Tiramisu
I wish I could remember where I got this recipe originally, probably at SmittenKitchen. Either way, this recipe has now spread all over the internet, and rightfully so. It’s really delicious and not at all difficult to make!
All the usual Twitter suspects were there, it’s been so long since I’ve updated the site, sorry about [...]
Lemon Chiffon Cake
The title of this cake is too long to be the title of this post… wow, that seems to happen a lot with me. The full name of this cake? Lemon Chiffon Cake with Lemon Glaze and Blueberry Compote.
In other words, light, fluffy fresh, springy, cake.
@brooding_soul had been begging for a lemon cake and I [...]
Triple Layer Chocolate Caramel Cake
Triple Layer Chocolate and Caramel Cake with Chocolate and Caramel Topping… a mouthful (pun intended). This cake was inspired by a request from @ok2baprincess during Easter Brunch. She had a craving for caramel and I wanted to fill that craving!
I went to my usual suspects, Gourmet Magazine, SmittenKitchen and my own little book of recipes [...]
Red Velvet Cake
OMG! How many times did people ask me to bake a Red Velvet Cake? Just about every single Cake and a Movie night. So I finally did it, I baked a Red Velvet Cake and as usual, I chose SmittenKitchen.com as my source, she originally adapted the cake from “The Confetti Cakes Cookbook” by Elisa Strauss. Seemed [...]
Oreo-Peanut Butter Cheesecake
My local twitter friends had been asking for a cheesecake since the very first Cake and a Movie night and finally, at our last movie night, I came through for them. To help me out, @MDanbom took the liberty to make his very own cheesecake. If I can get the recipe from him, I’ll post [...]
Six-Layer Coconut-Mango Cake
This is our latest cake for Cake and a Movie night.
Took a ton of time to make and I’m just hoping it turns out to be worth all the effort. Six layers, each with a layer of mango filling between the next, stacking up to a 10×10×10 inch cake.
It’s massive. It’s 1,000 cubic inches and [...]
Triple Layer, Double Chocolate Cake
This cake is truly a monster. It’s the biggest round cake I’ve ever made and the biggest I’ll ever make. It got to be so tall that cutting and serving required patience, assistance and lots of room for error. The slices were so tall they didn’t even fit on my usual dessert plates! Luckily @ok2baprincess [...]
Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
This is a really great cake and holds a few firsts for me, mostly an original recipe and my first carrot cake. I was a little nervous about it coming out but it did just fine! A very forgiving formula, light and fluffy yet miraculously dense where it matters. The cake is spicy and moist, [...]
The Peanut Butter-Chocolate Cake
Michael (@mdanbom) joined me in making this delicious cake for the last Cake and a Movie night (#CaaM) which happened last night.
We had a wonderful crowd come over…
@laurenreid, @aurablush, @taylorjm10, @ok2baprincess, @brooding_soul, @savannahbrooke and @coreyschmidt.
It was suggested that we watch Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and it was a great film. But I’m a sucker [...]
Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake
This is my version of the popular Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse cake from Gourmet magazine, February 2006. I like a thicker, richer mousse and sturdier, easier to cut through crust. We paired it with the movie Ghostown. It was an awesome movie and the first feature film for Cake and a Movie night. This cake is [...]
