Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge (No Bake)

April 1 2 Comments

When I was a kid, my mom used to make chocolate fudge for us all the time. She would mix condensed milk with Horlicks, Bournvita or Drinking Chocolate, whatever she had on hands. And then add lots of nuts! I would always get to lick the bowl and enjoy some even before it set in the refrigerator :D. She would then divide it equally amongst all three of us :). Our mom has always spoilt us with her brilliant cooking. She can stay in the kitchen for hours and keep cooking treats for us. I think I get my baking […]

Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Cake

March 26 2 Comments

I have always known that Raspberries and Chocolate are amazing together, but so far haven’t been able to grab raspberries at our local stores. Luckily, a friend at work handed me these beautiful candied raspberries the other day. I didn’t think twice about baking this delectable Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Cake. The simple, no-mixer recipe yields a super-moist chocolate chip cake with bursts of raspberries in between. I have baked the Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Cake in a small bundt pan, but the recipe works fine in a loaf tin as well! The recipe yields a buttery-moist Raspberry and Chocolate […]

Snickerdoodle Bread

March 9 6 Comments

Too much of chocolate on the blog already! I sometimes wonder if the name of the blog should have been theloveofchocolate instead :P. I am completely partial for chocolate based desserts! I might as well take this name change seriously sometime! Until then, I have baked this Snickerdoodle bread for you guys. I love the snickerdoodle cookies! And everything else that has cinnamon in it! Cinnamon is such a lovely ingredient for baking. The best part is the warm, heavenly, inviting smell that engulfs the house when you bake something with cinnamon in it. I have been sitting with a […]

The Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles were a healthy start for the new year 2017. But I can’t keep you all healthy for long :P.

Then place whole Kit Kat bars and fit them snugly so that there is a continuous layer of kitkats. Now top with the rest of the brownie batter. Bake. […]

Carrot Coffee Cake

January 22 2 Comments

I am not a Carrot cake person.I will never order it in a bakery. I am a loyal chocolate fan with a complete bias for Chocolate Desserts. I like carrots only in my mom’s gajar ka halwa. But I have been wanting to do something with pumpkins and carrots for a while. Both for the blog and for those of you who like such desserts. See, I am sweet like that :P. The carrots are so fresh and juicy in this season. I would be a fool not to use them now. But I am really not a fan of […]

Tiramisu (Eggless)

December 10 2 Comments

Tiramisu is a popular coffee flavoured Italian dessert. In Italian, Tiramisu means “Pick me up”. The legendary dessert tastes so heavenly that it can actually “Pick you up” from the darkest of slumbers. The refreshing and dreamy tasting Tiramisu is like a Trifle pudding comprising of distinct layers. The bottom layer is formed by espresso coffee soaked ladyfinger biscuits. A fluffy liquor spiked mascarpone cheese and cream mixture forms the next layer. And lastly, cocoa or shaved chocolate makes the final impression! Most traditional Tiramisu recipes use raw eggs in the mascarpone filling to give it a thick and creamy […]

Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake

December 2 No Comments

Any celebrations coming up guys?? This is a perfect cake for all those occasions! The Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake is perfect to embrace the winters too. The two-tier Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake is a delicious blend of dark chocolate and candied cherries that were previously soaked in Brandy for 3-4 days. The layers are then held together with a dark chocolate ganache. And I also wrapped a white chocolate cage around it for some added drama :P. The cake tasted delicious and moist. And the combination of dark chocolate with the brandy soaked candied cherries was just so amazing. […]
