Peach Pound Cake with Peach Nectar Glaze

May 22, 2012 by Tiffany

You may have noticed over the last few days that my site has been slooooooow. I couldn’t even get it to load for me in order to write a post or approve a comment. So frustrating. But I’ve switched hosting companies (switch should be complete sometime today) and hopefully, the site will work fantastically from now on. Thanks for your patience while we were having problems!

Now for the cake. This is a peach variation on the Apple Spice Cake. It starts with a cake mix and a can of peach pie filling. The result is a moist cake studded with peaches and drizzled with a sweet, peachy glaze.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Banana Cake with Coffee (Mocha) Icing

January 10, 2012 by Tiffany

One of my Grandma’s signature desserts was Banana Cake with Coffee Icing. She made it from scratch as a layer cake. I’ve made her recipe before and it uses every bowl in the house. No kidding. It requires whipping egg whites and stirring dry ingredients and mashing bananas and boiling water and beating egg yolks… A delicious, time-consuming mess!

I’ve simplified things a lot with this recipe. It’s still made from scratch. I use a sheet cake pan instead of doing a layer cake. But I kept the Coffee Icing recipe the same. It’s really mocha, but we didn’t use the word “mocha” back then. Mocha is a new-fangled word.

Gingerbread Bars with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

December 16, 2011 by Tiffany

Gingerbread and orange pair up so well. Something about the deep, molasses and spice flavor with the bright citrus tastes like the holidays.

This recipe is a mash up of two other recipes: Gingersnap Sandwich Cookies with Orange Cream Cheese Filling from Recipe Girl and my Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce.

I wanted something cake-like that would feed quite a few people. The Orange Cream Cheese Frosting was perfect for topping it off. [Read more...]

Caramel Pumpkin Cake

October 11, 2011 by Tiffany

Every once in a while, I make something that bumps to the top of my list of posts. This is one of those recipes.

The cake is the same recipe I use for Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, but baked in a 9×13 pan so it’s thicker. While it’s still hot from the oven, poke it full of holes and pour warm caramel sauce over the top.

The caramel soaks into the cake, infusing one perfect fall flavor with another. Amazing!

Streusel Cake

September 9, 2011 by Tiffany

This is my sister’s absolute favorite birthday cake. The moist, yellow cake is marbled with sweet, cinnamon swirl.

It’s easy to make too, because it starts with a cake mix. Have I ever mentioned how much I love cake mix?

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Baby Cannoli Cakes

August 26, 2011 by Tiffany

You are going to love these!

All that chocolate ganache. All that delicious cannoli filling stuffed in a chocolate chip muffin.

{Did she just say chocolate chip muffin?}

Yep! That’s right! This muffin has officially crossed the line into dessert.

I’ve been wanting to try this since I first made Chocolate Chip Muffins. The idea comes from The Cake Mix Doctor cookbook. I absolutely love that book. Anne Byrn has a recipe in there for Cannoli Cake that is divine.

I have to say though, my family agreed that the baby cakes version is better. The muffins are not as tender and sweet as the cake. And muffins have a bit of a crust that holds up to the thick, creamy filling better than the cake does. [Read more...]

Chocolate Cake with Cappuccino Frosting

August 12, 2011 by Tiffany

This cake is all about the frosting. Oh my goodness! I don’t know why I never thought to do this before.

The coffee flavored butter cream is delicious eaten from a spoon or licked from the bowl. But save some for the cake, because it’s a perfect pairing with chocolate cake.

I don’t have any ingredient pictures to share with you this time. I may have been so excited about this recipe idea, that I forgot to snap a photo. [Read more...]

Old Fashioned Spice Cake with Caramel Glaze

August 29, 2009 by Tiffany

old fashioned spice cake glaze running

I have a confession to make. It does involve bananas, like my last confession, but only indirectly. It will also lead to how this cake was born. A week or so ago, I fed my family muffins and milk for dinner. That’s it. Everyone survived. My 14 year old son did give me a questioning look when I told him that’s what we were having. I offered that he could fix an egg for himself, but he downed 4 or 5 muffins in just a few minutes and seemed satisfied.

Simple Coffee Cake

Warm from the oven or grabbed as a quick snack, this cake is yummy either way. This is a recipe my mom used to make when I was growing up. One of the beauties of it is the ingredients are things I almost always have on hand.
