Brownies

Yesterday, our downstairs neighbor boy came up and told us he had some brownies for us. (They oftentimes send up treats for us to eat.) So we were all excited to eat these brownies, and we uncovered the plate, and all that was on it was a bunch of brown colored letter 'E's.

So disappointing (yet so very, very clever).

Happy April Fool's Day to us.

What I Should Conquer Next

Vern said to me, "Do you know what you should try to conquer next?"

I said, "Poker?"

"No."

"Rock Climbing?"

"No."

"Bowling?"

(These were all things I was thinking of mastering.)

"No."

"What then?"

"You should work on not punching someone in the face when they tickle you."

(I don't actually punch people in the face, but I do kind of make the motion like I'm going to punch them in the face. It's, like, a knee-jerk reaction that I just can't help. Apparently, I need to conquer that.)

Walnut Cake with Mascarpone Cream

I made this for Easter, because I couldn't find all of the ingredients for tiramisu (where the heck does one find ladyfingers anyway???). The original recipe came from here. It's supposed to be a coffee cake, but I didn't have coffee, so I just made it without.

Also, it should be noted, as seen in the photo, that I should have let the cake cool completely before frosting it. There is supposed to be a middle layer of frosting, but it all got smooshed in and absorbed into the cake.

Cake

• 1 cup walnuts (about 4 ounces), toasted, chopped, divided
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

Coffee-mascarpone cream

• 4 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese*
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

•  3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) walnuts, toasted, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
