Triple Malt Chocolate Cake

triple chocolate malt cake

  I’m pretty excited because I finally baked the Triple Malt Chocolate Cake from Chowhound. It was so easy it almost made itself, but what was difficult was finding the right kind of malt powder. In this recipe, the type of malt powder that works best is the unsweetened type made by Carnation or Horlick’s. [...]

Bake Sale Cookies

I’m posting today’s cookie in honor of Gloria Pitzer — mother of all “secret recipes”. She’s also the mother of Michael Pitzer, who after years of doing nothing with www.secretrecipes.com, is bringing it back to life and hopes to have all his mom’s creations from 30 years of recipe developing, on one page. …

Alton Brown Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s as hot as usual, but it’s starting to feel like fall because tonight is the first U.T. football game of the season. The neighborhood sounds like lawn mowers and people are running around in team colors buying beer and loading up pick-up trucks. Todd’s excited because this year he gets to go to …

Milk Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies

Milk Chocolate Cookies

The coffee cake was fun and Fuzz now has some breakfast for tomorrow, but today’s Friday and that means chocolate! The cookie I chose for today was from Martha Stewart’s Cookie Book. In the book, it’s called Milk-Chocolate Cookies, but you can find an almost identical recipe on Martha Stewart’s website under the name …

Easy Whole Wheat Walnut Coffee Cake

Coffee Cake

It’s Friday, so to end the week on an efficient note (and begin a weekend of wild inefficiency), here’s a recipe that can double as breakfast or dessert. The original Pillsbury recipe yields two round cakes, but I halved it and made it as written below, sans icing. I actually love icing, but …

Easy Whole Wheat Walnut Coffee Cake

by Anna on August 29, 2008 · 0 comments

Yesterday’s attempt at using half a can of condensed milk resulted in magic cookie bars. That wasn’t a very creative choice, but I used ingredients on hand, saved myself a trip to the grocery store, and was able to give a batch of magic cookie bars to my friend Steve who is home with …

Good Morning

I haven’t chosen a cookie yet, but I’m looking for something with condensed milk. For now, here’s a link to the U.S. and World Population Clock. It’s kind of soothing to sit there and just look at it. Plus, you can keep track of people.

Mini Oreo Tiramisus with Kahlua

Mini Oreo Tiramisu

I was having so much fun with Rita’s Oreomisu, that I decided to try another version – specifically, one with coffee. After all, tiramisu means something like “pick me up” and while sugar might do it for a little, I think it needs some caffeine. This is my revision. One ingredient that’s missing is …
