Midnight Cake with Dark Chocolate Fig Ganache & Pomegranate Syrup

November 1, 2019 2 Comments

If you spend any amount of time poking around this blog, you’ll find there aren’t many cakes here. Actually, you’ll find there aren’t that many dessert recipes period. The truth is I’m no prolific baker. I find the activity rather stressful with a high degree of difficulty. But the desire to be better is always there. And as a person who enjoys aesthetics, I do feel a real desire to make beautiful desserts. So, every now and then, I try my hand at a layer cake to see if I’m just as clumsy as I was before. And with today’s Midnight Cake with Dark Chocolate Fig Ganache, I do feel like I’ve leveled up…maybe to, like, a green belt? Or is that really high? I never took tae kwon do.

Yes, I am aware that today is a Monday and we are as far away from Sunday brunch as any of us care to be. But I feel like we all need something to aspire to. On a Monday of all days don’t we need to be reminded of the joys that await us at the other end of the week? On a Monday don’t we deserve the warm, cozy thoughts that today’s Korean Rolled Omelette Breakfast Sandwich affords us? I say, hell yeah, we do! Mondays are jam-packed front to back and it’s nice to think that in less than a week’s time we’ll be able to linger over a cup of coffee once again.

It’s been a hot minute since I posted a dessert. Yeah, sorry about that. Hopefully, today’s Bananas Foster Tart will get your sugar levels back where they ought to be and more than make-up for my dessert-related-negligence. I mean, this tart is essentially two desserts in one. There’s the base tart, which is a cardamom-heavy-riff on the classic British egg custard tart. And then there’s the topping – a faithful recreation of Bananas Foster, the quintessential New Orleans dessert rivaled only by the beignet in terms of popularity. So yeah, I’m gonna guess this tart alleviates any lingering feelings of resentment. We cool?

Sometimes food is just about comfort. It’s not about fuel, nourishment, or appearance. It’s not about being clever or making a statement. Sometimes food is just for you and your feelings whatever they may be. And today’s Risotto Stuffed Squash with Fried Sage is a prime example of this comfort-forward, hide-from-the-world food. And how do I know this? Well, I’m currently eating the leftovers, hood up, hiding from the world. And it’s every bit as wonderfully pathetic as you’re imagining it to be.
