Simple Carrot Cake with Brown Butter Frosting

March 24, 2024 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

If you have followed me for any amount of time, or read my Southern Sympathy cookbook, then you know I am not much of one for making layered, frosted cakes. I lack the patience or skill to make them look lovely and attractive and I may be thrilled with the taste, but very rarely with the appearance. So I stick to Bundt cakes and sheet cakes, or simple single layers like this. … [Read more...] about Simple Carrot Cake with Brown Butter Frosting

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Cake

February 25, 2024 by TheRunawaySpoon 13 Comments

Winter can produce a few challenges for creative cooking. Most of the produce is dormant, or at least I’m starting to get tired of the same things. Tantalizing Spring is just around the corner, but the doldrums carry on.

From a sheet cake like this one with cookie butter … [Read more...] about Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Toffee Glaze

Cranberry Sweet Potato Upside Down Cake

I am not sure anything could be more Thanksgiving than cranberries and sweet potatoes. I have to have both on the table, or it just isn’t Thanksgiving. So as an additional treat, I created this lovely cake that is seasonal, delicious and lovely to look at. Butter and sugar on the bottom of the dish create a lovely caramel coating for the tangy cranberries, which burst creating … [Read more...] about Cranberry Sweet Potato Upside Down Cake

Sweet Corn Pound Cake with Butter Glaze

August 6, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Fresh in season corn straight from the farmers market is so deliciously sweet, it only makes sense to use it in sweet applications. But I know it can sound a little strange. The first time I served this, my dinners said it’s a “what kind of cake? Oh, okay…”  When they tasted it (and loved it) they all said they wouldn’t have known it was corn if I hadn’t told them, … [Read more...] about Sweet Corn Pound Cake with Butter Glaze

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
