Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Rich and dense with deep nutty chocolate flavor, this Chocolate Hazelnut Cake looks like it came from a bakery. But you won’t believe how easy it is to make at home!
Did you know that September is the biggest birthday month of year?
I had no idea until just recently! But with my birthday on September 30 (shout-out to my fellow Libras!), I thought this was pretty interesting.…
This Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe is moist and rich with a deep chocolate flavor; you’d never guess it has 3 whole zucchinis! When I was dreaming up this cake I had a decadent chocolate cake in mind. Something really indulgent…sinful, even....
This paleo Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe has rich chocolaty flavor and great texture! It’s saved me when I just want a little something sweet that’s fast without eating junk food. Like I mentioned when I told you about my Chocolate Cupcakes for Two, I’m kind-of particular about my cake. (As Mike likes to tell me, I’m kind-of particular about a lot of food-related stuff, but that remains to be proven and is an entirely different discussion for another day.) Anyway. I don’t think there is anything more disappointing than seeing an absolutely stunning cake and then sinking your teeth into what you think will be […]...
Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting for Two are moist with a buttery vanilla flavor and are perfect for when you need just a little something sweet! Celebrations in general and weddings in particular call for cake. It’s just one of those unwritten laws of the universe. But sometimes just a random Tuesday calls for cupcakes too. Or maybe it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s just you and your sweetie ringing in the New Year at home....
This Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe features bursts of sweet/tart blueberries in a rich, yet fluffy buttery vanilla cake. Earlier this summer my mom came down to Florida to visit. When mom comes into town, there are two things that I typically do: 1) Deep clean things that I typically overlook (like outside windows and inside closets). 2) Take stock of what’s in my fridge/freezer/pantry, and what homemade treats I want to have on hand....
Gingerbread Snack Cake with Earl Grey Glaze is full of Christmas-y flavor and is the perfect thing to accompany a steaming cup of holiday tea. Closing my eyes and tipping my head back slightly, I inhale deeply. I smell a crispness in the air; faintly woodsmoke, pine trees, and a richly spiced sweet aroma. At that my eyes pop open and a longing for gingerbread hits me; I know it won’t be long before one graces my kitchen. That was two weeks ago, and I couldn’t hold out any longer. And anyway, I’ve been working on perfecting my gingerbread recipe since last winter, and it’s high time […]...
Chai-Spiced Spaghetti Squash (or Pumpkin) Crumble-Topped Loaf Cake is moist and dense and full of warm spices. Sometimes the best things in life come about by accident (recipes included!). Or at least out of a desire to use what we have on hand, like this bread....
This dense, moist, and sticky sweet Gluten-Free Coconut Almond Flour Cake is subtly scented with rose water (or vanilla, if you prefer). It was inspired by the Middle Eastern Cake Harissa, Basbousa, or Namoura. If it snowed where you live over the weekend, I hope you stayed safe and warm and had the chance to enjoy the snow. Or at least bake something delicious! Mike and I are in DC and we’ve been hunkered down since Friday enjoying the snow. This weekend we had our second snowfall, which was actually a doozy: winter storm Jonas! Being from Buffalo, I am in my element. Although we […]...
Gluten-Free Cherry Almond Cake with Rosemary Vanilla Bean Buttercream makes a lovely winter cake that’s fit for a simple wedding, or simply dessert for a family supper. Note that this post is not sponsored in any way, nor is it affiliated with Downton Abbey! It is dedicated to Downton fans, as well as all fans of cake. Does that just about cover everyone? ;) Love in many forms comes and goes, a fact of life that we’ve seen over and over again in Downton Abbey. There’s been a lot of heartbreak on this show; Sybil and Tom Branson, Edith and Michael Gregson, Mary and Matthew, […]...
These Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes are sweetly aromatic and soft-textured; from start-to-finish they’ll be ready in just an hour, and it’s perfect if you want just a small batch of something sweet. This time of year has the tendency to get so busy. With Thanksgiving over, our focus turns to Christmas and all the preparation that goes along with it. But a moment of peace, however brief, is a most welcome retreat in December. Even if it’s just taking an hour to make these cupcakes and then enjoying one with a cup of tea. I can’t think of anything more comforting than the smell of something sweet […]...
