Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake
I had in my possession, for about 20 years the most amazing lemon bread recipe. It was from one of my mom’s old friends, Mrs. Bratnober. That woman could bake. Over the years, each time that I made this bread I fought all urges to eat the whole loaf myself without sharing any. However, I wasn’t raised by wolves, so I shared it with The Stud Muffin. My mother would be so proud. About a month ago I went to my recipe box to grab the card and make this so I could feature it during my week of “All things lemon“. I kid you not, I went through every single card in…

Hot Fudge Chocolate Cake
Finally! It’s here! I’ve been promising this cake for what, two, or three weeks now? Gah! You’ll have to forgive me for that. I normally don’t feature a recipe on my blog unless I’ve tested it several times. Unless of course, it’s just that amazing the first time around and I remember to write down all the components and measurements. If not, I make it a second time and get it on the blog as soon as possible. Other recipes take 3 or more attempts to get it just right. This recipe, however just did NOT want to be featured on the blog. Originally this was a Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Cake. Nowhere…

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Do you know what you’ll love about this post? It features cake. And, chocolate. And, chocolate cake. That is actually three things. Oh wait, it also features chocolate buttercream frosting. So that would be four things you’ll love about this post. I wanted to share this recipe back when I was doing my week of chocolate recipes in June, but for whatever reason I never got around to baking the cake. I’m not sure why. The important thing is that I decided to make one last cake before I pack all my baking dishes and supplies. I chose this cake because I promised it, and also because this cake is so rich and…

Chocolate Depression Cake in a Mug
We have 11 weeks until we pack up our entire home here in MN and move down to SC. I’m starting to panic. Just a little. I have to have a somewhat major surgery in a few weeks, I have a house to sell, I have a moving/garage sale to organize, there is packing and deep cleaning that still needs to be done and I’m starting to wonder if one 26 foot U-Haul is going to be enough to hold all our stuff. Because I have no idea if that U-Haul is going to hold everything, I decided to start using up as much of my pantry baking staples as I could so…

Chocolate Ho-Ho Cake- (Organic/GMO-Free)
On Christmas Eve my family gets together and everyone brings a dish to share. Each year I generally bring a dessert. Last year I went all out and made a 6 layer chocolate mousse cake with hazelnut japonaise drenched in a layer of ganache and chocolate shavings. It was decadence on a plate. This year I desired to do something much simpler, yet still really yummy. Enter the humble Ho-Ho. (That would be the snack cake Ho-Ho, not the street walking ho-ho.)
