Flourless Chocolate Cake with Ganache (and brown butter)

February 12, 2024 By Emily

Flourless chocolate cake with ganache has quickly turned into my favorite cake!!! Be warned: it is meant for chocolate lovers - it is bursting with dark chocolate, is rich, and fudgy, and it's topped with a chocolate ganache to really take it to the next level!! My version of flourless chocolate cake contains browned butter for an extra nutty complex flavor, and whiskey for another unique depth of flavor that really helps to make the cake extra special. However, these ingredients are both … [Read more...]

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice (Recipe)

October 11, 2023 By Emily

Can we even have pumpkin season without a homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe?! I think not! It is the base of what makes pumpkin recipes - well, taste like pumpkin. Of course, there is the actual pumpkin ingredient that helps the food taste like pumpkin, but if we're being honest, there are many sweet treats that we enjoy, that do not contain any actual pumpkin, and only contain the pumpkin pie spice - we're looking at you PSL!!! And, guess what? It somehow tastes like pumpkin!! So, I … [Read more...]

Wow!! It's been a minute.  We just moved into our new house this past Friday. As I am writing this post, it is the first day that I have been working in my new office. We are officially moved in, but still in the process of unpacking. Due to the rush of packing up our old house so that we could be moved out on time, and then moving into our new house - I took a somewhat longer then expected break from blogging. Never fear, I AM BACK!  And I have so many delicious … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Cake with Yogurt Cream Cheese Frosting

October 28, 2020 By Emily

A slice of pumpkin cake, with white cream cheese frosting and a pumpkin candy on top, with a bite taken out of the cake.

Pumpkin cake, AKA pumpkin bars, are often shared at fall-time gatherings. I am always excited to see pumpkin cake topped with white cream cheese frosting and a little pumpkin candy at football parties, Halloween Parties, or other fall gatherings. I love anything pumpkin spiced. I would happily take a slice of cake and dig in. It was always good. Had that tender cake, laced with pumpkin and warming spices - topped with that rich cream cheese frosting, a real treat. However, I have always … [Read more...]

Yogurt Cream Cheese Frosting

October 21, 2020 By Emily

Hi friends. It's officially, officially baking season. For some people, baking season starts on September 1st. For me, it starts once it's cold enough out to wear cozy sweaters.  Having the beautiful smell of something baking away in my kitchen makes everything even better. And what is some baking without having a good, reliable frosting recipe for you to spread onto a variety of baked goods? This yogurt cream cheese frosting is my new favorite recipe for a slightly lighter take … [Read more...]

Chocolate Lava Cake (Gluten Free Adaptable)

February 18, 2020 By Emily

Happy belated Valentine's Day, friends! This chocolate lava cake was supposed to make it to you in time for Valentine's Day, so that you could treat yourself. But I came down with a cold, that I am still trying to shake, and wasn't up for writing about chocolate cake and Valentine's Day. You see, I much prefer that a post is late than for it to not reflect my best self within my writing. Besides, do we really need a holiday for a reason to make and eat rich, luscious chocolate lava … [Read more...]
