BROWN SUGAR AND CHOCOLATE CHIP POUND CAKE WITH MAPLE-ESPRESSO GLAZE

Steps:

• For cake:
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 12-cup Bundt pan. Spray pan generously with nonstick spray. Dust pan lightly with flour. Mix chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons flour in medium bowl. Sift remaining flour with baking soda, baking powder, and salt into another medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract and maple extract. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chip mixture. Transfer batter to prepared pan, spreading evenly.
• Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean and cake begins to pull away from sides of pan, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on rack 30 minutes. Invert cake onto rack and cool completely.
• GOOD TO KNOW:
• Mixing the chocolate chips with a little flour before adding them to the batter helps the chips stay evenly suspended in the batter and evenly distributed throughout the baked cake (otherwise, they may sink to the bottom).
• For glaze:
• Combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons cream, and espresso powder in medium bowl. Whisk until smooth, adding more cream by 1/2 teaspoonfuls if glaze is too thick to drizzle. Spoon glaze decoratively over top of cake; let stand at room temperature until glaze is firm, about 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and let stand at room temperature.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together, add to the mixture and mix until combined. Add the sour cream and buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the espresso, and mix until it is combined.

CHEWY ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter begins to foam and turns a golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma. Take butter off the heat and allow to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat until mixed together. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• In separate bowl mix together the flour, espresso powder, salt and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until everything comes together. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Do not over mix.
• Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least a half hour, or overnight.
• When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough out into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the centers have puffed up but are still gooey.

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, soda and espresso powder until well combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth and creamy.
• Add the salt and brown sugar and cream on medium speed until very light and fluffy, scraping bowl as necessary. This will take about 10 minutes.
• Whisk the vanilla into the beaten eggs and slowly drizzle the eggs into the batter with the mixer running. Do this gradually, a bit at a time, over about 5 minutes. Scrape bowl as necessary.
• Whisk together the sour cream and milk.
• With the mixer off, add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the bowl. Mix on low for a few seconds and stream in about half of the milk/sour cream mixture. Scrape bowl as necessary.
• Add another half of the dry ingredients followed by the rest of the milk/sour cream. End with the dry ingredients.
• Fold batter by hand to make sure all the flour is incorporated.
• Scrape into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack of the oven for about an hour. It takes 1 hour, 5 minutes in my oven for the cake to be done and register 200F on an instant read thermometer.
• Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Turn cake out onto a rack to cool completely before glazing.
• Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl.
• Bring the half and half to a boil and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit a minute and stir slowly until smooth and glossy.
• Spoon evenly over the cooled cake. It won't give you full coverage, and that's just fine.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add a tablespoon of milk and the vanilla. Stir well and check consistency. It should be a fairly thin glaze that will flow freely from the end of a spoon or the tines of a fork. Stir in milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
• Pull some glaze out of the bowl with a spoon or a fork and move it over the cake in a circular motion. Continue until you have pretty even coverage all over the top and about halfway down the sides of the cake.
• Store cake at room temperature. Enjoy.
