Hidden Heart Loaf Cake
I’ve always thought recipes that have something hidden on the inside were fun looking. My husband did a checkerboard cake once but I don’t think I’ve ever tried something like this myself. It’s not really difficult to make either of the cakes. I did have to look up “butter spread” though because while I suspected…

(Super Easy) Flourless Chocolate Cake
I made a flourless chocolate cake a few years ago and decided it was time to try another recipe. As the recipe name implies, it’s super easy; which is great! We generally use Ghirardelli’s chocolate and did use the 70% as recommended. I’m sure 60% would be fine too but I don’t know that I’d…

Espresso Cupcakes
I think I saw these on Instagram and saved them away for the perfect time to try them. I’ll just jump straight in to the recipe comments here as it’s pretty simple. The original recipe has more of a yellow cake/vanilla base; however there’s an option in the recipe to do a Mocha version. We…

Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
I had too many fun fall bakes I wanted to make this month so I decided to post a little more often this month. My grandfather really likes apple cakes so I thought it would be fun to try this Apple Spice Cake. I’ll start off by saying I did half the recipe and felt…

Cinnamon Sugar Donut Cake
What’s better than a donut? Maybe a donut cake?? Thought this might be a fun way to end my summer cake series. Bundt cakes are pretty easy; though I was a little worried about this one since I normally spray my bundt pans rather than butter/flour them. I can’t tell you the last time I…

Chocolate Cheesecake
I know I’m in the middle of a cake series and this might be a little too outside the box, but the word cake is in the title so I think it counts. Plus it’s a nice little break from typical cake. Cheesecake is great, but it’s often finicky and the water bath can be…

Baked Alaska
I’ve been wanting to try Baked Alaska for ages, plus who doesn’t want to use a cooking torch?? I opted to use a Test Kitchen recipe since I feel like a lot of people said this was fairly difficult and they’re good at testing different kinds of ingredients/methods to find the perfect recipe. The cake…

Cheerwine Chocolate Cake
I grew up eating Coca-Cola Cake so when I ran across this recipe for Cheerwine Chocolate Cake I thought it would be fun to try it and see what difference there was (if any) in taste. This is a super simple cake and perfect if you need to take a cake somewhere since you make…

That Chocolate Cake
Someone on Instagram posted this cake recently and since my husband loves chocolate cake (especially ones with ganache icing), I knew I had to add it to my “to bake” list. I wasn’t able to find Scharffen Berger cocoa or unsweetened chocolate in our grocery stores so I had to purchase it online. The cake…

Lemon Cake
Every once in a while I really get in the mood to have a nice slice of lemon cake. I’ve made lemon pound cake or bundt cakes before but never a layer cake. I think I ran across this recipe on Instagram so I added to my “to bake” list. The cake is fairly easy…
