Black Magic Cake. Originally I had not planned on blogging this cake, but after the rave reviews from co-workers, I figured it was a must!

Black Magic Cake

I made this late Sunday evening and could not get around to photographing it because the ganache had not thoroughly set up before I went to bed. The next morning, it was boxed up and taken to feed the co-workers. I managed to cut one reserve piece before I dashed out of house, just in case it needed to be photographed. Typically when I make cakes, I like to post a photo of the whole cake and then a piece of the sliced cake; however, my snooze hitting ways did not allow me to do this today. However, this cake was so good I had to post it despite the absent photographs. I was introduced to this cake via a cooking/baking forum; it was receiving rave reviews, so of course I had to hop on the bandwagon and give it a try.

Apparently the coffee is used to bring out the flavor of the chocolate – making it more prominent as opposed to flat and one dimensional. Peanut Butter Blondie Snack Cake. Today we ate lunch at McDonald's.

Ugh! We know, we know. We feel terrible about it! The second we polished off the (scrumptious) cheeseburger we became wracked with guilt! It was just one of those days when nothing seemed to be going right and the taste temptation of the hot, salty french fries (let's face it, the best fast food french fries around) was just too much for our downtrodden stomachs to bear. Whatever. However, in typical female fashion, since the day went to diet hell in a handbasket, we figured, why not pack it all in?

So, we decided to make the recipe that's been sitting in our to-do list for awhile, the Peanut Butter Brownies from the fabulous Karly at Buns in My Oven. Chocolate Valentino. There is nothing like a flourless chocolate cake.

 They are, quite literally, the easiest dessert to make in the wold.  This recipe has three ingredients (ok, I snuck in about a half cup of extra sugar, so four ingredients) and comes together in about 10 minutes.  It looks mouth-watering, tasted incredibly indulgent, and would make a great Valentine’s Day dessert, a little late.  But if any of you have an anniversary or birthday coming up, this is the cake for you. Like my last flourless chocolate cake, it was mushy and delicious straight out of the oven, but needed to cool for a bit before it set. But, um, who on earth is going to complain about that? I am baker. Chocolate Guinness Cake with Irish Cream Caramel Sauce. Crispy Coconut + Chocolate Ganache Tart.

If you love to make chocolate dipped macaroons, think of this as a snappy new format and a fresh take on the same flavors and textures. This tart is slightly adapted from a recipe in Martha Stewart’s new Pies & Tarts. I am lovin’ the way this new book reminds me to revisit old forgotten faves, update a few which are overdue and help round out my basic foundation of knowledge about pies and tarts – and it’s been a welcome refresher on the doughs I use less frequently such as pâte sablée and cream cheese pie dough. This renewed inspiration comes just in time for summer. When winging it on a Saturday morning at our farmers market becomes the most simple and sublime pleasure… and when it yields fresh ingredients that sing all on their own or with which to fill my various pastry vessels.

Chocolate Pudding Dump Cake

Slow Cooker Gooey Chocolate Cake. I’m meeting a new friend for lunch today. And an old friend for line-dancing tonight. And I’m feeling rather spoiled about it all. I mean, moms shouldn’t have TWO social events on the calendar for the same day, should we? Which brings me to the point of what moms should be doing anyway. For a long time, I measured myself by what I remember of my own mom. The odd thing is, I’ve now reached the age in my life where I am exactly as old as she was. Such is the fate of all moms. And I realized then that everyday is really a bit like living in an imaginary world. Because, ancient people don’t do lunch with new friends. And they definitely don’t join in a on rousing night session of line-dancing with old friends.

They don’t make oatmeal in the morning in bare feet and spandex shorts. Fourteen for the Fourteenth. Fourteen Layer Cake.

chocolate chip coffee cake recipe

Well, either it’s got coffee in it (this one doesn’t, but looking back, it would be a great idea. however i do have an upcoming recipe that contains coffee – prepare yourselves, it’s amazing), or, it’s just a cake that you eat with coffee, probably with breakfast or brunch. it’s usually spiced with cinnamon (check) and got a sort of streusel (check). except this one is chock full of chocolate chips (A LOT of chocolate chips). the cake itself come out super light and fluffy and it couldn’t be simpler to make. this is a great cake to slice up into bite sized pieces for a brunch, or you could do what i do – get a giant glass of milk, a few forks and dig right into the pan. chocolate chip coffee cake another recipe handed down from my mom, who’s made this more times than i can remember. 1. mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips. 2. cream butter, 1 cup white sugar, and eggs. add the sour cream, vanilla and water.
