Pumpkin and Vanilla Layered Cheesecake

January 1, 2012 0 comments

The holidays just aren’t the same without stuffing yourself with decadent desserts.  This pumpkin layered cheesecake is thick, rich and creamy.  I was nicely surprised to see just how thick a cheesecake this recipe made.  It came to just below the top rim of my springform pan. With the pumpkin cheesecake layer between two layers of regular vanilla cheesecake, you get a nice hint of pumpkin spice without it feeling too much like a fall [...]

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

I really can’t see why anyone would dislike whoopie pies.  They’re basically hand held pieces of cake.  These particular whoopie pies are made with a devil’s food cake mix and icing made with marshmallow cream.  Yum! The cake tops turned out super soft and moist.  Which kinda made them harder to eat but that’s half the fun.  The messier the better I say, it usually means you’re eating something delicious if you’re willing to be [...]

But alas, after baking this fancy lookin root beer cake, I got my answer.  Sadly you cannot really taste [...]

Homemade Cake Batter Ice Cream

Anyone who’s never tasted cake batter ice cream can’t begin to imagine what they’re missing.  It’s a delicious vanilla flavor ten steps above plain old vanilla.  And just like the name describes, it has a vanilla cake flavor to it also. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few different brands of ice cream in this flavor.  Most of them have been good but nothing compares to this homemade recipe.  I don’t know why it [...]
