In reply to Carrie.

I have not personally done it, but others have reported 30-35 minute bake time, but since I haven’t tried it myself I can’t say for sure. I’d make sure to keep an eye on it as it bakes. 🙂

In reply to Lisa.

Hi Lisa! I honestly haven’t tried it or done much research on. it so I can’t say for sure how it would work. I would love to know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

Hi Kellie! I actually explain how to tell if it’s done in step 6 of the baking instructions. I also briefly show it in the video to help with some visual cues. 🙂

Hi Samantha! It may take an extra couple of minutes in the oven. I would put them on the same rack to bake. 🙂

I have a trick for easy peeling eggs. Bring salted water to a boil and with a slotted spoon gently slip eggs into the boiling water. Cook for 13 minutes . Remove from heat into the sink and drain as much hot water as possible and run cold water over them and add ice until the water is super cold. Let sit for 10 minutes or so and then crack while running under cold water and shells slip right off.

Love this recipe!!! So much that I need to make 2 at the same time and I have a few questions…can I put both cheesecakes on the same rack in the oven? Do I need to bake them any extra length of time? Any other tips or tricks for multiple cheesecakes at once? Thank you so much!!!

What is the best technique to test for doneness?

In reply to Clarence.

If the butter was hard to combine with the flour, then chances are your butter wasn’t soft enough. I use the reverse creaming method often, and the key is having room temp, very squishable butter.

Can this be made as a sheet cake?

OMGGGGGG!!!
😍😍😍
Sam’s cheesecake recipe HANDS DOWN lives up to its name!

This was my first time making a cheesecake, and this recipe was super easy to follow (not to mention ULTRA delicious!). The tips you gave helped out tremendously, too!

I will absolutely be making this cheesecake again (and again 😉)! Thank you for sharing your marvelous cheesecake recipe, Sam!

Do you know what the bake time would be for a 9×13?

Comment on Chocolate Scones by Sam

In reply to Amber.

Yikes, no, I doubt they will bake well either but I am not sure what went wrong. The weight measurements are what I personally use and I haven’t ever experienced what you are describing nor had anyone else report it. Does your dough look the same as mine does in the video? All I can think is an accidental mismeasure of the flour? Otherwise I’m stumped, we make these pretty regularly here and they’re a favorite.
And the texture of scones is better without an egg which is why I do not include them, I’ve tested extensively both ways and no egg wins every time.

I had to add an additional 3/4 CUP heavy cream these were so dry. I follow weight measurements for all of my baking recipes on any site. I doubt these will bake well. Also, why no egg??

Comment on The Best Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe by Lisa

Lisa — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 14:08:13 +0000

This is my go-to cornbread recipe. So delicious and turns out perfect even when I only have milk and have to create my own buttermilk (lemon/vinegar).

My question is –
Is it possible to substitute the buttermilk for kefir milk? I made vanilla cupcakes the other day and the recipe said I can either use buttermilk or kefir. Since I have a bottle of kefir leftover I was wondering if I could use the same substitution for other recipes that called for buttermilk. I wanted to use it for your cornbread, but if it alters the taste/texture then I will avoid it.

Looking forward to your advice. Thanks in advance!

In reply to Molly.

Hi Molly! There’s not really such a thing as a true clear vanilla extract, you’ll only find imitation which is the same as flavor. If I use clear vanilla I usually use McCormick brand, but unless I’m really going for a pure white cake I just use regular pure vanilla extract, which is what I currently use when I make this cake. I hope that helps!

Comment on Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins by Hanna

Hanna — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 11:27:25 +0000

These are too delicious, I’m totally addicted! They have the creamiest, most fluffy texture! I slightly reduced the sugar (like 20 g less, with the cream 10 g less) and they turned out perfect and sweet enough! I also took 300 g blueberries just bc the package was as big and I have to say I enjoy the ones with less blueberries more, since the perfect cheesecreme comes out better in these ones, so the amount in the recipe would be perfekt I think. (I made 16 muffins out of it, with german muffin tins it was perfect and filled to the very top.)
Tank you so much for the great recipe!! x3 They will definitely have a comeback on my coffeetable!

These are not only unbelievably easy to make, but they’re delicious! I made these for a large group dinner and they flew off the table. This twist on rice crispy treats is absolutely amazing and they WILL be making future appearances in our home!

Clear Vanilla Extract seems impossible to find.
I looked on Amazon and can only find Clear Vanilla Flavor and Clear Imitation Vanilla Extract.
I know “Flavor” is different, but is “Imitation” different also?
And, if I’m not making it… do you buy yours somewhere?

In reply to Sandra Mulligan.

Hi Sandra! I opt for oil to keep the cake more moist, especially since the cake needs to be refrigerated. With that being said, butter will work here, but keep in mind that the cake may not be quite as moist. 🙂

In reply to Gaby Pizzo.

Hi Gaby! If you frost the cake it will stay nice and moist, otherwise you will want to wrap cakes tightly in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. 🙂
