Gluten-free Vanilla Cupcakes
I’ve made chocolate gluten-free cupcakes before, but never vanilla. This was a great recipe too because you mix everything for the cupcakes in one bowl! This recipe doesn’t take long and since you do everything in one bowl it’s super easy to make. You whisk all of your dry ingredients together, make a little well […]

Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
For my final coffee cake recipe for this month I decided to try this Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake. I don’t think I’ve made coffee cake in a loaf pan before but I’m not sure why because that seems super fun and makes it easier to serve (in my humble opinion). I made the […]

German Chocolate Cupcakes
I’m not normally a fan of german chocolate cake, merely because I don’t love coconut. It’s more of a texture thing rather than taste because I made this Speckled Malted Coconut Cake last year and liked it, but I don’t love strands of coconut in most baked goods. German chocolate fit the theme of a […]

Salted Dulce de Leche Cupcakes
I follow Pies & Tacos on Instagram and it’s always fun to see the different macaroons and cupcakes showcased. I’ve been wanting to play around with Dulce de Leche but was still a little nervous about cooking it on the stove so I used the Oven Dulce de Leche recipe for this particular cupcake recipe. […]

Mini Strawberry Cheesecake
Sometimes making a whole cheesecake can be daunting. I wanted to make a strawberry cheesecake for a friend who was graduating, but honestly didn’t have the time to bake a full-size cheesecake since the one I made last year took what felt like forever to bake. I mean, it was delicious and looked beautiful but […]

Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
It’s national peanut butter day! In honor of the day I made some peanut butter frosting to put on my chocolate cupcakes. You’re probably about to lose some respect for me here but I should just go ahead and let you know that I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate. I’ll eat […]

Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes
I think I’ve mentioned this before but I really struggle with gluten free baking. Maybe some of it has been the recipes I’ve used, but trying to determine when something is done can be difficult in my opinion. It’s definitely gotten a little easier over the last few years but I’ve also been lucky to […]

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 11: King Cake
Before I begin talking about the recipe I feel like I should give a disclaimer. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat king cake before Epiphany (Jan 6) because it’ll bring you bad luck. I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I […]

Magic Flan Cake
I really wanted to have this posted before Halloween since this dessert is called “Magic Flan Cake,” but I didn’t get a chance to make it last week. This recipe is a lot of fun because you put the cake batter mixture and flan mixture swap places during the baking process. You can read more […]
