Family Friendly Fridays: Cherry Almond White Chocolate Scones

April 8, 2011 By Julie 21 Comments

Is it just me, or has Family Friendly Fridays turned into a weekly display of rich and decadent “gotta have it now” desserts? Just thinking back off hand, I can recall a caramel apple cake that threatened to not only put apples back on the map, but permanently launch them to the top of the charts.  And then there was the pretzel toffee crusted chocolate cake.  Mamma Mia, bring out the milk cuz a second slice of that beauty was inevitable.  And let’s not forget the chocolate churros.  And I know I wasn’t the only convert to those.  My friend Mari over at Mari’s cakes reported back to me that she made them a whopping six times!  Seriously sweet.

Not that I’m complaining.  I never meet a sweet I don’t like and am quite talented when it comes to engineering an excuse to bake up a meal-ending confection.   Especially if it’s a treat like this one.

Now I know that scones are typically a breakfast food, but honestly, who made that rule up anyway.  Certainly not me.  And with the creation of this recipe, you can bring on the dessert.  And hey, if you want to have it for breakfast.  I’m all for that too.

Family Friendly Fridays: Boston “Black Forest” Cream Pie

March 11, 2011 By Julie 25 Comments

Who wants some Boston Cream Pie?  How about some Black Forest Cake?  How about both?  Pie meet cake.  Cake meet pie.  Don’t they look happy together?  I like to think of their relationship as a little slice of heaven.

It’s been awhile since I cranked out a killer dessert so I figured it was high time.  That, and I really needed a serious hit of chocolate.  Who doesn’t every now and then?  Enter into the pie picture my friend black forest cake.  Super duper chocolaty goodness with a cherry or two thrown in for good measure.   Booyah.

Let’s review.  A Boston cream pie is typically a sponge cake with pastry cream in the middle and ganache poured over the top.  A black forest cake is a decadently chocolate cake with layers of whipped cream and cherries sandwiched between.  Cake.  Pie.  Cake. Pie.  Pake?  Cie?  Hey, call it whatever you want, I call it good and gone.  I’ve dressed this little lady up in a chocolate sponge, added cherries and cream to her middle and ganached her from head to toe.  If you thought plain ol’ Boston cream pie was good, prepare to be one up’ed.

Have I got you ready for your own little slice of pie heaven?
