Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

Plus valentine's linzer cookies, banana blueberry upside down cake, and strawberry rose paczki!

Hello hello!

I know usually I send these out on Friday but I hope this will be worth the wait! I’ve got *three* new recipes for you and one updated one.

If you didn’t see my newsletter earlier this week, hello! I’ve switched over to substack to hopefully make this newsletter a better, more enjoyable experience for us all. Everything is essentially still the same, but I will also be offering exclusive content for paid subscribers! You’ll receive an exclusive recipe once a month, as well as a baking science deep-dive. In my previous email I sent out a poll for what you wanted to see for the first subscriber-exclusive recipe. It’s been a pretty close race so far but it looks like it’s going to be toffee oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

If you’d like to subscribe to support me and receive exclusive content, you can do so by clicking the button below. If not, that’s completely understandable and I appreciate you being here!

Now let’s get on with what we’re all here for, recipes!

red velvet cheesecake brownies

Admittedly I am not red velvets biggest fan, but there’s no denying that red velvet is fun, and brownies are delicious, and cream cheese always tastes great. These red velvet cheesecake brownies are ridiculously fudgy like my other brownies, are super thick (even thicker than my standard small batch brownies!), dyed red, and swirled with cheesecake.

valentine’s linzer cookies

Because valentine’s day is right around the corner, and these are the perfect little sweet treat.

banana blueberry upside down cake

I might be in love with this cake. It’s a moist, banana hazelnut cake that’s baked on top of a thick layer of brown sugar coated blueberries. The blueberries get super jammy, and paired with the moist banana cake and crunch of the hazelnuts it’s truly just *perfection*

strawberry rose paczki

Halfway through this week, I realized that National Paczki Day is right around the corner (next Tuesday) which meant that these strawberry rose paczki were way overdue for an immediate update! These were actually one of the first recipes on my blog - they’re brioche donuts that are filled with a strawberry rose jam and coated in rose sugar - what’s not to love!

Thanks so much for reading, I hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend! :)
