That first day after getting home from the beach, I was craving cake. It sounds absurd, since this is hardly health food, but after a decadent week of Oreos (thanks, Dad), ice cream, peanut M&Ms (thanks, Dad again), and more ice cream, I wanted something simpler and less rich.
Milk Chocolate Chunk Chocolate Loaf Cake
I’ve mentioned before that I have a capacity for endless experimentation with chocolate chip cookie recipes. As it turns out, I think we can add chocolate cake recipes to that category. Unfrosted ones, mind you (although a glaze is acceptable and sometimes even desired). I love chocolate cake. If I remember correctly, I think my…
Cardamom Yogurt Cake
Happy Mothers’ Day! I just felt an actual pang in my heart, speaking of the emotional roller coaster known as parenting.
Lemon Basil Bundt Cake
John and I were squabbling the other day, a run of the mill dumb fight–the kind we do have in front of the kids because I think it is healthier for them to see us fight and make up than always get along perfectly.
Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake and Some Gardening Mysteries
The worst thing about being behind on posts is craving what I am writing about. I came home with extra lemon bunny cake that a friend made for Easter while we were in Columbus (which was absolutely delicious), but it is gone now and I have not baked anything since returning. So staring at this…

We have a complicated relationship, me and brown sugar. I love it plain–I steal pinch-fuls every time I bake–but many brown sugar…
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Wacky Cake and A Review of Piece of Cake!
Full disclosure: my mom does not make cake from scratch; I did not grow up in a family where cakes were baked, aside from the occasional boxed mix. My maternal grandma did, but my mother never. Even pancakes, waffles and shortcakes are made with Bisquick. Now this is the same woman who, as far as…
Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake
Like many people, we tend to get into ruts where breakfast is concerned. This problem is even worse for non-morning people, like myself, because we are not going to get up earlier–even by 10 minutes–to add cooking time to our morning routine. Nor are we capable of much thought, let alone creativity, for a good…
White Russian Pound Cake–and a Vent!
In person I am about the least likely person to back down from a potentially controversial position. Multitudes of jokes have been made about me being opinionated. I tend to shy away from it online, however. For one thing, I dislike dealing with the inevitable lack of courtesy that accompanies comments on the internet, where…
