Let us eat cake! Often the centerpiece of a celebration, cakes make the person of the moment feel that much more special. It’s that little extra that makes a good celebration great!
Hummingbird cake is very popular in the South. It’s a moist cake, made with bananas, pineapple, pecans, coconut and cinnamon. Top it off with cream cheese frosting and you’ll feel like you’re on a tropical island. This recipe was given to me by a lady I worked with many years ago. Penny (RIP) was from […]
When entertaining, it’s important to me that everyone present partakes in a tasty dessert. Having several friends that follow gluten free diets, I was bound and determined to find a dessert that was moist, tasty and had a nice texture. After trying several recipes (some were really gross), I came across this gem. It comes […]
Stollen is a yeast bread sprinkled with rum soaked candied fruit, candied citrus peels, raisins and almonds. It is traditionally eaten on Christmas morning in Germany. The manner in which the loaves are folded over represents the Christ child, swaddled tightly. The generous dusting of powdered sugar represents the newly fallen snow.
My Mom made the BEST chocolate cake on this earth. It saddened me that the recipe was not written down. I recently learned that my cousin Bernadette had a copy. Much to my surprise, I discovered that the recipe wasn’t my Mom’s, but it was my Aunt Anne’s recipe. I hope your family enjoys it […]
Back in 1976 I went to the Kentucky Derby and while dining in a Mom & Pop restaurant, I saw this recipe printed on the paper place mat on the table. I asked the waitress if she ever tried it and she said yes, it was her Grandmothers recipe. I kept the place mat and […]
The first time I had this cake, I was at a Filipino party and as soon as they brought it out, the people starting lining up to get a slice. Honestly, I wasn’t interested in trying it because it looked soggy, as if someone spilled a glass of milk on it. Well, my friends were […]
You would never know this mouth watering dessert starts out with a cake mix. It’s got jello, pudding, cream cheese, strawberries, nuts and cool whip, transformed into a spectacular dessert that is both pleasing to the eye and down-right delicious! Thanks to my old friend Lauren P. for this recipe.
Out of all the cakes I have baked, pound cake is still my favorite. I have a few different recipes that I favor. This one is made with sour cream…and of course, BUTTER!
It’s been years since I came across this recipe. It’s a pumpkin cake with a creamy cheese filling, sprinkled with walnuts and rolled into a log shape. Not only is it impressive… it is absolutely delicious!
This is a pound cake that I just can’t stop eating. Thank goodness it is baked in a double sized loaf pan because if it wasn’t, I’d have to hide it in my closet to keep it all to myself. It’s firm yet moist and oh so buttery. Thanks Pat for the best pound cake […]
