Warm Brownie Pudding Cake/Lhj
COMMENT: What makes this dessert so irresistible? As it
bakes, a pudding sauce forms beneath the cake layer.
Cocoa-based and made without eggs, its an old-fashioned
treat that should be served with a dollop of whipped cream or
vanilla ice cream and a big spoon.
Orange Cheesecake & Strawberries
Lighter orange-scented cheesecake made with cottage cheese and Neufchatel, baked on a cinnamon vanilla wafer crust and crowned with fresh strawberries and orange sections. Brighter than classic.
Oatmeal Orange Lace Cookies
Thin, crispy oatmeal lace cookies with orange zest and shredded coconut. Made with lard for extra-crisp edges that spread paper-thin during baking.
Collector's Cocoa Cake
Classic cocoa layer cake with a tender crumb from the creaming method, ready for your favorite frosting. Swap water for coffee to deepen the chocolate flavor. A reliable two-layer cake in under an hour.
Peanut-Chocolate Fluff Fudge
Two-layer peanut butter and chocolate marshmallow fluff fudge. A classic stovetop candy with a soft peanut butter base topped with a rich cocoa layer, cut into squares when set.
Chef's Scones
Golden, buttery scones studded with raisins or blueberries, baked to a crisp top and tender center. A bakery-scale recipe that scales down easily for home baking.

Soft chocolate drop cookies with cream cheese baked right into the dough and crunchy walnuts in every bite. The cream cheese keeps them tender and slightly tangy for days.
No Bake Peanut Butter Drops
No-bake peanut butter chocolate drops with melted semi-sweet chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. A 5-ingredient fudgy candy that sets in the fridge with zero oven time.
Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Poundcakes

Honey Lemon Sponge Cake(Kastutera)
Honey lemon sponge cake is a take on Japanese castella (kasutera): a tall, springy, honey-sweetened sponge brightened with lemon. Whipped eggs alone give it lift, no butter needed, for a delicate, fine-grained crumb.
Sawmill Cake
Sawmill cake with no eggs and no dairy, just cocoa, vinegar, and margarine for a moist, dark chocolate sheet cake. The Depression-era one-bowl dessert born from pantry shortages.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Drops
No-bake peanut butter drops with oats, walnuts, and coconut. Boil the base for 3 minutes, stir in everything else, drop, and cool. A stovetop cookie that skips the oven entirely.
Cocoa Espresso Pudding Cake
A self-saucing cocoa espresso pudding cake that creates its own hot fudge layer as it bakes. Boiling water poured over the batter before baking does all the work. Serve warm for 6 to 8.
Nell's Banana Cake
Three-layer Southern banana cake with mashed ripe bananas folded into a buttermilk batter. Topped with confectioner's sugar frosting and chopped pecans for a true heirloom finish.
Helen's Holiday Float
