TwD- Blueberry Crumb Cake

Today's recipe was chosen by: Sihan of Befuddlement

First things first... I thought this cake was really good.

I honestly liked it and would probably make it again

using just a little less nutmeg.. I wasn't too crazy 

about that particular flavor.  Other than that 

small detail.. it was fantastic... with coffee as I always

say :)

While making the cake.. I really don't know what 

exactly I was thinking.. that I made the topping 

first.. refrigerated it.. and proceeded to just 

put all of the cake ingredients in the bowl... 

that's not really what the recipe called for.

I was like OMG.. WHAT DID I DO!!!?!?!?

I just totally missed the part where you have to 

add the eggs slowly and the dry ingredients.. and

the buttermilk. Totally missed it. 

There wasn't much I could do at that point so 

I just decided to blend it all together... the batter

got SUPER thick..I thought "that's what I get for

not reading instructions properly" I just kept at it

for a bit more and prayed that it would all be fine.

Well.. my prayers were definitely heard because 

I baked it for about 55 min and LOVED what 

came out of the oven. The cake is simply delicious!

If you haven't tried it yet.. YOU HAVE TO! 

Thanks Sihan for the delicious recipe!

I'm sure they baked delicious cakes :)

TWD- French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze

This Delicious recipe is brought to us by:

Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction

I have to say that I wasn't very happy about 

the lemon thing.But I decided I had to try it 

and ended up loving this cake. 

It's so simple to make.. and has SOOO much 

flavor! I really enjoyed eating it :)   The recipe

is also very easy to make and doesn't ask for any 

hard to find ingredients.. well... it does ask for 

lemon marmalade.. which many people couldn't 

find.. so I like many others, ended up using 

orange marmalade.. which goes fantastic with 

the lemon flavor. The only "tweak" on that was 

that I used 1/4c. of plain yogurt to go with it.. that 

I saw in Ree's blog and it looked and probably 

tasted better than plain marmalade. 

Liliana...thank you for choosing this 

recipe.. I loved it! 

My mother told me to let you know that this 

cake is fantastic. And being the coffee addict 

that I am... it goes great with a cup of coffee 

in the morning :)

My "new" brother in law also liked it a lot.. 

and ate about half of the little cake... jk.. 

maybe a little less.. but I'm glad he enjoyed it . 

Thanks Bere (sis) for helping me with the pics! 

LOVE YOU!

TwD- Devils Food White Out Cake

This week's recipe.. I believe a much anticipated recipe

by many, was chosen by 

Stephanie from Confessions of a City Eater. 

I baked this cake for our New Year's Eve celebration and

got good results. My boyfriends family really enjoyed it

although I'm not sure if they liked it more than the 

Berry Surprise cake.

To tell you the truth I don't remember if I had any issues 

with this cake. The frosting came out perfect and the cake

came out moist and delicious. I thought no one would ever 

pick this cake so I just decided to go ahead and make it and

it's fantastic. 

Hope everyone else enjoyed this cake as much as I did. The 

cake was renamed by my bf's family and is now known as 

"The Oreo cake". They say it looks similar to an Oreo cookie

which is kinda true.

TWD- Berry Surprise Cake

Today's Berry Surprise Cake recipe was chosen by   

Mary Ann from Meet me in the Kitchen. 

A yummy light cake filled with a very berry surprise! 

I have to admit that I was thrilled to make this recipe.

That's before I started making it. I really tried to make 

it work and tried my best to make the bread right since 

I read that many people were ending up with deflated 

cakes.  WELL... let me just tell you that I was NOT the 

exception on this one. My cake was maybe 2 1/2 inches

high. I was sooo disappointed :( .... but how????? I really

did try my best! Oh well... that's life.. and that's how one

learns for next time... OH yeah! NEXT time.. because there

will TOTALLY be NEXT TIME!!! I can honestly say that 

even when I was taking pictures of this cake my heart

was broken.. maybe because I had such high expectations 

for it. I even thought of NOT posting anything today.. but 

after I cut the slice.. took a picture.. and tasted the greatness

of this SUPER ugly but AWESOME tasting cake I was 

in heaven!!!! OH MY GOODNESS! This cake is amazing! 

I live in a border town next to Mexico and there is a place 

in Mexico where they sell this amazing cake that I always 

wanted to try to make...well.. without wanting to, I made 

it. This cake is maybe even better than the one they sell at

that restaurant and I'm so happy to have found the recipe.

I guess I just need to fix whatever I did wrong... and believe

me, I will find out.. if YOU find out please let me know :)

I hope everyone of you enjoyed the cake as much as I did! 

Oh.. and what better way to make a cake look better than 

with some beautiful roses!

The Cover cake.. again!

Well... like I said I was gonna make the cover 

cake from Dorie Greenspan: From My Home

To Yours I tried it again. This time I think I 

got WAY better results than the first try. It 

was also much easier to assemble than last 

time I guess because I actually waited for the 

cake to be completely cool and so it worked 

better for me. 

I took this cake to a New Year's eve get together 

and everyone seemed to like it very much which

was very rewarding. I wish the lighting would have 

been better but I think you can still appreciate 

the cake. Enjoy the pics and I wish everyone a 

Happy New Year!
