THE BEST Chocolate Cake

Ever! This is really the best, most moist, most rich, most chocolatiest cake I’ve ever made. I know there are other chocolate cakes out there that claim to be the best. Folks, let me tell you, I’ve tried them. And I can still assure you that this one, no really, THIS one…. Are you ready? Here’s your ingredients for the cake. You know what the best part about this cake is? All you do is dump everything except the chocolate chips into a very large bowl– A 4 qt bowl or larger is perfect, but be warned, one of those 8 cup mixing bowls is too small. Then stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips– pictured here are regular sized chocolate chips. Now, pour your batter into your cake pan of choice. I like to bake my cakes in two, 9-inch pie pans. Oh man… It’s so hard to not just rip into right now while it’s warm and fresh out of the oven… But wait! While it’s cooling, we’ll make The Best Buttercream Frosting Ever. Here are your ingredients for the frosting. The Best Chocolate Cake Ever

Cherry Cake with Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting I am always on the look out for recipes using cherry pie filling. Last summer I canned some sour cherries for the first time and have quite a few jars left of the homemade cherry pie filling I made. I have always loved cherries, ever since I was a kid. Whether it was fresh sweet cherries straight from the bag or cherry pie desserts, didn’t matter to me. So when I found this cherry cake recipe I knew I had to try it. I found the original recipe on Cheryl’s site, TidyMom. This has a marvelous cherry and almond flavor, absolutely delicious! Cherry Cake with Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting adapted from Sweetheart Cherry Cake printable version 1 box white cake mix 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 (21 oz) can homemade cherry pie filling (or canned), divided Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Measure 1/3 cup of cherry pie filling and set aside to use in frosting. Pour batter into pan, and level with a spatula. Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting NEW!

Nutella Mug Cake | Family Kitchen - StumbleUpon Bring Your Child's Favorite Characters to Life with These Disney-Themed Lunches Healthy Mickey-Shaped PB&J Muffins: A Breakfast the Whole Family with Love A Yummy Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe Even the Pickiest Eaters Will Love This 3-Ingredient Coffee Fudge Is the Best Morning Pick-Me-Up Ice Cream Cake If you’ve been following along, you’re probably aware that I collect cookbooks. Specifically, cookbooks created by New England civic organizations between 1950 and 1980 for fundraising purposes. With yard sale season in full swing, I find myself solvent with new recipe ideas, among them one I found in this vandalized and water-damaged collection. The picture on the cover somewhat suggests the architecture of Calvary Baptist Church in Easthampton, but I bought the book in Millbury and it has no date (I’ve never been to that Church, I just tried to do some due diligence in my googling). And hey, no cake flour or fancy measuring required, because we’re using cake mix. I let my ice cream soften by scooping it up into small chunks and letting it sit a few minutes. The recipe calls for greasing & flouring a tube pan. After 4 minutes of beating, the batter kinda just looks like . . . well, melted ice cream. She was right. Preheat oven to 350o.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes New Photo from my cookbook “Your Cup of Cake” The Story: Whenever I see cinnamon sugar, I tend to laugh at myself a little bit.

Zebra Cake | The Whimsical Cupcake Animal prints is something I never really got behind. It was something that I only saw on 75 year old blue-haired ladies that are way cooler than me or on kids who looked like walking cheetahs. Not really the look I go for. Lately everywhere I look, there’s something with some form of animal print on it and I find myself liking it. Ok, not EVERYTHING but a few pieces here and there. I can probably attest some of this animal print tolerance to my sister, she’s so stylish sometimes that it kills me. ;) I’m not sure what kind of demographic I reach out there in internet land, animal print lovers or haters, but I’m sure your love or hatred won’t apply to this cake. I said it. This is a simple cake needs no pillowy frostings, no fancy ganaches, and no whippy creams. Zebra CakeAdapted from King Arthur Flour Yields one 9″ or 8″ round cake Ingredients: Directions: 1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2) In the bowl of your mixer, blend the sugar and eggs until lightened, about 2 minutes.

Slutty Brownies - StumbleUpon Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. Cover this layer with your Oreos. Mix up your brownie batter. & pour over your Oreos. Bake for 30mins.

Oreo Cupcakes They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried. A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and cream cheese. foodsnots.com

Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bottom Cheesecake Brownie Crust: 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch Springform pan with butter. 2. 3. 4. Cheesecake Filling: 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. [I had extra batter that I put in a smaller Springform pan at this point] 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Cheesecake tip: to get the cake off the bottom of the Springform pan, because most crusts have butter in them, you just need to heat up the bottom of the pan a bit and the cake should come off easily. 17. 18. 19. 20.

Strawberries and Cream Mug Cake After seeing Angie’s mug cakes I’ve become obsessed with making them. I’ve been a bit gung-ho with anything strawberry flavored lately so, after mastering several chocolate mug cakes, I decided to try and make a strawberries and cream mug cake.

Strawberries & Cream Mug Cake Adapted from Stacy Miller 1 egg 2 tablespoons strawberry yogurt, well stirred 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream for serving 1. 2. 3.
