It must be one of the simplest desserts out there, but I’m throwing a strawberry shortcake curveball at ya’ll. These squares of… […]

One of my favorite traditions each year is to make a King Cake to celebrate Mardi Gras. The King Cake tradition came originally from medieval France and Spain. Later, it was celebrated in Louisiana, where Creoles celebrated the king’s ball with a fancy cake in which a bean had been placed randomly inside. According to […]
Nigella’s chocolate Guinness cake has been on my bucket list for y-e-a-r-s. Because Guinness + chocolate + cake = my dream dessert and there’s no other cake that is more worthy or more perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Guinness stout and chocolate collide in a moist, chocolatey cake. I love that this is not a layered […]
Light Double Chocolate Loaf Cake filled with chunks of dark chocolate and topped with a rich chocolate ganache. I actually know some people who don’t like chocolate and that’s okay.

I've always supported the idea that this holiday should be for all kinds of love and not just the romantic sort. It should be celebrated elementary school-style. That means you buy a box of […]
Ah, Fruity Pebbles. My childhood in a bowl. I'm still fond of this cereal. My favorite part is the purplish-grey milk that's left behind after all of the pebbles have been eaten. It's a last sip of super-sweet concentrated cereal flavor, which is delicious despite how weird it looks. This was my first time making […]
Winter citrus holds a kind of magic that is the antidote to dismal days. It doesn't take much, sometimes just a wheel of Meyer lemon floating in my Earl Grey is a fine pick-me-up. Blood oranges are my favorite of all the winter citrus. They tend to be extra-aromatic and their gorgeous ruddy peels hint […]
I've made this bundt cake countless times, so it's hard to believe that I've never shared it with you before now! The batter molds beautifully in ornate bundt pans and the baked cake is cotton-soft in the middle. Brown sugar and mini chocolate chips sweeten the cake, so it tastes much like a chocolate chip cookie!Continued, […]
