Vegan Oreo Cupcakes

Disclaimer: If you are a strict vegan, Oreos may have had milk cross-contact. In this instance, this recipe is not for you.

Vegan Oreo cupcakes! Yes, you read right, vegan cupcakes. You may wonder why I am posting a vegan Oreo cupcake recipe. Well, the thing is that this vegan Oreo cake is one of my most popular blog entries. If you like a layer cake, you may also like vegan Oreo cupcakes, that’s what I figured.

Vegan Oreo Cake

So I started looking for a good vegan cupcake recipe, which I found here. I added some chocolate chunks for good measure. And then I wanted to use Ermine frosting. That’s frosting prepared with a flour base to thicken the butter/margarine and make it pipable. I used the non-vegan option in these lavender cupcakes and also in order to frost a cute cookie monster on this non-vegan cookie cake. Ermine frosting is slowly becoming my favorite frosting as it is not as sweet and, as you can see here, also is great for vegan buttercream. This time I decided to use a real vanilla bean (yes, they are expensive) to get really nice vanilla flavor.

Coffee Shop Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Caramel and Sea Salt

Cookies are my weakness. Every time I pass a bakery, I have to quickly check whether there are any cookies on display. Peanut butter and chocolate chunk cookies are one of my favorites. Especially if combined with caramel and sea salt. So I decided to create my own version of this coffee shop classic!

If you use my recipe, you will get about 12 cookies. They are large. Bakery-style. Obviously you can make them smaller, but be sure to check baking time if you do. And believe me, one cookie will satisfy your cravings. They are so thick and full of chocolate and caramel, you won’t regret having made them. Continue Reading…

Chocolate Layer Cake with Raspberry Curd and Chocolate Ganache

Friends, I didn’t post a chocolate recipe in a while. That’s a shame. Chocolate is good any time of the year. So therefore I decided to create a really chocolaty layer cake. May I introduce this chocolate layer cake with raspberry curd and chocolate ganache? You will not regret taking a bite of it, I promise.

Guest post: German chocolate cookie sandwich (cold dog) from Nina from Törtchen- Made in Berlin

I am so excited today to share this post with you as Nina from the blog Törtchen – Made in Berlin (cupcakes made in Berlin) is sharing a very German recipe with us here. As you can see from my very long blog title, it is close to impossible to translate this treat I ate so often as a child. Literally translated the dish is called “cold dog.” Why this is the case, I haven’t been able to find out other than it is done cold, so with no baking, but what I can assure you is that this is one of my favorite things to eat. I do distinctly remember licking my fingers after getting a piece and being very excited about the high amount of chocolate after each bite. Because, you know, chocolate is always great!

Happy Holidays with these Chocolate Star Cookies!

So, how is your cookie intake? Are you already done with them for 2017? In case you didn’t know, Germans have a special name for the cookies you bake during the holidays. They are called “Plätzchen” whereas everyday cookies are “Kekse”. Does tell you something about how important cookies are during the holiday season, doesn’t it? Two words for cookies, the boring normal ones and the fancy ones for the holidays. And since I love cookies (any for that matter), the holiday season is perfect for a cookie monster like me. Welcome to the Chocolate Star Cookie. This cookie is the star of the sweet combination of vanilla and chocolate – in all its glory.

For Christmas: Chocolate Mousse Cherry Cake

Warning, this is again a recipe that requires time. At least the chocolate mousse part takes its time. However, the good news is that you can prepare this beauty well in advance as it freezes up nicely. So how about a last minute change in the Christmas menu? Can I interest you in a rich and creamy cake, which combines the best parts of chocolate with cherry? I invented it for my birthday originally. And for that reason you get your heavy load of chocolate and also fruit. Because that’s me. Rich chocolate already in the pie pastry, a thick cherry filling and rich chocolate mousse to top it off with, so delicious and perfect for any special occasion!

Super Moist and Chocolaty Bundt Cake with Beetroot

Chocolate and beetroot? I had read before that beetroot is supposed to make a chocolate cake great. I haven’t tried that yet, but thought I would give it a shot. I mean, it does sound weird, I give you that, but if it really is as moist and delicious as people have claimed, I wanted to give it a go. So I finally got around to making a very chocolaty bundt cake and this time I wanted to see whether beetroot really could work its magic on it.

Molten Lava Cake: Feeling Cozy (with Video)

Can I confess something? I am a chocoholic and for that reason have an entire only chocolate category on this blog. I really don’t care, be it summer or winter, I will happily eat chocolate. Except for white chocolate. I don’t know why, but we simply don’t get along. But offer me any of its siblings and I am in. Be it milk chocolate or chocolate with 85% cocoa, I will eat it. I would say that my consumption of chocolate isn’t lower in summer, rather, it is higher in fall and winter. You can easily find me with something chocolaty in my hand while snuggling under a blanket. Chocolate is soulfood!

Vegan Chocolate Cake with Oreo Chocolate Cream Filling

Did you know that Oreos are vegan? I didn’t. I always assumed that Oreos contained some kind of milk product. For that reason I was more than happy when I learned that Oreos indeed are vegan and can be used in vegan recipes. Today I invited Ramona to create a guest blog post as I am still trying to catch up after a long holiday in Colombia (and yes, you will find some new Colombian recipes here very soon!). In my opinion she has brought along some super interesting recipe. Let’s give the floor to her:
