Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake with Strawberry Icing

May 8, 2012 by Tiffany

Have you ever made a recipe that you just weren’t sure about? Even while I was baking this, I didn’t know if it would be good or not. I had the idea to change up the recipe for Tuxedo Bars and I had a strawberry cake mix in the pantry. Chocolate and strawberries go together, right?

I asked about the cake on Facebook, just to see if others thought it sounded good. I also wanted to know what kind of icing to put on it. I couldn’t decide between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. After reading all the opinions of readers on the EaH Facebook page, I decided to go with strawberry icing.

The result was marvelous! The fresh strawberry frosting really set off the cake and the mini chocolate chips gave it just enough chocolate flavor. This makes a 15×10 inch sheet cake, so it’s great for a crowd. But I think it would also freeze well, if you have more than you can eat.

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

White Chocolate Raspberry Homemade Ice Cream and a $200 Walmart Card Giveaway!

November 22, 2011 by Tiffany

It’s no secret that I love ice cream. I’m pretty sure ice cream is a perfect food. It’s so creamy and sweet and easy to eat. If I could get away with it, I’d eat two bowls a day.

I love to make ice cream too. I almost always do a variation on the sweetened condensed milk and half & half recipe. Now I’ve got a variation that you are going to love. It will open a whole world of new homemade ice cream flavors to you.

The secret is International Delight coffee creamer! I did have to play around with this a little bit. (I know. Such a sacrifice to have to eat more ice cream.)

At first, I used all International Delight and no half & half. It worked, but it didn’t set up nearly as well as I thought it should. So the next batch I used 1 cup half & half and 1 cup International Delight. Perfect!

I’ve tried the White Chocolate Raspberry and Peppermint Mocha flavors in the ice cream recipe. Both were delicious.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it (minus the half & half that didn’t make it into the photo): [Read more...]

Tuxedo Bars – Double Chocolate Cake Bars with Buttercream Frosting

October 14, 2011 by Tiffany

My friend’s husband said these should be called Penguin Bars, but I think that implies that they’re frozen. He ate quite a few of them though. Enough to equal a whole penguin.

It’s hard to resist chocolate cake bars studded with chocolate chips and topped with buttercream.

The cake part of this is the same recipe as my Double Chocolate Bundt Cake. The kind of pan makes all the difference. I like both versions, but I think the bars are even more moist than the cake.

No ingredient photo this time, but here’s the recipe: [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 Pretzel Fudge

June 16, 2011 by Tiffany

Fudge + pretzels = Scrumptious!

This is an easy fudge to make. It’s a variation of Mocha Fudge. Just melt the ingredients together and throw in a handful of broken pretzel pieces. Lick the pan. Then wait. And wait. And wait a bit more.

About 3 hours in the fridge later and it’s ready to cut and eat.

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

Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cocoa Coconut Streusel

May 31, 2011 by Tiffany

The other day, I posted a list of 28 Muffins You’ll Want to Try and Terri left this comment:

Hi,
I was looking at your muffin recipes. They look yummy! I’m also looking for a coconut muffin maybe with mini choc chips added. Have you ever heard of something like that? I thought maybe replacing the liquid with coconut milk then add either maybe a streusel with toasted coconut and a drizzle of chocolate. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions? I have tried a couple of your recipes and passed on your site to some friends.
Thanks,
Terri

Oh, what a good idea! I went into the kitchen and got creative right away. These are the result. The muffin is infused with coconut flavor and studded with mini chocolate chips. The streusel topping has cocoa and coconut. Oh yeah!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

May 3, 2011 by Tiffany

I whipped these muffins up one night to snack on during family game night. We were playing spoons, which usually leads to ice cream for some reason. Then the next morning we have no spoons to stir coffee or eat cereal because they’re all dirty from the game playing, ice cream eating fun the night before.

But on this night, I decided chocolate chip muffins would make a fine snack. I love baking muffins, because it’s so fast and there’s an infinite variety of flavors. Needless to say, these were a hit.

I have some big plans for taking these muffins to a new level that involve cream cheese and chocolate ganache. I’m waiting for a day when I can bake in the afternoon so the photos have some daylight. We’ve had so much rain lately, I may have to settle for a dark day.

Back to the muffin recipe. Here’s what you’ll need. I didn’t grab a photo of the ingredients, but they’re all common items. [Read more...]

Ingredient Spotlight: Chocolate Chips

September 1, 2010 by Tiffany

This is the start of a new series where you get to link up your recipes! Each week I’ll focus on a different common pantry ingredient. I’ll link to a few of my recipes that feature the ingredient and then give you a chance to link up to your blog.

Chocolate chips are one of my favorite ingredients. Sometimes they don’t even make it into a recipe before we eat them up! I buy at least 1 bag each week and sometimes more. I also like to keep mini chocolate chips on hand.

Our favorite way to eat these morsels is in Chocolate Chip Cookies, of course.

Here are some of my other favorite recipes that feature chocolate chips:
