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

Strawberry Caramel Cake

April 16, 2023 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

I don’t know if necessity is the mother of invention here so much as desire. I had beautiful strawberries. I needed to make a dessert.

Last year, I went on a little tear baking with fruit and herbs. It started when a favorite vendor at the farmers market had a proliferation of lemon balm, and it was so fragrant I couldn’t resist. That led to my Nectarine and Lemon Balm Cake. The same trip to the market resulted in a plethora of blueberries, so I turned them into this dense, rich pound cake, and with my … [Read more...] about Blueberry Lavender Pound Cake

Chocolate Buttermilk Pound Cake with Buttermilk Ganache

February 7, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day gives us all a chance to indulge, and what better way to treat yourself than a rich chocolate cake that is simple to make and completely decadent. I’ve made some version of Chocolate Pound Cake for years, but I kept thinking “this is good, but it could use more chocolate.” So with some tinkering, I figured out how to pack in some really intense chocolate flavor. … [Read more...] about Chocolate Buttermilk Pound Cake with Buttermilk Ganache

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.
