Claire Saffitz is back on our show! Claire is a beloved baker, dessert authority, and the author of two New York Times bestselling cookbooks—Dessert Person and What’s For Dessert. She also hosts the hit YouTube show, “Dessert Person.” Today, Claire walks host Jessie Sheehan through her Molten Chocolate Olive Oil Cake recipe from What’s For Dessert. It’s a decadent dessert that’s deceptively simple. She explains why she uses olive oil instead of butter in the batter and how to get the center perfectly molten. She also tells Jessie about the baked goods she ate and baked growing up, her mom’s recipe collection, her love for Martha Stewart’s Pies & Tarts book, and how the “Claire Recreates” series came to be.
