This one is a good as it sounds, promise❣️❣️


Hey friends❣️

I'm always excited to share new recipes with you, but this one is extra fun~

Hot Fudge Cake

Hot Fudge Cake is hot fudge sauce poured over the perfect chocolate cake ~ it’s not just a dessert, it’s an experience!

This idea for this fun cake cake hit me early in the week, and by the next afternoon we had a winner. That's because I combined two tried and true recipes in this novel way. The wonderful hot fudge frosting was even better than I expected ~ the texture is perfect, even when it's not piping hot.

Some high concept desserts are just that, a conversation piece. But this one is as delicious as it sounds, hope you try it!

Hot Fudge Sauce

My mother loved hot fudge sudaes. It was probably her favorite thing in the world. and I have vivid memories of her tucking in to bowls of half melted vanilla covered with this stuff. No cherries, no whipped cream, or nuts, just lots of molten chocolate, the hotter and thicker the better. This is her recipe ~ it doesn’t include any corn syrup, heavy cream, or cocoa powder, and the secret to its rich silky texture may surprise you.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

pound cake

Hey friends❣️ If you only master one baking recipe I think the perfect pound cake would be a great choice :) Perfect Pound Cake Pound cake is a pretty straightforward combination of butter, flour, eggs and sugar, but within that framework there's a surprising amount of wiggle room. I tried several different variations before I settled on the best. It's soft, fragrant, and moist. (I hate it when a cake dries out minutes after I slice it.) I doubled down on the vanilla using my homemade vanilla...

biscuits

Hey friends❣️ I had fun sifting through the Great Island archives for the most popular recipes from the months of April ~ from 2011 all the way up through 2025. April faves start off strong with delicious biscuits made with an interesting folding method ~ have you tried that yet? It really does make the most amazing layers! I think they'd be perfect with your Easter ham. Sometime this month the rhubarb's gonna hit your supermarket and you're going to want to have my rhubarb butter recipe...

French apple galette

Hey friends❣️ How about a day trip to France? Rustic French Dessert Recipes If the mere mention of French desserts conjures up the 3 “Fs” ~ FUSSY, FANCY, and FINICKY, think again. Unlike the intricate pastries in elegant patisseries, my homemade treats focus on taste over perfection. Like my apple galette, above, where caramelized apples and buttery pastry come together in a perfectly imperfect way. These desserts invite you to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the process, imperfections and...
