made a sort of shitty peanut bark with too many peanuts and not enough chocolate (the chocolate was a 100% cocoa baking bar melted with honey) so instead of eating it i broke it up and mixed it into chocolate chip cookie dough with some more of those toffee bits i made before and it's kind of amazing actually... i love when the toffee melts out onto the pan and gets all crispy again oughhhh pic for proof also btw

Leave a comment, rate it, and don’t forget to tag @minimalistbaker on Instagram. Cheers, friends! Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes minutes Total Time: 45 minutes minutes Servings: 16 (Brownies) Course Dessert Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan Freezer-friendly for 1 month Does it keep? 2-3 Days Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark 1 ⅔ cup coconut sugar (we like Supernatural or Whole Foods 365 Brand) 1 cup MB 1:1 GF Blend (oat flour also works, but the brownies will be less shiny and chewy and will fall apart a little; see notes if not gluten-free) 3/4 cup almond flour* (we like Wellbee’s) 1/2 cup cocoa powder 3 Tbsp. flaxseed meal 1/2 tsp. sea salt 3/4 cup chocolate chips* (we used semi-sweet; ensure dairy-free/vegan as needed) 2/3 cup boiling water 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted (we like Miyoko’s; dairy butter would also work) 1 tsp. vanilla extract Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar, gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, cocoa powder, flaxseed meal, and sea salt. Whisk to combine until almost all of the flour and cocoa powder are incorporated. Next, stir in the chocolate chips. To the dry ingredients, add the boiling water, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to fully combine, stirring for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The chocolate chips will mostly melt at this point, so if you would like extra whole ones for pops of chocolate, fold them in after the mixture cools a bit. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35–40 minutes—until the edges look set and the center looks barely shiny. Let the brownies cool in their pan for AT LEAST 30 minutes before slicing and digging in. The brownies will be super gooey before cooling and will be very hard to cut. If you would like your brownies to have perfectly crisp edges, refrigerate them for 2 hours before cutting. Store the brownies lightly covered at room temperature for up to 2–3 days or up to 1 month in the freezer. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CXgBwGrpH4[/embed] *These are intended to

The best cookies ever!
Tumblr media
I’ve been working on perfecting Smitten Kitchen’s chocolate chip cookie recipe for a couple of years now, and I think I finally got to a happy place with it. Special shout out to @tikkunolamorgtfo​ who had the genius idea of putting browned butter in cookies! I made these in an earlier stage, adding all the different kinds of chocolate chips etc., for our friends for our wedding afterparty (which we all skipped because it was a Sunday and we’re in our 30s and it was already late, and we’re lame) and called them Mega Cookies.
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (120 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) (115 grams) unsalted browned butter*, cold, cut into 1/2-inch (1cm) pieces
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla paste** (or 3, you literally can’t overdo vanilla)
1 teaspoon rum extract (don’t overdo this, though, it’ll make the cookies bitter)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
235 grams all-purpose flour (less flour will make this recipe’s cookies flatter, and if that’s your thing you can go down to a 1 1/2 generous cups of flour, but less than that and you have a mess)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chocolate chunks
1/2-1 cup m&m’s
1/4-1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups (cut in half)
1. Adjust both oven racks to the middle of the oven and preheat to 300F (150C), or 265 (130C) if using a fan oven. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper/reusable silicon baking sheet, depending on how many you have. Chop up the mini peanut butter cups, if using them.
2. Beat the sugars and butters together until smooth.
3. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and rum extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, then add the baking soda and salt and mix them together.
5. Add the flour mixture into the batter while incorporating it.
6. (If using a stand mixer, do this part manually with a spatula.) Mix in the chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, m&m’s, and peanut butter cups.
7. Put the dough in the fridge for 2+ hours, or the freezer for 20 minutes (don’t leave it in the freezer longer).
8. Scoop the cookie dough into 1/2-tablespoon balls and place them evenly spaced with room to spread on the baking trays. Any trays that don’t fit in the oven, plus any remaining dough that will be put on other trays after these are baked, should be put in the fridge for the time being.
9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
10. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
*Browned butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Keep cooking it after it has melted, stirring frequently, until it begins to smell nutty and pale brown flecks appear at the edge of the pan, which takes a few minutes. Once these reach a dark beige/medium brown color (you’ll want to watch this like a hawk, this happens quickly once it begins to toast) remove from heat. (This recipe is also from Smitten Kitchen, from the only haman taschen recipe I not only tolerate, but love, because haman taschen along with all linzer cookies are a scourge on the face of all that edible.)
**Vanilla paste is almost always better than extract. It’s thicker so you’re introducing less liquid into your doughs and batters, and it’s chock full of vanilla seeds so the flavor is much more intense. Sidebar: never use vanilla flavoring, only extract or paste. Flavorings taste artificial and slightly bitter.
I like cookies that are soft and don’t flatten out, so these should give you something to bite into. Obviously the chocolate chips etc. are up to you, the mixture can take an average of 1 1/2 cups of whatever kind of chips but you can push that a bit if you like a lot of them. My personal rec is Trader Joe’s semi-sweet chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, and mini peanut butter cups. If you can’t get those/aren’t in the U.S., it’s better to chop a bar of good chocolate into chunks than to get crappy chocolate chips. An important part of these cookies is being able to taste the chocolate chips/etc.!
If you can’t find any rum extract, don’t just throw in a teaspoon of rum! You can look up homemade rum extract recipes, though I have none to recommend right now, sorry. But a teaspoon of regular rum won’t give you any flavor, and any more than that will ruin your dough.
Enjoy!

Valentine’s Month Best Love Culinary Recipes
Valentine’s Day is a ton further pleasant with a romantic cozy dinner at home. Although February 14th undoubtedly brings us all of the daintiest snacks of the year, there is indeed a day just full of brilliant food you could have. Around heart-shaped breakfast meals to date night cuisine suggestions for two, this is a perfect chance to spice the infamous V-day into not only a celebration for couples but also amazing food enthusiasts. Fear not, we’ve pulled together a few meal ideas (entrees, main dishes, pies, and little stock goodies) for all of you to select from – so what about some fancy oysters, steak, shrimp cocktails, and yummy truffles?
Coconut Curry Chicken
Tumblr media
Warm-up with your beloved with a dish of soft, delicious curry.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
1 head of garlic, chopped (10–12 cloves)
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1 tablespoon each: ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne powder, optional
3 chicken breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 can of crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons sea salt
Can of coconut milk
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and simmer until it softens for almost 5 minutes. Apply the ginger and garlic to heat and stir for about two minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and, if used, cayenne and simmer for 1 minute.
Add the chicken breasts, smashed tomatoes, and seasoning to the pot and mix well. Stir occasionally, cap, and turn down the heat to medium-low. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes, gently remove the lid (the curry will splash!), and stir a few more.
When the chicken parts are ready, add in the coconut milk, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Season with salt to taste, if desired. Pair with steamed cauliflower or basmati rice. And Bon Appetite!
Instant Pot Risotto with Parmesan
Tumblr media
Ingredients
•          2 cups dry Arborio rice, rinsed and drained well
•          2 TB salted butter
•          1/4 cup chopped onion
•          1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
•          1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
•          3 3/4 cups regular-strength chicken or vegetable broth
•          2 TB freshly squeezed lemon juice
•          1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
•          Garnishes: freshly chopped chives and grated lemon zest
Instructions
Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the butter till it is melted. Add the onions and swirl till it softens, around 1-2 minutes. Add the dry rice to the melting butter and stir for 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, broth, and lemon juice; mix well.
Secure lid and set to pressure cook for 8 minutes. Allow Instant Pot to do its natural release. Once a natural release is completed, carefully remove the lid and stir in parmesan while “fluffing” the rice. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve immediately, with chives or lemon zest for garnish, if desired.
Red Velvet Cookies
Tumblr media
A twist on the delicious chocolate chip cookie batch, these red velvet cookies are stuffed with dense chocolate chips in a bright red shade. This recipe, inspired by a red velvet cake, takes a couple of minutes to make and bake, with enough cookies for the entire family!
Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups + 1 Tablespoon flour
1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon gel red food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a big cup. Set it back.
Using only a portable or food processor with a whisk attachment, beat the butter at great speed till it becomes smooth, around 1 minute. Scrap the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Place in brown sugar and granulated sugar again till blended and smooth, around 1 minute.
Insert the food dye and beat when added. Switch the mixer off and add the remaining dry ingredients to the most components. Turn the mixer down and beat steadily until a very fluffy pastry is made. Beat in more food coloring if you like the dough to be a lighter color. Add in the chocolate chips at low speed. The dough is going to be messy.
Cover and cool the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours. If you’re resting for more than a few hours, allow the dough to stay at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before rolling and baking, because the dough is going to be very stiff.
Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F). Cover two large baking sheets with parchment or synthetic baking mats. Set it back.
Scoop one and a half teaspoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place 9 balls on each baking sheet. Bake for 13 minutes for each batch. Cookies may have spread just marginally. Simply force the warm cookies to flatten them slightly, which helps to make crinkles. If required, place a few chocolate chips on the tops of the hot cookies.
Cool cookies on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool fully.
And Enjoy the best romantic dinner in the cozy atmosphere of your home!

Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies
Home › Recipes › Dessert › Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.
These delicious, chunky, Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal cookies are the perfect healthy-ish treat! They are made with old fashioned oats and packed full of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate!
We all know that technically cookies aren’t healthy. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t ever have a cookie! As most of you know – my philosophy is: everything in moderation. Which means that one, amazing, freshly baked cookie once in a while is totally warranted! Life isn’t about deprivation – it’s about enjoying real, whole foods and delicious treats on occasion 🙂
If you’re going to indulge in a sweet treat, pick something that’s made withreal butter, real sugar, and doesn’t have any weird ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Not only do real ingredients taste better, they’re much better for you than processed alternatives. Which is why these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are some of my favorite homemade desserts! 
To make this recipe more guilt-free, see my healthy substitutions list below to help lighten up these cookies!
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES – STEP BY STEP
Position racks in center and top third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, add sugar, butter, and brown sugar.
Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar until well blended.
Mix in egg and both extracts.
Beat in flour mixture.
Mix in oats.
Then mix in chocolate chips, cherries and almonds.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies 12 minutes. Switch and rotate baking sheets.
Bake cookies until golden, about 6 minutes longer. Cool cookies on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool).
ARE CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES HEALTHY?
Let’s be honest, cookies are never going to be healthy and they should always be a treat rather than an everyday snack. But, by adding old fashioned oats into the cookie dough, you are adding fiber and some important vitamins and minerals. You can also make this recipe much healthier by using a few substitutions listed below!
CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF OLD FASHIONED OATS?
You can substitute the old fashioned oats for quick oats if that’s all you have, but there will be a difference in texture. Old fashioned oats give these cherry, almond and chocolate chip cookies a soft and chewy texture, quick oats can result in a mushier cookie. 
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE CHIP AND OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE HEALTHIER
Try oat flour, or whole wheat pastry flour, instead of all purpose flour (or use 1/2 all purpose and 1/2 oat flour)
Use less dried cherries (I used 1/2 cup instead of the 1 cup the recipe called for. Even 1/4 cup will give you the essence of cherry in these cookies!)
Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg to make these eggless cookies.
You can substitute Greek Yogurt for half of, or all of the butter! I recommend whole milk greek yogurt because you’ll get that same mouthfeel and a healthy dose of protein too. To substitute: For every 8 ounces (1 cup) of butter, replace with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt.
Try coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar. Still nice and sweet but slightly lower glycemic. You can also decrease the amount of sugar you use.
Use 80% dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for more of an antioxidant punch!
Make smaller cookies! Right now this recipe makes 12 giant cookies – you could use half the amount of batter per cookie and end up with 24 smaller cookies for half the calories and fat. 
I love how the cookies are so chunky and delicious – every bite has a surprise in it!

FEBRUARY 15TH DOUGHNUTS: DARK CHOCOLATE + SOUR MILK
Doughnuts with coffee make a lovely pair, so to celebrate a fun night with your better half, why not make them the perfect “morning on the couch” breakfast? Sour milk donuts are a vintage take on classic buttermilk doughnuts, where a touch of vinegar curdles the milk, making it slightly tart and adding a rich flavor to the dense cake.  The dark chocolate donuts are as decadent as they come, but if you’re going to go a little choco-holicy, isn’t the day after Valentine’s the perfect time to do it? For those of you who don’t want to fry the doughnuts (I totally get it, frying can be a pain), I also included a baked version of the recipe as well. So cuddle up with a cup of coffee and enjoy!
INGREDIENTS (SOUR MILK DOUGHNUTS)
For 1 dozen
1 quart peanut oil (or canola or vegetable)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
powdered sugar, to garnish
DIRECTIONS
Pour the oil into a deep saucepan over medium heat. Heat up to 375 F.
In a medium bowl, sift the the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices together.  In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and sugar.  Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl, the milk will curdle slightly.  Melt the butter in a small saucepan until the milk solids caramelize and the butter smells nutty.  Immediately add to the milk mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Add the browned butter and milk alternately to the eggs and sugar with the dry.  A dough will form. Lightly flour a work area and roll out the dough to a 1/4 inch thick.  Cut and with a donut cutter.  To test the oil, add a doughnut hole to the oil and see how it fries.  It should float up to the top and have large bubbles surrounding it.  Add the doughnuts, careful not to overcrowd the pot, and fry for about 3 minutes a side, or until golden brown.  They should be crisp on the outside and cooked through and fluffy on the inside.  Drain the doughnuts on a plate covered with a paper towel, cool for at least 5 minutes, then coat in powdered sugar. Serve that day.

Oreo Cookies: Choose your Oreo cookie flavoring, I like the classic white icing! 
How to Bake Brownies:
Cake-like brownies are delicious and full of flavor. These brownies are simple to make and layer easily. Once layered stick in the oven immediately and watch the brownies bake up into a gooey Oreo dessert.
Prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Make the batter: In a medium sized bowl combine melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla and combine.
Layer the brownies: Stir in the flour and fold in the chocolate chunks. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Place 12 Oreos in a single layer.  Spread remaining batter on top of brownies.  Use the rest of the Oreos to crush and sprinkle on top.

Storing Brownies: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days long at room temperature. You can even place them in the refrigerator for a longer life.
Cutting Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled completely, use a sharp knife and cut them into pieces that you prefer. After each cut these brownies will be gooey, clean the knife blade with a paper towel or napkin for a clean cut every time.
Brownie Variations:
A classic Oreo brownie can be made simply or add in the fun stuff and create more flavors and even textures with this devious brownie base.
Chocolate: Add in your a variety of chocolate chips or chunks. Substitute the chocolate chunks for white chocolate, milk chocolate, semi sweet, dark chocolate, mini chocolate chips,  mint chips, butterscotch or even peanut butter flavoring chocolate chips.
Oreo Flavors: Oreos have expanded and have several different flavors now and it even rotates during each holiday. I prefer the classic white icing Oreo and even double stuff but there are mint, chocolate, peanut butter and white. Mix up the Oreo flavors depending on the time of year or holiday!
Candy: For a rich and sugary taste switch the chocolate chunks for chopped peanut butter cups, Reese’s, mini M and M’s or toffee bits.

Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies
Home › Recipes › Dessert › Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.
These delicious, chunky, Cherry, Almond, Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal cookies are the perfect healthy-ish treat! They are made with old fashioned oats and packed full of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate!
We all know that technically cookies aren’t healthy. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t ever have a cookie! As most of you know – my philosophy is: everything in moderation. Which means that one, amazing, freshly baked cookie once in a while is totally warranted! Life isn’t about deprivation – it’s about enjoying real, whole foods and delicious treats on occasion 🙂
If you’re going to indulge in a sweet treat, pick something that’s made withreal butter, real sugar, and doesn’t have any weird ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Not only do real ingredients taste better, they’re much better for you than processed alternatives. Which is why these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are some of my favorite homemade desserts! 
To make this recipe more guilt-free, see my healthy substitutions list below to help lighten up these cookies!
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES – STEP BY STEP
Position racks in center and top third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, add sugar, butter, and brown sugar.
Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar until well blended.
Mix in egg and both extracts.
Beat in flour mixture.
Mix in oats.
Then mix in chocolate chips, cherries and almonds.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies 12 minutes. Switch and rotate baking sheets.
Bake cookies until golden, about 6 minutes longer. Cool cookies on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool).
ARE CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES HEALTHY?
Let’s be honest, cookies are never going to be healthy and they should always be a treat rather than an everyday snack. But, by adding old fashioned oats into the cookie dough, you are adding fiber and some important vitamins and minerals. You can also make this recipe much healthier by using a few substitutions listed below!
CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF OLD FASHIONED OATS?
You can substitute the old fashioned oats for quick oats if that’s all you have, but there will be a difference in texture. Old fashioned oats give these cherry, almond and chocolate chip cookies a soft and chewy texture, quick oats can result in a mushier cookie. 
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE CHIP AND OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE HEALTHIER
Try oat flour, or whole wheat pastry flour, instead of all purpose flour (or use 1/2 all purpose and 1/2 oat flour)
Use less dried cherries (I used 1/2 cup instead of the 1 cup the recipe called for. Even 1/4 cup will give you the essence of cherry in these cookies!)
Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg to make these eggless cookies.
You can substitute Greek Yogurt for half of, or all of the butter! I recommend whole milk greek yogurt because you’ll get that same mouthfeel and a healthy dose of protein too. To substitute: For every 8 ounces (1 cup) of butter, replace with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt.
Try coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar. Still nice and sweet but slightly lower glycemic. You can also decrease the amount of sugar you use.
Use 80% dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for more of an antioxidant punch!
Make smaller cookies! Right now this recipe makes 12 giant cookies – you could use half the amount of batter per cookie and end up with 24 smaller cookies for half the calories and fat. 
I love how the cookies are so chunky and delicious – every bite has a surprise in it!
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING CHERRY, ALMOND, CHOCOLATE CHIP AND OATMEAL COOKIES
When placing the cookie dough on the baking sheet, be sure to leave enough room for the cookies to spread.
Remember to pre-heat your oven.
Don’t over mix the batter.
Measure the ingredients as precisely as you can.
This recipe will make 12 large cookies, but you can make mini cookies by 
These cookies will last for 1 week: Store airtight at room temperature.

Chocolate Babka Coffee Cake
I unlocked the wonderful mysteries of Babka for myself last year with these Babka Pull Apart Muffins which now makes every December around these parts BABKA SEASON. 
I love a new tradition, especially one that involves chocolate and encourages coffee so in celebration of another December together, I’m back atcha with a MOUNTAIN of a Chocolate Babka Cake.  
We’ll start with dreams of coffee cake.  Amplify those dreams by make a coffee cake that’s more closely related to a pound cake than anything.  Great!  Next, subtract the streusel filling and add in a chocolate-y rich spreadable chocolate filling that’s dark as midnight.  Factor in an hour of cozy oven time.  Consider a shower of powdered sugar while you brew up a cup of hot coffee and just like that you’re in my kitchen with me – and there’s cake thank goodness!  
This recipe is brought to us in partnership with AeroPress because every good coffee cake obviously needs a perfect cup of coffee.  
Here’s what’s so cool about an AeroPress – it brews a simple single cup of coffee with low acidity and really no bitterness at all.  It’s like brewing up a french press of coffee except you press the coffee through a filter at the bottom, leaving behind any coffee sludge and any over-brewed bitter flavor.  
It’s really so simple!  
The AeroPress (and honestly, a Chocolate Babka Cake) would make such a lovely holiday gift for our coffee loving friends.  It’s on my list of gifts to give! (Find it at all sorts of retailers like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate & Barrel, Sur La Table, and Cost Plus World Market!  
Let’s start with this cake! 
Here’s what you’ll need for this mountain of a cake: 
•  butter, a few ways – softened to incorporate into the cake batter as well as melted to bring the chocolate cookie filling together.
•  speaking of chocolate!  We’ll need chocolate a few ways, too!  Semi-sweet chocolate chips for the filling as well as chocolate wafer cookies (Oreos without the cream). 
•  eggs, at room temperature – for real. 
•  flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt – all the things you’d expect to put into a successful cake.
•  sugar, for sure.
•  sour cream to moisten and bind the batter,
•  flavorings like cinnamon and honey for the filling, and vanilla for the cake batter. 
Start by tossing together the dry ingredients.  We’re talking: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Use either a whisk, fork, spatula, spoon – any utensil that will lightly aerate the mixture while dispersing the ingredients. 
Next we’ll deal in butter.  
I add two softened cubes to the bowl of a stand mixer.  
The softened part in important.  We want our fats to incorporate fluff easily with the sugar – ‘fluff’ being a technical term for aerate.   
Once the butter has swirled around the mixer for a few moments, stream in the sugar.  
Beat on medium speed until the mixture feels more smooth than griany, has lightened in color just slightly and has a fluffy quality.  
After the sugar is fully incorporated we’ll add eggs.  Room temperature. One at a time. Allowing the mixture to beat for 1 minute between each egg edition.  
Now this might just sound like words you read in a recipe but here’s the thing:  eggs add volume to the cake.  It’s easier for eggs to do their volume work when they’re at room temperature. Adding the eggs slowly, allowing them to beat, gives each egg the chance to do it’s good work.  
Once the eggs have smoothed out the batter, it’s time to add the dry ingredients along with the sour cream. Alternating.  Cakes are always a dance. 
Just as the dry ingredients starts to incorporate, spoon in half of the sour cream.  
Repeat the process with both the dry ingredients and sour cream. 
Because this batter has a whole lotta body, I like to incorporate it off the stand mixer using a spatula and a little elbow grease (that’s what my mom would call it).  Fold the mixture over itself several times to ensure that there are not hidden patches of sour cream or flour hanging out on the bottom of the bowl.  
To make the filling, heat chocolate and butter in a double boiler until it’s melted and glossy.  We’ll pour the cooled and glossy chocolate mixture over chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo cookies I totally scraped the filling from and pulverized in the food processor).  The cookie crumbs will soften as they absorb the melted chocolate mixture! 
Add honey and cinnamon and stir to combine. 
Let the mixture settle to room temperature before incorporating layering into the cake pan.  It will thicken even more as it cools which is just right!
I used a fat-bottom tube pan for this recipe. We need a lot of real-estate for the batter. 
I also found that a large ice cream scoop was the perfect way to deposit batter into the pan.  We’ll do this in several layers .
Spoon about 1 1/2  cups of batter into the bottom of a well greased and floured pan and spread into an even layer.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of chocolate filling on top of the first layer of cake batter and use an butterknife or offset spatula to spread the chocolate mixture as evenly as possible across the batter.
Repeat the layering process until both the cake batter and the filling have all made their way into the pan.  Finishing with a layer of cake batter to seal everything inside.  
Use a butterknife to gently swirl the layers together.  Don’t go crazy, we don’t want to over-mix the layers and lose all of our hard work.  About 8 swirls will do! 
Now it’s time to bake this baby! This cake requires some real quality time in the oven.  Place it in the middle rack, rotating the cake pan a few times during baking, after it’s been in the oven about 30 minutes.  
Allow the cake to cool for about 30 minutes before running a knife around the edge and flipping the cake onto a wire rack to cool further.  
And the best part of coffee cake – THE COFFEE! 
I used my AeroPress to make a super special, smooth cup of coffee. 
Add a spoonful of ground coffee, a cupful of water, stir and allow the coffee to steep.  
Then press it right on through and into the cup!  
The perfect compliment to this decadent Chocolate Babka Cake! This cake is as gorgeous as it is delicious!  Enjoy it warm – and don’t be afraid of a big happy slice! 
Chocolate Babka Coffee Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
First make the chocolate filling, in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler, melt together the two chocolates and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt, cinnamon and honey.
Let the chocolate cool to room temperature. This step is important. We'll need the chocolate at room temperature before we add the cookie crumbs so the mixture finished is thick and spreadable. Give the chocolate about 20 minutes to come to cool to room temperature.
Stir in the chocolate cookies which should make the chocolate mixture thick but still spreadable.
To make the cake, first place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350° F. Butter and flour a Bundt pan or tube pan, tapping out excess flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
In the bow of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment lightly beat the softened butter.
Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute between each addition, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition.
Beat in the vanilla extract.
Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients in 2 additions, alternating with sour cream.
Scoop about 1 1/2 cups of batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Spoon in about 1/3 cup of the chocolate filling and spread as best you can to smooth the surface. Repeat the layers until all of the batter and filling are gone but be sure to end with a layer of cake batter at the top of the pan.
Smooth the surface and use a butterknife to gently swirl the layers together - about 8 swirls will do.
Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 70–80 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan 30 minutes before inverting onto wire rack. Let cool completely.
Slice generously and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Cake will keep well wrapped at room temperature for up to 5 days.

FEBRUARY 15TH DOUGHNUTS: DARK CHOCOLATE + SOUR MILK
Doughnuts with coffee make a lovely pair, so to celebrate a fun night with your better half, why not make them the perfect “morning on the couch” breakfast? Sour milk donuts are a vintage take on classic buttermilk doughnuts, where a touch of vinegar curdles the milk, making it slightly tart and adding a rich flavor to the dense cake.  The dark chocolate donuts are as decadent as they come, but if you’re going to go a little choco-holicy, isn’t the day after Valentine’s the perfect time to do it? For those of you who don’t want to fry the doughnuts (I totally get it, frying can be a pain), I also included a baked version of the recipe as well. So cuddle up with a cup of coffee and enjoy!
INGREDIENTS (SOUR MILK DOUGHNUTS)
For 1 dozen
1 quart peanut oil (or canola or vegetable)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
powdered sugar, to garnish
DIRECTIONS
Pour the oil into a deep saucepan over medium heat. Heat up to 375 F.
In a medium bowl, sift the the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices together.  In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and sugar.  Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl, the milk will curdle slightly.  Melt the butter in a small saucepan until the milk solids caramelize and the butter smells nutty.  Immediately add to the milk mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Add the browned butter and milk alternately to the eggs and sugar with the dry.  A dough will form. Lightly flour a work area and roll out the dough to a 1/4 inch thick.  Cut and with a donut cutter.  To test the oil, add a doughnut hole to the oil and see how it fries.  It should float up to the top and have large bubbles surrounding it.  Add the doughnuts, careful not to overcrowd the pot, and fry for about 3 minutes a side, or until golden brown.  They should be crisp on the outside and cooked through and fluffy on the inside.  Drain the doughnuts on a plate covered with a paper towel, cool for at least 5 minutes, then coat in powdered sugar. Serve that day.
