Erin Clarkson’s Instagram feed is full of delectable baked goods. But what makes her so appealing as a baker, besides the obvious mastery of the craft, is the fact that she is completely self-taught.
She started out as a geologist, working on an oil rig and now makes her home in New York City. Originally from New Zealand, this Kiwi is now a fixture in NYC, and all of her carefully crafted desserts come out of her tiny kitchen and onto her blog.
These fall recipes will wow your dinner guests, or a friend just dropping by for some tea.
Cranberry Loaf Cake
This loaf cake is easy to make, and the main ingredients are cranberries, ricotta cheese, and olive oil. They combine to make a dense batter, that bakes to perfection.
Dark Chocolate Cookies
These are not any chocolate cookies, if death by chocolate was real, then these would cause it. To achieve that dark chocolate look, Erin added rye and olive oil, in addition to dark chocolate. The best part is that these cookies are completely vegan, so everyone can enjoy them.
Custard Squares
Getting back to her Kiwi roots, Erin has created these perfect custard squares. These are considered to be a quintessential Kiwi treat. You will need to use puff pastry and homemade custard to make these.
