Gluten Free Lemon Coconut Yogurt Snack Cake

Whole Grain Calzones with BroccoLeaf
Whole Grain Calzones with BroccoLeaf You are probably asking, what is BroccoLeaf? We didn’t know either until the Foxy vegetable folks brought it to our attention. It is a new non-GMO vegetable that is hitting the shelves that can be used in a similar way to kale or spinach. It is, indeed, the leaves of […]
Millionaire Shortbread
Millionaire Shortbread with a Hit of Salt Is Millionaire Shortbread a cookie or candy? It has the best of both worlds combining a buttery shortbread base, a chewy caramel center and a chocolate topping. It is one of those recipes I have been aware of for quite a while and it was high time we took […]

Rum Raisin Roulade with Whipped Chocolate Ganache
Rich & Rummy This cake takes the form of a log shaped cake filled with rich chocolate whipped cream and dark rum soaked raisins rolled up inside in a spiral fashion.

Just Like the Classic Chocolate Cupcake Description: Just like the commercially prepared ones (ahem, Hostess Cupcakes we are looking at you) with the similar name, these start with chocolate cake which is filled with a creamy vanilla filling. A chocolate glaze goes on top, which is decorated with white frosting squiggles. If you want to […]
The Best Three-Ingredient Cookies aka Peanut Butter Cookies
The Easiest and Best Peanut Butter Cookies OK so I didn’t make this recipe up. It is all over the place in various guises and I have to say, it is a brilliant recipe. How can you not love a three-ingredient recipe that happens to use standard pantry ingredients, comes together in mere seconds – […]
Nutella Ganache Rice Krispie Treats
Nutella in Rice Krispie Treats Ah, Nutella, how many new ways will we think to use you? Hopefully many! While playing with the concept of adding peanut butter to classic Rice Krispie treats (see the Tips in our Cappuccino Crispy Treats recipe), it occurred to us to try Nutella. Many of our cereal treats are […]
Frozen Peanut Butter Honey Cheesecake with Warm Chocolate Honey Sauce
Fabulous Do-Ahead Frozen Peanut Butter Cheesecake When my very good friend Pam Rys was turning 50, I asked her husband what flavors she might like in a cake. His answer was “she likes chocolate, peanut butter and sweeter is better”! I also happened to know she likes cheesecake and as they are beekeepers, I thought […]
Apricot Almond Tea Ring
A Classic Yeast Based Coffee Cake If I see almond paste included in a recipe I simply have to try it. It’s a funny thing too, because as a child anything that resembled marzipan was just plain weird to me. Now I cannot get enough of the fragrant almond flavor and the moist texture it […]
Matcha Cake with Raspberries
Matcha For Baking This Matcha Cake with Raspberries was one of those ideas that came to my mind fully formed as a visual as I was thinking about something new and elegant but also colorful for the Easter holiday. I added matcha, powdered green tea, to meringue to add color as well as temper the […]
German Chocolate Cake
Classic German Chocolate Cake While researching my Birthday Cake Book, I spoke with several people who said no birthday would be complete without this cake.

Marble Pound Cake
A Breakfast and Snack Classic – Marble Pound Cake The visual impact of a Marble Pound Cake is further fortified by the fabulous taste – a combo of rich, buttery vanilla flavored cake marbled with a cocoa enhanced batter. Perhaps we should call this a pound-style cake as it has a bit of leavener added, which varies from […]

Cacao Nib Meringues
Giant Meringues with Cacao Nibs and Cocoa The first time I saw Giant Meringues was way back in the 1970s in Paris. I knew what meringue cookies were, but these gargantuan orbs bore no resemblance to what I was used to. The Parisian ones were baked to a soft off-white, almost beige, which brought out […]
Mocha Chip Bundt Cake
Bundt Cake Rich with Chocolate and Coffee A Bundt shaped cake always entices. Something about the silhouette with its ridges and curves shouts, “I’m ready for guests”!
