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…

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,…

The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake
I love cake and while a layer cake is my personal favorite a nice sheet cake is a close second.

You always want to be careful when melting chocolate to ensure it doesn’t get too hot and seize.…

Pumpkin Espresso Bundt Cake
While bundt cakes can be a little intimidating because there’s a risk the cake might stick to the sides, I love making bundt cakes. They’re generally pretty easy but it’s still cake and therefore delicious. While this recipe has a few extra steps it’s still easy and you start by mixing the pumpkin, eggs, oil,…

Opera Cake
I’ve been a little nervous about this recipe because it’s quite time consuming and there are lots of areas you could mess something up. However, it’s gorgeous and delicious so worth the time and effort. While you should always read through a recipe before starting this is one that you probably want to read through…

Nutella Cake
I like Nutella, but hadn’t tried it in dessert before so this felt like a good place to start. Plus it’s a pretty impressive looking cake so good if you need a fancy dessert for a crowd. The cake is pretty standard, you just mix your dry ingredients together, cream the butter and sugar, and…

Lemon Drizzle Cake
I love the lemon loaf at Starbucks and am always looking for recipes that get close to theirs. My aunt gave me the Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea cookbook so I thought it would be fun to try their recipe. This is a simple recipe, you just mix together all of the dry ingredients and then…

Iced Coffee Icebox Cake
I’ve only had a few complete fails over the years and this was definitely one of them. This looked like a fun recipe and besides taking a full 24 hours to set up, it also looked pretty easy. You start off by making the cookies and that’s pretty simple. Mix together all of your dry…
