      Zucchini Bread

      Ingredients
      • 375g AP flour (3 cups)
      • 300–350g grated zucchini (2½–3 cups, moisture gently squeezed out)
      • 200g packed brown sugar (1 cup)
      • 3 large eggs
      • 120g vegetable oil (½ cup)
      • 125g unsweetened applesauce (½ cup)
      • 5g vanilla extract (1 tsp)
      • 8g ground cinnamon (3 tsp)
      • 5g baking soda (1 tsp)
      • 4g baking powder (1 tsp)
      • 6g Kosher salt (1 tsp)
      • Optional Add-ins
        • 60g chopped walnuts or pecans (½ cup)
        • 40–60g raisins (¼–½ cup)
        • 0.5g ground cardamom (¼ tsp)
        • 6g citrus zest (1 Tbsp, zest of 1 large orange or 2 lemons)
      Directions
      1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
      2. Grease and flour one large loaf pan or two smaller ones.
      3. Prep the zucchini: Wash zucchini  then grate until small but not mushy. Gently squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel or paper towels.
      4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
      5. In another bowl, beat together eggs, brown sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
      6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
      7. Fold in zucchini, and if using, add the nuts and/or raisins.
      8. Pour the batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth the top.
      9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
      10. Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      Notes
      • Divide the batter into muffin tins or mini loaf pans—just adjust bake time accordingly (20–30 min).
      • For extra flair: sprinkle turbinado sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
      • Swap vegetable oil for browned butter (same amount: ½ cup).
        • Brown butter adds a nutty, rich depth that transforms the flavor from good to unforgettable.
        • Let it cool slightly before mixing with eggs.
      • Blue Ribbon Zucchini Bread with Citrus Zest & Cardamom
        • Citrus Zing (Highly Recommended!)
          • Add 1 Tbsp fresh orange or lemon zest to the wet mix.
          • The citrus brightens the whole loaf and adds a fresh, unexpected dimension.
        • Secret Spice Boost
          • Add a pinch of ground cardamom (⅛–¼ tsp) to the dry mix. It’s subtle but exotic—makes people wonder what your secret is.

      Birthday Cake

      Ingredients

      For the Vanilla Cake

      • Nonstick spray
      • 4 cups all-purpose or cake flour
      • 2 tsp. baking powder
      • 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
      • 1 tsp. baking soda
      • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
      • ½ cup vegetable oil
      • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
      • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
      • 2 cups sugar
      • ½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
      • 4 large eggs
      • 4 large egg yolks

      For the Chocolate Frosting

      • 12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
      • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature 
      • 2 cups powdered sugar
      • Pinch of kosher salt
      • 12 oz. bittersweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled

      Directions
      For the cake

      1. Preheat oven to 350° and position one rack in the top of the oven and one rack in the middle of the oven. Spray three 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray.
      2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together; set aside. In a medium bowl (or a measuring cup), combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract; set aside.
      3. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and light brown sugar. Using an electric mixer on high, beat everything together until it’s super light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
      4. Add in the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating in between additions.
      5. Beat the batter until it’s almost doubled in volume and very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (Don’t forget to periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl.)
      6. With the mixer on low, gently beat in one-third of the flour mixture. Before it’s fully combined, add in one-half of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk until everything is well blended and no lumps remain.
      7. Divide the cake batter among the three cake pans and place two pans on the top rack and one pan on the middle rack. Bake 35-40 minutes, rotating the pan on the middle rack up to the top rack halfway through baking, so they all get even oven love.
      8. Remove the cakes from the oven and invert them onto a wire baking rack to cool completely. 

      For the frosting

      1. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and salt. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until everything is fluffy and almost pure white, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the melted chocolate and blend. Increase the speed to high and beat until everything is combined and the frosting looks super fluffy and delicious like it came from a can (but it didn’t), about 2 minutes.
      2. Once cakes are cooled, use an offset or regular spatula to spread frosting onto the first layer of cake, bottom-side up. (Layering the cake with the flat bottoms on top makes a cake with a neater shape; you can layer and frost the cakes on the wire rack or on a plate.) Repeat with remaining layers. Apply a thin layer of frosting all over the cake, making sure to cover the whole cake. This is called “the crumb coat,” and it’s just the base layer, so don’t worry about making it perfect. Chill the cake for 2 hours, but keep the frosting out at room temperature.
      3. Remove the cake from the fridge and using either an offset spatula or a butter knife, give it another coat of frosting, doing whatever decorative patterns or swirls your heart desires. Super smooth, peaks and valleys, whatever you like! Your cake, your call.

      Notes
      Decorate with sprinkles however you please.

      Buttermilk Pound Cake


      Ingredients

      • Cooking spray or vegetable oil plus flour
      • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
      • 3 cups sugar
      • 5 extra-large eggs or 6 large eggs
      • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
      • 1/2 teaspoon salt
      • 3 cups all-purpose flour
      • 1 cup buttermilk
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

      Glaze




      • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
      • Juice of 1 lemon or lime
      • Grated lemon or lime zest
      Directions

      1. Prepare a 10-inch tube pan by coating the inner surface with nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil and dusting it with flour. Set aside. 
      2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
      3. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
      4. Beat on high speed until creamy and pale, about 5 minutes.
      5. Break the eggs into a small bowl and whisk gently to break the yolks.
      6. Add the eggs to the butter mixture in two additions, beating well after each and scraping the sides of the bowl between beatings.
      7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt and flour.
      8. On medium speed, beat a third of the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture.
      9. Stop the mixer and add half of the buttermilk.
      10. Turn the mixer on low to prevent spatters and beat for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 1 minute.
      11. Add another third of the flour mixture, the rest of the buttermilk, the vanilla, and then the rest of the flour mixture, beating well after each addition and scraping the bowl periodically to incorporate all the ingredients. The batter will be thick.
      12. Scrape the batter into the prepared tube pan and rap the bottom of the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
      13. Bake in the lower third of the oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. The cake may crack on top, but this is OK.
      14. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack to continue cooling.
      15. To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemon or lime juice until smooth, then stir in some grated zest for color.
      16. Brush it on the cooled cake.

      Cranberry and Vanilla Bean Oatmeal Bars

      Ingredients
      • 18 oz. fresh cranberries
      • 1 cup brown sugar
      • seeds from one vanilla bean
      • juice from 1 lemon
      • 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
      • 1 3/4 sticks salted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for greasing pan
      • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
      • 1 1/2 cup oats
      • 1 cup packed brown sugar
      • 1 teaspoon baking powder
      • 1/2 teaspoon salt

      Directions
      1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan.
      2. To make the filling, combine the cranberries, brown sugar, vanilla bean seeds and lemon juice in a large pot with a lid.
      3. Cook on medium heat with the lid on for 5-6 minutes until the berries begin to soften and release their juices.
      4. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes so that some of the juice begins to evaporate.
      5. Stir in the corn starch to thicken the filling. I like to dust the corn starch in through a fine mesh sieve when I add it to avoid getting any big clumps.
      6. Mix together the butter, flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Combine until damp by mixing with your hands. 
      7. Press half the oat mixture into the prepared pan. 
      8. Spread top with the cranberry filling.
      9. Sprinkle the other half of the oat mixture over the preserves and pat lightly.
      10. Bake until light brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
      11. Let cool completely, chill, and then cut into squares.

      Notes
      Other flavors can be used.
