I love these cakes. They are super simple and you can make them in so many combinations of flavors. We went for the more traditional yellow cake with chocolate pudding and a chocolate ganache. The kids were chomping at the bit for it even before dinner started. Verdict: These are simple and fun. The simple…

Kentucky Butter Cake
I am not a baker. If we are making a cake, cookies, or pie it needs to be straight forward and super simple. This is one of those cakes. Whether you call this Kentucky Butter Cake, as we do, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, or just plain old butter cake you have probably had a version…
Chocolate Eclair Cake
So, for Throwback Thursday I decided to visit an older post and remake it to see if it still holds up. Often we change how we cook something or add a new special ingredient or take something out but don’t go back and change the original recipe. I decided this year to go back and…
A Day in Kalamazoo
I have always thought that Kalamazoo sounded like a funny name for a city. Now that we spend quite a bit of time there I still think it sounds funny but I am learning my way around more and more. We spend all day one day each week there. I usually make a slow cooker…
Blueberry Angel Food Cake
Dessert for dinner. Yes, this is really what we ate for dinner. Our house air conditioner stopped working sometime yesterday and when we arrived home it was almost 80 degrees in the house. We turned the air down, checked the filters, turned it off and on and nothing. Ugh. So, it was too late to…
Old Fashioned Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
I remember my mother making this cake when I was a kid. She never put frosting on it (which was always my favorite part of the cake) because she said it was so rich anyways that it really didn’t need any. She would dust the top of the cake with a bit of powdered sugar but…
Buttery Coffee Cake
Looking for something to brighten up your weekday breakfasts or Sunday brunch? For the most post we are not big breakfast eaters. Once in a while we will do a big breakfast on the weekend but during the week my son is really the only person that eats breakfast. Usually it is cereal or oatmeal….
Orange Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
We don’t bake sweets too much in our house. I don’t enjoy making them much and my kids like eating them too much so the combination makes me give pause whenever I think about baking. Plus, you have to be so exact with baking or it doesn’t rise or set. I like cooking where you…
Chocolate “Bakery” Like Cake?
I LOVE to cook. I like mixing things together and making them taste amazing. Trying different combinations until it is just what I know my family will like. I don’t bake often. It is not something I enjoy. You have to be so exact in your measurements and there is not quite so much room…
