Caramel Cake

The secret to a good caramel cake is all in the frosting. The frosting for this one is amazing!

A caramel cake is really all about the frosting.  It has the base of a nice, light, fluffy yellow or white cake but the frosting is the star of the show but it definitely  needs a good cake to let it shine.

I basically eat cake so I can have frosting.  It is my favorite part of the cake and this caramel cake had lots of frosting goodness. I used 3- 8 inch cake pans for this cake. After baking and cooling, be sure and brush off as much of the crumbs on the outside of the cake as possible, it makes frosting easier.

The frosting is made with butter, butter and more butter just the way frosting should be.  It also uses dark brown sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla and powdered sugar.  Unlike many caramel forstings this one doesn’t need to be cooked for long periods of time.  It’s cooked in the microwave for a few minutes and then into the mixer.


Light, fluffy, tender, moist and flavorful.  It is the perfect base for a great caramel cake.

Cheesecake Bites

Bringing it to a dinner as a tiny-bites dessert will please everyone who has a tendency to overeat. But it will be rich and flavorful!  Cheesecake bites are nothing more than little chocolate-covered morsels of creamy cheesecake. No special equipment and no water bath needed, since chocolate covers any cracks. SO good! There’s just something about taking an otherwise ordinary, classic cheesecake, slicing it into 1-inch squares, and dipping them in chocolate. I promise you these will be the first treat to go at a party! Ingredients:     For the crust 1 1/2 cups (225 g) gluten free cookie crumbs (I used my “Nabisco” GF Honey-Maid Grahams, from Classic Snacks) 5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled     For the filling 2 8-ounce packages (total: 16 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup (100 g) for a less-sweet version) 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons (18 g) cornstarch (or try arrowroot) 2 eggs (100 g, weigh

That vibrant pink is perfect for Mother’s Day – love all the fresh raspberries in this one! o, so pretty and the color is stunning.  I love, love, LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it’s always a hit. I add a sprig of fresh mint to steep for 5 minutes before straining the fruit which adds a nice flavor. I also tried a blackberry/blueberry/basil version this week that was equally delicious! Awesome recipe! This tart was fantastic! It was everything I was hoping it would be. The curd was velvety, tart, and delicious.
