Eclairs
I made eclairs a few years ago and they didn’t quite turn out. We had some friends over who wanted to learn how to make them so he and my husband had a little tutorial. While I didn’t actually make the eclairs pictured I “oversaw” the whole process to ensure quality control (😉) and making…

Toasted Pecan Cake
I’m not sure how I ran across this recipe, but I love pecans and it looked simple and easy so I thought I’d give it a try. If you’re making your own pecan flour (i.e. toasting the pecans and then grinding) this recipe is going to take a little longer. I don’t keep pecan flour…

Chocolate Swiss Roll
I have never been good at making jellyroll cakes, but figured I should try a few more just to see if it gets better. First up on the list, this Chocolate Swiss Roll cake! The cake takes a few steps starting with melting the chocolate, oil, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt. I don’t really have…

Mint Chocolate Cake
I realize mint isn’t necessarily the first thing you think of when St. Patrick’s Day comes to mind, but mint is green and I had this on my list of things to bake so we’re going with it. This cake is pretty easy to make, especially since you’re only making one layer. I was a…

Mirror Glaze Dark Chocolate Cheesecake
I thought this was the first time I had made a chocolate cheesecake, but apparently I made this one a little over a year ago. I’m not sure where I first saw this recipe, but it looked stunning so I’ve just been waiting for the right time to make this. This recipe isn’t difficult, just…

Nanaimo Bars
I first heard (and tasted!) a Nanaimo bar while in Canada, which is fitting since that is where they originated. This no-bake bar is named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. They’re super rich and delicious! I’ve actually made them once before, but I couldn’t remember the recipe I used so I found this…

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…

Dairy Free Chocolate Cake
My colleague recommended this dairy free chocolate cake so I decided to give it a try. The actual cake recipe is super easy and honestly one of the best chocolate cake recipes I’ve made in a long time. I also love that it’s enough for 3 layers which is great too! For the vegan buttermilk…

Hot Cocoa Cake
I posted the recipe for Hot Chocolate Macarons yesterday and as promised I wanted to post part two of my themed dessert baking for this week. I saw the recipe for this Hot Cocoa Cake “The Perfect Cake” recipe book from America’s Test Kitchen and it looked so fun! I hadn’t planned on making it…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 10: Bûche de Noël
This recipe was actually on the schedule for earlier in this challenge but I knew this was a beast of a project and honestly after some of the bread recipes I needed a break so I just kept pushing it back. But here it is… the day has arrived. I started this process yesterday by…
