New Recipe for 2017 #22 - Chocolate Brownie Cake

This recipe is from the I Am Baker blog. This cake is rich, moist, and delicious. I love ganache as much as the next person, but I would halve the ganache recipe as the ganache should complement this cake not overwhelm it.

The log bundt cake pan was unable to hold all the batter, so I put the extra batter into a mini loaf pan I have. My friends Chris and Lorian got a mini cake as well as Swedish meatballs last Saturday night.

New Recipe for 2017 #21 - Texas Sheet Cake Cookies

Another delicious recipe from the Cookies & Cups blog. I messed up the frosting, but they still turned out to be delicious. I made them on Saturday, but they tasted better on Sunday.

Yes, I know Texas sheet cake has walnuts, and these cookies have no walnuts. That's fine with me as the walnuts were my least favorite part of Texas sheet cake.

New Recipe for 2017 #20 - Coconut-Almond Brownie Cups

This recipe is from the Betty Crocker Cookies and Bars recipe booklet. I didn't have any Almond Joys in my freezer, but I did have Mound bars, so I used them instead.

These are boring and not a keeper.

New Recipe for 2017 #19 - Chocolate Craving Cake

This recipe comes from the blog I Am Baker, It is a quick and easy cake to make. Plus, it doesn't make a lot of cake. Alas, it was a dry cake and the frosting, while tasty, did not get fluffy. Not even my Kitchen Aid mixer could get it fluffy.

Whole cake. Popped it out of pan and then spread/poured frosting on top

Piece of cake

New Recipe for 2017 #18 - Raspberry-Almond Foldovers

This recipe came from the Betty Crocker recipe booklet "Cookies and Bars". I decided to make them because I had a half a brick of cream cheese in the refrigerator that I had to use up.

These are really boring cookies. They are pretty tasteless.
