Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.


From Deb. I subbed 2 eggs and a cup of water for the cup of oil, an alternative to applesauce or melted butter. I didn't have 8" pans which I have no discovered is pretty critical as 6-7" Pyrex dishes are not as well suited. The cake turned out a bit sponge-y, firm skins, and not as moist as I would have liked. I was a little short on the peanut butter but the frosting turned out well enough.

Mexican Monkey Cake.


Sourced from Farmgirl. I was actually little disappointed by this recipe. I was expecting something more like monkey bread, but it's basically just a banana walnut bread with way too much chocolate and sugar. Oh, and the "Mexican" is just the addition of some cinnamon.

Orange and Vanilla Yogurt Cake.


Had the idea since I had some vanilla yogurt that was past its best-by date but still sealed and some oranges. I mixed recipes sourced from two new blogs, here and here. I ended using one stick of butter and two full eggs to two cups of flour, only a cup of sugar, a cup or so of vanilla yogurt, and only one orange. In retrospect, I would have used the zest of two oranges. Bake time was probably closer to 45 or 50 minutes.

I tried to do something with the chocolate chips but it didn't pan out.

Strawberry Cake and Muffins.



Sourced from here and here. I'm still working out the ratios for cake. 4:2:1, flour, sugar, butter, and a lot more eggs than I would think? 2:1, baking powder and baking soda. A cup of strawberry puree and preserves.

Carrot Cake.


Finally got around to using the carrots that had been sitting in my fridge for about a month. Referenced a few sources, but mainly Elise. Buttercream frosting. Was a hit with everybody and got a marriage proposal. Not the healthiest thing, but...carrots?

ADDENDUM: Freezes just fine.
