Cinnamon Sugar Peach Cake

When I came across this recipe I practically ran to the kitchen to begin making it.  I took out a stick of butter, 2 eggs and buttermilk to bring them to room temperature.  Since my little guy was asleep, I couldn’t make it to the store to get the one ingredient I lacked…fresh peaches.  So [...]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

On any given day there are dozens of recipes that come into my Google Reader from the food blogs I follow.  It would be impossible for me to read all these posts, and even more impossible for me to try to make even half of them.  If something catches my eye, I’ll open it in [...]

Nilla Wafer Cake

What has happened to me?  Why did I make Kraft macaroni and cheese for Ben and a frozen Healthy Choice meal for myself for dinner last week?  Because I am a new mommy, and that means I am kind of a mess.  To all those mothers of newborns who have it together, I envy and [...]

Sweet Potato Cake

Why I ever bought a can of sweet potatoes is a mystery.  I bake sweet potatoes every now and then, but I have never had a use for canned sweet potatoes.  I saw this can of potatoes and went to the trusty internet in search of something I could bake with it.  I found this [...]

Apple Cake

The past week has been a very eventful and exciting one.  A week ago today, we headed to the hospital to welcome this little guy into the world.  Despite his surprise arrival eight days early, we could not be happier that he is finally here. Since the arrival of Carson, I haven’t been doing much [...]

Cold Oven Pound Cake

Another recipe from America’s Best Lost Recipes that I received for my birthday and where I got the recipe for the peach puzzle. The only unexpected thing about this pound cake is the baking process.  The pan goes into a cold, as in DO NOT PREHEAT, oven.  It then cooks for an hour and a [...]

1-2-3-4 Cake with Caramel Frosting

Have you ever made a 1-2-3-4 cake?  I hadn’t, or maybe just not noticed that I had, until yesterday.  “What is a 1-2-3-4 cake?” you ask.  It’s simple really. 1- cup of butter 2- cups of sugar 3- cups of flour 4- eggs Of course there are other ingredients that accompany these 4, such as [...]

Chocoflan Cake

My mom sent this recipe to me.  I discovered in talking with her today that the reason she sent it to me is because she was too scared to try it out herself.  I have become the recipe guinea pig, and I am totally OK with that. There’s always a little bit of uncertainty when trying a [...]

Hot Chocolate Layer Cake

A while back I lost my Canon camera in a horrific flood.  A water bottle mysteriously opened in my purse, drowning and destroying my camera.  Anyway, for a while I took pictures with my iPhone.  Not spectacular, but sufficient photos.  Then, Ben bought me a Sony camera that has served me well for the last [...]

Italian Cream Cake and Happy Birthday Ben!

I love my husband.  I love when he has a birthday because I get to shower him with gifts, and a special birthday dinner.  I really love that his favorite cake is Italian cream because that is also MY favorite cake!  What are the chances?  We were meant to be.  So, when November 30th rolls [...]
