Sinfully Delicious Chocolate Cake Recipes
Chocolate Pound Cake
This chocolate pound cake has a perfect melt-in-your-mouth quality. It has all the classic pound cake ingredients, but it also has cocoa which turns it into a chocolatey masterpiece. A dusting of powdered sugar is all you'll need to add, or go ultra-rich with an option of a fudgey icing.
If you are in search of a classic Chocolate Pound Cake recipe, please keep reading. I'm sharing the recipe and more, including the stories of two blue ribbons. I almost missed them both!
Chocolate Pound Cake wins Blue Ribbon
That's me with my chocolate pound cake (and hubby with his cheesecake). This is actually the second blue ribbon I've won with this recipe. On a whim I decided to enter my chocolate pound cake in the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair in Jacksonville, Florida. But when I made the pound cake it cracked on top (which is actually the bottom when removed from the pan) so I changed my mind and decided NOT to enter. It just wasn't going to be "pretty enough" to win. I KNEW it would taste good enough, but looks count for something too. Then at the last minute my husband convinced me to carefully trim the top (soon to be bottom) of the cake and enter it anyway. So I did, and to my surprise I won a blue ribbon!
History of Chocolate - Who Invented This Tasty Treat?
Who was the inventor of chocolate? Well, you could give credit to many people, from the Olmec, Maya and Aztec civilizations that discovered the cacao bean, to the Dutch inventor who created a press to make cocoa powder, to the Englishman who invented the world's first eating chocolate. And then there are all the other chocolate inventions that have followed.
Tried, Tested and Perfected Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes using Splenda
Like millions of others, I love chocolate, love cookies and love sweets! Unfortunately these wonderful sweet treats come with a price tag - loads of sugar! Being a long-time baker, I always like to try new things and experiment with new recipes, forever in search for something "better". Well thank goodness for Splenda, a great sugar alternative that I can finally use for baking my favorite treats. I have tested several cookie recipes, especially the ones on the Splenda website, but found that I had to modify the ingredients quite a bit. After several tries, guinea pig taste testers and hours of slaving over a hot oven, I have come up with several cookie recipes that I am sharing with you!
