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…

Millionaire Bars
I was intrigued when I saw America’s Test Kitchen make this recipe on their YouTube channel so I thought it would be fun to try and it was supposed to be similar to a Twix so that sounded good. This recipe is easy, but takes a little time just because there are layers. First you…

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…

Chocolate Turtle Cake
I’m a big fan of chocolate turtles (Where. Are. The. Turtles???) so this recipe obviously appealed to me. It’s a little time consuming just because there are a few parts, but nothing too difficult. You’re going to start off by making the chocolate layer cakes. This is a very standard cake recipe so easy to…

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…

Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This recipe reminded me of a Kentucky Derby Pie (one of my favorites!) so I knew I wanted to try it. This recipe is a little time consuming to keep that in mind. First you’ll want to brown the pecans. We only have whole pecans so we had to chop those and then brown them.…

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…

Peanut Butter Banana Icebox Pie
I am not normally a peanut butter dessert fan, but I’ve been trying to find banana recipes so this one fit the bill. The crust is easy to make as it’s just crushed graham crackers, crushed honey roasted peanuts, and melted butter. I like the just crush my graham crackers in the sleeve so it’s…

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream
I’ve really been enjoying ice cream making and thought I’d finish the month out with a classic: chocolate ice cream! This was another fairly easy recipe once you get used to tempering the eggs. You just mix together the cocoa powder and half and half and once it’s thoroughly mixed you’ll add the rest of…
