This simple Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake is a showstopper! It's a simple one bowl chocolate cake, filled with a chocolate hazelnut spread and a cheesecake mousse. Everyone will love this! So this cake. It's kind of everything. Pretty. Chocolatey. Easy. Your friends will think you're a cake supahstar if you make this.
The pumpkin train just keeps on rollin'... Last week my mom told me that she was having a get together with some friends and wanted to have a nice dessert to serve, and could I make something for her. Like the good daughter I am, I said sure.
Thank you to Jaime of Good Eats 'n Sweet Treats for choosing this week's recipe, Brown Sugar-Apple Cheesecake. I am a lover of all things cheesecake; I don't think I have ever met a cheesecake that I didn't like. So needless to say when this week's recipe was revealed I was beyond thrilled.
I am totally and completely infatuated with fall. From pumpkin, apples and cinnamon to jeans, hoodies, football and everything in between... I love it all. It's such a cozy time of year and I love the warmth that it brings, even though the days grow chillier.
I've used cherries here because they take two things that are already delicious together - cheesecake and chocolate - to a whole new level. You really can't beat a good cheesecake and this one is mega. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Grease and line the bottom and sides of a 24cm springform cake tin with butter.
Panettone is a brioche-type bread from Italy. It comes in loads of different sizes - I've used a large one here but you could easily adapt the ingredients to make a smaller cake. Cakes don't come much simpler than this one and the nice thing is that, even if it's assembled roughly and things aren't exact, it will still look cute.
Lately, I've been reflecting on lessons that I've learned since changing my career path and branching out on my own 4 and 1/2 years ago. Trying to pursue a new field in which I had no prior experience and grow a business feels like a rollercoaster most of the time.
Angel Food Cake with Peppermint Whipped Cream This has been quite a few days! I thought I was going to a "work dinner" with Pete last night, and it turns out it was a Surprise 35th birthday party that my darling husband arranged. I was VERY surprised.
I love when berries start to come in season. I've made this cheesecake twice now and it gets better every time. These lemon raspberry cheesecake squares would be a perfect summer time dessert and a great dessert idea for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday.
if you've read a bunch of posts here then you've probably heard me go on and on about my summers spent on martha's vineyard. this year it's a shorter trip, but we're here on this magical island and that's all that matters!
