One of the most amazing things about blogging is the incredible friendships you build along the way.

I’ve met a lot of people because of this site, and one of them is my friend Amber who I met way back in 2010 on Twitter. She helped me create custom table markers for an event I was assisting with and we became instant friends.

Amber is from Texas, so when she had her first baby and some of us bloggers threw her a virtual baby shower, I knew I had to bake up something to honor her home state. It was the first time I made Texas sheet cake, but it definitely was not the last!

I might be a Midwestern girl through and through, but I know how to spot good chocolate cake recipes and lemme tell ya – Texas sheet cake is one of the best! Serve it up with some Southern sweet tea for a taste of the South no matter where you live.

I first made this chocolate guinness cake years and years ago for my younger brother, Jared.

Even though I’m not a big fan of alcohol, I often find myself buying various libations that pique my interest for use in recipes. One of those random purchases somewhere along the line included a couple bottles of stout beer that I just knew would lend itself quite well to a chocolatey cake.

And so, thanks to a bit of impulse shopping and my little brother, this chocolate Guinness cake was born.

With Halloween coming up, I know I can’t be the only one thinking about candy and chocolate.

Don’t worry, I’m still totally into fall flavors like pumpkin, apple, and maple. But it’s good to think about chocolate every once in a while, ok?

This butterfinger poke cake is a super decadent dessert that is delicious any time, but is especially great for Halloween parties. Grab a bag of fun-size Butterfingers and whip up this cake the night before your party.

Or maybe you end up with a bag of Butterfingers left over after Halloween – consider this the recipe to use them up!

I’ve been keeping things on the lighter/brighter side lately with my lemon sorbet and layered lemon dessert. But now it’s time to share something for all of the chocolate lovers.

This dessert is pure decadence. Chocolate cake gets soaked in a condensed-milk-and-caramel mixture, then topped with whipped topping and toffee bits. It’s rich, chocolatey, caramely, and so good.

This chocolate toffee poke cake is perfect to share, so whip it up for your next party or cookout!

Every time I share a recipe on social media that starts with a cake mix, I get someone commenting something along the lines of: It’s not baking if you use a boxed mix!

I’m here to tell you that it is baking. You end up with a delicious cake or cupcakes or cookies…tell me how that isn’t baking?

There are tons of reasons why someone might choose to bake with a mix, and all of them are valid. Whether they are a beginner baker, are short on time, or don’t have the dexterity to measure out a ton of ingredients, it doesn’t matter.

Baking with a cake mix is still baking. And it’s delicious!

This chocolate chip bundt cake is just one example of how you can start off with a mix and end up with a cake that no one would guess came from a boxed mix. The final cake is moist and delicious and super decadent with all of the mini chocolate chips and the chocolate ganache glaze.

So if you’re looking for an easy bundt cake that everyone will love? You’ve found it.

Have you guys been to the store to buy eggs lately?

If you have, you know that the prices are absurd. You know it’s bad when even the eggs at Aldi are expensive.

Lucky for all of us, today’s recipe is perfect for anyone trying to save a buck by avoiding eggs and for making for your Valentine.

Although it’s only mid-August, my social feeds are full of pumpkin and apple recipes already and I’m over here like, can we just enjoy the last couple of weeks of summer?

While I can’t get behind the pumpkin recipes just yet (gimme two weeks), I can totally get behind the zucchini recipes, especially when my neighbors passed along two of them straight from their garden last week. 

This chocolate zucchini cake is rich and delicious and I promise you, even my zucchini-hating husband had no idea it was packed with over 2 cups of freshly grated zucchini!

You can frost it, drizzle on a simple ganache, or even dust it with powdered sugar and serve it alongside fresh berries.
