A dark ripple looks better on a pale cake, IMO.<br /><br />Sorry to hear your caramel cake wasn't a total success - I'll be trying butterscotch blondies again tomorrow, with a new recipe, so fingers crossed this time.Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-40764158883856454382010-02-14T18:24:28.082+00:002010-02-14T18:24:28.082+00:00Marbled into the top of a cake, hmm sounds good, b...Marbled into the top of a cake, hmm sounds good, but it wouldn't work on a brownie because you wouldn't have that brownie 'crust' then would you, is that what you mean? I put some of the cwc caramac into a cake I made, the cake was a bit of a disaster, rose and fell, but I think that was due to an insufficient quantity of baking powder, but it definitely gave the cake a distinctive gentle caramac/toffee light taste which has potential I think! I have still to make brownies with it, trying hard not to bake too much as my waist line is struggling. I'll let you know what happens...Zebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-88623639564178362792010-02-12T22:28:10.980+00:002010-02-12T22:28:10.980+00:00Zeb - I found a recipe on the Merchant Gourmet sit...Zeb - I found a recipe on the Merchant Gourmet site which drizzled half a bottle of Dulce de Leche Chocolate Toffee Squeeze over the top of a cinnamon cake and marbled it into the surface before baking. I'm not sure this idea would work with brownies, as the visual effect is part of the attraction, but it could be good over blondies.<br />http://www.merchant-gourmet.com/recipes/desserts/chocolate-toffee-cinnamon-cake/Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-17271750243663239402010-02-12T19:49:49.238+00:002010-02-12T19:49:49.238+00:00Hi Zeb.

I'm OK with swapping dried fruits, nuts, spices etc but not when it comes to messing around with the basic proportions of fat:sugar:flour:liquid, which this product would do.<br /><br />I'll have to give it some thought as I can't think of any obvious way to use it at the moment. Hopefully I'll get back to you!Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-29566277775754544632010-02-12T18:10:26.168+00:002010-02-12T18:10:26.168+00:00Suelle - Do you think this stuff might work in a b...Suelle - Do you think this stuff might work in a brownie somehow? Merchant Gourmet Dulce de Leche Chocolate Toffee squeeze? It's quite runny and I don't know how to adapt recipes but I think it might have possibilities?

Meanwhile I'm think I'm going to find out if white chocolate brownies are nicer.<br /><br />Choclette - I'm often disappointed by butterscotch flavours in baking, but I do like it! Recipes using dulce de leche or similar products are often better than recipes using brown sugar.Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-21974467688084454802010-02-03T19:54:21.088+00:002010-02-03T19:54:21.088+00:00Oh what a shame.

Don't give up on the blondies though - try another recipe. <br /><br />I really like macadamias too, but agree with you about the expense - they are a bit of a luxury.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-49185902086439574122010-02-03T19:16:20.500+00:002010-02-03T19:16:20.500+00:00Don't give up, Suelle, there are some deliciou...Don't give up, Suelle, there are some delicious blondie recipes out there! They're not usually so dense though, and they often have a similar texture to a brownie. I'll see if I can find a nice Mrs Field's recipe for you...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
