To-Die-For Chocolate Cake
Look, let’s cut to the chase. This is a flour-less chocolate cake that got me an actual standing ovation when I made it last weekend. I’m posting it now so you have time to change all your Thanksgiving dessert plans and make this instead. I will be making it again myself on Thursday, of that […]
Flax Eggs
I was asked recently to make a few dozen cupcakes and a smash cake for a little girl’s first birthday party. A smash cake is a little, in this case only 3 inches, personalized cake for the birthday boy or girl that they can demolish with their hands. I’d never heard of one until I […]

I’ve been hearing about Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Cake forever (well, at least as long as I’ve been reading baking blogs), and I figured what better occasion to test out the recipe than my boss’s birthday?
