By Nicole Rufus From TheKitchn.com I don’t know if I’ve ever had as much fun developing a recipe as I did with this confetti gooey butter cake, which is inspired by the classic Midwestern dessert. The abundance of rainbow sprinkles largely contributes to the fun factor, but I have to say that eating the cake…
The Family Table: A Labor of Love From a Farm Wife With ‘a Heart of Gold’
Submitted by Susan Schmid-Burton, Texas My siblings and I collaborated on a family cookbook in 2010 and self-published it in 2011. It is our family history told in the language of food—our family recipes. I am submitting one of my entries to share with my fellow Epoch Times readers across this nation and the world. My…
California Walnut Cake Is a Seriously Simple Dessert
Many people are surprised to learn that California walnuts account for 99 percent of the commercial U.S. supply and two-thirds of the world supply. Personally, I love the toasty, creamy flavor that walnuts deliver in desserts. I once came upon this cake idea, combining olive oil and walnuts. Olive oil in a cake? Why not?…
Refreshing Ice Cream Cake Is Perfectly Patriotic
Upon moving to America, it took me a second to understand and appreciate red velvet cake. I’ve never experienced a cake or any dessert whose “flavor” and the name solely depend on the addition of artificial food coloring. Once you look beyond its color, though, it’s a mild-tasting chocolate cake with a truly velvet texture….
Mississippi Mud Cake Makes Marshmallows the Star
We don’t use marshmallows as much as we should. They’re often reserved for cereal bars, like in delicious cookies-and-cream Rice Krispies treats or for cups of hot chocolate. But I’m here to say that we need more marshmallows! I’ve shared my recipe for Texas sheet cake on TheKitchn.com previously; I make it all the time, because it’s both easy to…
A Frugal Solution for the Heartbreak of Melted Ice Cream: Cake!
Some people are born frugal. They come into the world with a bent to use it up, wear it out, and do without. Not me. I arrived with an overly developed spendthrift gene. Frugality is a learned behavior and way of life I have chosen. And I learn something new nearly every day. Take melted…

A man who walked into a bakery, determined to pay for his wife’s birthday cake early since he was scheduled for a risky surgery, never expected the kind and overwhelming response he would receive. 73-year-old Keith Hall walked into Cupcake Café on St. Joe Plaza Drive in Palm Coast, Florida, in late February to pre-book a…

Key Lime Layer Cake Brings Sunshine to Your Table
Key lime pie gets all the spotlight, but this key lime cake hits all the right notes. It plays on the sweet and tart flavors in key lime pie, but infuses them into a fluffy cake and a not-too-sweet cream cheese frosting. The cake layers get their velvety and tender texture through the reverse creaming…
The Family Table: Adventures of an Irresistible Chocolate Cake
Submitted by Donald Peterson, Wisconsin The events with the chocolate cake with Kahlua began in July 2006. My wife Lorraine and I were conversing with Lil and Ola, and the subject of baking came up. I mentioned a sour cream coffee cake, and Lil mentioned a recipe from Elroy. It sounded good, so I asked…
