Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting is a southern staple for good reason, it’s freaking amazing! Here’s my super easy, incredibly delicious recipe.
Cake
Kit Kat Cake
Everyone loves a Kit Kat bar, especially Bo. We saw a little Kit Kat Cake in the grocery store that he wanted, and I told him I could do WAY better than that. Here it is: super moist chocolate cake with a fudge filling and a smooth, delicious buttercream frosting. And lots (AND LOTS) of…
Bakery Style Oreo Cake
Our Sophie, now four, has always been a girl who knows what she wants. What she wanted for her birthday was a table FULL of different cakes. The first one she asked for was an Oreo cake. I mean, how can you possibly argue with that, who doesn’t love Oreos. She’s seen and drooled over…
Salted Caramel Cake
I have been dying to perfect this salted caramel cake ever since we had it at our friends wedding (I think around 5 or 6 years ago, holy crap!). I don’t even think we waited until the wedding was over to hound the bride and groom for the name of the bakery, and obviously we…
Hazelnut Cream Cake
Four thin, airy layers of hazelnut torte are sandwiched between billowy, lightly sweetened whipped cream. One of the easiest cakes you can make, and it will have everyone thinking you bought it at a bakery.
Bakery Style Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
Once upon a time, not so long ago (like, last weekend) my cousin threw a welcome party for my adorable new little niece (Hi Addison!!!). At this incredible party (you know, the kind with table after table of delicious food, and absolutely every little detail in the house matching. Like, she swapped out photos in frames…
Mint Chocolate Cupcakes
Saturday morning I woke up in need of chocolate. Like, it’s the only thing I could think about. Screw getting anything done around the house, laundry could wait, that dust ball in the corner was still going to be there tomorrow, but the level of chocolate craving hangry (so hungry you’re angry) was going to…
Gingerbread Cake
Christmas is right around the corner (surprise, because I’m sure you hadn’t noticed all the in-your-faceness that attacks you everywhere you go). I’m starting to experiment with a few different types of desserts, because I get to have Christmas Dinner for the family at our house this year (WOO HOO!!!!). I probably won’t be nearly as…
Bakewell Tart
Nothing looks as pretty as a tart sitting out on the table. Those fluted edges do all the work for you, making it look like you REALLY know what you’re doing in the kitchen, even though all you really did was roll out some dough. On the scale of tarts, this one falls in the…
Creamy Dreamy Lemon Loaf (Shhh… They’re better than Starbucks!)
What better way to start off the Saturday of a long weekend (thank you Queen Victoria!) than with a bright, fresh, tart, summer lemon loaf recipe. If you’ve ever taken a bite of the one from Starbucks, you’ve been wanting to make it at home. If you’ve ever taken a bite of this loaf, which…
One Bowl Chocolate Cake
It’s Friday morning, and man, am I ever glad that it’s finally Friday morning. The last two weeks have felt like they just dragged on for ever, and I’m really looking forward to two days where we don’t really have anything planned. Well, I shouldn’t say nothing. I’m about to embark on a two hour…
Lazy Day Cake
I am beyond excited to finally be sharing this recipe. The reason I haven’t before now is because slices never last long enough to photograph. Hands down, this is my favourite snacking cake. It’s the one that my Nana made all the time when I was growing up, and now it’s the one that I…
Bakery Style Vanilla Sponge Cake
I’ve had the hardest time making a quality vanilla cake. They always come out way too soft compared to the kind you get at a good bakery, and when I have managed to get one that was dense, it was dry too. I literally have half a shelf full of professional baking cookbooks too, and…
Cherry Almond Coffee Cake
I love desserts and snacking cakes like this. Ones that are incredibly fast and easy to make, but look so damn fancy when finished. Psst – It’s recipes like this one that help me look like I actually know what I’m doing in the kitchen. It’s from Tasting the Seasons, a great new cookbook by…
Triple Chocolate Muffins
We’re at the rec center twice a week now. Once for the kids swimming, and a second time for Oliver’s hockey. After every visit, the kids beg (and usually get) a trip to the snack stand where they talk us into a slush puppy (because what better drink is there when you’re wet and/or sweaty…
Crisp & Gooey Turtle Brownies
My friend Katie over at The Perfect Brownie is on a hunt for just that. She has them broken down by type, texture, taste, you name it, all in the search to find everyone’s version of the perfect brownie. A couple of weeks ago she asked if I’d like to do a guest post for…
