Lumberjack cake Frances

Pink lady apple, medjool dates, maple-walnut ice cream, powdered sugar. $8
Frances, San Francisco

This sinfully dense cake was SO fickin’ good! It had a beautiful dark and rich color and it was bursting with yummy fruits which helped to keep the cake very moist. The ice cream scoop almost looks fake in the photo. I love the texture of it in the pic – it still looks super cool! Amazing flavors all around in this great dessert!

Omg, this was the third time I’ve had these and they STILL knock my socks off! I’m SO in love with these beignets! I have to order them every time I eat at Frances. They’re very light and fluffy, but the amount of flavor that they pack into these things is absolutely mind-boggling! I’d go back just for some wine and a bowl of these lovely treats.

This decadent donut is studded with bacon and apples sauteed in bacon fat.  It’s topped with a maple glaze and more crispy bacon.

I first read about this sinful morsel while scouring the SF food blogs and instantly knew that I should try one!  It’s the perfect combination of savory and sweet.  The bacon bits add a great flavor and texture to a donut that would be overly sweet from the apples and generous maple glaze.  The dough itself is light and airy, and the donut simply melts in your mouth.  I’ve tried other flavors at Dynamo, but this remains a favorite!

The Philharmonic coffee from Philz Coffee tastes great with this donut. Actually, Philz coffee tastes great with anything! Lol.

I’m in love with their French crullers, especially the chocolate glazed ones. They are so light and airy, and the soft, custardy dough is absolutely divine.
