Cherry Cake
I had some leftover cherries I wanted to use up so I searched the internet looking for something I could make and found this recipe. It looked very easy and also looked like something I could half since I didn’t quite have enough cherries for some of the other recipes I saw. The batter itself…

Cookie Dough Cupcakes
This was a request as I had someone mention they loved cookie dough and asked if it was possible to do some kind of baked goodie with cookie dough. I did a little research and found this recipe from Boston Girl Bakes. It’s not just egg you have to be careful of with eating raw…

Death by Chocolate Cake
This is one of those recipes where nothing is technically hard, but it definitely takes some time. You’re making cake layers, a syrup, a big batch of buttercream, and then pressing tiny chocolate chips into the side; it’s not difficult just a bit of a process. Let’s start with the cake: moist, rich, dark chocolate layers that…

Shamrock Shake Cupcakes
So I made these cupcakes without realizing the recipe was written for high altitude—and I really should’ve paid more attention to that. I kind of assumed it wouldn’t make that big of a difference, but… yeah, it definitely did. The cupcakes came out pretty dense, didn’t rise much, and had this sort of chewy texture that you…

Classic Birthday Cake
I love a good yellow cake with chocolate frosting and decided to try out this recipe for a family gathering. You may notice I often use recipes from some of the same people and while I try to branch out a little it’s also nice to have some go-to people who I know are reputable…

Intensement Chocolat
I’ve wanted to make this recipe for a while but honestly it’s been a little intimidating. Not just because there are about 5 different things you have to make for this, but also time wise. Also it’s french and those recipes can be a little…. errr… fussy. Nevertheless, the time came for me to try…

Strawberry Charlotte Cake
I have been wanting to make one of these for a while but was a little intimidated. It looks super fancy, but despite the assembly it was actually fairly easy. I did make my own ladyfingers and I was a little nervous about this particular recipe since it was a one-bowl recipe that uses whole…

Orange Butter Cake
Another fun Downtown Abbey bake and honestly felt way fancier than the effort required. I made these mini upside-down orange cakes, and they looked (and smelled) like something you’d serve at a tea party, but the recipe was super straightforward. You start by prepping your ramekins and lining the bottoms with brown sugar, melted butter,…

Yogurt Cake
This is another bake I almost made the last time I did the Baking Through the Alphabet series and thankfully I had it saved. I had actually heard about this cake first in the Bringing Up Bebe book as it’s mentioned as something french mothers teach their kids to make early. I love that idea…

Upside Down Cake
This is one of those recipes that feels like a common one and yet this is the first time I’ve ever made an upside cake. Traditionally, it’s made with pineapple rings, but I liked that this recipe used different fruits. Starting off, I melted the butter and brown sugar together in the cast iron skillet,…
