Join me as I bake through the Great British Bake Off.
Paul Hollywood's molten puddings (a.k.a. molten lava cakes) harbor a secret surprise — a melty peanut butter center! These fun-size cakes are sure to impress, yet they're surprisingly easy — you can even make them a day or two in advance and heat them up right before serving.
This indulgent treat comprises three layers — buttery shortbread, chewy caramel and a thin topping of crisp chocolate. My version features a simple, two-step, pistachio-orange shortbread and an easy caramel method that doesn't require watching sugar melt, and possibly crystalizing. These decadent bars live up to their name — they taste like a million bucks!
These mini Swiss rolls are reminiscent of Hostess Ho Hos, Little Debbie Swiss Rolls or, in the UK, Cadbury's Mini Rolls — but with the added kick of peppermint! A thin, chocolatey, light sponge is spread with mint buttercream and rolled up like a tiny Swiss roll, then enrobed in melted chocolate.
Peach melba cake plays on the simple flavors of the classic dessert, with the enhancement of warm spices to add a taste of autumn. It has the consistency of a buttery pound cake studded with peaches and raspberries to give a burst of flavor in every bite.
