    Coconut Easter Bunny Cake

    Serve up the cutest coconut bunny cake for Easter! It’s a nostalgic favorite made from a single yellow 9-inch cake layer and decorated with flaked coconut. Growing up I remember my mom making a version of this coconut cake around Easter, and she’d use a pink jellybean for a rabbit nose. I thought the whole thing was so clever, and it was truly a special holiday with a bunny cake on our table.  I just had to make one this year. I’ve been missing my family and our big holiday meals, and the tradition of making this cake makes me feel closer to them. It’s fashioned from a single yellow cake layer, and with some easy carving it is transformed into a cute, furry-looking bunny.This cut-out cake design has been around for decades. I’ve seen so many home-baked versions over the years from friends and neighbors. I didn’t deviate much from the original design. I did opt for edible candy ears instead of the usual construction paper ears, but you should use whatever best suits your time constraints. The candy ears do take a little more effort. The cake layer is so delicious with a big dose of sour cream added to the batter. Slice it in half, frost with yummy coconut buttercream, and stick it together so that it looks like a big taco. Cut a notch out of the top of the cake and be sure to save the scraps. It looks fairly bunny body-shaped at this point. Stick a couple of scrap pieces on top of the head area with frosting and trim it to a roundish shape. The video at the end of this blog post will be helpful to follow for the carving technique – definitely check it out!Another smaller scrap piece will make the tail on the opposite end of the head. Cover the entire thing with frosting. You don’t have to be too precious with this step, just get it all covered. Shredded coconut will cover up most imperfections.As I mentioned earlier, mom always made the bunny ears using construction paper. It’s easiest, really. But I decided to make candy ears. I cut out two rabbit ear shapes out of heavy card stock and coated them with a thick layer of candy. While they’re still wet, lift one end using a toothpick and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. After a chill in the freezer peel the card stock from the backs of the candy. Again – the video will be helpful here. Melted pink candy and sanding sugar will give the bunny’s ears more detail. I also brushed the white areas with corn syrup and added coconut for a fuzzy appearance. A little buttercream dotted on the back of a real satin bow holds it in place and makes the cake look cuddly like a toy. (Aw!)Two black Sixlets eyes and a heart-shaped candy nose gives this bunny a cute face. If you don’t have those candies on hand then black and pink jellybeans will work.How could I NOT make some green coconut ‘grass’? It’s so classic with this cake. I layered it with grassy green sprinkles and a few gorgeous Sconza Jordan almonds. I could go on and on about how perfect this candy is. Each candy almond is so polished and unblemished. They look like little bird eggs! This is such a good recipe for a single cake layer. It’s tender and the sour cream helps it retain its softness. It is the perfect blank canvas for nearly any small baking project, but especially this one. Have a sweet Easter!

    Carrot Cake Cheese Ball

    This cheese ball is such a simple and delicious alternative to carrot cake. It has all of the classic flavors with a fraction of the work!I discovered a fondness for carrot cake flavors mixed with sweet, cheesy goodness when I made this Carrot Cake Swirl Cheesecake. (It’s sooo good!). This cheeseball recipe tastes a lot like carrot cake cheesecake, without having to bake anything. It makes a great starter if you’re entertaining, but it’s also sweet enough to serve as dessert.The first order of business is sautéing up some grated carrot in butter. You could skip this step and use fresh carrot, but sautéing makes the carrot tender and it incorporates easier in the cheese. A touch of honey and spices, along with raisins, pineapple and pecans… heaven! If you love carrot cake you’re going to love everything about this cheeseball.When everything is mixed and folded together, you’ll plop the cheese mixture in the center of a sheet of plastic wrap. Then, gather it up into a ball shape.  An overnight chill is best for this, and it can be made a couple of days in advance. The coating is all about texture! Toasted coconut, fresh grated carrot, and pecans are the crunchy wrapping for all the creamy goodness inside. We’ve almost completely polished this cheeseball off in just a few days! It’s so easy to sneak a few bites on from the fridge on a graham cracker. It’s also really good with buttery wafer cookies, as pictured. And you cannot go wrong serving this with pecan sandies. This is a great little recipe for Easter, and a good alternative to making an elaborate dessert for the holiday. It’s chock full of good things – and most are fairly wholesome ingredients! LEGGI TUTTO

    Pull Apart Praline Monkey Bread

    Monkey Bread is a sweet, pull-apart, pastry-style bread. Each piece is coated in melted butter and cinnamon sugar and baked to perfection in a bundt pan! I top mine with an out of control praline style-brown sugar icing that is to die for!
    If you love Monkey Bread, try my Cheese Stuffed Garlic Pull-Apart Bread for a savory option!

    My Monkey Bread Recipe Is A Family Favorite!
    I am SO excited to share this recipe with you! It’s a recipe that I shared in my book that is such a favorite I decided it needed a permanent place here on my site! It’s a Praline Pull Apart Monkey Bread that is ridiculously decadent and delicious.
    What makes this monkey bread so special is that it is 100% from scratch. The dough is a simple yeast dough that makes all the difference in the world. Of course there are so many monkey bread recipes out there that used canned biscuit dough, but the homemade dough is what sets this recipe apart.
    What Is Monkey Bread?
    Monkey Bread is a pastry that you pull apart and eat with your fingers (like a monkey I guess?). I didn’t create the name! What you generally have is cinnamon-coated dough pieces that are baked together in a larger pan, creating a cobbly-looking bread.
    I used to make Monkey Bread growing up with my grandma. We would bake it and take it over to her friend’s houses for their “coffee hour”. We always made the shortcut version with canned biscuits, but oh how I loved dipping each biscuit piece into melted butter first, and then that sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sometimes we would add nuts, other times we would leave them out, but the addition of chopped pecans adds a little extra texture and flavor that I love.
    When I decided to create a homemade version of my childhood favorite for my book I wanted to have all the elements of the nostalgia, but make it a little more indulgent! That’s where the chopped pecans and brown sugar, praline-style, icing comes in! You can absolutely skip this step, but it sure does make it extra delish!

    Ingredients:
    There are a few steps to this recipe, but don’t let that intimidate you! Everything is easy to do, and it’s also a great make ahead recipe!
    Dough:
    Dry active yeast. You can also use Instant or “Rapid Rise” yeast as well. If you do use Instant, the rise time will be about 45 minutes to 1 hour, as opposed to 2 hours.granulated sugarwarm watervegetable oilkosher saltall purpose flour
    Coating:
    light brown sugarmelted butterchopped pecans – you can omit the nuts if you have an allergy or just prefer no nuts!
    Icing:
    butterlight brown sugarheavy creampowdered sugar

    Tips On How To Make Monkey Bread:
    The full recipe is below in the printable recipe card, but I definitely want to share some of my favorite tips so your Monkey Bread turns out perfectly!
    Make sure to grease your bundt pan well. This is kind of a no-brainer, but there is always that moment when you invert the bundt pan and pray that nothing sticks! Luckily Monkey Bread is a pretty “rustic” looking bread, so imperfections will never be noticed! Plus you’re covering the top in icing!Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place. My oven has a “proof” setting which I use all the time and really love. But if you don’t have that on your oven, just try to place your bowl of dough in the warmest part of your kitchen. Another trick I have used in the past if you don’t have a proof setting on your oven is before you start making the dough, turn the oven on to the lowest temperature. Allow it to preheat, then turn the oven off. Start making your dough and by the time you’re ready to allow it to rise, the oven will have cooled down enough that it will be the perfect place to let your dough rise. Make sure the oven isn’t too warm. You just want it to be a little warmer than room temp!Leave out the nuts if you aren’t a fan…same with the frosting. You can easily make this “plain” and it’s still great!Serving this warm is a NEXT LEVEL experience. Highly recommend!

    Do You Have To Use A Bundt Pan?
    You don’t have to, but it sure is pretty! You can make this recipe in 2, 8×4 loaf pans if that’s what you have!
    Do You Have To Make the Icing?
    Nope! The bread on its own is sweet, but the addition of that brown sugar praline icing is really outstanding!!!

    Can You Make the Dough Ahead?
    Absolutely! I have included in the recipe that if you would prefer to make the dough ahead you can! Allow the dough to rise in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature. You can do this overnight or up to 3 days!
    Can You Use Canned Biscuits For This Monkey Bread Recipe?
    If you love the idea of this recipe but just don’t have the time to make your own dough, I totally get it. You can use 2 (16- ounce) cans of canned biscuits.(I recommend the Grands! Flaky Biscuits). Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces and dip each piece in your melted butter, then cinnamon sugar mixture!

    How To Store:
    Honestly, this bread is best is enjoyed the same day, but you can absolutely store it if you just can’t finish it! I don’t recommend more than 2 days though for freshness. Just store it airtight at room temperature!

    Pull Apart Praline Monkey Bread

    Description:
    This Monkey bread is out of control delicious! It’s the perfect breakfast or brunch recipe for special occasions.

    Ingredients:

    Dough:

    2 teaspoons dry active yeast
    1 teaspoon granulated sugar
    1 1/3 cups warm water
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons kosher salt
    3 1/2 – 4 cups all purpose flour

    Coating:

    1 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    3/4 cup chopped pecans

    Icing:

    4 tablespoons butter
    1 cup light brown sugar, packed
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1 cup powdered sugar

    Instructions

    Dough: Mix the yeast, sugar and water together in a bowl and allow the mixture to sit for 4 minutes until the yeast is dissolved. 
    In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment mix 3 ½ cups flour, salt and oil together on low speed. Stir the yeast mixture and then slowly add it to the bowl with the flour. Mix this on medium speed for 5- 6 minutes. If the dough is excessively sticky add the remaining flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it becomes it becomes smooth.
    Spray the inside of a large bowl with cooking spray and transfer the dough into the bowl, cover with a clean dish cloth, place in a warm place and allow it to raise for 2 hours or until it has doubled in size. Alternately you can place the dough into a sprayed gallon sized zip-top bag and allow it to rise in the refrigerator overnight (you get the same results and the dough is ready in the morning for breakfast).
    Coating and Assembly: Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C
    Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle half of the pecans into the bottom of the pan evenly and it set aside.
    Place the brown sugar and melted butter in a small bowl and stir to combine. 
    Punch the risen dough down and tear pieces of the dough off and roll into 1- inch balls. Dip each dough ball into the brown sugar/butter mixture and place in the prepared pan. Continue this with all the dough, placing it in the pan evenly. Drizzle any remaining brown sugar/butter mixture on top of the dough and finally sprinkle on the remaining pecans.
    Bake the bread for 30- 35 minutes until it’s risen and lightly golden.
    Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
    Icing: While the bread is cooling make your icing by combining the butter, brown sugar and heavy cream into a medium saucepan. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from the heat immediately and whisk in the powdered sugar.
    Invert the bundt pan onto a cake stand or serving platter. Drizzle the icing evenly on top of the bread.
    Serve warm.

    Notes:

    Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days

    Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins

    150 SharesThese Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins are the perfect treat for breakfast, snack time, dessert, or Easter brunch! The cream cheese filling bursts out of the top of the crunchy sugar coated muffin, making them just as pretty as they are tasty!
    Make sure to try my Carrot Cake Recipe too…it is the ABSOLUTE best!

    This recipe was originally posted back in 2014. The photos and recipe tips have been updated in 2021, but the recipe remains the same.
    Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins!
    Muffins are pretty under-rated in my house. The lack of frosting piled on top is a deal breaker…sometimes a streusel will solve this issue, sometimes a glaze…but generally no one ever requests muffins.
    But I think I have solved the issue with these Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins…because the frosting baked inside, which kinda makes them like cake you can eat for breakfast. And everyone seemed to like that idea.

    Cream Cheese Filled Carrot Cake Muffins Are An Easy Brunch Idea!
    These muffins are not only delicious, but they are so pretty! When they bake the cream cheese filling peeks through the tops, which creates a gorgeous, crackly finish that looks amazing on a brunch platter!
    My kids enjoy these for breakfast, or as a snack. Even though they claim “carrot cake isn’t their favorite”.

    Ingredients:
    Filling
    cream cheesepowdered sugarvanilla extract
    Muffins
    all purpose flourbaking powderkosher saltground cinnamonlight brown sugareggsvanilla extractwatervegetable oilgrated carrotscoarse sugar

    Tips:
    These carrot muffins are really very easy to make, but there are a few tips that I want to share to make sure you have perfect results.
    Don’t use pre-grated carrots! I know it’s nice to use shortcuts from time to time, but the pre-grated carrots that you can buy in the produce section of most grocery stores are just too coarse to work well in baked goods. Save those for your salads. Simply use a grater and grate up some whole carrots. The flavor is so much better, there is more moisture and they will be much thinner, giving your muffin a great texture!You CAN use low fat cream cheese! Look, you don’t have to, but you absolutely CAN use a lower fat cream cheese for the filling and they will turn out great!Don’t over-mix the batter. Keep these muffins tender and light by just folding the wet ingredients into the dry without over-mixing. That’s the beauty of these as well, no stand mixer necessary! You can use a hand mixer to make the filling creamy, but you also can skip that step and mix it up with a wooden spoon!Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature! It’s easy to want to skip this step, but the cream cheese filling will be much easier to mix when it’s room temperature, and won’t be lumpy!
    Add-In Ideas:
    You can get creative with these muffins if you would like! Here’s a few ideas:
    Raisins. A lot of folks like their carrot cake with raisins, so throw in 1/2 – 3/4 cup to the batter to add a little more sweetness!Walnuts. Chopped walnuts will add texture, so chop them up and add in 1/2 cup or so!Crumb topping! If you want to go the extra mile, add a little crumb topping on top! Ohhh yeah!

    But…Are These Carrot Muffins Healthy?
    Ummmm, do you want me to lie to you here? These aren’t exactly health food. There are carrots in there, so I’m going to say that’s something. BUT you absolutely could make these without the cream cheese filling inside.
    How To Store:
    Since these are filled with that cream cheese mixture you will need to refrigerate these if you want to enjoy them over the next few days.
    And yep, they freeze great! Just store them in an airtight container for up to 30 days, and allow them to thaw at room temperature.

    Chocolate Chunk Malted Milk Brownies

    Fudgy brownies are soft and chewy with loads of chocolate chunks inside. Crushed chocolate malted milk eggs make these perfect for an Easter treat!Spring is finally here, which feels like a huge sigh of relief! The camellia tree in my yard is filled with pink blooms. Things are generally 100% more colorful – not only the landscape but also the things I’m baking.Even a pan of brownies can look springy with the right touch! These malted brownies are super fudgy and I could not resist loading them up with crushed malted milk eggs. No Easter basket is complete without those speckled treats. They make a pretty, colorful topping and add some crunch. I used colorful Whoppers Robin Eggs, But there are a few different brands on the market, such as Brach’s. Grocery stores everywhere have them stocked right now for Easter basket fillers. Or you can order a couple of bags here.The brownie recipe is adapted from an excellent Epicurious recipe. It has a few steps but the end result is well worth it. Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a fudgier brownie in existence! After the brownies are baked and chilled, drizzle them with melted white chocolate and immediately pour on the chopped malted milk eggs. The chocolate holds all the candy pieces on when it sets.This recipe has just a little malted milk in the batter that rounds out the deep chocolate notes. Each bite has a little something different – chewy, chunky, and crunchy. I think these are so festive for Easter and there’s no tedious decorating. I used a little craft hammer to smash the malted milk eggs in a zip-top bag. Or you could use a rolling pin! So easy!  LEGGI TUTTO

    Episode 182 – Coole Swan Irish Cream Liqueur with Mary Sadlier

    This episode’s featured cocktail is the original Alexander. It first appeared in Hugo Enslin’s 1916 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks and is often overshadowed by the Brandy Alexander, which became popular after Prohibition. To make the Alexander cocktail, you’ll need:Combine these ingredients in a cocktail shaker with NO ICE. You heard me – no ice. Dry shake for about 15 seconds until  you hear and feel the texture of the contents begin to change, then add your ice, shake again, and strain into a stemmed cocktail glass.This is something like if a Ramos gin fizz and a classic egg white sour cocktail got married and made a baby, and that baby was named dessert. The egg white – in my view – is crucial because it’s going to yield that incredibly silky texture that feels like a delicious reward for having finished your supper.One last note. This recipe we just gave you is a little boozier than most Alexander recipes, which use only cream rather than a cream liqueur. But, you’re only using an ounce of that Coole Swan, which weighs in at a manageable 16% ABV. In other words, TREAT YO-SELF.Show Notes LEGGI TUTTO
