Will You Be Making This Creamy Cake For Your Sunday Brunch?

Are you tired of that same old cake recipe you keep making year after year, for all the special occasions? I know I was, and that’s why I was so happy when I first came across this awesome recipe. This is not your ordinary cake recipe; this one combines flavors from three of my favorites; Tres Leches cake, coconut cake and lime cake.

Sounds like it’s going to be complicated, right? Wrong! This cake is very easy to put together, which makes it perfect for parties and those times when you’re serving a larger crowd. Making two of these is not going to take much longer than making just one of them – and I guarantee you’re going to wish you had some leftovers!

I intend to serve this for Thanksgiving meal this year, and probably many times over the holidays! However, since you only need a few ingredients for this and they are pretty easy on your wallet, I’m sure I will be making this year ’round, “just because”!

The 1950’s were the golden era of recipes, if you ask me!

Let me be perfectly honest with you; I am a recipe freak. I mean that in the most positive way! I love collecting all kinds of recipes and I’m always ready to try something completely new and modern.

But there is a part of me that can never let go of those old staples – you know, the ones that have been around since you were a child. Occasionally I tweaks these old family favorites a little, just to see if they will turn up even more delicious with a modern twist.

And sometimes they do! I’ve come up with the most brilliant meals just by throwing in some new flavors, respecting the original recipe. But there are some recipes that you really should leave alone. This bread pudding is one of them! It is so perfect just the way it is that I don’t dare try tweaking it the slightest bit.

This is a recipe I found years ago, when my mother and I were trying to recreate grandma’s bread pudding. Sadly, we lost her original recipe when she passed, but this one is as close to it as it gets!

Quick Tip: If you’re serving this to children, vanilla sauce works really well!

My mother was practically born to bake. She is so good at it we’ve often told her she should set up her own bakery! She likes to experiment with different recipes – sometimes she sees a recipe on TV or a magazine and she’ll make something similar, but with her own ingredients. She has made the most beautiful and decorative cakes and pastries for family gatherings, but to her it’s always about the flavor. If she makes a cake and it doesn’t taste good enough, she’ll throw it away.

It’s a bit of a surprise that this easy-to-make cake is one of her favorites. I mean, the ingredients are so simple and the method couldn’t be easier. But that’s where the flavor comes in! This is one of the tastiest cakes on the planet, according to my mother, and she really knows about cakes. That’s why I knew I couldn’t fail with this recipe – and she was absolutely right!

I’ve made this cake several times already, since Mom found it over at Can’t Stay Out Of The Kitchen. It always turns out delightful and I can barely wait until the next time again!

This Peach Homemade Ice Cream will make the perfect dessert for any occasion! What makes it amazing is that you no longer need eggs or cooking and it is still so delicious. You can easily just mix all of your ingredients together and you won’t believe how wonderful the end result will be.

My family loves desserts, that’s why wanted to try this homemade ice cream. I am so happy that it’s not too complicated to make and actually fits my busy schedule pretty well! When the children are running around the house, I just serve them this Peach Homemade Ice Cream and they would just behave. My whole family truly enjoyed this! That is why I always make this ice cream for special parties or when the weather is really hot. You’ll love the taste of peaches and the creamy flavor.

If you’re more of a brownie lover than a cake person, then you’ll find these German chocolate brownies are your weakness! These brownies remind me of my grandma, she used to always make a version of this growing up.

Simpler than you think to make, you don’t need any unusual hard-to-find ingredients. Just the basics! Be sure you do have caramel bits on hand and flaked coconut, they are a necessity. This recipe makes a 9×13 pan and is ready in 20-25 minutes. Bring these to your next pot-luck and it’ll be the highlight of the night.

Even though this is as easy as buying in the store, there is nothing like a homemade french onion dip….especially when it contains crunchy caramelized onions.  Try this creamy dip once, and you’ll be hooked.

This recipe serves about 8 people and the total time to make it is a little over an hour (you have to cook the onions).  The longer you refrigerate this before serving, the firmer and tastier it will be.
