• 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 […]

• 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, […]

• red velvet cake for 2

  

  Red velvet cake will always be something I think of as a cake for large gatherings and celebrations, like weddings or birthdays. This is the smallest version of red velvet I’ve ever made! Even though I put “for 2” in the title, you can probably serve this to 4 people, comfortably. One of my earliest […]

• amaretto chocolate bundt cake

  

  Greetings! I hope you are doing fine. Such a surreal time we live in, huh? It’s hard to be enthused about cake, or even food in general when there is so much pain and suffering and anguish in the world. But here I am with another cake! If you need to snap out of it, […]

• 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 […]
