —that is to say, the pinnacle of sweet and salty pretzel perfection. Note: This recipe can easily be used to make full-sized soft chocolate pretzels as well. Simply cut the dough into longer pieces, line the chocolate filling inside, and roll as you would a normal pretzel. Here’s a picture to suggest scale: Chocolate-Filled Pretzel Nuggets – makes about 40 nuggets, or 10 large pretzels – Adapted from Garrett’s Table Ingredients For the pretzel dough: 1 3/4 cups warm water 1 package active dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon…

Cakespy: Cadbury Creme Eggs Benedict

March 1, 2010 – 7:15 pm | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson ] Eggs Benedict is like pleasure overload: savory little stacks of delicious excess, topped with a crowning glory of Hollandaise sauce. But could this brunch classic be recreated in a totally sweet form? You bet your bottom silver dollar pancake. It’s time to say hello to a new classic: Cadbury Creme Eggs Benedict . It combines all of the excess of the savory dish, but in completely sweet form, comprised of stacks made of doughnut, brownie, melty Creme Eggs (complete with oozing yolk!), and a topping of rich frosting, all accompanied by a mound of fried pound cake to give the effect of side potatoes. It’s a sweet egg-stravaganza. Cadbury Creme Eggs Benedict – makes one sugar bomb of a plate – Ingredients 2 Cadbury creme eggs 1 plain cake doughnut 1 brownie, the fudgier the better 2 to 4 tablespoons’ worth of buttercream frosting, to taste 1 large slice pound cake, cut into small cubes 1 tablespoons butter Red sugar sprinkles, to garnish Procedure 1.
