• 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 […]

• mochi carrot cake

  

  For me it’s all about the rice flour substitute. If it was just regular flour, this would be a rather plain carrot cake. I usually like my carrot cake to be very moist, with pineapple chunks, walnuts, maybe even a little rum, and coconut flakes. I’m really glad I added the spices. I wasn’t going […]

• caramel cake

  

  This is a simple and straightforward cake you can make with store bought caramel if you’d like, but the caramel sauce recipe is fairly easy and straightforward too, and once you realize how easy it is to make, you’ll not want to use store bought caramel sauce again. You can also double the recipe and […]

• coffee black walnut pound cake

  

  Black walnuts. They really are an acquired taste. Not as popular as English walnuts, black walnuts can be a little spendy, unless you buy them still in their shells, but then their shells can stain your hands and are quite hard to crack open without at least a hammer. Plus, once you do manage to crack […]

• olive oil turmeric cake

  

  This is a simple straightforward recipe that I tried to needlessly make more complicated a few times, because that’s how I roll! Haha! But in so doing, I learned a few things, so there was value in making a few “test cakes”. They’re all wrapped up and frozen now, waiting to be repurposed. Most likely, […]

• 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, […]

• cookies and cream snack cake

  

  The thought had crossed my mind that from now on, I could just make this the Oreo cookies and cream blog, but that would get pretty boring after a few months. Haha! I guess I really like Oreo cookies though. Come to think of it, they are my favorite store bought cookie. I promise though […]

• banana rum cake

  

  Good Morning! Ben and I are celebrating one of our anniversaries! Today is the anniversary of the day we met, sixteen years ago! Crazy, huh? Even though we also have a wedding anniversary every June and usually do not have big celebrations with either, this one feels more special to us. I think because for […]
