Happy Saturday! On tap today - we have a couple of minor house projects - fingers crossed that we don’t make anything worse. 🤞🏾

I’m probably going to do some peloton yoga and then I need to replenish my chocolate chip cookie freezer stash.

What are y’all doing this weekend?

Kicking off Black History Month with a slice of Edna Lewis' Caramel Cake. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Edna Lewis's book The Taste of Country Cooking greatly influences how I think of myself as a baker. For whatever reason, it wasn't until I read her description on how to make a caramel cake that things just clicked. ⁠⁠
I was having so many issues with cakes sliding off themselves because I wasn't patient enough in the process. ⁠⁠

{New} Recipe! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That time my brother dared me to make a cake without sugar. I obviously had to take things to the next level and make it a flourless cake too. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I modified flourless chocolate cake recipe taking out all of the sugar (chocolate chips and granulated sugar). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I basically stood in the sugar section of the grocery store reading the packaging on every sugar alternative before buying Splenda's Allulose. The bag said it baked like sugar and it did not disappoint. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Lily's Sugar Free Chocolate Chips were perfect to make that dreamy chocolate ganache topping. ⁠⁠
