Chocolate-Rum Swiss Roll. Chocolate-Covered OREO Cookie Cake recipe. New Post: Red Velvet Better Than Sex Cake. I decided to rename this cake. The original blogger had called it a “poke” cake. Yes… that’s technically what it is, but it’s much more heavenly than that. As a result, it gets a new name. One of my all-time favorite cakes is the classic Better than Sex cake.

You know, the ooey, gooey chocolate and caramel concoction. This red velvet version is equally decadent and worthy of its new name. Keep in mind, I have a blog called “No Thanks to Cake”… Most people read that as I must be anti-cake and I must say NO to cake all the time. I also think that it’s important to point out that I lightened up this cake significantly by preparing it a little bit different than the original recipe prescribed. Doesn’t look like it to me…. Original Recipe by The Country Cook via Pinterest Serves 18 1 box Red Velvet Cake mix 1 can Diet Coke 2 pkg. 4 cups skim milk 1 tub Cool-Whip (Lite or Fat Free), thawed 10 oreos or 2-3 packs of Oreo 100 Calorie Packs 1. 2. Measuring out half of the cake mix for my 1/2 a cake. 3. Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake. Well here it is my friends. The wonderful cake I was telling you about, that was baking in my CROCKPOT!

I know there are many, many awesome things you can do in a crockpot, but I seriously had never heard of baking cakes in them!

Chocolate Stout Cake With Porter Ganache.

I’m going to start this post by telling you that I am biased. That being said and out of the way: The West Coast of the United States has the best beer in the world. At least, it has the highest concentration of fantastic craft breweries. I used two old favorites for this post. Black Butte Porter, from Descutes Brewery and Chocolate Stout from one of my favorites Breweries, Bison. Of course there are other fantastic beers all over the world, and all over this fantastic beer loving country of ours, but the West Coast is like a Mecca. Now if someone will just organize a Beer Tour, we can all take 6 months out of our lives to travel up and down the Pacific Coast and drink ourselves silly with incredible craft beer.

Chocolate Stout Cake with Beer Brown Sugar Butter Cream Filling & Porter Ganache Chocolate Stout Cake with Beer Brown Sugar Butter Cream Filling & Porter Ganache Ingredients For the Cake: For The Filling (Buttercream): For The Ganache: Directions Cake: Preheat the oven to 350. Filling: Lemon Pilsner Cake. If you have ever had the opportunity to talk to a brewmaster, you have seen it. You’ve seen that look that lets you know that there is an art and a respect for what they do that goes far past what most Americans experience at their day jobs. The look that tells you that the paycheck isn’t the reason he does the job. The flavors, the journey, the solving of the problems that yield to an end result of a drinkable, shareable masterpiece. You’ve seen that look. It’s because of that look that I try to create recipes that respect the years of love and hard work that go into the process of making Craft Beer.

I had the idea of making a lemon cake with pilsner, but the issue is always the hops. Lemon Pilsner Cake 1 1/2 cups cake flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/3 tsp salt 2 tbs lemon zest 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 1/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup Pilsner Icing: 4 oz cream cheese, softened (cold cream cheese will result in lumpy icing) 1/4 cup heavy cream.

Chocolate Porter Beer Tart With Porter Whipped Cream. The creaminess of chocolate pairs so well with a well crafted porter. For this tart I used Firestone Walker Reserve Porter, it has the perfect balance of flavors for this recipe with notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel and a touch of a citrus taste. You also want to use a really well made chocolate, because, like beer, craft chocolate has well developed flavors that can’t be matched by the “Macro” chocolatiers.

I used Sharffen Berger 62% Semi Sweet chocolate for the perfect balance of richness and sweetness. I’m a sucker for a well made dark beer, and this recipe pairs well with the cold bottle of Porter. I also made a porter whipped cream, with a rich smooth sweetness and notes of dark beer, you’ll want to eat this right out of the mixing bowl. Chocolate Porter Beer Tart For the crust: 1 cup crushed chocolate wafer cookies or chocolate graham crackers (NOT chocolate covered) 1 tbs brown sugar 3 tbs melted butter For the filling: 1 1/2 (12 tbs) sticks of butter 1/2 cup heavy cream. Saison Caramelized Pineapple Beer Shortcakes. Beer people are so often missunderstood and stereotyped. Don’t mistake our inherent low maintenance for a lack of opinion. Don’t think that our love of indulgence translates to a lack of self-control. Just because we have a adoration for a high calorie beverage, doesn’t mean that we aren’t concerned with healthy living. And our love for a good ole fashion dive bar doesn’t tarnish out Mensa standings.

And as much as we would love for you to understand exactly why we drive 20 minutes out of our way on Friday afternoon to make sure that we have an exciting stash of Craft Beer for the weekend, we also want you to drink what you want. If you love wine, or whiskey, or even a famous Macro brew, that’s ok. And if everyone else in the world stopped drinking Lost Abbey Carnevale Ale, or if it became so fervently distributed to every home in America that it was dubbed the new King of Beers and the Beer Snobs decided it was no longer desirable, it wouldn’t matter one bit. For the Beer Shortcakes:

Chocolate Porter Strawberry Shortcakes With Beer Whipped Cream. (Chocolate Porter Strawberry Shortcakes With Beer Whipped Cream) I’m taking a huge risk here. You may have taken one look at this post and decided that I’ve lost my magic. Chocolate beer cake is as common as Nascar sweatpants in Walmart. But unlike motor sports fashion blunders in public, I loved this dessert. I’m combining a past evoking childhood treat with my beer loving present tense self, and topping it with beer whipped cream. Strawberry shortcakes were one of my favorite desserts as a kid, but growing up I never had them from scratch. I was raised in a very prepackaged, frozen food section, shelf-stable house, with a mom who was trying to feed all of her 8 daughters (yes, that isn’t a typo, I have 7 sisters) with no time for any culinary adventure beyond reheating and assembling.

Making my childhood memory of strawberry shortcakes those pre-packaged round sponge cakes, with Cool Whip and chopped strawberries. So this is the “I cook from scratch and add beer” version of that. 5 eggs. Ultimate S’More Anniversary Cake. On Monday we celebrated 7 years of marriage. That’s something to celebrate. We’ve grown A LOT in these 7 years! See, when we went through pre-marriage counseling our counselors told us something we will NEVER forget: “You two are the 2 most opposite people we have EVER seen in our 25 years of marriage counseling experience.

Good luck” I was a whopping 20 years old at the time and thought ‘whatever, I laugh in the face of a challenge.’ Stupid, stupid stupid. He’s a night owl, I like to get up at 4 am. Just to give you a few examples… But 7 years later I can say, with confidence, every ounce of effort has been worth it. My Bae, you mean the world to me, I love you with all my heart. And to celebrate, I made cake. 7 years means I need to make a 7 layer cake? Here’s what you’ll need for this cake: 2 brownie layers 2 cheesecake layers 2 chocolate chip cookie layers 5 graham crackers (this is one of the ‘cake’ layers) 1 recipe for marshmallow frosting 1 recipe for chocolate Frosting 1. 2. 3. 4.

Magical Frosting. Dashing Dish™ Ice Cream Birthday Cake. I have been making this ice cream birthday cake for years now for every member of my family!

Lisa's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe. Banana Split Surprise Cake. This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Kraft. Banana Split Surprise Cake ~ Get your eating pants on; this is a fork-to-mouth, plate-clearing addiction! This three-story cake has two layers of banana flavored cake with a surprise cheesecake-centered layer dressed up with a funfetti effect. Caught between those layers is a light banana cream frosting, and finishing it off (like a traditional banana split) is chocolate drizzling, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.

Banana Split Surprise Cake As a self-taught baker sometimes concept to reality can be a complete bust; others times things come out as expected. This Banana Split Cake fell somewhere between the latter two, depending on who in my group of friends you poll. I wanted to create something worthy enough to be featured alongside the other recipes in the RWOP recipe community. A few notes: Advance preparation: The frosting can be made up to five days in advance and refrigerated, then brought to room temperature for frosting. Chocolate Oreo Cream Cake. Last week it was my hubby’s birthday and on his birthday I always have a chocolate cake for him. He absolutely loves chocolate cake. Knowing me, I can’t just make a regular old cake, right? So I was initially thinking of making one of his favorites, Chocolate Cream Cake from the Lion House cookbook. That was my plan.

Then I came across a recipe for an oreo cake from Kraft. My hubby also LOVES oreos. It turned out to be absolutely delicious and my hubby was a happy man.

Clementine Cake. This may be the world’s easiest cake to make—and one that never fails to elicit oohs, ahs, and recipe requests.

It’s a moist and luscious dessert, bursting with bright citrus. This darling Clementine cake uses a mere five ingredients, and its lack of flour makes it a perfect treat for the gluten-wary. Not only is this cake supreme in its simplicity, it keeps well and in fact tastes even better the next day.
