Mrs. Sucrée’s Ultimate Chocolate Cake

April 30, 2020April 22, 2021by mrs.sucree1 Comment

This is my all-time favorite and easiest chocolate cake! It’s a one bowl cake that barely needs any tools (just a hand whisk, measuring tools, and your baking tin!) and I am so excited to share with you all my secrets and tricks to make this the only chocolate cake recipe you will ever need. This recipe is for the base of the cake sponge but I will add more ideas as we go on how to use it for multiple types of cakes such as layer cakes, loaf cakes, chocolate tiramisu cakes, bundt cakes. And, I have added my ingredients list in both metric measurements and cups to make it easy for you in case you don’t have a kitchen scale. However, make sure you know how to measure correctly with measuring cups and spoons.

New York-Style Bagels

The first time I made bagels, I used a different recipe and the whole batch went to the trash bin. These on the other hand have obtained the stamp of approval of everyone that has tried them! Feel free to have them anytime you miss New York! I am giving the ingredients for 8 bagels but feel free to double the recipe or half it.

Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Brownie Cookies

These went viral the minute I posted them on IG. Rightfully so because they are truly the best chocolate cookies I have ever had. Crispy outside, fudge interior and filled with Nutella. I was inspired by both Matt Adlard and Thida Bevington and combined their recipes to create these.

Banana, Cinnamon & White Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

April 4, 2020April 29, 2020by mrs.sucree2 Comments

Hot Cross Buns are an Easter staple in the UK, specially for Good Friday, but most of the world is catching on lately. Traditionally, they’re a spiced sweet bun, marked with a ross in top and they mark the end of Lent. The cross represents the crucifixion of Jesus and the spices represent the spices used to embalm him at His burial. Here’s my take on Hot Cross Buns: Banana, cinnamon & white chocolate hot cross buns for the win!

Banana Muffins

These banana muffins are so easy to make and are equally loved by adults and children. They are absolutely moist and have a delicious banana flavor. I am not saying it lightly: you won’t regret making these.

This is THE only sugar cookie recipe you will ever need. And that’s coming from someone who never cared about sugar cookies. This one definitely converted me.

Nutella Brioche Knots

March 24, 2020May 14, 2020by mrs.sucreeLeave a Comment

The most delicious way to start your day. The best part is, you can prepare the knots the night before, chill them in the fridge overnight, then bake them in the morning. I like to spread Nutella on my sweet dough, and add toasted chopped nuts & marshmallows but you can stop at the Nutella stage or go with a totally different filling.

Seven years ago, I left home for the first time and traveled to the USA to pursue a PhD in Molecular Medicine. Needless to say that, at that time, I didn't know how to cook or bake. However, I was always searching for the perfect recipes that mimic Teta's food or the familiar taste of Lebanese bakeries and pâtisseries. I decided to learn it all by watching the Great British Baking Show, Youtube videos, professional bakers and, of course, by trial and error. Since then, I’ve got my PhD and a husband at home. This blog shares all the comfort food, decadent recipes, and feel-good meals I learned along the way and it gives me the chance to share them with the community and my fellow expats. I am by no means an expert! Just a passionate self-taught baker who experiments in the kitchen when she's not doing so in the cancer research lab.

Love to all and welcome to Mrs. Sucrée!
