Continue ReadingThis delicious, sinfully moist and rich cake will be a sure favorite! I used Lactaid milk for all of the milk in this recipe, and regular butter, but according to Wikipedia, people with severe lactose intolerance may still be able to tolerate fermented or clarified butter. There is also the option of using sticks of dairy-free margarine […]
Continue ReadingThis recipe comes from JustAPinch.com’s Mom’s Chocolate Decadent Cake by Sheila Senghas, with a couple of minor changes.

Continue ReadingYes, I know it is an awfully flat souffle. I freely admit that this is my first try at a souffle and I over-folded the egg whites, hence no-pouffy 🙁 Hindsight is 20/20 and now I know better… I also think I baked it at temp too low and for too long, I am open […]
