I haven't baked a cake in a couple of weeks ... maybe even months ... and it was time to get back into the kitchen. I've been trying to be good and not have too many sweets around the house, but I'm so glad I made this cake. It was also nice to spend a… Continue reading Blueberry Ricotta Coffee Cake
Happy New Year!! I can't believe 2019 is here...where did 2018 go? I took a little bit of a blogging break the last couple months, but like everything, I'm ready to get back to a regular schedule of posting new recipes, working out, reading and focusing on slowing down. I'm part of several mom groups… Continue reading Cranberry Pecan Cake
It's apple season and I'm so excited! I love all things apples - cider, baking with them and dipping them in caramel or peanut butter. Are you an apple lover too? We get cider from our local orchard and it's so good! The orchard is less than 10 miles from our house and it's packed… Continue reading Apple Cider Donut Cake
I had recently made a batch of quinoa for another recipe and had a lot of left over. I didn't want to throw it away, so I went on a search for recipes that use leftover cooked quinoa and came across a recipe for a chocolate cake. Hmm...that might be interesting! I've used cooked quinoa… Continue reading Chocolate Quinoa Cake
Growing up in the Philadelphia area, I've always enjoyed the deliciousness of snack cakes from TastyKake. One of my favorites was the peanut butter tandy cakes and I'm excited to share this little taste of childhood with all of you. It's three layers - a chocolate layer, creamy peanut butter and a light and fluffy… Continue reading Tandy Cakes
It's finally apple season here in PA and I couldn't wait to start baking and enjoy fresh, crisp apples from our local orchard. I picked up a basket this past weekend to get us through until we can get to pick our own...plus it's still warm here and the bees will be out in full… Continue reading Upside Down Apple Honey Cake
I'm wrapping up #CookOutWeek with dessert! I mean you can't go to a picnic without a little sweet treat to end the day. This blueberry yogurt cake was packed full of blueberries with a hint of lemon in a rich cake. We all loved it and it was eaten way too quickly! I will definitely… Continue reading Blueberry Yogurt Cake
As usual, I had a couple of over-ripe bananas and needed to find something to make to use them up. I don't know why we always end up with 2 or 3 bananas that never get eaten?!? I was thinking about making one of my muffin recipes, but then decided on this recipe for a… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Cake
Peach season is winding down and I grabbed one last basket of peaches from the farm stand I visited all summer. This basket ripened all at the same time and I knew we wouldn't be able to eat them before they went bad, so I decided to bake a cake. My coworker mentioned making an… Continue reading Upside Down Peach Cake
My kids have been asking for me to bake a cake and this is one that I'll definitely be making them again. It's not too sweet and is super moist. The only berries I had on hand were blueberries, but I can't wait to make it again when strawberries are in season. I'm thinking it… Continue reading Blueberry Ricotta Cake
