This moist and delicious cake uses 4 ripe bananas as well as some coconut for added moisture and tenderness. This is my favorite banana cake of all time. I have tried several different recipes over the years, but this is   Read More »

TWD: Burnt Sugar Ice Cream

Burnt sugar. You’re probably wondering why you would want to make ice cream out of burnt sugar. Caramel my friends. Caramel ice cream that is creamy and smooth tastes so very fabulous. It really doesn’t need any additional topping, but much like a fashion model, I felt the need to dress it up. So I added a drizzle of caramel   Read More »

TWD: Chockablock Cookies

Big cookies, one for each hand. Full of oats, molasses, coconut, chocolate chips, dried fruit, and nuts. Oh yeah, and a little cookie dough in there for good measure! I’ll admit, while mixing up this cookie dough, I said out loud to myself “I don’t think I’m going to like these”. I was dead wrong. These were surprisingly good and   Read More »

TWD: Swedish Visiting Cake

I have to admit, the recipe for Swedish Visiting Cake is probably not one I would have chosen myself. That’s one of the best parts of this baking group, someone else picks and brings you out of your comfort zone. This is actually a really easy cake, easier than most in fact. It’s baked in a cast iron skillet, giving   Read More »

Gooey Chocolate Cakes: A TWD Rewind

This week, Rachelle of Mommy? I’m Hungry! chose Soft Chocolate and Raspberry Tart for Tuesdays with Dorie.

I’m sure it was yummy and can’t wait to   Read More »

TWD: Chocolate Nutella Thumbprint Cookies

I used to make thumbprint cookies every Christmas. Yummy little buttery cookies filled with seedless jams and lemon curd, small enough to pop into your mouth with one bite! Yum.. After reading through this week’s TWD thumbprint cookie recipe and noticing that ground hazelnuts played a big roll, I immediate thought that Nutella would be an ideal filling. The chocolate   Read More »

TWD: Toasted-Coconut Custard Tart

I like coconut. I don’t love it, but I do like it. Chunks of fresh coconut are awesome. Shreds and flakes, not so much. Funny isn’t it? It’s the same thing, just a different way of cutting it, but shredding it into tiny pieces takes away that nutty texture that I like so much. Now coconut flavor? Love it. Pina   Read More »
