• chocolate yogurt cake

  

  I may have finally cracked the code! I may have gotten the right balance and proportion of ingredients for chocolate cake in a loaf pan! Finally! I think not adding too much cocoa is key, as well as not adding too much liquid. Too much cocoa may be drying, and too much liquid may end […]

• mississippi mud pie

  

  This is not a difficult recipe, it’s just a little time consuming, because you do need to give each layer adequate time to set and get firmer before adding the next layer. If you did not wait to let it set, you may get messy results. After looking at a bunch of different recipes online, […]

• pear hazelnut and chocolate muffins

  

  Just a simple muffin recipe to showcase the wonderful combination of pear, hazelnuts, and chocolate! Feel free to use larger chocolate chips. I can’t even remember what I made last that necessitated buying a bag of these mini chocolate chips, but I think they work very well here; the smaller chips get distributed more evenly […]

• chocolate raspberry layer cake

  

  Truth be told, the three layer mini cake I made a few weeks ago on my IG was just a practice cake! This is the cake I really wanted to make, I just didn’t have the sardine tins yet! I love the oval shaped aluminum cans sardines are often packed in, but we almost never […]

• double chocolate muffins

  

  There is something deeply enjoyable to me about getting up early in the morning, like around 5AM, to have coffee with my cat. He and I will hang out in the kitchen, listen to NPR and I will look at recipes online, and then I’ll do a quick check of available ingredients in the pantry […]

• chocolate cherry loaf cake

  

  Is it a food blogging faux pas to post two chocolate cake recipes back to back? The last one had oat bran and wasn’t a loaf cake, so does it not count? This one is something that feels Christmassy to me, for some reason, although I was really going to something for Valentine’s Day. It’s […]

• healthier chocolate cake

  

  This chocolate cake has a few unusual things about it: There is a fair amount of oat bran in it. It also uses two apples that you puree with some molasses and coffee first. Lastly, there are a few healthier substitutions that keep it from being too decadent: whole wheat flour instead of cake flour, […]

• ginger peanut butter cookies dipped in chocolate

  

  If you don’t like ginger, you can leave it out, but I happen to think ginger goes well with chocolate and also goes well with the peanut butter and, of course, peanut butter goes well with chocolate. In other words, all these ingredients go well together in perfect harmony! (Why can’t we? 😉 ) ginger […]

• Australia’s most-loved chocolate brownies

  

  Lately, I’ve been really noticing the various plants and trees in my neighborhood that have chocolate colored leaves. I don’t know why, but it really fascinates me! One such plant/shrub that is quite common in the Pacific Northwest, is called Japanese barberry. This is just a small snip of a branch from a fairly large […]
