How does the week go by so fast? My new goal of posting every Tuesday was all but entirely forgotten until I was laying in bed at 11:00 last night. So better late than never...right?
This cake was something I spotted online when I was researching how to use up cake mixes I have. It jumped out at me because it looked very similar to Black Bottom Cupcakes a friend of mine made for us a few times. They were/are one of my husbands favorite desserts so I figured this was worth a shot. Also who can pass up a dessert with the name Fudge Lover's Cream Cheese Cake?
This turned out so good and gooey which I liked. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream that made it even better. It is a large recipe though so make it when you are expecting company. I took it to a family dinner for 6 and we still had leftovers. The leftovers were ok with my husband since he snacked on them the rest of the week.
I didn't make any alterations to the original Betty Crocker recipe so instead of copying it all down here follow this link. She took better pictures too!
Enjoy!
While walking around on my lunch break at a local mall I happened to walk by these cute little creatures. They are chocolate truffles and they are oh so adorable! One is a white chocolate cat and the other is a dark chocolate lady bug. They are from a company called Moonstruck Chocolatier. Click here for their website and to see better pictures! Great gift idea...or possibly an idea for a home project?? Any takers?? Sheena?? : )
On Friday night after work I got the urge to bake. I knew we would be visiting my Grandparents later in the evening so I thought it would be nice to take a treat along with us. Also after a long week of work the way I like to unwind is in the kitchen.
For a week or so I had wanted to try this Chocolate Frosting I saw on Our Best Bite. It is made with granulated sugar and flour then cooked on the stove. I had never seen a recipe like it so I was very curious. I talked my mom into making it with me and we both had a good time.
I also make a batch of brownies (I used a boxed mix...shhh) in a Demarle mold.
The finished product was the smoothest and lightest frosting I have ever tasted. It also wasn't too sweet so it didn't kill you eating it on a brownie. There is a vanilla version that I would like to try too but that will have to be a different day.
For something new and different give this a try.
