Chocolate Pudding Cake With Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

February 29, 2012 0 comments

Boxed store brand cake mixes are good but you can make them even better by adjusting the ingredients just a bit.  By tweaking it a little it makes the cake super moist.  I always get a bunch of compliments  and people are surprised that it’s just a simple doctored up cake mix. I made this chocolate cake for hubs on Valentines Day; hence the red, white and pink M&M’s on top.  The cake is so [...]

Soft Sugar Cookie Bars

This recipe for soft sugar cookie bars would be perfect for taking to a family picnic or gathering.  It makes a huge 13 x 18 pan full of yummy sugar cookie bars.  They are super soft and the cream cheese icing is to die for.  It’s not too sweet and sugary, just right.  And they look so pretty in the pan or cut up into squares and arranged on a platter. Soft Sugar Cookie Bars [...]

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 [...]

Have you ever heard of making frosting with chocolate syrup?  Well me neither!  I thought that stuff was only good for making a cool glass of chocolate milk.  Well surprise surprise, it makes for a delicious chocolate frosting!  Probably one of the best chocolate icings I’ve tasted in a long time. And use it to top a chocolate cake with a marshmallow middle and you’ve got a real slice of heaven on a plate.  But [...]

Finally my last Thanksgiving post, phew.  Even though I cooked Thanksgiving dinner too, it seems like I only made desserts that week. My husband’s family does lunch at noon on the holidays so I wanted to make something light, hahahaha.  NOT!  I knew hubby wouldn’t eat the apple tart or the pumpkin pie tart later that night so I thought I’d treat him to his favorite…chocolate and sugar.

As I promised in my Confetti Cake post, I’m going to share with you the best frosting recipe I have ever tasted.  Yes, it takes a little extra time and effort but believe me it is well worth it! I’ve never been a fan of sugary icings.  I can’t enjoy a good piece of cake when the icing is so sweet.  This buttercream recipe produces a creamy vanilla frosting that does not make your teeth [...]

Well it’s been quite eventful here the last few days and I apologize for not posting in the last week.  It’s kinda hard, no… impossible really, to blog when you can’t even sit at your computer.  Let me just say that I have never experienced such pain ever before in my life!! The problem hasn’t really been diagnosed yet and tomorrow morning I’m heading to the doctors after spending two separate evenings in the ER [...]
