Chocolate Bundt Cake

July 9, 2014 by Cate 24 Comments

Chocolate Bundt Cake is so rich and moist thanks to sour cream in the batter. A gorgeous and delicious chocolate cake!

Did everyone have a good holiday weekend? It was nice to have a day off work but I must say, my weekend was not so great. TheBetterHalf and I were supposed to go visit my family in St. Louis. After an hour delay and 2 hours sitting on the plane at LaGuardia, AA canceled our flight! They were unable to re-book us, so we had to cancel our whole trip. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.

So I made a cake to cheer myself up! Who wouldn’t smile at a nice, rich chocolate bundt cake! Just smelling this in the oven made my weekend start to look up immediately.

Macy’s spent all spring searching for the best grillers in America to compete for the ultimate prize here in New York City. It was a fun day of watching six top grillmasters compete to win $10,000 and take home the title of Grilling Guru! The judges were celebrity chefs Johnny Iuzzini and Todd English – two guys who clearly know a thing or two about great food.

Peach Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cake

June 30, 2014 by Cate 16 Comments

Peach Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cake combines the delicious taste of cinnamon rolls with the ease of a coffee cake. It will become your new go-to weekend breakfast!

Remember this blackberry cinnamon roll cake? It was one of my all time favorite things that I have ever made. So easy, so delicious, so impressive – it is literally the perfect breakfast recipe! So I decided to change it up a bit and make a peach pecan version! I am such a huge fan of peaches – they are my favorite thing to eat in the summer (ok, other than ice cream!) – and I really like the flavor of peaches with cinnamon. I combined the flavors in my Peach Yogurt Bread and it is one of the top recipes on my site! Speaking of yogurt, did you enter to win FREE Chobani yet??

Move aside, blackberry cinnamon roll cake – I think I have found a new favorite!
