Carrot Cake ‘Cupcakes’ with Lime Mascarpone Icing – Thanks Jamie Oliver!

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

  • Get Creative: Garnish is just a sliver of carrot with parsley as the carrot top.

  • Make this recipe into cupcakes for Easter! That is what I am going to do along with a Create-your-Own Deviled Egg Bar for guests to make their own.

This is an impressive recipe because of the combination of the lime flavor and the moist carrot cake.  Either I dined with polite folks or they really liked this cake and wanted the recipe.  This sparked a conversation about cooks who don’t like to share their recipes.  I told them it was fine with me to share this carrot cake recipe because Jamie Oliver had shared it with me!

Jamie Oliver and Sunset Magazine are two that I trust for solid recipes that will succeed on the first try!

NYC Butter Lane Bakery: Banana Cupcakes w/ Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I am lazy enough to not cancel a magazine subscription that I didn’t even order.   This month I was glad that I didn’t cancel it because I found this recipe in a Glamour Magazine of all places.  The recipe is from New York City’s Butter Lane Bakery.

On Serious Eats they describe the difference between two different icing types that they use @ Butter Lane Bakery. They make an American icing version and a French version.  This recipe is the Americano! What do you think?
