But fortunately, you need no special occasion to make this delicious, celebratory, kid-friendly, and deeply nostalgic confetti cake.

EP2 Claire Saffitz Makes Malted "Forever" Brownies Feb 11, 2021

Claire Saffitz Makes Malted "Forever" Brownies | Dessert Person. Allow us to get philosophical for a minute: brownies contain multitudes. Is there a more metamorphic recipe out there? Brownie recipes can be cakey, chewy, light, dense, fudgy, tender, shiny, matte, bitter, sweet, thin, thick -- and yet, they’re all brownies. Claire's favorite brownie is chocolatey but not too intense brownies with multiple textures, but chewiness above all. Enter, Claire's recipe for Malted Forever Brownies -- so good, it’s pretty much the only one she plans on making until the end of time. Check out the video for all Claire's tips on making the best brownies, which, unfortunately, includes chilling at the end! You won’t regret the extra step.

EP5 Claire Makes St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake ft. Jo Firestone Mar 04, 2021

Claire Saffitz Makes St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake | Dessert Person. One of Claire’s favorite desserts from childhood is, Gooey Butter Cake, a St. Louis tradition unlike any other cake. While most recipes call for a box cake mix, Claire takes it back to its German origins as a yeasted coffee cake base with a buttery, gooey, vanilla-scented topping. THEN, Claire puts fellow STL-native, longtime friend, and comedian extraordinaire Jo Firestone to the taste test while the two settle old Gooey Butter Cake beefs.

EP6 Claire Saffitz Makes Homemade Vanilla Extract Mar 11, 2021

Claire Saffitz Makes Homemade Vanilla Extract | Dessert Person. With a flavor and aroma like nothing else, vanilla is the one ingredient Claire can’t live without. It’s a tropical product that requires intense labor to harvest and ferment, making it both precious and pricey. In this episode, Claire shows you how to make the most of whole beans, from extracting the seeds to making your own vanilla extract. It’s a simple process but will ensure that no part of the splurge-worthy ingredients goes to waste.

After much testing, this is her ideal sticky bun, a soft, nutty, maple-y swirl scented with cardamom and orange zest. Claire thinks it’s a whole lot better than a giant, overly sweet Cinnabon cinnamon roll, although — ahem — some family members disagree. It’s a family affair this episode!

EP8 Claire Saffitz Makes Meyer Lemon Tart Mar 25, 2021

Claire Saffitz Makes Meyer Lemon Tart | Dessert Person Spring is around the corner, but if you need a pick-me-up in dessert form, look no further than this sunny, zingy, Meyer lemon tart with a hidden ribbon of raspberry jam. It’s one thing Claire loves to make in winter, using the gift of Meyer lemons, but is even more classic if made with regular lemons all year round. Be warned, it’s very tart, but that’s how lemon desserts should be!
