Chocolate Angel Food Cake

This Chocolate Angel Food Cake is light as a feather! I saw it on Trisha Yearwood's TV show and had to make it. It's delightfully light and fluffy and topped with powdered sugar and strawberries.

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake

Hershey’s Chocolate Pound Cake is so moist and delicious, perfect to serve with tea. I was discussing family Christmas traditions with my friend Pam. She said her mother makes this Hershey's Chocolate Pound Cake and that they eat it on Christmas morning. Of course, I made it immediately. This made one bundt cake and 4 mini loaves. Next time, I will line the loaf pans with parchment paper. This cake is so moist and delicious, perfect to serve with tea. Thanks Pam!

Chocolate Pots de Crème

I made this Chocolate Pots de Crème for a dinner party. Warning! It's very rich. You might want to put them into ramekins half the size! Also, I shaved some additional chocolate onto the top.

Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies

Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies are so good. These lacy cookies allow a sneak of melted chocolate-y goodness that’s to come as well as an elegant air to a simple recipe. I find this is the perfect alternative to drab sugar cookies and a great way to enjoy not only the process, but the outcome.

Chocolate Tart

I love the movie Haute Cuisine about Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch who worked in the Élysée Palace as the private chef to French President Francois Mitterrand. Mitterand wanted a chef from the country in the palace to create the kind of food his grandmother would make. The president wanted something other than haute cuisine. This tart is should be called Chocolate Coffee Tart because the coffee plays and equal part in this tart. If the dough is to crumbly, press it into a shallow tart pan with your hands. This recipe actually made 2 tarts. The photo does not do it justice!

Berries With Lemon Crème Fraîche & Dark Chocolate

Berries With Lemon Crème Fraîche & Dark Chocolate

When you are asked to bring dessert to a dinner party and it's too hot to bake anything, this Berries With Lemon Crème Fraîche & Dark Chocolate is the perfect dessert for a hot summer day. Crème fraîche is a soured cream. It is soured with bacterial culture, but is less sour than U.S.-style sour cream, and has a lower viscosity and a higher fat content. It is quite tangy and can be used cold or stirred into hot sauces. If you can't find Crème fraîche, Greek yogurt would be a good substitute.
