Grape. I always have been and always will be a grape girl. Red grapes, green grapes, purple grapes. It truly doesn't matter, if it's grape-flavoured count me in. Here's the tricky thing about grape...it's a hard flavour to produce, baking wise, in a non-artificial way.
Peanut butter and chocolate cake. Probably the most frequently requested cake flavour back when I took custom orders. Young and old alike. It seems that almost everyone enjoys a chocolate and peanut butter cake. Perhaps it's that delicious combination of salty and sweet, or the known goodness of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups but this cake combo is always a crowd-pleaser.
I will be the first person to admit that I'm not 100% sold on Red Velvet. I have yet to nail down a dairy-free version that knocks my socks off but with that said, this Red Velvet trifle turned out way better than I anticipated. Fun and delicious layers made up of...
Chocolate and strawberries are yum. Chocolate and raspberries are yummier. And chocolate and both strawberries and raspberries is the ultimate yummiest! Case and point, this delectable Chocolate Berry cake. I've got a brand new chocolate cake recipe and it's oh so wonderfully fluffy with that rich moist chocolate flavour reminiscent of a devil's food cake. Paired with a strawberry raspberry buttercream...this Chocolate Berry cake is plate-licking good.
I found myself humming and hawing over what cake to create for our weekly Sunday Family Cake tradition when I went to go drop off a few things at my dad’s house. We were chatting in his kitchen when I spied a bottle of cinnamon vanilla Baileys on the counter by the coffee pot and WHAM! Just like that! Cake inspiration hit.
Three rich moist layers of dark chocolate cake filled with decadent dreamy dark chocolate orange almond ganache and covered in the smoothest whipped orange chocolate cookie crumb buttercream frosting. Wow, that’s a mouthful in all aspects, saying and eating, but let me tell you it was chocolate orange layer cake heaven! This flavour combination is fun, bold, and totally festive. If you’re a chocolate orange lover, this one is for you!
I keep things fairly dairy-free around here. However, there are times in life when I simply cannot refuse the goodness that is dairy. No-bake cheesecake is such a time like that. The pure creamy decadence of a cheesecake cannot be resisted and I will gladly take...
I’ve never been crazy about a trifle. It’s not my go-to. 9 out of 10 tens I’d pass by it on the Christmas dessert table. But this one…in all it’s gingerbread yumminess…this one I’ll gladly eat by the spoonful. This fun sprinkled dessert bowl of gingerbread trifle...
Three incredible moist date-laden cake layers drenched in toffee sauce and covered the smoothest whipped cracked black pepper buttercream. I’ve made it even easier for you to experience this confectionary cacophony of toffee delight by using a doctored cake mix. So grab them dates and let’s change your Sticky Toffee Pudding cake world!
A bundt cake?! Who am I?! It’s pretty clear that I’m a lover of layers but there’s something to be said about a cake that comes together in no time flat without any finesse so to speak. And a bundt cake is exactly that. I’ve kept it even easier by using a cake mix as the base with a few “doctored-up” add-ins to level up this bundt cake from basic to ba-ZING-ga!
