Cakes
Chocolate + cherry = unique + good, but maybe not for everyone. You either like it or you don’t. If you don’t like it, move on to something more boring like my most excellent Classic Shortbread Cookie. If you do like the combo, then read on, partner. There used to be a chocolate candy with […]

These are almost too freaking cute to eat, but I’m sure you’ll get over it and down a few anyways. What the heck- down a dozen- they’re mini cupcakes, for God’s sake! Okay, so there are some people that go all crazy for the combo of raspberry and chocolate. (If it’s not for you, don’t abandon […]

Oh, blueberries. I am almost as obsessed with blueberries as I am with sugar and Sauvignon Blanc. (As separate obsessions- not sugar mixed into the wine, duh. Although that does give me an idea for a dessert, not a lot unlike the Icewine Sabayon I made a while ago, but I digress. I am supposed […]

This cake doesn’t even need an introduction, because: a) it’s entirely obvious it’s the most colossally incredible cake you will ever come across, and b) by making you read silly things like words I am wasting the precious time you could be using to START BAKING THIS MASTERPIECE. (Yes, I do mean to be yelling […]

Fair warning: I have extolled the virtues of simplicity time and time again, and I’m going to wax on about it again in this post. So if you’re not up for a soliloquy on the beauty of a simple thing like vanilla cake with vanilla icing, skip to this post on the Fudgy Orange Brownie […]

Bigger isn’t always better. When it comes to dessert. (As long as you can have more of the “good things come in small packages” dessert in question, that is.) Take these little cakes, for example. Although weensie (made in your mini muffin pan, and therefore ready before you know it- a huge plus in the […]

This cake will keep you coming back for more, and it’s not just because it’s baked into a sunflower shape (although gimmicky shapes are enticing, aren’t they?). This cake will grab you because it’s stunningly simple and pure. Lemon and vanilla are classics, and neither one tries to one-up the other in this recipe. They […]

Any time you take a cake made with a particularly sweet kind of chocolate (which is really all that “German’s chocolate” is, a sweet chocolate made by some American guy with the last name of German… it’s not a “German” thing, like sausage or beer or Volkswagens), and layer an absolute mountain-full of coconutty-pecanny caramelly […]

So I’ve been reading about this cake for a few years now, and always knew I’d get to it. Really- how enticing is a chocolate cake with a tunnel of fudge literally running through it? Enticing. Very enticing indeed. A few months ago when trying to pass the horribleness of cardio time at the […]

The Twinkie people have created quite the sensation as of late. Apparently all you have to do is threaten that you’re going to go out of business, and everyone in the universe will hoard your products- which in the case of Hostess is just fine because the products never expire (or at least they don’t […]

Holy sh*#. (Oops, maybe I shouldn’t swear, given that this is a post about angels and all.) But seriously- holy crap. Imagine a cake that’s pretty and springy and fluffy and fragrant and tasty and fat free. No, you’re not dreaming. That’s the thing about angel food cake- it’s all of the above, and almost […]

Don’t worry if you’re confused. The name says it’s a pudding, but the picture looks an awful lot like a cake, doesn’t it? Here’s the dealio: A pudding is basically a goopy, sticky cake. (I’m so sold already. Like in this particular pudding- the toffee sauce is poured into holes poked into the cake while […]

Do you like cakes that are moist, dense and rich? Do you like peanut butter? Does the idea of a peanut butter frosting sound like a good reason to be alive to you? If you answered yes, yes, yes, yes and yes, then keep reading. If you don’t like moist, dense, rich cakes with peanut […]

Yes, you can make a pumpkin dessert in January. Don’t get all caught up the whole “can’t wear white after Labor Day” garbage in the kitchen— screw the fact that Halloween has long-since passed, and that Thanksgiving was a little bit of a long time ago (oh dear, remember Pumpkin Pie (2 Ways!) with Spiced Whipped […]

Is this Rocky Road Brownie concoction a pie or a cake? Or just a massive brownie with a crapload of fantastic chocolate candy on top? I don’t think I’m asking the right questions. The real questions are: Why haven’t I made this before? And… How was I able to live my life without this dessert […]

Here’s the beauty of this recipe: Chocolate. Espresso. Cream (cheese). I told you it was a beautiful thing. And the fact that it’s stuffed into a cupcake just makes it that much more irresistible. (I didn’t even add sugar to that list, and you were hooked, weren’t you?) (More on the cake: it’s significant and […]

I am smitten by this cake. And if I am, then you will be too. Trust me. Take a rich, chocolatey cake… add coffee (which in itself is a recipe for a spectacular success- one needs to go no further, technically)… add chocolate chips (the mini ones, for a bit of chocolate-crazed texture)… and then […]

These cupcakes are dedicated to my sister, who has a serious thing for chocolate cake. (Cupcakes count, too, although she’s not necessarily into the whole cupcake rage thing- she’s just into chocolate cake. What a purist. Gotta love it.) It’s Robin’s birthday today, so these chocolate goodies are dedicated to her… I just wish I […]
