Spiced Muscovado Chocolate Sheet Cake

Sugary & Buttery - Spiced Muscovado Chocolate Sheet Cake

Everyone should have a quick and easy chocolate sheet cake recipe on hand and this one is my absolute favorite. Why? Because it has a rich chocolate flavor, is suuuuuper easy, has simple ingredients, and the texture is super spongey and fluffy. Which is not always the case with one-bowl cake recipes. And best of all, I swapped the brown sugar for muscovado sugar and I am telling you, I am never going back! I also added some cinnamon and a hint of cardamom… I just can’t help it this time of year!…

Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake - Sugary & Buttery

Moist (and gluten-free) hazelnut cake meets creamy chocolate frosting! This might be my most favorite layer cake EVER. And it might be a bit embarrassing but I made this cake way back when I was still pregnant, I just did not have time to edit the photos yet. So its been sitting on my drive this whole time and I totally forgot how beautiful and delicious it had turned out! Hazelnuts are my absolute favorite nuts and in combination with chocolate: HEAVEN. Maybe its because I grew up with Nutella. Or because it just is a simply dang good combo. I’d say try for yourself!

But it just happened and I am so glad I did. Now I’m back to work and back to baking and blogging, just in time for Valentine’s! …

Sea Salted Chocolate Tahini Cups

Sea Salted Chocolate Tahini Cups - Sugary & Buttery

I have been making these for a couple of months now, filled with either peanut butter, almond butter (my least favorite) or tahini, and I thought I just had to post this not so traditional yet super delish version – Sea Salted Chocolate Tahini Cups! Unlike chocolate cups filled with peanut butter, the tahini stays creamy and runny when stored in the fridge. So when you bite into the chilled, rich chocolate crust and the creamy tahini runs out and everything melts in your mouth, the chocolate and the sea salt flakes… it’s just heaven. …

Chocolate Honey Granita

Sugary & Buttery - Chocolate Honey Granita

Temperatures here in Texas have been in the 90s for quite a while and ‘finally’ reached the 100F mark last week. What better time to make popsicles… lots of popsicles (which I will also post soon), and some granita! My daughter is obsessed with making (and eating) popsicles and even prefers them over ice cream. Which is great because its a lot easier to make and there are so many fun, delicious and healthy options. I personally love granitas, which is in a way a different form of serving popsicles… well, kind of. I sometimes use the same mixture and instead of pouring it in the popsicle mold, I freeze some and make a granita. I just love the airy refreshing texture of it…. nothing better on a hot day. What I love about these is that they are made with raw honey, so no processed sugars, much better for you and so much yummier….
