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 […]

Rocky Road Cake

Rocky Road ice cream is one of my favorites so when I saw this on Instagram I immediately added it to my baking list. I knew this would be a stretch because it involved a few things I’ve either never tried, or haven’t done very often. The actual baking of this cake was easy. Be […]

Carrot Layer Cake

I love carrot cake and I kept seeing people post their carrot cake recipes online and decided it was time to try one myself. The cake portion of the recipe wasn’t too difficult, though my ranking for time spent here is mainly because it took a while to grate about 3 cups of carrots. I […]

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

We recently celebrated several family birthdays and I wanted to try and make a Nothing Bundt Cake copycat. Almost all of the recipes used a box mix and I really wanted to try and do one from scratch so I ran found this recipe and decided to give it a try. This is a pretty […]

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 […]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bar

I love cinnamon toast crunch and saw this on Instagram and thought I’d use what I had left to make these cereal bars. This definitely is an easy recipe as you basically just heat the butter and marshmallows over heat, add vanilla, then pour that over the cereal. I kind of eyed the marshmallows and […]
