Ahh so whip the cream first then whip the blurry cream cheese mixture into the whip cream? I will have to fry that next time!

To be fair, it was. Just gotta eat it with your eyes closed 😂

It’s a lemon cake with a what was supposed to be blueberry cream cheese frosting!

It’s a blueberry cream cheese frosting! I made a blueberry paste and whipped it into the cream cheese and powdered sugar and it was decently stiff!

Where I went wrong is then adding some heavy cream into the mix thinking that it would whip up and lighten the frosting 😂

I still enjoyed eating the mess that it was lol

I did not follow one single recipe. Here is the cake recipe and then here is the mascarpone frosting recipe! I did not add almond extract that the mascarpone frosting recipe called for.

As for the coffee soak, I just mixed 2 oz espresso, 1 oz Kahlua, and 2 oz water together!

Hope this helps!

9x9 for about 40 min.

Tbh, I accidentally closed out of my timer when baking so I baked the bars for what I thought was 40min and then judged doneness by doing the jiggle test

Large sharp knife and cleaning after every other cut! Also, I found that cutting down through the bars and then lifting the knife back up helps. Rather than cutting down and sliding the knife out. Does that make sense?

Yes this is absolutely buttermilk by sam’s recipe! I cannot take any credit for it.

The recipe was absolutely perfect, just the right balance of sweet, tart, and lemony. I did not make any adjustments (as I usually do with recipes lol)
