These are the latest in my pie bar series, and Mike's favorite! That says a lot, considering how much he loves chocolate. These are so springy and fresh, and of course, really simple to prepare. Enjoy!

What happens when you put a rich, moist chocolate cake in the fridge? It turns into a solid slab of pure awesomeness, is what! This started out as River Cottage’s “easy rich chocolate cake,” but adding cream meant it needed kept in the fridge. And that’s where the magic happened...

This is a super belated post of a cake I made for Easter. Bust aside from the little nest on top, it could really be for an occasion. I made this one for my partner's family to chow down on after our Easter lunch.

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell just as sweet.

Call it whatever you like. If you love sweet (or caramel, streusel, cinnamon, and ice cream, for that matter) look no further! You'll want a slice of this--and the best part is that it's insanely easy to throw ( Read more... )

Last week was my sister's 21st birthday. After giving it some thought she asked me to make her the simplest cake known to man: a chocolate ripple cake. Known to some of you instead as an ice box or zebra cake, they are simply made up of biscuits sandwiched with cream. Typically they're stacked end-to-end to make a log cake.

Well, me being me, I ( Read more... )
