Lemon Pudding Cake

Just like a song, a certain food can transport you to a certain moment. This cake makes me think of Easter of 2009…..my son was one and already a master climber (ask me about the loft incident sometime). I had just cut the cake and placed it in the center of the table so I could serve my family. Fast forward about eight seconds later and here is my pantless, diapered bottom, sweet son, attacking the cake. As any good mother would do, I first grabbed my camera before removing him from the cake.

Oh, Jacob!

This cake looks like you spent hours in the kitchen but really this semi homemade cake is a cinch to make and people will love you forever if you make this for them…true story!

This is all you need. Bake cake according to package directions.

Grease cake pans.

Evenly distribute batter between both pans ( a little over two cups per pan).

Once cakes are completely cool ( 2-4 hours) mix pudding mix with 1 1/2 milk for about one minute or until thickened.

Frost each layer with half of pudding mixture and stack.

Frost with whipped topping and refrigerate at least four hours before serving.

Moist, dense, decadence!

Middle of the night refrigerator view….the struggle is real friends!

I hope you enjoy the cake as much as we do. Thanks for visiting!

Nutella Banana Muffins

29 Feb

There are three things in life I adore…Jesus, my family, and Nutella…….clearly I am a girl who has her priorities in order 😉

One of my most requested recipes is this one. Somehow, something magical happens when you bring Nutella and Bananas together……the clouds part, the sun shines, and for a brief moment siblings get along.

So if you know what is good for you, you’ll keep reading for the recipe.

The makings of happiness

Take a minute to mash your bananas well.

Sift your dry ingredients together.

Add the sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg to the bananas.

Don’t be shy with the Nutella!

Bake until they are golden on the outside……..

…and moist and decadent on the inside. Trust me they are worth the calories!

Trick or Treat Bars

by Rebecca Vahdat

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

Keywords: bake Dessert

Ingredients

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup butter (1 stick) melted
1 large egg
1 Cup brown sugar backed
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 Cup peanut butter (make it a generous 1/2 Cup)
1 C flour
1 1/2 Cups of candy (candy bars should be chopped into bite sized pieces)
1 Cup chocolate chips (butterscotch, peanut butter, or your favorite chip)

Instructions

•Directions:

•Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8X8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick baking spray.

•In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter.

•Let the butter cool for one minute. Add the egg, brown sugar, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

•Add the peanut butter and whisk until completely incorporated.

•Add the flour and mix until just combined.

•Add the candy and baking chips and fold to combine.-

•Add the batter to your baking pan and smooth the top.

•Bake 25- 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean ( a few crumbs on the toothpick is also OK). Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to give the bars a chance to set.

*I like to reserve some of the candy and place it on top of the batter before baking. Gives it a nice look and it allows people to see what deliciousness awaits them.

Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

15 Aug

There is something about the words strawberry and cheesecake that just makes my day. So imagine my delight on a recent Pinterest pin-fest that I came across this little gem. So in my usual fashion I decided to make my sweet and sometimes brave family guinea pigs once again. If you are interested in this recipe keep on reading.

This and love is all you need.

Add the yogurt, cool whip, and pudding mix into a bowl and mix well. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

If you made it the whole hour-pat yourself on the back. Add all sliced strawberries, bananas, and marshmallows. Mix well.

Just for the sake of “science” I dished two little scoops on the plate. Portion 1-NO crushed graham crackers. Portion 2-With crushed graham crackers. So what’s the verdict?……..

Two enthusiastic on camera thumbs up and three off camera thumbs up. No graham crackers was the winner.

We really enjoyed it and it couldn’t of been easier! It is best when served fresh . If you would like a little crunch-go ahead and get wild and add some crushed graham crackers on top.

Recipe:

12 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip)

3.4 oz box cheesecake flavored pudding ( don’t add the milk)

3-6 oz strawberry yogurt

1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced

3 bananas, sliced (do this right before serving to prevent browning)

Miniature marshmallows (I used 1/2 the bag)

Thaw whipped topping if frozen. In a large bowl stir together whipped topping, yogurts, and pudding powder. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Wash and slice strawberries. Before serving add strawberries, bananas, and marshmallows. Add crushed graham crackers on top if desired.

Follow me on Pinterest. You know you wanna!
