Our love of bacon extends beyond nostalgic breakfast memories. Imagine our excitement when David Lebovitz announced in our cooking class that we would be making a savory Bleu Cheese and Bacon Cake! Bacon and cake. From the man that brought you Candied Bacon Ice Cream. And to think, my husband wasn’t very excited about the class 🙂

Within minutes of popping the cake into the oven, the smell of warm bacon had wafted to our table. Each slice is bursting with a range of salty and savory flavors and is even better the second day. Serve it as an appetizer or as an after-work snack with a glass of Pinot Grigio.

Next to the Lemon Madeleines, it was our favorite treat from our educational and tasty trip to the great grocery mecca that is Central Market.
