Anyone will delight in this recipe. The best thing about it is the fact that it’s actually a breeze to make! There's no denying that it tastes sensational, but it also happens to have so many other phenomenal things going for it that I just have to share with y’all.

Think cupcakes for any occasions, chocolate sheet cake for a children’s party, and layer cake for the grown-ups, just to name a few.

Chocolate Mint Layer Cake
May 7, 2014
When you're feeling down, just think this: It's already summer next month! Many of us wait all year for summer. The tan lines and beach hair are just too chic to let them pass you by. However, I don't always belong to that club. I mean, yeah, I love it, but I'm 50% member of the Holidays-lover club.
To me, you don't just bounce back after the Holidays, I live in it for months on end. By some means, the scent of an evergreen tea and the sight of the twinkling lights signal to my brain that 'tis the season to be joyous! And they stay with me for months, I tell ya. Until, like, June, tops.

Chocolate Almond Pound Cake
February 19, 2014
You should know that this cake is, as a matter of fact, weighty. Deeply sorry I had to use such word play. In any case, the cake was named for the ratio of ingredients it is made of: 1 pound butter, 1 pound eggs, 1 pound flour, 1 pound sugar. But we won’t stick with those measurements!
Long story short, despite the original pound cake's sparse number of ingredients, it is packed with flavor. Pound cake is described as a dense cake with a compact, buttery crumb. The butter and eggs are to be thanked for its richness.

How many times have you bought ready-made meals or desserts from a store? Have you thought about the many advantages of making your own?

Case in point: cakes!
Chocolate Loaf Cake

This cake may be so humble, all in its unassuming shape, yet so delish. You can enjoy a slice with your favorite cup of Joe or if you're a tea lover, so be it. You can even have a dollop of double cream or dress it up further using with a thick layer of ganache. Roasted pears and vanilla custard wouldn’t be so bad, either!
Red Velvet Chocolate Cake
May 22, 2013
Ever since I came across a red velvet cupcake some years back, I've been in love with red velvet cakes/cupcakes. I don't know about you, but I think it's one of the prettiest looking cakes known to humans.
Red velvet cake is described as a cake with either a dark red, bright red, or red-brown color. It is typically prepared as a layer cake that has cream cheese or cooked roux icing as topping. You get the reddish color by adding in beetroot or red food coloring.
The most commonly used ingredients are buttermilk, butter, and flour for the cake and cocoa, beetroot, or red food coloring for the color. The amount of cocoa differs depending on the recipe.
