🧈🍌 CAKE OF THE WEEK 🍌🧈 A few weeks ago I made MY personal favorite flavor of cake, so this week I’m making YOUR absolute favorite cake of all the different types that I make: my Brown Butter Banana Bread Cake! This one has regularly been my best-selling cake for many years, and I can definitely understand why! It’s basically what would happen if a foodie hipster baker dude got ahold of your grandma’s favorite banana bread recipe, added some brown butter and roasted caramelized bananas, then added a touch of rich maple syrup. Come see what all the fuss is about tomorrow morning! Better hurry though, this one goes fast, and once it’s gone it won’t be back until next year!

☠️🍫 MUFFIN TIME 🍫☠️ I’ve gotta help the people get their chocolate fix, so this week I’m making more of my Death By Chocolate Muffins, cuz I’m just magnanimous like that. Dark chocolate muffins loaded with dark chocolate chunks, and topped with more chocolate shortbread crumbles and chocolate icing - what’s not to love?

‼️⚠️ NEW ITEM ALERT ⚠️‼️ I was a big fan of the Blueberry Buckle, so I’ve played with the concept a bit more and added my favorite fruit to make some Blackberry Buckle Coffee Cake! It’s a vanilla coffee cake base loaded with sweet ripe blackberries and some blackberry compote swirled in, and finished with a cinnamon streusel shortbread topping! It’ll be around for the next two weeks, so come try it while it lasts!

The heat has finally broken and it’s looking like it’s gonna be a beautiful day at Lawrence Farmers Market tomorrow, so be sure to come say hi!

🫜❤️ CAKE OF THE WEEK ❤️🫜 Okay y’all, I’m giving the people what they want this week, with a fresh local twist: introducing my Old School Red Velvet Cake! But first, it’s time for a History Lesson…

Did you know that Red Velvet Cake actually predates commercial food coloring? In the late 1800’s, chocolate cakes were becoming popular due to the introduction of cocoa powder. One of the most popular varieties came to be known as Devil’s Cake. A few years later, bakers started adding acids like buttermilk to their batter to activate the baking soda leavening, creating a lighter crumb and fluffy texture. However, the acid also had another effect: it activated pigments found in the cocoa powder, causing the cake to take on a rusty reddish hue. This pigmented variety of cake soon became known as Red Devil’s Cake or Velvet Cocoa Cake, due to the soft velvety texture.

However, during the rationing periods of both World Wars and the Great Depression, bakers were forced to get clever due to an overall lack of sugar and cocoa. Many bakers started using red beets as a sugar replacement, and as a means to replicate the earthy flavors and colors of cocoa. Interestingly enough, the more prominent red tint from the beets became culturally ingrained into the identity of the Velvet Cake over the years, which eventually prompted commercial food dye producers to distribute recipes for Velvet Cake loaded with red food coloring to promote their products, eventually labeling it Red Velvet Cake.

So yeah, that whole long-winded explanation was basically just a way for me to justify putting beets in a cake.

I mean, we ARE at a farmer’s market, aren’t we? And what do we have a ton of? BEETS! So buckle up, buttercup, we’re doing it. We’re making the Old School version of Red Velvet Cake with no dyes or coloring other than local beets from our friends and fellow market vendors at Juniper Hill Farm. Now, of course it isn’t gonna be that bright red shade that we’re all used to, but rather a rich burgundy closer to the true origins of Red Velvet Cake. And no, it doesn’t taste like beet cake, just chocolatey goodness!

Come visit me tomorrow morning at Lawrence Farmers Market!

🍌🍫 MUFFIN TIME 🍫🍌 Y'all clearly can't get enough of these, so I'm bringing back my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread muffins this week! These pretty much explain themselves: my brown butter banana bread muffin base paired with dark chocolate chunks... What's not to love? 🤷‍♀️

🍍 🥥 CAKE OF THE WEEK 🥥🍍 We're squeezing out the last of the Summer vacay vibes with my Piña Colada Cake! You know, every week I get asked about a dozen times what my favorite cake is out of all the ones I make, and I always give a dozen non-committal answers. How could I choose a favorite out of all my babies? But no more, we're taking a stand today and I'm declaring it loud and proud. It's this one. This one's my absolute favorite of all time. This is, in my scientifically objective opinion, the best cake that I make. Yes, all the other ones are great, but between the soft moist pillowy texture, the warm flavors of coconut and pineapple, and the rich creamy smoothness of the coconut milk in the batter, this is the one that I look forward to the most each year. Yes, I know what you're thinking: "But Mr. CHONKY, I don't like coconut, and therefore haven't tried anything with coconut in it since 1992." And to that, I confidently say: I've converted MANY coconut-haters with this cake, so you should absolutely give it a try regardless of your prior preconceived Coconut Opinions! Who knows, you might also find a new favorite! 🤷‍♀️😏 Besides, it tastes like vacation, and who doesn't like vacation?

‼️🍑 NEW ITEM ALERT 🍑‼️ Y'all, it happened. I made Peaches and Cream Scones, and they're freaking delightful. Need I say more? You better hurry though cuz these things aren't gonna be around for long!

☠️🍫 MUFFIN TIME 🍫☠️ I needed a chocolate fix, so I'm bringing back some Death by Chocolate Muffins this weekend. Come get some while they last!

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Lawrence Farmers Market!

🍌 🍫 MUFFIN TIME 🍫🍌 I'm bringing back one of your favorites, my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins! They also have plenty of brown butter in them, but I just didn't have enough room to fit that in the name. 🙃🤣

‼️📣 NEW ITEM ALERT 📣‼️ I'm mixing things up this week with some new White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies! These delightful little cuties are stuffed full of REAL white chocolate, not those gross white baking chips. I was also feeling a little fruity (😏), so I decided to add in some candied dried cranberries just for an extra pop of flavor! Better hurry and get some before they're gone!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all bright and early at ! Come early to beat the heat and get some goodies before everything melts 🫠
