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

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…
