"We're bringing our childhood memories to the table, and now people are paying attention," said Erick Rocha, pastry chef at Corima in Manhattan and the all-day cafe Vato, in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where conchas regularly sell out.

The cake came to me rather easily. I had a vision. I got lucky. But the challenge came when it was time to develop the frosting. I feel like everyone in the Test Kitchen had an opinion on what it should be...I definitely tried at least 10 different frostings.

A 60-gram slice of sourdough contains about 6 to 8 grams of protein, comparable to an egg, and is likely to leave you feeling fuller.

Franz Bakery produces up to a million buns per day, showcasing its manufacturing capabilities through free factory tours that attract school groups and adults alike.

Trader Joe's cinnamon raisin bread was soft, very sweet, and decadently moist. Each slice contained just the right amount of luscious, rich cinnamon sugar swirls and pops of juicy raisins.

The Cheesecake-Off 2026 will feature some of London's best restaurant and bakery teams, including Big Mamma Group and Cakes & Bubbles by Albert Adrià, competing for the ultimate cheesecake title.

The cake utilizes a technique called reverse creaming to make the crumb exceptionally tender. Usually it's done with a stand mixer, but in this recipe, you use your hands-kind of like you would making pie crust.

Baking time and temperature are dependent on the type of cake you're making. A dense, heavier, and moister fruitcake is going to need to be baked longer and at a higher temperature than angel food cake, which you don't want to brown.

The Cake Picnic is not a competition, or even a showcase, it's cakenomic redistribution on a grand scale. Bake one, then sample until your sugary little heart is content.

Baking cakes started out as a college hobby. I'd make them for my sorority sisters and, once word got out, the broader Dallas community.

I was worried about losing my carefully crafted identity as a professional. I was looking for something to carry me through that time What else can I be? She decided to do rather than be something new. Hardin Woods would bake a pie every day for a year, using fresh ingredients local to her home in Salem, Oregon and she would give each pie away.

Anything bright and zingy is particularly welcome in January, even more so when it's in the form of cake. I always have an odd end of marzipan after the festive season, and this is a great way to use it up and bring that cosy almond flavour. The marzipan gets blitzed into the butter for a plush-textured loaf cake, and comes together in minutes thanks to simply putting everything in a food processor.

I love dessert as much as the next person. The existence of dessert is truly one of the best things to have happened to mankind, and I've always had immense respect for people who know how to make these sweet treats. Now, if you're curious like me, you've probably also tried whipping some stuff up in the kitchen (no one's going to ask if you failed. That's between you and your stand mixer).

All out of whole milk, or looking for a non-dairy substitute for allergies or diet preferences? Milk is an important ingredient in baked recipes: it softens the baked good, provides moisture, and helps with browning. It's also integral in many types of savory recipes as well.

So when engineers at The New York Times steered a generative artificial intelligence model to scale our recipes, I worked with them to address common questions that math alone can't answer and create nuanced rules for a range of situations. (How do you halve three whole eggs?) Our recipe editors, all of whom have decades of professional experience, then reviewed rounds of scaled recipes, and the engineers incorporated that feedback into their model to help ensure the best possible outcomes.

Say hello to morning glory muffins, made vegan + gluten-free! A classic treat originally created by Pam McKinstry in 1978 at her Nantucket restaurant, Morning Glory Cafe, these muffins are lightly sweet, subtly spiced, and packed with fruits, veggies, AND nuts. OH yeah! Our gluten-free twist uses oat flour and potato starch (no almond flour!) to create a tendermuffin that's wholesome and satisfying. Brew your favorite coffee or tea and let's make muffins!

The taste of a fresh, juicy strawberry is incomparable. When these delicious berries aren't in season, you might think you're out of luck, but thanks to the technology of freeze-drying, you can still enjoy your favorite tastes and glean much of the same nutrients in a crunchy and more compact format. You should always keep freeze-dried fruit in your pantry for snacking, cooking, baking, and more. And crushed freeze-dried strawberries are a perfect complement to elevate a number of different desserts.
