Melt In Your Mouth Blueberry Cake

Posted on July 29, 2020 by sparecake

Another one from the Amish cookbook, but this time not enough to feed 800 people at once. Actually, they say it’s often served crumbled into milk, so if you’re eating it alone, slowly enough that it got stale, you could … Continue reading →

Honey Garlic Shrimp

Posted on July 22, 2020 by sparecake

First time in 4 years that shrimp have made it on the blog! Sounds about right, for how often I eat them, but this was good enough, and quick enough, I could see doing it again a lot sooner than … Continue reading →

S’Mores Pie

Posted on July 15, 2020 by sparecake

I had a marshmallow meringue pie topping saved from a cookbook I’d borrowed a while ago that I wanted to try, and it’s 1 billion degrees so the pie needed to be no-bake… getting chocolate peanut butter seemed like a … Continue reading →

A smattering of things

Posted on July 1, 2020 by sparecake

Going to share a few things that maybe aren’t worth their own posts today. First up: Spice Cabinet Chicken Rub Am I kind of sharing this just because I’m pleased I finally found a use for the MSG I bought … Continue reading →

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on June 24, 2020 by sparecake

So, first off, ‘outrageous’ was part of the title in the cookbook I got this from, it’s not my personal judgement. Secondly, this cookbook was an Amish cookbook, and the Amish don’t seem to mess around with volume of food. … Continue reading →

Fluffernutter Pie

Posted on June 17, 2020 by sparecake

If you’re not from New England, there’s a fair chance you haven’t had a fluffernutter (peanut butter and fluff) sandwich before. That’s sad for you! Once you try it, you’ll be looking to have that flavor, and fluff in general, … Continue reading →

Ice Cream Sandwiches

Posted on June 3, 2020 by sparecake

Summer is here (except for the days when it feels like it’s not?) so it’s time for ice cream! The ice cream recipe itself allows for a lot of variations for personal preference, and then once frozen it stays soft … Continue reading →

Fast Crusty Bread

Posted on May 27, 2020 by sparecake

Where I found this, they called it “no-time” bread, which I think sounds stupid, but “quick bread” is already its own separate type of baked good, so…fast bread? Sure! This bread goes from “hmm I want some bread” to ready … Continue reading →

Chocolate Glazed Cake

Posted on May 20, 2020 by sparecake

I bought ingredients for last week’s layered chocolate dessert knowing I’d need to use up some cream and the chocolate syrup, so it was a 2-dessert plan, along with this cake. It was, I’m going to say, a very good … Continue reading →

Chocolate Syrup Layered Dessert

Posted on May 13, 2020 by sparecake

A surprisingly light chocolate dessert, this seems like maybe it should be chocolate cheesecake-y, but it’s not nearly so dense as that, even without counting the whipped cream layer. Good, though!! Ingredients: Crust: 60 Nilla Wafers (regular sized), crushed 1/3 … Continue reading →
