Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Finally the heat wave is gone, it is rainy and cold and I can turn on the oven again, yay! Finally! So I decided to give these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies another go. Cookies are the best example of “ROI”, return on investment, you have to invest very little time and money for a wonderful result, cookies have the best ROI in my opinion. This is the cookie monster speaking. Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, I did work in HR of a consulting company for a few years, I guess their lingo did rub off a little… So are you in for these simple and delicious cookies?

Chocolate Zucchini Cake for my Birthday

This chocolate zucchini cake was served for my birthday a few days ago. Of course I made it myself. Everybody who knows me is aware that I am a huge chocoholic. There is a reason I have a separate chocolate category on my blog. For my birthday I wanted a rich and decadent chocolate cake. Since it is zucchini season right now, why not make a chocolate zucchini cake? However, this time I decided against combining chocolate with a fruit. The most traditional of course being with raspberries. It does not surprise me that the raspberry chocolate cake has been clicked on more than 220,000 times. I have also another popular banana chocolate cake on my blog. If you are interested to learn what I have made for previous birthday check this out. Spoiler: each year I try something different and almost always it is going to be with chocolate. This year I wanted chocolate flavor, so I decided to fill this cake with a chocolate frosting. So creamy and so good, I think it is worth each and every calorie!

Let’s start November with Chocolate Fudge with Peanut Butter Swirl

I have decided to theme November: gifts from the kitchen. I really enjoy gifting people with homemade baked goods. I often gift these cute animal cookies; since the last birth was a girl, I made some pink elephants and carried them in a jar (see the picture below). Another good gift is dulce de leche, caramel made from sweetened milk. Today we are going to make fudge with peanut butter swirl and salted peanuts. I made the fudge in a frying pan, so it didn’t take that long. The fudge pictured below was wrapped in parchment paper and then shipped out of the country. Yes, you can ship it and it will keep.

Small Three-Tiered Chocolate Wedding Cake

Today I have a small three-tiered chocolate wedding cake for 10-12 people for you. This is a chocolate cake, which is filled with blackberry cream and frosted with a delicious chocolate frosting. I decorated it with fresh blackberries (duh), figs, and rosemary sprigs. I wanted to do three tiers even though there were few guests because I find it looks prettier than one plain cake. As the wedding took place at the end of September, I wanted to make sure to use seasonal ingredients and for it to taste like fall. Other than the wedding cake with chocolate drip, this one would remain plain, the main feature it being a chocolate wedding cake. I knew I was going to decorate it with fresh fruit and herbs of the season.

Chocolate Layer Cake with Raspberry Curd

Chocolate layer cake with raspberry curd, who wants a piece? Anybody who knows me, knows that I am a huge chocolate lover. Yes, I do have an entire section just dedicated to chocolate. Check out my chocolate category to get you transported to chocolate heaven. As my birthday is approaching soon and as some states here in Germany will start school soon again, I decided to present a real decadent cake again. Yes! I know, I know, at least for my standards I have tried to cut back on too many cakes this year. So far I have presented Sachertorte, a strawberry chocolate cake and a lemon sponge cake with cranberry filling. That is basically a cake every second month, which isn’t too much for my standards. But let’s get back to this delicious chocolate layer cake.

Probably you are not going to believe me when I say that it was extremely hard for me to narrow down the list of chocolate recipes and reduce them to 20 only. Yes, I am a chocoholic, day or night, summer or winter, I will happily eat chocolate. Chocolate for breakfast, why not? It doesn’t come as a surprise that I have a full chocolate category on my blog. Today I am presenting 20 of my favorite chocolate recipes, simply, because I am celebrating this entire week with other bloggers I invited to make something with chocolate for me. I am celebrating that I don’t have premanent damage after my bike accident five years ago. Despite brain bleeding, a concussion, and a tooth I cut in half. Today, April 23, marks the day when I had the accident. I celebrate every year, with you and other bloggers. If you would like to learn more about the accident and my fifth anniversay, please check this blog post.

I am also excited that at least five of below recipes are among the top 10. Apparently I am not the only one who loves chocolate.

Which one is your favorite?

Layer Cakes and Cupcakes

Raspberry chocolate cake

Super moist chocolate cakes and a fruity raspberry filling, which isn’t too sweet and also not as heavy as buttercream. Many of you made this cake and love it as much as I do. I published a similar recipe recently as German bakers prefer sponge cake as the base- Please find that recipe here.

Black forest cake

This classic German cake in its very classic version. Chocolate sponge, lots of cherry filling, and whipping cream plus chocolate shavings.

Decadent Nutella Chocolate Cake

Finally, this is a chocolate and Nutella lover’s dream come true. Decadent, delicious, and so, so good! It may be rather small in diameter (18cm/7inches), but my, my, my. As this is a very tall cake (14cm), you can serve very small pieces and still serve a crowd. Let me introduce you to a chocolate cake with Nutella filling and frosting and a lot of blueberries.
