    My Backup Chocolate Cake, Cause Everyone Needs A Backup

    June 1, 2021 /

    Everyone has a couple of cake recipes in their arsenal, this one is my backup chocolate cake. The one that is super easy to make and I know it will always turn out. My go-to chocolate cake, which can be found here, is a little fussier to make and I needed a chocolate cake to practice my icing skills on. This cake is delicious and super moist and if you are just starting out making cakes from scratch, this recipe is the one for you. I make this cake often and like I said I have never had it not turn out. Tips for making a great chocolate cake: Make…

    This Hummingbird Cake Is Perfect For Mother’s Day

    May 9, 2021 /

    My obsession with hummingbird cake goes way back. I love the banana and pineapple combination together, and that it’s topped with cream cheese icing makes it even better. If you are tired of the regular banana cake or looking to make something a little different with the bananas in your freezer, I would highly recommend this cake. I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share for Mother’s Day this year! If you are able to spend this Mother’s Day with your mom, make her this cake she will love it. Some tips for making this cake: Bring the eggs to room temperature. If you’re like me and forget…

    The Best Vanilla Cake Recipe

    April 10, 2021 /

    I know what you’re thinking, that is a pretty brave title. Honestly, this is the best vanilla cake recipe you will ever make. I have been on the hunt for a great vanilla cake recipe for a long time. I find that vanilla cake is either too dry, dense or doesn’t have a lot of vanilla flavour. This recipe is light and fluffy and has the perfect amount of vanilla flavour in it! Some tips for making a great vanilla cake, bring all ingredients to room temperature, make sure you sift all of the dry ingredients, don’t over-mix the cake batter, and bake at a lower temperature. Some of these…

    Irish Cream Cake, Great For St Patrick’s Day

    March 14, 2021 /

    It’s that time of year again when everyone bakes green items for St Patrick’s Day. I try to avoid green baking at all costs. I find that you need to add so much food colouring to make things a good shade of green and then when it bakes it doesn’t always look the most appealing. Sometimes it comes out looking mouldy and it should go in the trash instead of on a plate. This year I thought I would try to make something with Bailey’s Irish Cream. I don’t bake a lot with alcohol, I don’t like the taste of it in my baking, but with Baileys, I don’t mind…

    Nothing Say I Love You Like Red Velvet Cake

    February 15, 2021 /

    This is the recipe I get asked for the most, and it has probably been the one that has evolved the most. Every time I make it I think I can make it a little better the next time. This is the 2021 version and may be different the next time it gets posted. People tend to be scared of making red velvet cause they think it will be difficult, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. I find red velvet easier to make than vanilla cake. Red Velvet is my all-time favourite cake. I will always pick it over chocolate or vanilla any day. There is just something about…

    Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake That Reminds You of Grandma

    January 24, 2021 /

    This recipe came along cause I wanted to use this new pan I got. Someone I follow on Instagram was thrifting a few weeks ago, and she showed this beautiful copper pan that was at the local Goodwill. I have always wanted copper pans but the price is too much for a pan, they range from $40 to $60. If you make a lot of bundt pans would be worth it. I however do not, so that is a lot to spend on a pan I will only use maybe twice a year. Anyways, so I got this pan from Goodwill and it was a steal! It was $3.50 and…

    Blackberry Breakfast Cake, (Yes That’s Right, Breakfast Cake)

    October 18, 2020 /

    I love cake! I seriously could eat it all the time, which is why I don’t make it often cause I would eat it all. I try to only make it for special occasions like birthdays or some holidays. When I saw this recipe for breakfast cake, I thought my prayers had been answered. If it has breakfast in the title then it must be fine to eat it for breakfast right? What is a breakfast cake you ask? Well, it’s is similar to a coffee cake only not as sweet and is usually made with seasonal berries of some sort. I hope you enjoy this breakfast cake as much…

    The Only Carrot Cake Recipe You’ll Need This Fall

    September 27, 2020 /

    I can’t believe it is already officially Fall. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks how is it already the end of September? There are only 13 more weeks until Christmas and 14 more weeks until 2021. With the weather turning colder and the leaves turning all the amazing autumn colours it is time to get into the Fall baking. This is the time of year when I tend to bake things that are more savoury. Where I make pumpkin pies, apple crisps, and of course carrot cake. Kevin’s birthday is the end of September, the 25th to be exact, and I always try to make him something…

    S’more Cake with Marshmallow Icing

    August 1, 2020 /

    With the end of summer fast approaching, it’s time to get outside and enjoy the remaining bit of hot weather. It will be gone before we know and we will be complaining about snow and how cold it is. What better way to celebrate than with a S’more cake! This chocolate cake recipe is my all-time favourite! It is from Bouchon Bakery and it is the best chocolate cake you will ever eat! It is so good you can have it for breakfast! This chocolate cake is unbelievably moist due to the mayonnaise that is in it, trust me you can’t taste any of the mayo after it’s baked. This…
