Gluten Free Caramel Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Posted on April 5, 2017 by sparecake

A really tasty, light chocolate frosting (which for some reason I left in weirdo lumps??) paired with nice cupcakes. I recommend sticking with mini-cupcakes for these (which gives you about 36), as in full-sized cupcakes the bits sink to the … Continue reading →

Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Cookies (Vegan)

Posted on November 30, 2016 by sparecake

For cookies that only use one dinky banana, these have a real banana punch, which (of course) goes great with chocolate. The banana flavor actually lessens slightly by the second day, allowing all the flavors to shine equally, so they … Continue reading →

Golden Raisin Polenta Cake

Posted on November 23, 2016 by sparecake
