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.
Kahlua Creamy Fudge
May 15, 2013
According to Wikipedia: “Kahlúa is a Mexican coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur. It is dense and sweet, with the distinct taste of coffee, from which it is made. Kahlúa also contains sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla bean.”
This fudge recipe is a very rich and flavorful one. When you set it up nicely, it’s a fantastic addition to any party tables. It depends on how strong you want the Kahlua taste, you can add to the amount of Kahlua stated.
You need not use a candy thermometer, you just need a timer and it always turns out great. It’s definitely a keeper!

If you love ice cream and like working with it in the kitchen, this recipe is for you.
We all love ice cream. Some love eating it, others love making it and then eating it. Give your usual ice cream pie oomph, and take it to a whole new level of deliciousness! This time, use Twix candy bars. Nobody can say no to Twix!
It feels just right when you whip this up. It will lure in the young ones and the once young, I tell you! No matter the weather. 🙂

Twix Ice Cream Pie Spread one of the chopped Twix bars on the bottom of the cookie crust. Stir together the chocolate ice cream and spread it evenly over the Twix bar. Immediately cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least four hours, or until ready to serve. |
Enjoy! 🙂
Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream Cake Roll
May 1, 2013
At some point in my life, I was crazy about Oreos. As a kid, I remember not being able to sleep if I didn't have my Oreo fix. I was the typical kid who would open the sandwich cookie, and lick the filling. Then I would close it again, and dunk it in my tall glass of milk. You get the picture.
