We got married on a cold, wintry December evening in Delhi. And most of it is a blur. I know I had 57 hairpins poked into my head and was oddly comfortable. I know I smiled more than I ever have in my life. And for the most part, I was operating on auto-pilot. What…

Salted Caramel Sauce
Christmas baking time is here! To start us off, here’s a jar of salted caramel sauce. It goes so well with almost any kind of dessert but really, it goes best with a spoon. No judgement. Sweet, sticky, toffee-like, with a salty kick. It’s the absolute, dreamiest sauce in the world!
Roasted Pear and Chocolate Scones
I’m not sure why I choose weekday mornings to do things that are only, and I mean only, weekend-friendly. This blog turns me into crazy cake lady sometimes. There’s a not-so-little voice at the back of my mind going “maaaaaaake something” but I don’t listen to it when I don’t have the energy. Early mornings, however, lots…
Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Every time I think “Wow, I’ve found my favourite blogger” (not me), I go find another one equally awesome. This is the amazing thing about blogging. You never stop being amazed. Pinch of Yum helped me out in a pinch. I wanted to bake something, and all I had lying around was a ton of…
Apple Cinnamon Muffins
The last of the winter apples are lying in my fruit basket and I figured updating an old apple muffin post was the best way to use them up! Warm, super soft, cinnamon-y little muffins with chunks of juicy apples throughout. So much easier than pie!
Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins
I have waited ridiculously long to make these. And put in way too much energy looking for something as tiny as a poppy seed. I think every grocer around my home and office must recognize me as the girl who rushes in and out going “No? No black poppy seeds? They are used in baking…? No, those…
Plum Cake
There are some things that are meant to happen. Like baking this cake on weeknights. Apart from preparing the plums, there’s really no work involved and it tastes best left out overnight. Get home from work, make a cake, go to sleep, wake up, eat a cake. I bring to you the softest butter cake…
Chocolate Whiskey Cake
I almost didn’t put up this post. Right now, looking at all this chocolate, I honestly don’t know how I even contemplated that. I baked this for my husband’s birthday to go with whiskey themed presents 🙂 The cake is moist, rich and bursting with whiskey and chocolate along with some very pleasing hints of coffee and spices. An…
No-Bake Nutella PB Cookies 2.0
It’s The Desserted Girl’s first blogversary! I turn one today 🙂 In case you missed my nostalgia post, thank you so, so, so much for getting me to this day. It’s been awesome 🙂 My first ever post on this blog were these super easy cookies. It was more of a trial post and all…
