Flourless Chocolate Cake {Relishments Bakes – August 2019}

Published on August 6, 2019 By Emily. Updated on August 6, 2019

Hello, friends! Thanks so much for all your feedback on last month’s popovers. They’ll be recurring in my house for sure…but now it’s on something completely different.

I also received some feedback last month that summer is simply too hot to consider baking. I, however, find summer to be an excellent time for baking – the days start early and end late and are often relatively cool at either of those times. Plus, there are usually plenty of events to bring baked goods to, in the event that you don’t want to singlehandedly consume an entire cheesecake. In short, it’s always the right time for baking (I also think it’s always the right time to drink hot tea though, so your mileage may vary).

If you need a reminder of how Relishments Bakes works, check out this page for all the details!

Relishments Bakes – August

This month, we’re making flourless chocolate cake!

To be honest, I’m not sure why we’re making a flourless chocolate cake. I planned out the schedule for Relishments Bakes months ago and this is what I chose, apparently. But now that I’ve spent a bunch of time researching recipes and adding things to Pinterest, I am so excited to be making one. There are so many incredible looking possibilities and many of them have super short ingredient lists.

These options especially caught my eye:

  • Flourless Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream – What’s Gaby Cooking
  • Easy Small Nemesis Chocolate Cake – Serious Eats
  • Flourless Mocha Torte – Ghirardelli
  • Chocolate Idiot Cake – David Lebovitz
  • Flourless Chocolate and Almond Layer Cake – The Kitchn

As always, the Pinterest board for this month has lots of ideas too!

Don’t forget to use #RelishmentsBakes on your social media posts and tag @relishments so I can see your flourless chocolate cake results!

    My sister was allergic to flour. We had flour-less cake and cookies. Love them!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
