Cherry Amaretto Bundt Cake

July 21, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

I don’t know about the rest of you but there is nothing better than cold fresh cherries on a hot summer day. Where I live we only have fresh cherries available for a short time so I have to take advantage of them while they are in season. I love the taste of sweet cherries mixed with the almond flavor of amaretto . Having an abundance of fresh cherries and loving the flavor combination this Cherry Amaretto Bundt Cake was born. This cake is full of fresh cherries and have hints of the amaretto flavoring. So tender and delicious it is hard to stop eating.

These Nutter Butter Football Cupcakes are the ultimate treat for the chocolate and penaut butter lover and just in time for football season. All the guys in my house love this combination so when I was makng these they were circling the kitchen and waiting . I am a frosting snob and I have passed this trait down to my youngest son , he will only eat homemade peanut butter frosting . He is with me on the no canned frosting rule , making it isn’t that hard and soooo much better.

Wedding Cake Cupcake

July 18, 2018 by Debbie 1 Comment

One of my favorite cookbooks I received as a newlywed back in the late 90’s was The Cake Doctor cookbook. I learned then that boxed cake mixes can be doctored up and made remarkably delicious and this is a perfect example . Another delicious example is my Lemon Cupcakes and I even make Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls that are to die for. Once I discovered I could make a yummy cake pretty easily I then became a frosting snob. No canned frosting for me!! These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion from weddings , birthdays and showers. For these cupcakes I did a classic white frosting but that is totally up to you. Another bonus is this recipe makes around 30 average sized cupcakes.

Strawberry Delight Ice Box Cake

May 2, 2018 by Debbie 3 Comments

Nothing says summer to me more than a cool crisp strawberry dessert. This strawberry ice box cake is something I have been making for years, way before I saw poke cakes on pinterest made with pudding. I am so old that pinterest didn’t exist when I came up with this yummy dessert….gasp lol. This cake is one of those cakes that you can bring to a gathering and it will be the first thing to go. It is so delicious but you don’t have to tell anyone how easy it is.

Hummingbird Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Filling

April 5, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Growing up in the south I remember the first time I had a Hummingbird cake and I have had a love affair with it since then. I typically had them with the three yummy layers and cream cheese frosting oozing from all the layers. The ripe bananas not only give this cake the basic flavor it makes this cake melt in your mouth tender. Adding pecans and pineapple just makes this cake absolutely divine. I really don’t know who claims to have come up with the wonderful cake but they are pure genius and need to be in the Southern Bakers Hall of fame, lol.

Boozy Banana Cake

January 4, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Do you ever have over ripened bananas and want to do something a little different ? Well, this is how this Boozy Banana cake came to be. I had some bananas I was saving to make banana bread and after seeing something about Bananas Foster on TV my recipe wheels started turning . I am also all about being easy and I love bundt cakes. I mean who doesn’t love a nice bundt cake? It’s not exactly bananas foster but it has basically the same flavors.

Nothing bundt thankful for bundt cakes !! LOL, seriously I love easy cakes baked in a simple tube pan with a nice thick glaze drizzled on it. This granny smith apple bundt cake is simply everything fall crammed into one cake. In south Louisiana when we get our first cool front I want two things…Gumbo and this cake. I have the chicken and sausage gumbo simmering and this cake baking .. I can honestly say this is what heaven must smell like.

The spices are perfectly balanced with the citrus undertones and has a nice crunch from the pecans.This is an altered version of a cake I have been making for years and I have the recipe posted on Just a Pinch. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/granny-smith-apple-bundt-cake-3.html?r=8
