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…

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…

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…

soy sauce chocolate cake
This may not be all that shocking for some, but for me it totally blew my mind. (Aside from the current state of our country and the world, of course.) The worst thing that could happen if you make this is that I was totally wrong, and that I’m just not a good judge of…

wartime chocolate cake
The decision to make this came about rather quickly. Ben wanted me to make something simple for joint birthday celebration. He suggested a simple no frills cake, and I wanted something simple with chocolate. A quick online search showed me recipes that were concocted during the depression era and WWII, times when people’s cupboards were…

buckwheat chocolate cherry muffins
How are you doing? It’s Summertime in the Pacific Northwest! Which means fresh cherries, and my favorite combo–Chocolate and Cherry! And a buckwheat experiment. And still have a few more cups of buckwheat, so stay tuned. I think the last time I had buckwheat was in the form of cold buckwheat soba noodles served with a…
