Chocolate Espresso Pound Cake and Butter Baked Goods Giveaway

 

Chocolate Espresso Pound Cake

Chocolate Espresso Pound Cake is one of over 100 traditional baking recipes featured  in the Butter Baked Goods cookbook by Rosie Daykin.  Rosie is the owner of the Butter Baked Goods bakery in Vancouver which is famously known for its best gourmet marshmallows in North Amercia.

Butter Baked Goods Cookbook

The nine chapters feature recipes of baking goodness for muffins, scones, cinny buns, loaves, drop and sandwich cookies, roller and cut cookies, bars and slices, butter creams and frostings, cakes, cupcakes and whoppie pies, pastry pie and tarts, and confections. And, yes! Rosie included the Butter’s Famous Marshmallows recipe with a step-by-step photo guide.

 

 

The recipes are written in an easy to follow format preceded by a few lines of good to know information. The Chocolate Espresso Pound cake recipe is on page 163 and the Chocolate Glaze is on page 137.  The cake turned out beautifully rich in flavour with the combination of chocolate and espresso coffee.  This is the cake you want to have on hand to satisfy your chocolate craving.

My copy of the Butter Baked Goods cookbook is full of post-its on the pages of recipes  I want to make.  I really love the look and feel of this cookbook with its pastel colours and beautiful photography.  It makes me want to take out my china tea pot, cups and plates and have a small afternoon tea to serve the wonderful treats I will be making.

The Butter Baked Goods cookbook makes a wonderful gift for both the beginner or experienced bakers on your holiday gift list.

I wrote this post as part of the Butter Baked Goods Giveaway event.  Take a look at what other fabulous recipes from the cookbook the other participants are hosting on their blogs.
