What would happen if a brownie and a loaf cake married? This perfectly fudgy, dark, dense chocolate loaf cake would happen. This loaf is no-nonsense and perfect for Valentine’s Day with a significant other, with friends, or by your onsie (no judgment zone here). Valentine’s Day is so much more controversial than I think it…

champagne cake with rose buttercream
It’s celebration time! I mentioned earlier this year that Pass the Cookies has been up and running for one year now, and what a better way to celebrate than with a naked champagne cake with rose buttercream and some beautiful flowers? If dreams were photos, these would be them. Sometimes I look back and realize how…

chocolate pound cake with chocolate glaze
Some foods are so nostalgic. For me, chocolate glazed cake is one of them. This recipe is slightly adapted from my grandmother’s chocolate pound cake recipe that has been passed down through the generations. I don’t recall having this particular cake much when I was growing up, but I do remember a similar cake my mom used to…

And just look at that title. Cookie dough Momofuku funfetti birthday cake. What!!!???? This cake was a labor of love (and sometimes disdain). There are a…
vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry jam
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Ours was filled with travel, family, church, deviled eggs and this cake. I love the combination of flavors in this dessert. The vanilla cake is fluffy but still slightly dense and surrounded by perfectly sweet lemon buttercream. Each layer of the cake is brushed with raspberry jam…
mini coconut quick breads with fresh whipped cream
Coconut is a very divisive ingredient. Some people love it and some people hate it. I love coconut. Will does not like coconut. On the other hand, I can’t stand even the smell of bananas, much less the taste, but Will loves them. I do, however, love banana bread. Are you catching on? I feel…
sunday sweets: banana cake with cinnamon brown sugar filling and salted chocolate frosting
Oh, daylight savings time, I don’t know how to feel about you. On one hand, I love the extra sunlight that comes when we “spring forward” for daylight savings, on the other hand, I struggle to know what time it is for about a week. I don’t trust my clocks and I question the time…
sunday sweets: shortbread stuffed irish cream cupcakes
It’s March! And with March come shamrocks, leprechauns, St. Patrick’s Day and all things green and Irish. Soooo, I made a mistake when making these and didn’t realize it until I explained the treat to my mom. I stuffed shortbread in the middle of them, thinking that it would enhance the already Irish cupcakes with even more…
