• Six Layer Whipped Ganache filled Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

    This is not the recipe I had planned to share with you this week, but when I saw these pictures I realized, it’s time y’all met the fabulous chocolate cake I made for my birthday!   Isn’t she beautiful!     This six layer beauty starts with the same classic chocolate cake recipe used for my Double Chocolate Birthday Cake last year. This recipe makes enough batter for 2 deep layers, or you can split it into three pans. I chose to bake it in three pans and then cut them in half to have six layers. Yes, you read that right, SIX layers of chocolate cake. When you’re turning 30…

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

    Hi y’all! It’s been a while since we talked but if you were sitting in my kitchen today I’d make you a cup of coffee, serve you a slice of this cheesecake, and catch up on what’s going on in your life. But since we can’t sit down and chat today, here’s a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake that is a favorite at our house. But first I have to warn you, this cheesecake is indulgent. It all starts with a rich and creamy cheesecake that is filled with cookie dough and chocolate chips. A small slice goes a long way, which means it will last longer or…

  • Crumb Coffee Cake

      I love a good coffee cake with my coffee on Saturday morning. But there is no need to wait until Saturday morning to enjoy this Crumb Coffee Cake.     The Crumb topping makes this coffee cake a little fancier than the Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe already on my blog. There is something classic about a Crumb Coffee Cake and this one has the perfect ratio of crumb to cake. The cake is light and fluffy and the crumb topping is full of wonderful things like brown sugar and cinnamon.     Buttermilk makes the cake extra moist and I know I’ve already mentioned it, but just take a look at how…

  • Oatmeal Cake with Caramel Icing

    So I know it’s not quite fall yet, thanks to my hubby for reminding me this week that we still have a couple weeks of summer left. But since I want you to be fully prepared for fall and all of the delicious food that comes with it, today I’m sharing a cake that just screams fall.     This Oatmeal Cake is another recipe from my hubby’s mom. Now don’t let its plain name fool you. This cake is full of flavor and is incredibly moist. I don’t know if mentioning moist just once is convincing enough. This Oatmeal Cake is what a moist cake dreams of being.  The recipe…

  • Double Chocolate Cake

      So last weekend I celebrated my birthday and like most food bloggers, I made my own Double Chocolate Cake. Now don’t go hating on my hubby for making me make my own birthday cake, he offered to make one for me. He actually has made me a birthday cake in the past, but this year I was dreaming of this amazing Double Chocolate Cake that I’m sharing with you today.     This recipe makes a lot of cake. Unless your cake pans have unconventionally high sides, I recommend splitting the batter into three pans. Since I only have two 9-inch cake pans, I bake two layers and then wash one of the…
