Hello, happy Friday!

I am writing this whilst I am supposed to be packing for my book tour; I’ll be flying Sunday morning, and I cannot wait to hit the road for two weeks of fun events across the US.

I’ll be checking in from all the different cities of the tour, so I should have a bunch of fun mini newsletters coming your way over the next two weeks.

Before I head out, I thought it was time for a catch-up. It's been a long time since I’ve done a recipe roundup, and there have been some really fabulous things on the newsletter recently and I wanted to remind you of them in case any of them passed you by.

The Future

I would also love to take this opportunity to ask what sort of content you guys would like to see more of in the future. I want this newsletter to be as useful and as inspiring as possible, so I want to make the sort of content you really want, so do let me know in the comments, and I can include it in my plans going forward

For today's post, I wanted to bring something out of the archive - a recipe that was a result of my last book tour, a ridiculously good little layer cake, a small 6 inch cake for when a big ol layer cake is just a bit too much. I created the recipe for a collaboration with another NY bakery, Ovenly in Brooklyn. The cake was a malted chocolate marble cake with a ganache filling and a silky smooth peanut butter frosting. To decorate the cake, I used some of the bakery’s legendary peanut butter cookies, crumbled over the top. I’ve made this cake multiple times since, and I cannot tell how much I love it. If you want to make the cookies for this cake, a version of the recipe (and what I use at home when making the cake) was published in my previous book and is also online here.
