Oh yea, two of my favorite things combined into one fabulous dish, chocolate and crumb topping! How can you go wrong…you simply can’t. 🙂 My Perfect Crumb Cake came out so amazing so I wanted to experiment with how I could incorporate chocolate into that traditional crumb cake recipe. This chocolate crumb cake came out a-maze-ing! Can you picture me singing that to you? Hopefully not because I’m not the greatest singer. Lol. The chocolate cake layer is dense, moist, and rich and it’s covered with a layer of cinnamon and sugary crumb topping and miniature chocolate chips. If you’re saying “oh my!” then you’d …

Mini Powdered Sugar Doughnut Muffins
“Time to make the doughnuts.” Do you remember that commercial? Well in this case, it’s time to make mini powdered sugar doughnut muffins! I love munchkin doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts (who doesn’t, if you’re familiar with the chain, doughnut holes for those that don’t). I especially love the ones covered with powdered sugar. Shocker, I know. For those of you who know me or have read other posts of mine, I’m kind of obsessed with powdered sugar. 😉 While I frequently by Dunkin’ coffee, I rarely treat myself to their doughnuts. They are mad tasty but they are not a friend to my …
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Loaf
A few weeks ago my husband and I met up with my family (parents, us 4 sisters, 3 husbands, 2 nephews, and a niece) in Lake George for a long weekend. We mostly did two things, hang out at the pool and eat. Does it really get better than that? (No, it doesn’t.) I wondered what I could make for the occasion that as many people as possible would like. I figured it had to contain chocolate since they are chocolate lovers like me. Plus, I wanted it to contain fruit since fruit is such a summery treat. Then it …
Raspberry Cheese Danish
The day after I made some goodies for my blog, including my cheese danish, I had asked my husband what he was in the mood for me to make. I tend to ask him this question a lot. I hope he hasn’t gotten sick of it. 😉 He told me that he wanted the cheese danish again. Again, so soon? Yes, that’s how good it was! A request for a repeat, only one day later from when I made it, is awesome. Of course I wanted to honor his request, but I mixed it up a bit. I took the …
Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cinnamon-Ribbon Bread
Whenever I host a brunch I always love to serve some type of bread or loaf because I think it’s perfect for late morning or early afternoon time and it pairs well with the other typical brunch foods. This bread is not really a bread, like you’d make a sandwich with. It’s a wonderful spice cake. The ribbon of cinnamon sugar in the middle of the loaf is similar to a streusel in a coffee cake, but there are no nuts in this loaf. Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cinnamon-Ribbon Bread Recipe (Makes 1 loaf) Ingredients: 1/3 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 large egg …
