I stopped into Batch, Pichet Ong’s P*Ong bakery follow-up on tenth street, and found some unusual treats last week. The least curious, but by no means dull, were two cupcakes. There was a Chocolate Devil’s Food variation, which was chocolate cake/chocolate frosting but surprised with a caramel layer within. There was also a Carrot/Salted Caramel delight in which the cake was carrot and the frosting was caramel with a salty sprinkle on top. It had a lime fill that gave the cupcake an extra thrill.
The other two goodies were shots in the dark that turned out to be successes. A passion fruit rice pudding was mellow and creamy while the Muscat grape crumb cake was spicy and sweet all at once. I found out later that the rice pudding was somehow dairy-free, which was perhaps the most remarkable thing of all!
