Blackberry Semifreddo

What’s easier than ice cream, classier than a popsicle? The Italian frozen mousse known as semifreddo. Find my recipe at the Oregon Blackberry and Raspberry Commission website.

Antique Blackberry Cream Pie

This recipe comes from the Neighborhood Cook Book, published in Portland, Oregon, in 1912. Find my recipe, updated to modern kitchens, at Oregon Raspberries & Blackberries.

View this post on Instagram Made a real quick cake tonight, just for shits & gigs. It’s a pretty simple riff on a Mexican chocolate-type torte, just chocolate, cinnamon, ancho chile, and vanilla, with slivered almonds and sesame seeds for textural contrast. Super basic, no …

Blackberry Jam Cake with White Chocolate Chips

Funny story: I put this cake together because my family accidentally opened a second jar of my homemade/homegrown Chester blackberry jam when there was a full jar already in the fridge. And by the looks of it, this is gonna be another good berry year, …

Muscat Love

If you can swing it, make this with a strong, top-quality honey (I use Old Raw Blue Honey’s dreamy pumpkin honey) and a really grassy olive oil. Recipe after the jump. Second draft of this polenta grape cake — this one with a little less …

Marmalade Cake with Campari Icing

Marmalade Tea Cake

Okay, here’s the recipe for the orange marmalade cake WITH the recipe for it! It’s a wonderfully fragrant cake with a tender crumb, and I’ve made so many of them lately that I could practically do it in my sleep now. Recipe below the jump. …

Pear-Almond Tea Cake
