Click here for recipe Cooking Light, March 2006 YUM!! I cheated on the icing though. I didn't make it. I also took this cake to a Holiday party we had at work. There weren't any leftovers of this one either. For some reason, I forgot to buy molasses so I used sorghum instead. It's kind of in the same family with the same consistency and everything. I hated using my good sorghum for this cake, but it was worth it. I LOVE gingerbread anything. This was delicious!!! I WILL be making this … [Read more...]
Pineapple Coffee Cake
Click here for recipe Eatinwell.com So, I broke down and bought some whole wheat pastry flour. Now I have a huge bag of it in the cabinet. Guess I need to look for more recipes that have this as an ingredient. I had these three cans of pineapple chunks in the cupboard for EVAH! They were driving me crazy and I tried to find something to make with it. I found this recipe. I took the chunks and put them in the mini cuisinart to chop them finer for the cake. It worked. I did drain the … [Read more...]
Chocolate-Banana Snack Cake
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, May 2006 This is the second time I've made this. I refer to it as the divorce cake. I made a double batch once. I took half to a friend's house for a party thinking I would have some for later when I got home. Yeah, no. He ate the WHOLE EFFING THING! Yes, I went ape. This is pretty good. It's chocolate-y with a hint of banana flavor. This time, I added a little bit of banana flavoring to make it a little more banana-y. I took it to one of the Holiday … [Read more...]
Fudgy Brownies
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2002 Yes, they're fudgy. The batter is really thick and you need to really spread it into the pan. I only had dark chocolate cocoa powder so they were more like blackies than brownies. *snort* I don't now if CTM liked them all that much, but I sure did and will make them again with regular cocoa powder. Measuring cups and spoons Whisk Rubber spatula 8x8 pan … [Read more...]
Double-Chocolate Cupcakes
Double-Chocolate Cupcakes Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2007 These aren't so much cupcakes and they are muffins. They were pretty dry. They are very chocolatey, though. They really remind me more of muffins than cupcakes. I've been snacking on them for a about a week or so. Measuring cups and spoons Mixing bowl Hand or stand mixer Muffin tin Spatula … [Read more...]
Black Forest Cherry Cheesecake
Black Forest Cherry Cheesecake Cooking Light, July 2000 Since it's winter, there are no fresh cherries...well not at our Giant anyway. So, we used frozen dark sweet pitted cherries. I don't have a spring form pan and I forgot to line the cake pan with tin foil so it was difficult to get out. It took a little longer to cook than the recipe states and I didn't let it cool in the oven. It was delicious!! I'd never made a cheesecake before but this one turned out really good. We used … [Read more...]
Double Ginger Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze
Double Ginger Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze Cooking Light, December 2008 So, I've had these on the list to make for a couple of months now. I LOVE gingerbread ANYTHING!! So, when I saw these I just had to make them. I didn't make the icing. I'm not a huge fan of icing and prefer my cupcakes nekkid. O M G these are delicious!! They're are gingery and very moist!! They DO NOT need icing or frosting. However, if you must, I'd make a cream cheese type icing instead of the lemon stuff in the … [Read more...]
Banana Pudding
Banana Pudding Cooking Light, May 1997 I have made this SEVERAL times and thought I'd post it on here. IT IS AMAZING! We LOVE this recipe and have made it twice in the past week and probably would make it ONCE a week we could stand the calories. The pudding is just tasty!! Sometimes, I dip cookies in it while I'm arranging the layers, it's that good. I add just a few drops of banana extract to the pudding mix with the vanilla extract to give it just a hint of banana flavor. The meringue … [Read more...]
