Double Chocolate Slab Pie

Posted on April 1, 2026 by sparecake

A real delicious one, that I’ve made twice in the last 3 weeks. Technically I only made half batches both times, because the full recipe makes an 18×13″ pan, if you’re baking for a huge crowd. Cutting the recipe in … Continue reading →

It’s been a while since I’d made something with such a big gap between attractiveness and tastiness, but this is a quicky lumpy mess of delicious! In theory you can make this into individual (lumpy) cookies, but I really think … Continue reading →

Not so much a recipe this week as a suggestion of past recipes to throw together quite successfully. I recommend making this yellow cake as 2 9″ rounds, then (once cooled) slicing them in half horizontally. Spread 1/3 of a … Continue reading →

First things first: Why is it called that? No idea! Mostly a pavlova situation, you’ll make a meringue and serve with fruit and Cool Whip, which is a delightful combo! If you’re not already aware – it’s easier to separate … Continue reading →

Chocolate Mousse

Posted on November 19, 2025 by sparecake

Some very nice chocolate mousse that I put into white chocolate bowls. The bowls were enough hassle/not nice enough that I don’t think they’re worth recreating, but the mousse is a keeper! Ingredients: 5 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate, … Continue reading →

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches

Posted on November 5, 2025 by sparecake

Pretty non-seasonal, but very enjoyable – ice cream sandwiches using cookie dough as the outsides. You could certainly make your own ice cream, but buying ice cream brings this one down to minimal hands-on time, which is nice. Technically raw … Continue reading →

A good recipe for finishing out several bags of whatever’s been lurking in your chocolate chip bin/pile/cabinet, and really delicious when done! These did take me quite a while (~2 hours from start to dishes washed?) with all the messing … Continue reading →
