This is a quick and easy cake for those in a hurry. It can be eaten with your hands as a quick snack or dressed up with icing and served warm with ice cream! The original recipe is from my 'Best of Bridges' cookbook and was a marble snack cake made with Nutella. I didn't have any Nutella in the house so I substitued for peanut butter and skipped the marbleing step to save me time! Here's my alternative cake recipe, hope you enjoy!
Now this is a treat to make your favorite loved ones on that special day! Similar to a black bottom cupcake recipe, this recipe is just as good and even more chocolatier (if that is even a word lol) than you can imagine...OK, so just imagine a moist chocolate cupcake filled with a soft chocolate cheesecake filling in the middle and topped with loads of whipped cream icing. Sounds like heaven, doesn't it! These cupcakes are so good, especially the cream cheese surprise in the middle!
Homemade caramel sauce, cake made from scratch, apple cinnamon streusel, topped off with creamy vanilla ice cream...who could ask for anything yummier? This is a sweet twist on a classic coffee cake. The cake is fluffy but sturdy, the streusel adds great flavor and texture while the caramel satisfies your every sweet tooth. I made this cake for a dinner at my boyfriends brother's house and served it with ice cream, and let's just say more than one person went back for seconds. This cake is even great on its own without any caramel sauce added and can be served at breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Here is the recipe below for you to try this caramel apple cake!
This is a great recipe for a New Years Eve party. I love making Bakerella's cake balls, they are so easy and fun. I decided to make them this time using lemon cake mix because I wanted a fun color to be on the inside of the balls when you bite into them. At first I was going to cover them with white candy coating and decorate them with sprinkles. But when I went to the craft store, I found colorburst bright candy coating and I had to try it out. The balls look fun and taste so good as always. Follow the link above to make your own New Year's cake balls!
As I mentioned in my earlier post, me and my boyfriend are all the way around the world in Australia. We came here to visit our good friends Kat and Dwayne get married! We stayed with them for a week and a half before the wedding and I got to help make the cupcakes for the wedding. The wedding was so beautiful, very sunny and very colorful.
As I have mentioned before, my boss asked me to make a cake for his daughter's 1 year birthday party. He also asked if the cake could be apple flavored, have low/no sugar, have no egg whites, and be ladybug themed. He was having two seperate parties (one with just family and another with just friends) and asked if I could make cupcakes for one party and a cake (plus a little smash cake) for the other party.
If your celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend like I am, then this is great recipe for a Thanksgiving dessert. It satisfies both peoples craving for chocolate and peoples craving for pumpkin pie this season. This cake is moist and fluffy with great chocolate and spice flavor combinations with just a hint of butterscotch taste. This is a version of a manipulated cake box recipe that my mom used to make using golden cake mix and vanilla pudding mix. I decided to use spice cake mix and chocolate pudding mix to keep things festive this weekend. This recipe is easy and fast, it doesn't even need an icing or frosting if you don't want to, just sprinkle it with icing sugar and enjoy! This cake is also very versitile you can easily substitue different types of cake mix or subs
I got this recipe from my 'Better Homes and Gardens: Cook Healthy Today' cookbook in the breakfasts and brunches section. The cake turned out really well and had a great cinnamon coffee flavor. The batter was a bit sticky to work with but in the end it tasted very light and airy. I changed the recipe slightly by substituting white sugar for brown sugar (in the coffee/cinnamon mixture) and used vanilla yogurt instead of plain low-fat yogurt. Here is the recipe below so you can also try this coffee flavored quick cake.
My boss at work asked me to bake a cake for his daughter's 1 year birthday, but there were a few restrictions on the ingredients. He asked the cake to be apple flavored, have no or little sugar, and to be ladybug themed. So all week I have been testing out sugerless apple cake recipes to see which one is the best. This was the second one I have made so far and although the texture was good, it didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked it (but I have a huge sweettooth). I added a butterscotch glaze just for fun to give it some more flavor. The cake overall was good if your not that big into sugar, it has a nice light texture with hints of cinnamon and apple to it. I have sample #3 in the oven right now and I will let know
My friend Dulce at work has been asking me to make her mini chocolate cupcakes for a long time now. I had a couple Mr.Big chocolate bars in my cupboard and I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do with them; then I remembered how much Dulce likes Mr.Big bars, so I thought why not make her some mini Mr.Big chocolate cupcakes. These little treats turned out really well and Dulce was pleasntly surprised! I used a cake mix box but altered it to make the cakes more moist and to make them more like a Mr.Big bar. Here's my adapted version of this delicious treat!
