Dessert for Grown-ups

A chocolate cake with a bit of red wine sounds great, doesn't it?


What if it was then soaked in sweetened red wine?


And then glazed with red currant jelly?


And topped with whipped cream and kumquats?


I don't know how to put into words how delicious it turns out.


And the rest of the class is jealous.


To make sure the next dessert is just as awe-inspiring, start with lemon confit.


Pile on doughnuts filled with mascarpone and kumquat filling and coated with citrus sugar. Serve with a cup of coffee rimmed with citrus sugar.


Once again, you have earned the envy of others.
