I've been on the hunt for a fudgy chocolate frosting for as long as I can remember, and there have been many ganaches and whipped buttercreams that I've tried but I think at long last I've found The One. The One that makes me feel like Bruce Bogtrotter and want to lick the cake plate … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Chocolate Blackberry Cake
I baked this cake twice last week, the first time as an experiment for a friend's birthday and clearly I considered it a win so I made another cake for my mother-in-law's birthday that coming weekend. The chocolate cake recipe used for this yields a big amount of batter and therefore a very tall cake … Continue reading Chocolate Blackberry Cake
Peanut Butter Brownies
Two weekends in a row of baking and I have to say I feel really charged! I also watched Moana, caught up to Riverdale and fit in an early morning walk with my dad. All in all, I'd say I had a pretty amazing weekend. Work is pretty full on, but relatively OK compared to … Continue reading Peanut Butter Brownies
Raspberry Sea Salt Brownies
Those of you who know me are well aware of my long-time love affair with raspberries and baked goods. So much so that my husband gets to share the dubious honour of being co-namesake for one of my absolute favourite recipes (Rizberry Cheesecake recipe plug). So, as I sit here, slowly working my way through … Continue reading Raspberry Sea Salt Brownies
Flourless Fudge Cookies
There are some days where you just need to bake or cook or create something tangible with your bare hands. On those days where you feel just plain old shitty, I find one of two things helps: making something in the kitchen, or re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (especially the QWC campsite … Continue reading Flourless Fudge Cookies
Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Is it breakfast? Could I possibly have it for dessert? When the answer is yes to both, then you're on the right path in this life, my friend. I've wanted to make banana bread for the longest time, but people keep eating my damn bananas before they get to that perfectly ripe stage that I … Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake
I have my favourite chocolate cake recipe, and despite having tried multiple other recipes since then, I still go back to it as my number one. So these days, the purpose of my trying out other chocolate cake recipes isn't to try to find a better one, it really is just to try different ones. … Continue reading Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake
Easy Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls
On Sunday, I woke up with a whole day ahead of me and no rush to do stuff by Monday. So I set to the task of making cinnamon rolls, using the recipe I posted two years ago, with the addition of chopped balsamic strawberries snuck into the dough. As much as I love the … Continue reading Easy Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls
Strawberry Meringue Chocolate Cake
//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js What is there to do when one is stuck in Friday night traffic for close to three hours? Why, devise a new concept for cake, of course! I was on my way on Friday night, the rain beating down on my windshield, hungry and craving for everything under the sun, when I thought of … Continue reading Strawberry Meringue Chocolate Cake
Churros & Dark Chocolate Sauce
One of the happiest activities I can think of is scooping fresh churros out of the hot oil, then rolling them in cinammon sugar... and the best bit: dipping them in melted dark chocolate before going in for the sweet bite. I love churros. Unfortunately, there will be no instant gratification for me here as … Continue reading Churros & Dark Chocolate Sauce
