Bacon Beer and Cheese Cupcakes

Bacon Beer and Cheese Cupcakes, yes, that’s right. I haven’t lost all of my marbles. I was recently on a team of some vary talented bloggers, Stephanie Nuccitelli of 52KitchenAdventures, and Jennifer Farley of SavorySimple. We were at a blogging competition at Eat Write Retreat food blogging conference. Eat Write Retreat had their own “Iron Chef” style competition. We were paired up together, with a couple of secret ingredients, and the task of trying to compete against many other food bloggers.

My friend Tina, of the BakingAisle.com introduced a similar cupcake to these. She found this recipe on the cupcakeproject.com website. She brought these cupcakes to a savory tea party, and they were a hit. I know what you could be thinking, that’s a crazy combination. These bacon beer and cheese cupcakes are not too sweet, but the beer and the brown sugar combine with salty and savory bacon to take your cupcakes in a completely different level.

For this competition one of our secret ingredients was Jarlsberg cheese. We combined this recipe with a darker beer than the original recipe. I thought that this combination was heavenly. If you make this recipe I would urge you to go with a darker beer, beers I would try would be something like Shinerbock, an Ocktoberfest, or even a Marzen.

Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is a wonderful way to start the morning, or even to share later in the day. This coffee cake is a dense and rich dessert. So often commercial coffee cake is overly sweet or has a texture that resembles Playdough, but not this coffee cake, this has a tunnel of a rich cream cheese inside.

This coffee cake is another post that has my favorite ingredient for this year, cream cheese, you can see cream cheese being served up in a variety of different ways in my 52 Weeks of Cream Cheese. This recipe was adapted from one in Cooks Illustrated magazine, I thought the initial recipe was complicated to make, and I wanted to simplify this recipe, for those of us who do not have a whole test lab to prepare food.

Often, I am asked to bring a dessert or something to a party, being that I have a website, I feel some pressure in trying to find innovate and great tasting dishes. I will admit to I have a great pleasure when I bring a dish, the dish comes home empty. I was in a panic on Thursday night, I had to bring a chocolate inspired dessert, and I was lacking inspiration. A friend of mine mentioned Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake, that she had it growing up.
This Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake is easy to make, a boxed cake mix, a box of pudding, chocolate syrup are the main ingredients, I put this cake together in less than 10 minutes, and I have to say this Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake was a winner. I brought home an empty dish, with people asking me for the recipe. Looking for a dessert to impress? Give this very easy to put together Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake.
