Baked Chocolate Doughnuts

Published on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Erin (Chick & Co.)2 Comments

Hey There!

After viewing our cabinets in search of chocolate and not finding much, I decided to bake something mega chocolatey – and then I remembered we haven’t had doughnuts in a while. 😉 I used this Baked Chocolate Donuts Recipe, and it is phenomenal! I made these doughnuts Gluten-free, as I do with all of my baked goods, and the chocolate flavor masked the taste of the GF flour really well. The consistency of the doughnut was perfect: fluffy, but still thick. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone with a major love for chocolate! 😛

I used the glaze recipe included, and it was delicious!

I had loads of fun decorating them!

In the end, they taste amazing – you can’t go wrong with such a high concentration of chocolate! 😉😋

Coffee Cake

Published on August 14, 2019 by Erin (Chick & Co.)8 Comments

Hey There!

When I bake, I normally make desserts, such as layered cakes or cupcakes. But sometimes it’s nice to have some baked goods in the morning for breakfast. I was perusing Blog of All Trades and came across this Coffee Cake Recipe. The Cake pictured made my mouth water! It is delicious – the cake was light and fluffy without being too sweet, the crust on top was amazing, and the glaze was foolproof. My family and I enjoyed eating some for breakfast with a cup of milk!

I made my coffee cake Gluten Free, due to some allergies in my family. This cake expertly masked the GF flour taste that comes out sometimes in baked goods. This cake is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or bringing to someone’s house! ❤

I also got to test out some new baking supplies! 😉

Applesauce Rose Cake

Published on July 31, 2019July 30, 2019 by Erin (Chick & Co.)6 Comments

I love the flavor and moisture applesauce brings to baked goods. When I made Applesauce Cookies, they were tasty and had a wonderfully soft texture. Inspired by this delicious snack, I made a layer cake that tastes apple-y and scrumptious with a terrific moist texture. 🙂

I recently got a rose piping tip, and wanted to try it out on my cake. I positively LOVE how the flowers turned out on my cake, and the rose tip was surprisingly easy to use! 😉 My family and I all loved This Cake Recipe – it is a new favorite! ❤ The cream cheese icing included in the cake recipe is delicious: not too sweet with a great creamy texture. I have already been asked to make it again! I had loads of fun making this cake, and look forward to making more flowery cakes in the future.

Chocolate Swiss Roll

Published on June 20, 2019June 19, 2019 by Erin (Chick & Co.)8 Comments

Hey There!

During the fall, I made a Pumpkin Roll, and enjoyed it very much. I don’t have much experience making Swiss rolls, but I wanted to try making another one. That is when I found the recipe for this delicious Chocolate Swiss Roll!

This roll was very easy, all things considered. I need to practice my rolling, but other than that, it worked perfectly! 😛 The cake part had a good consistency, and the icing was perfect – not too sweet, but just sweet enough. My puppy Willie had a fun time taste-testing the icing, too! 😉

I also got a new cake serving plate for my Birthday! I love the pattern, and I think the colors are super cute, too! ❤

Floral Dark Chocolate Cherry Cake

Published on June 15, 2019June 12, 2019 by Erin (Chick & Co.)7 Comments

Hey there! 😉

I love cake decorating, and sometimes I want to bake a simple cake so that I can spend more time on the decorating. I love this Chocolate Cake Recipe, I have used it many many times before… such as for my Chocolate Birthday Cake, Chocolate & Orange Cupcakes, and my Three-Tiered Chocolate Heart Cake. This recipe is foolproof, and super easy.

I used my favorite cream cheese icing recipe, that happens to be included with a Pumpkin Cupcake recipe that I have used several times, too. 😛 I simply omitted the cinnamon, and iced away! 😉

I used some cherry pie filling with a light syrup for some extra fruity flavor. I spread a layer of icing in the middle, a good amount of the cherries on top, then added the second tier.

I also got a turn table for cake decorating, which makes the whole process so much easier! The table came with two icing spreaders and three icing smoothers. They work wonderfully! 😀 I am very happy with how this cake turned out, and highly recommend trying the recipes above!

Coffee Cake Doughnuts

Published on November 20, 2018November 20, 2018 by Erin (Chick & Co.)

Hi there!

I love coffee cake. It is delicious! But unfortunately, due to some family allergies, we don’t eat coffee cake very much. I had just gotten a doughnut pan, and really wanted to use it for something… naturally, I therefore decided to make coffee cake doughnuts! 😛

I made these Gluten-Free, and they tasted delicious! The icing recipe that was included with the Doughnut Recipe was just as delicious. These doughnuts were a hit and super fun to make! 😀

Cakey Sugar Cookies

Published on October 14, 2018October 14, 2018 by Erin (Chick & Co.)7 Comments

Hey there!

I love sugar cookies. Who doesn’t? They taste delicious, and are a classic.

Whenever you walk into the bakery section of the grocery store, there are always several boxes of soft, cakey sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles on top. I wanted to make them for myself, because everything is better homemade. 😉

I found this Soft Cakey Sugar Cookie Recipe at Sally’s Baking Addiction, a great baking website with awesome recipes (like the Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies). I made them Gluten-Free, and they tasted very yummy! I used some leftover icing from my Chocolate Heart Cake, with my all-time favorite Buttercream Icing Recipe, and these cookies went wonderfully with them. These cookies are great for dipping into coffee or tea. I loved these cookies, and I’m sure you will too. 😀

Easy Eggs & Rice Breakfast

Published on September 30, 2018September 29, 2018 by Erin (Chick & Co.)3 Comments

Hey there!

I always seem to have leftover rice from last night’s dinner. So, I came up with a super easy delicious breakfast that uses leftover rice!

Ingredients:

2 Eggs
As much rice as you want — I use about 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup
Butter
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt
Pepper

Go:

Butter the bottom and part of the sides of a microwavable ramekin. Crack your eggs into the ramekin and microwave on high for 35 seconds. Open the door to let some of the heat out. Microwave again on high for about 15-20 seconds, or until both eggs are cooked all the way.
While your eggs are cooking, place rice in a microwavable cup with some butter. Take your eggs out of the microwave (they should be pretty hot) and microwave the rice on high for about 25-30 seconds, or until very warm.
Pour rice over eggs and add cheese, salt and pepper to the top. Stir to let some of the heat out. Let cool before eating. Serve with a glass of milk. Enjoy!
Variations: Try adding cut tomatoes or spinach for a delicious variation! Go wild: you can add pretty much whatever you want.

Blueberry Cake

Published on September 6, 2018September 6, 2018 by Erin (Chick & Co.)4 Comments

Hello!

For a long time, I have had a few bags of frozen fruit in the freezer. I love blueberries, and wanted to bake something with them – Pie? Cookies? Muffins? Cake.

I found this delicious recipe for Blueberry Cake and loved it! This cake is SUPER moist and delicious (thanks to the blueberries), and didn’t taste at all Gluten Free – which is good, because that’s how I made it. 🙂

I had some left-over Lemon icing, so I used it to hold the two layers together*. I then topped it with some powdered sugar, thinking icing would be too heavy. I loved this recipe, and plan to use it to make muffins for breakfast!
