mikasa ackerman x eren jaeger (eremika) — nsfw-leaning

twelve times eren gave mikasa a sweet treat

eren started baking as a hobby. at first it was an activity he shared with his mum, learning generational recipes and expert advice. but carla often chastised the poor boy for loose pours and inaccurate weights, and eren decided he preferred baking alone.

when he finally told mikasa and armin about his new passion, the quiet pretty girl said she’d love to try some, act like a taste-tester for the curious baker.

the hold her words had on his heart and mind were borderline embarrassing. eren spent the entire night searching through his mum’s recipe books and dog-earring sweets he thought mikasa might like, recounted everything he knew of her to decipher her favorites.

the simple stuff had to be first: cookies. the recipe was plain, a simple vanilla sugar cookie, but eren was confident—the only type he’d ever seen her pick from a tray while spoiled for choice.

as eren handed her the plate the next day, he second-guessed if maybe he should’ve decorated them, whipped up some icing and laced each biscuit with some dressage. he considered it all night—ultimately decided it definitely would be worse if he overwrought her sweet tooth, and left the icing for a future letter.

the lick of her lips after each bite caught and held eren’s attention. each crumb delicious enough to warrant its emergence. he felt himself holding his breath before she spoke, “i’m excited to try the next goodie,” with a pristine grin, her tongue still poking out.

the second recipe was a coffee streusel brownie, one gifted from mikasa’s mother for a holiday gathering. after two batches and a lifetime with ingredients on a scale, eren packed the product into a glass tupperware and dreamt of her tongue all night.

“hey, miks.” eren had a hearty smile, carried the brownies so elegantly. when he handed her the container, the way her lips pressed into an o at the dessert etched permanently into his brain.

he watched her take a bite, felt hot with his gaze fixed on her biting into the brownie, felt the restrictive hold over his chest as he intimately watched her mouth welcome the treat, noticed the way it sat so perfectly on her pink tongue. he swiped his tongue along his teeth, wanted to bite into her skin the way her pearly teeth sank into the treat.

she exclaimed in delight, covered her mouth with her palm to eren’s dismay, “eren! this is delicious!” her smile was unreal. “mum, dad, you have to try this!”

the third and fourth recipes were inspired by her fast approaching birthday. with armin planning a bash for the ages, eren was tasked with baking her cake. due to annie’s strong dislike of chocolate and armin’s strong like of annie, the party cake was designated a basic three-layer vanilla sponge cake. the text received a virtual and literal eye roll. armin was too amenable.

eren was less so, and opted to bake mikasa’s favorite cake instead: triple chocolate fudge cake. it was her birthday after all. while it was in the oven, melting chocolate coating his apron and decorating his arms, the guilt set in and eren started mixing the sponge cake too.

after spending hours stenciling birthday messages and test-writing in icing, when armin told him to hurry up, eren topped the sponge with a lavender message and prepared it for the party.

before she could eat the slice gifted by armin, eren pulled her to the side. “it’s not much, but.” he was nervous, his voice matching the shakiness of his hands as he held the chocolate cake. “happy birthday, miks.”

the love struck boy surprised her with the next dessert: red velvet cupcakes, buttercream frosting. it was under the guise of her mother’s birthday, but in reality eren was trying to see her.

he’d had a vision the entire time, of her biting into the cupcake, of the creamy frosting settling around her mouth and nose, of her licking her lips clean. eren debated putting some frosting on his neck, wondered if maybe she’d lick that spotless too.

the eager bounce of his cock against his restraining jeans once he witnessed her remove buttercream from her finger with a whimsy wrap of her tongue was rewarding enough. the sight provided a top tier memory reserve; a quick recall for when he was alone.

not much of a treat, but a sourdough dinner roll was perfectly suited for armin’s italian pasta night. eren spent two days preparing the best starter and dough for the occasion. the excitement on mikasa’s face when the rolls were unveiled paired better than the oils and dips.

the seventh treat earned a moan. one bite into the fluffy, airy croissant and a hearty, “m’oh, this is good,” eased out, matched with a delectable smile. she held the remaining croissant between delicate fingers, and eren watched with dilated pupils as she tilted her head back and closed her eyes.

with her neck on blatant display, eren’s mouth watered and he felt every tendon and ligament holding his muscles back, preventing himself from pouncing on her, caging his mouth from relentlessly exploring the soft flesh.

“eren,” her tone was questioning and soothing, the pronunciation of his name haunting the sound off anyone else’s lips, “do you remember those cookies you made? months and months ago?” he swallowed despite the dryness in his throat, couldn’t bring himself to vocalize his remembrance. “you should make those again.”

she never gave him a timeline, so eren assigned one himself. the next day. he was too excited to sleep. spent the whole night thinking of the crumbs sleeping on her thin bottom lip, wanted to be at the tip of her tongue when she evicted the remnants.

despite the drowsiness, he skipped the whole trail to her home. each sprite step furthering his gait, excitement and anticipation at seeing the beauty unraveling his stomach, eating away at the lining.

with her fingertips pristinely holding a sugar cookie, the other hand gently rubbing eren’s upper arm, she requested another baked good. “not to be your boss or anything,” she prefaced with a joke, poked the dimple as it appeared on his cheek, “but i would love if you made donuts.”

“sourdough?” the question was immediate. his brain already racing through previously-scanned pages of recipe books for an idea. anything she wanted of him, he’ll do. her giggle stretched his smile to both ears. he could feel the lighter wind around them.

there was more thought in dessert preparation this time. with armin’s birthday approaching and eren’s dislike of baking cake, donuts became the perfect alternative. eren shaped them into letters instead, small makeshift happy armin’s b-day donuts, with the leftovers molded into an m.

the donuts were a hit at the party, and eren waited until him and mikasa were alone to show her the remaining dough. “it’s an m… for mikasa,” he explained lamely, gesturing awkwardly, “for you.”

his torso was captured between her strong arms, hands clasping at his back to keep him in place. the warmth radiating onto his front, the gentle waft of lavender from her hair, the hollowness of her cheek against the rigid muscles of his shoulder.

“what else can i bake for you?” the words tickled her ear, the goosebumps prickling the nerves to life. she glanced up at him, pulled away slightly so she could really look at him. eren thought of kissing her.

she hummed, swayed lightly side to side, “hm, whatever your favorite treat is.” her raised eyebrows made her eyes seem rounder, more open to interpretation, more open to him. the sparkles in her grey irises were wanting, yearning flames. “i have a feeling i’ll like whatever you bake.”

he should’ve kissed her. but he closed his eyes, rested his chin on her forehead instead, her scent flooded his lungs, held it in until the organs were on fire, exhaled so slowly as to not disturb the thin, whimsical strands of black hair.

did he have a favorite treat? it’s been a while, but carla’s blueberry muffins—those were definitely his favorites.

once armin and mikasa arrived, the three of them dug into the muffins before even starting the movie. “ooph—eren!” mikasa moaned with a covered open smile, reached for his arm, “so good.” eren stretched his arm closer, tried to extend the duration of contact.

“yeah, ren, seriously,” armin muffled out through a full mouth, “you’re improving a lot.” eren blushed when he noticed mikasa’s unbreaking eye contact, still held firm on him even after he glanced to armin. “you should try baking savory pies too. beef and ale pie would be delicious.”

mikasa shaped her lips into a circle. “oo, good idea.” she pointed to their blond friend, then clapped her palms together. “next movie night.”

eren tapped his finger against the counter, invisibly pulled to mikasa’s hand inches away, like a magnet withheld from its faithful opposition. the smirk was small, like it was kept to himself, and he was already considering what dessert would pair well with her smile, what cookie crumb would cause her tongue to creep out.

the beef and ale pie was a hit, the leftovers eagerly eaten up by a starved carla and grisha after a fun night out. the crust was mikasa’s favorite part, even hand-feeding the baker part of her crust, her fingertips lingering on the tip of his tongue.

the action replayed in eren’s nightly dreams, and joined with the sensation of him in her arms, with the visual of licking buttercream off her lip—eren was reaching a limit he didn’t know he had, a boiling in a kettle he didn’t realize was on.

like a runner crossing a finish line, eren beat a personal record in inviting her over, to taste the lemon tart he baked during the lame afternoon and potentially start something new. something exciting.

“hey, eren,” mikasa greeted first, slipping her arms under his arms, around his waist, before eren could even close the door. eren hesitantly returned her hold, took even breaths to calm his formula one racing heart. eren wondered if she could hear his uneven heart beat, his stuttering breaths.

“thanks for coming.” the words were muffled by her hair, the temptation of a faint kiss to her hairline bordering irresistible. “i made a lemon tart.” his voice was foreign to his own ears, strained and focused, held back with a shrouded intent. “but i was thinking you could help me decide what to make next.”

she slipped her jacket off, exposed her tight, green long-sleeve shirt. the same dark green that she told eren he looked good in, the color that made his eyes pop.

“i already have a starter going, so i can make anything.” eren put his apron back on, tied it around his waist and pulled the sourdough starter out of the fridge. “so, really, it’s up to what you would you want to eat.”

“is this the tart?” her finger was pointing to the yellow dessert, where the whipped cream was starting to sink inside from being added prematurely. eren answered, and her finger swiped in the middle, popping it right into her mouth with a sweet hum. a sight for the ages. “delicious.”

the pink on his cheeks was pristine, and mikasa adored how no matter how many compliments she supplied him, he reacted as smitten and coyly as the first. eager to please, thrilled to know he has.

“do cinnamon buns sound okay?” the question caught her off guard, brought her out of her adoring trance. admiring eren was easy. finding herself lost in the admiration was easier. “i have a whole recipe book if you want something else. totally easy to change.” he was rambling, adjusting to projected unspoken objections. the flipping of the pages provided him adequate background noise. “so many recipes. like it’s so easy to pick something els—”

mikasa’s hand covered his, rubbed her thumb against the coarse skin. rough from regular handwashing between bakes and less regular moisturizing. “cinnamon buns sound great,” she murmured, “but i’d like to help you.” she stood up off the stool. eren immediately pictured her licking rogue frosting off her finger, off him. “can i have an apron too?”

Desserts don’t get much better than chocolate babka, but most recipes for this beloved Jewish bake call for all-purpose flour — not helpful if you’re a celiac or don’t eat gluten. So I came up with this gluten-free babka recipe, which is just as sweet, gooey and indulgent as the original. Plus, this recipe can easily be made dairy-free, too, using your vegan butter and dairy-free milk of choice. 

It may well be the chocolatiest chocolate babka recipe around. First, you have a moist chocolate filling, which you can customize to make as sweet as you like. Then, the babka is sprinkled with chocolate chips before baking. Once the babka is baked, the final touch is a melted chocolate drizzle. 

If you’re feeling extra-indulgent, along with the chocolate chips, you can also top your babka with my simple and very useful crumb topping before baking. It adds an extra layer of texture and enhances the appearance of your baked goods — I use it for everything from babka to coffee cake, fruit crisps and muffins. Store the streusel topping in an airtight container in the freezer and use it as needed. Or, if you have any leftover gluten-free cookies or cake lying around, you can grind them into crumbs and top the babka with those crumbs instead.

Notes: 

This recipe yields two chocolate babkas. You can bake them in loaf pans or roll them up into a cylinder and bake in round pans for something a little different. 

I’d recommend using Blends by Orly Manhattan Blend Pastry Flour (made with millet and sorghum) or Blends by Orly Tuscany Blend Bread Flour for this recipe.

You can either freeze the whole babka or preslice it and freeze it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. After the babka is defrosted, I recommend wrapping in foil and heating in the oven, or you can heat individual slices in the microwave.

Cinnamon muffins (3 recipes I've been meaning to try)

"I've cleaned up everything, as per the agreement." he quickly said as he walked past Lillian towards the door.  "There is breakfast for you also -  cinnamon muffins -  in the oven.  Just take them out once the timer goes off."

Black Sesame Creme Brulee

"I think," Chandler said, beaming as he continued chattering on as the food tour continued.  "I'm really going to take you down to Cha-An for that black sesame creme brûlée I promised you.  It just melts in your mouth and is completely divine.”

French macaron

 "French macarons might do the trick.  I know they won't be as delicious as any you make, but hey, it'll be great to give them a try.  If you'd like, we can make fun of their inferior quality - to your own, too." Chandler looked hopeful.

Mille Fuille and Kouigan Amann

Kurt blushed under his friend's praise.  He looked at Adam,  whose eyes twinkled as he grinned back.  “Well, Kurt, then let me thank you.  I have to say your mille feuille and kouigan amann - the classic and the chocolate - were both exquisite. The texture, the flavor. . . it was all just outstanding.  I'll definitely be including them in my review.”

Kurt would so make the puff pastry for the above from scratch so . .

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of this story . . I'm working on Chapter 22 - I promise . . 😊

Zupfkuchen (German chocolate cheesecake)

(Serves 8-12. Adapted from this recipe.)

150g AP flour

50g cocoa powder

100g cornstarch

4 teaspoons baking powder

240g powdered sugar

100g dark chocolate (at least 80% cacao)

280g cold butter, cubed

2 eggs, beaten

140g powdered sugar

3 large eggs

500g quark (kesam)

60g melted butter

1 pinch salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or the seeds from one vanilla bean

20g cornstarch

175ml heavy cream

1) Whisk or sift together the flour, cocoa, 100g cornstarch, baking powder, and 240g powdered sugar.

2) Finely grate the chocolate and stir into the dry mixture.

3) Toss the butter cubes in the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, work in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Work quickly to avoid melting the butter and chocolate!

4) Stir in the 2 eggs and mix only until the mixture is barely moistened. Chill for at least an hour, or overnight.

5) Preheat the oven to 150C/300F. Take a 26cm/10” springform pan and use a scant half of the chocolate mixture to line the bottom and 3/4 up the sides of the pan. Use your fingers to press the dough firmly into a smooth, even lining. Reserve over half the chocolate mixture.

6) Whisk together the eggs and 140g powdered sugar until smooth and a little foamy. Stir in the quark, then stir in the melted butter, salt, and vanilla. Sprinkle the 20g cornstarch on top and mix until totally smooth.

7) In a separate bowl, whisk the cream with electric beaters until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream gently but completely into the mixture. Pour into the chocolate crust.

8) Gently crumble the remaining chocolate dough into streusel-like crumbs of small to medium size. Lightly sprinkle half or so of the chocolate atop the cream mixture to form a solid “crust”.

(Note: you will have leftover chocolate dough. You can roll or press it out and bake to make tasty chocolate cookies.)

9) Bake for 60 minutes or so. The cake should slightly jiggle in the center, but it should not be liquid or wobbly. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Marshmallow Cheesecake

Based on the recipe from Desserts in Duvets by SortedFoods

Recipe Base 150g Oreos 45g unsalted butter

Streusel Mix 50g roasted hazelnuts* 50g digestive biscuits** 50g brown sugar 25g flour 60g unsalted butter chilled

Cheesecake 250g dark chocolate 25g unsalted butter 100 mL double cream*** 2 tbsp sugar 250g cream cheese

Meringue***** 2 large egg whites 150g sugar 1 vanilla pod****

In a big ziplock bag, crush the oreos into a fine crumb. Combine with melted butter and pack into the bottom of (4) 4" diameter springform pans. Let the base set in the refrigerator.

In another ziplock bag, crush the roasted hazelnuts* and biscuits** into a fine crumb and combine it with the sugar and the flour. With the chilled cubed butter, rub the butter into the mixture until it is a crumb. Freeze this for 10 minutes and then bake in an oven at 350F for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Allow this mixture to cool before layering on top of the base.

Melt the butter and the chocolate and mix together. In another bowl, mix the cream, sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Then add in the chocolate mixture and mix until uniformly combined and smooth. Pour over the streusel mix and set in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Put the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl and mix over a bowl of simmering water until eggs are warm and sugar has been dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk until meringue is formed. Top on the cheesecake while you preheat your broiler. Use the broiler in the oven to toast the meringue. Be careful to not melt the cheesecake.

*I used toasted walnuts instead of hazelnuts **I used graham crackers instead of digestive biscuits ***I used heavy cream instead of double cream ****I did not use a vanilla pod or vanilla. *****I made a french meringue instead so without the simmering water, since I was in a rush. I think the sugar did not dissolve as much in the meringue.

Cake.  Birthday cake. Homemade Birthday cake with homemade ice cream.

Roomie’s birthday was yesterday, so I baked his Gemini ass a cake.

Chocolate-chip Sour-cream Yellow Cake with Special Dark Cocoa Cream Cheese Frosting, with Homemade Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream.

None of it incredibly difficult, but boy howdy, does it deliver Bang-For-Buck.

No brag, just facts.

Yeah, yeah, recipe.  The cake recipe is my Go-To Three-Egg Sour Cream Cake.  Instead of cinnamon-streusel, the “middle” layer is a dense layer of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, followed by more cake atop.  The frosting was something I kinda winged it on and hit it right.  And the Ice Cream is the same recipe I’ve posted before, which I’ll copy/pasta after I get it all formatted.  I make it by memory now, so gimme a little while to finish writing it down and I’ll edit this post to add.
