Pecan Pie Cake. Ok people, you've been warned!

Pecan Pie Cake

This cake will make a grown man drop to his knees, birds will sing, and your children will ask you to let them wash the dishes. I'm tellin' you, this cake is good enough to make you sass your grandma (and we all know you won't get away with that without some serious discipline from your mama, right?) I found this in an older Southern Living, and so glad I did!

Lemon-Lime Sugar Cookie Truffles…

I know I’ve definitely made my fair share of all kinds. And that’s exactly what these are- more ‘dessert balls’. But these are oh-so much better than the run-of-the-mill Oreo truffles or cake balls! You all know how Oreo truffles work- crushed up Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate coating. These are essentially the same thing, except made with freshly baked sugar cookies and the zest and juice of lemon and lime. Lemon-Lime Sugar Cookie Truffles 1 batch of sugar cookie dough (I used a store-bought mix, but you can use any recipe you like!) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. When cookies are cooled, using your hands, remove from the dish and crumble into the bowl of a stand mixer or food processor (small chunks are fine).

Maple Roasted Bananas with Cinnamon Whipped Cream

It started with pancakes, gravitated towards desserts, and found its way to savory foods (maple syrup is just fantastic on asparagus). But today we aren't talking about pancakes or savory foods. We are talking desserts. And this one is certainly a doozie. When I set out to make these maple roasted bananas, I had no idea of the surprises in store for me. The fire alarm forced me to stop my experiment. My bananas turned out perfectly despite this. The cinnamon whipped cream keeps the sugar in check, so it is not overwhelming.

Red Velvet Brownies - freutcake

I burnt a batch of caramel, ruined shortbread and my pizza dough was a disaster. What was happening? Why did my favorite past time turn on me? …Sunday night rolled around and I felt the need to redeem myself with one last recipe for Red Velvet Cream Cheese brownies. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer and made a batch.

I was just introduced to the southern delicacy that is Chocolate Cola cake (aka coca-cola cake) while visiting Charleston, SC early this spring.

THE Chocolate Cola cake

It was a spiritual experience. It is all that is good and that I hold dear. I’d marry it if I wasn’t already married… seriously. amazing stuff. I loved the piece I had (pictured above) at Jestine’s so much, that I bought and carried a small one home (via airplanes and much hassle) to my husband to share so he could know the glory of it. then I scoured the internet for a good recipe… but none seemed right. Then I was using my home-made binder ‘o recipes from various magazines over the years and I discovered that years ago I cut out a recipe for this very cake… and the recipe listed looked exactly like the cake I wanted to replicate.

Naturally, when we had our first BBQ of the season I simply HAD to make one. Preheat oven to 350, and grease up (I like Crisco) a 9×13 (or so) pan. now take off heat and add that to the flour mix & whisk until combined.
