Hot Buttered Soft Pretzels
Soft pretzels are so good; especially with a nice beer cheese or German mustard. We’ve got a few restaurants near us we specifically go to when we’re in the mood for a good pretzel. We made soft pretzels a few years ago so we decided to try a new recipe this time. This particular recipe…

(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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Irish Soda Bread
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Usually I’d bake some kind of fun dessert but I ran across this recipe for Irish Soda Bread and decided to give it a try. Spoiler alert: this is the easiest bread recipe ever. Well, I take that back, these Cream Biscuits are also super easy. Basically all you do is…

Small-batch Maple Scones
A few years ago I tried Baking Mischief’s Apple Hand Pies, and they quickly became one of my favorite things to make in the fall. So when I ran across this recipe for Maple Scones from them as well I knew I needed to give it a try. As mentioned in the recipe, the scone…

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…
