In their February issue, Bon Appetit planned out a menu for a FAMILY valentine's day. So, I decided to tackle the dessert portion of that menu, Raspberry Lemon Heart Cakes. Here's their picture from the magazine:
And here's my family's version! (NOTE: I don't have any children and am currently living in a separate state/city than my husband/ spent my Valentine's night alone, baking.)
Surprisingly close, right?!!If only the actual cake would've turned out as similar... I've been mulling over what I think I did wrong and I think part of it was that I pulled it out of the oven too soon. See that weirdness in the center? I should've waited...but it had already been in the oven for 32 mins and their recipe called for 26-28.
Despite having zero children helping me, I still made a nice mess.
Their version looks so light and airy!
Mine were dense and sort of rubbery.
It wasn't a Valentine's completely devoid of my husband, though. Check out the bowl I mixed everything in:

Those look AMAZING! Wish I could've helped. Maybe we'll make something in MARCH!
hahahaha! this is so cute!
I love the picture, Amerz...and tell me what the rest of that lovely bowl says? Andrea
That bowl is amazing. And not to worry - you're husband was rocking it Coquesah style, dedicating every song to you.
(I don't know why I spelled 'your' that way.)
