How to Make a Diet Coke Cake (or Any Soda Can Cake, Really)
I can’t be the only one who’s suddenly wanted to make a Diet Coke cake, right? Right?! Well, give me a second to explain myself. I can’t blame Duff Goldman or Cupcake Wars or even Food Network in general for my unbearable desire to get in way over my head (or go full-on kitsch) when…

Toasted Coconut & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are my go-to “feel productive” project. Whenever I’m spinning my wheels or feeling stuck on an issue, I take a break to pull out flour, butter, sugar and eggs, and get mixing. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, in particular, are my specialty — largely because they’re my husband Nate’s favorite, and because I…

Accidentally Awesome Fudge Pecan Pie Bars
When it comes to Thanksgiving pies, only one matters in my family’s household: Chocolate pudding pie. It’s my dad’s specialty; so coveted he has to make two whole desserts (plus several pudding cups) to keep us from stabbing each other with forks, fighting for each morsel. I’m only just barely exaggerating here. The only one…

Coconut Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread
It’s so many things! So many wonderful, lick-your-fingers-and-scoop-up-the-crumbs wonderful things! My all-time favorite banana bread recipe comes with a hearty scoop of shortening, and as delicious as it is, I’m trying to eat a smidge healthier, so I set out to create a lightened-up version. After a few “meh” attempts over the past year, I…

You Need to Try Roasting Peaches This Summer
After a coworker roasted strawberries at Delish, I began to wonder: What other foods taste incredible roasted? Roasting peaches isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but I’d never tried it before, and boy, was I missing out.

The Summer Baking Bucket List
Last week, we shared a list of 21 Things to Do This Summer, and we found ourselves talking a lot about food. (Seriously, we need hobbies that don’t involve eating, but let’s not dwell on that right now.) Longer daylight hours somehow make us feel like there’s more time in our weeknights — perfect for a…

The Most Decadent Banana Pudding Recipe You’ve Ever Tasted
Sex and the City may have made Magnolia Bakery world-renowned for its cupcakes, but anyone who’s been there will tell you the real star of the sweets shop is its banana pudding. It’s lighter, and airier, than the traditional recipe — the texture is more like mousse — and like any respecting Southern banana pudding,…

How to Make an Anti-Gravity Cake
I can’t resist a good prank, joke or pun. When April Fool’s Day rolls around, I love seeing what fake creations Google’s touting, what faux posts Emily Schuman has crafted at Cupcakes and Cashmere, but especially, what fakeout foods people have cooked up. Remember when Family Fun showed you how to make fake chicken drumsticks…

Celebrate Pi Day This Weekend (With Mini Apple Pies)
By far, the most exciting part of middle school math was the hallowed day of March the 14th, when the algebra and pre-algebra teachers would band together to celebrate Pi Day. If you weren’t part of this jubilant festival and have no idea what I’m talking about, essentially this was the day when math instructors everywhere…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Truffle Blossom Cookies
A 2020 PSA: If you can’t find Hershey’s Truffle Kisses, don’t drive yourself crazy searching. This year’s limited-edition Valentine’s Day Hershey’s flavor is a dark chocolate molten lava cake flavor. Which is basically the same thing (and ridiculously delicious on their own). I’ve always been a fan of peanut butter blossoms — you know, those…
