My Favorite Chocolate Cake

April 3, 2022 by Whisk Kid

I’m working on finessing a couple back-pocket recipes that are easier for me to sub in for other recipes. I’ve learned recently that I’m firmly in the camp of oil cakes; butter-based ones just don’t have the springy crumb I’m after. Ina’s chocolate cake (AKA Beatty’s Chocolate Cake) is a recent favorite; one that dethroned…

Rhubarb & Cardamom Layer Cake

May 18, 2018 by Whisk Kid

I can’t drink, thanks to my new meds, which has robbed me of what I would consider a vital element to my relaxation equation. What can I say? I’m a Flannery. Booze is important. As a result, I’ve been looking for other ways to keep my hands busy. I’ve been doing more baking than you’ve seen here,…

Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake

April 17, 2018 by Whisk Kid

Often — fortunately — I’ll get over it. Sometimes, however, I wait myself…

Treats were reserved for special occasions — including surprise trips for Superman Ice Cream…
