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:
