Feathery Fudge Cupcakes

These feathery, moist, fudgey cupcakes are the all time chocolate lovers favorite. Relatively easy to make, healthy, and satisfying, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with kids, at a party, or just to satisfy your own chocolate craving. (Recipe was originally a cake recipe. To make as a cake bake for 30-35 minutes in two 9x 1.5- inch round greased baking pans.)

Chocolate Banana Cake from Canadian Living

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:42:20 -0400

The name "Chocolate Banana Cake" does not do this dessert justice. Not even remotely. Banana-chocolate chip cake is layered with white chocolate whipped cream and banana slices, while the entire thing is covered in white chocolate whipped cream and topped with chocolate ganache. Just incredible. Add nuts for extra flavor. The recipe comes from a Canadian Living cookbook and can be found on the Canadian Living website. Worth the time it takes to make, particularly for special occasions. -- posted by KimEBdos

Black Forest Cake

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:23:22 -0400

My daughter loves cherries. For her birthday, I've been making this cake. It is fairly simple and can be made 13x9" or with 2-8 inch rounds. I used 'light' cherries for the topping, and frozen dark for the cake itself. This choice is up to you, as long as the amount of moisture is equivalent. I also took the juice from the cherry topping and added it to the whip cream, to make it flavorful, so I wouldn't add additional sugar, and to color it ever so slightly. -- posted by Le Gout

From delish.com - Brownie meets cake in this fun dessert from Emily Luchetti, a cookbook author and the executive pastry chef at San Franciscos Farallon.

Divine Chocolate Cake

From the website cancerbattlefield.com. Easy and delicious chocolate cake for any occasion. The frosting is optional but keeps the cake moist. And on the top of the cake, some berries can be added before the frosting is put. An important thing to remember is not to eat the cake with a glass of milk as the combination of chocolate and milk will cancel the positive effects against cancer. -- posted by Eva Fieffe

Milk-Chocolate Cremoso With Espresso Parfait

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:23:14 -0400

This is another recipe on my best-friend Judy's list for her summer party. Recipe by Chef Michael Schwartz from "Michael's Genuine Food & Drink" at 130 NE 40th Street, in Miami, Fl where it is a showcase for it's Chef/Owner's cuisine The dessert is listed as: "Chocolate Cremoso with sea salt, olive oil, sourdough crostini & espresso parfait for $9" . Miamians are assumed to be too bikini-conscious to indulge in this dessert - a decadent milk-chocolate cremoso (a silky pudding-like dish) drizzled with olive oil; however, it is one of the best-sellers at Michael's. "Some people are like, - olive oil & chocolate? But the olive oil reinforces the richnerss of the cremoso. Like you really need more richness.!" At least 4 hours chilling time The cremoso can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the espresso parfait can be frozen for up to a week. From Miami's Got Good Taste in F&W Magazine, published in the December 2008 Edition - this is also a staff favorite. What is NOT to be liked? :) -- posted by Manami

Chocolate-Orange Cake

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:23:57 -0400

I love this cake for several reasons. I love chocolate and orange together, I love cake in general, and sometimes I like to cook without eggs or other high-allergen foods just to keep my game up, although this cake does require yogurt so probably can't be made vegan . I found the original recipe on a blog by Shyamala Ramanathan-Edwards http://srefoodblog.blogspot.com/, who based her recipe on one from the eggless baking book by Cintia Stammers, published by the Bhaktivedanta Trust. Then I put chocolate in it. I have never made the orange-sultana (raisin) filling, instead using (eggless) orange curd such as http://www.recipezaar.com/fresh-orange-curd-357753 and/or chocolate ganache. -- posted by Shoga-chan

Chocolate No Bake Bundles

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:46:00 -0400

Yes ... a desert from me. I'm not too much into desserts, but this is worth mentioning. My girlfriend made these for a bridal shower we both attended last month and they are absolutely delicious. Crunchy, sweet and even though I like chocolate, I'm not a "chocoholic," so for me to really like these, it says a lot. They just firm up on the counter and take minutes to make. A perfect like snack for a party. She found the recipe in a small local cookbook from her home town in TX. She cooks very little, but loves to bake, however, she admits ... her idea of baking is never having to turn on the oven. Well, this was the perfect dish for her and it was a hit with everyone.

High Tea Caramel Chocolate Bars With Shortbread Crust

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:49:56 -0400

Copied from the Tribune, posting for safekeeping and I'm tired of news clippings laying around everywhere. Sooo yummy and decadent! Great for parties and high tea, although I'm going to be honest and say that I ate these after I knocked back a bottle of cheap Chianti while watching The Jeffersons when I had nothing else to do on a Friday night. -- posted by the80srule

Colorado Mel's Glazed-Chocolate-Cheesecake-Cupcakes

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:51:22 -0400

These are my favorite cupcakes from when I was young! They're so delicious, they're easy to make, and everyone always wants the recipe. :) My mom used to spread the extra glaze between graham crackers and we would eat them after they hardened. Those were so good that sometimes we would just make the glaze recipe minus the cupcakes! -- posted by Colorado Mel

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:30:45 -0400

From a free recipe book given out by Philadelphia Cheese (on the purchase of of 3 products). They classify this as a dessert but I think could be served as a sweet appertiser. Chill time not included in timing. -- posted by I'mPat

Hannah Obee's Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:53:55 -0500

This cake is unreal! It is so scrumptious and I only allowed myself a tiny taste! Delizzzzous! Thi cake is one of the final three in the 20th birthday cake competition at BBC Good Food. This dark, rich, moist delectable cake is one of the desserts we are serving for our Thanksgiving Dinner. All family members are invited and we fill up the DR, the patio off the DR, the two lobbies and the hallways! Good Food magazine, November 2009 issue.:) The recipe calls for golden syrup and since the recipe is English, I think it called for Lyle's Golden Syrup. I know it can be found in NYC & other large cities - we found it in a specialty store here in South Miami. A good substitute - Steen's Cane Syrup - good luck. That is what came up when I googled it ;) -- posted by Manami

This snowball cake was on the cover of food & family magazine I received yesterday, it looked so good, I had to make it last night. It was exactly as I hoped. I used my Pampered Chef Batter bowl to bake mine in and it turned out great. Can't wait to make this during the holidays -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Pecan Pie Cheesecake With Caramel-Pecan Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:41:32 -0500

The better the quality of the bourbon you use, the better the flavor in both the cheesecake and the sauce. For a simpler dessert, skip the cheesecake and serve the delectable sauce over pound cake or ice cream. I have been making cheesecakes for a long time but this took my breath away and it is scrumptious! ;) CuisineAtHome - Issue 78, December 2009..Cooling times have not been included, about 3 to 24 hours. -- posted by Manami

Pecan Pie Brownies -- Version II

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:43:37 -0500

Here's how to please chocolate lovers and pecan pie lovers with one scrumptious bar. These are the creation of Camilla V. Saulsbury and appeared in her book: Brownie Mix Bliss. These bars have a bottom of chewy chocolate brownie topped with the familiar brown sugar pecan goodness of pecan pie. The author prefers a cakey brownie to contrast with the pecan filling which is why she calls for the three eggs in the brownie batter. But if you want a fudgy brownie, reduce the eggs to 2. Do give these a try! -- posted by Lorraine of AZ
