While my husband was out of town last week ( he was in Arkansas,), I took the kids out to dinner for a treat at Cracker Barrel. We get lonely without Daddy  around, so it's nice to have some fun. During dinner, my middle daughter kept saying how hungry she was, so I let the kids order dessert. She decided on Double Fudge Coca Cola cake with vanilla ice cream. We all got a taste and we fell in love! I found the recipe when we got home and made it. It turned out great. It's so moist and the icing is irresistable. I hope you get a chance to make this one.   Double Fudge Coca Cola Cake (Cracker Barrel Copy Cat)  Ingredients:     1 cup Coca Cola     1/2 cup oil (I used applesauce)     1 stick butter     3 Tblsp. cocoa     2 cups sugar     2 cups flour     1/2 tsp. salt     2 eggs     1/2 cup buttermilk     1 tsp. baking soda     1 tsp. vanilla Frosting:     1 stick butter     3 Tblsp. cocoa     6 Tblsp. cream or milk     1 tsp. vanilla     1 pound (3 3/4 cups) confectioner's sug

So I made these for my husband on Father's Day and let me tell you, it was definitely the highlight of his day (aside from playing with our daughter, of course).  They were surprisingly easy to make, even though the 4 part recipe looks intimidating.  I used muffin pans coated with non-stick spray because I didn't have mini cheesecake pans and they worked out perfectly- I just used a butter knife to loosen the edges and they popped right out (after cooling in the refrigerator for 6 hours).  I also used graham crackers for the crust because that's what I had on hand.  The flavors are absolutely amazing and they look so cute too.  Going to enjoy leftovers in a few minutes :) Recipe >> Mini Lemon Meringue Cheesecakes @ bakedbyrachel.com

A Red Velvet Cake is very dramatic looking with its bright red color that is offset by a creamy white frosting. There are many theories as to its origin. Some say it comes from the South, others say it originated in the North. All we really know is that it has been a favorite for decades, not only in the States but also in Canada (it used to be sold in Eaton's Department Stores). It is really a Devil's Food Cake that has red food coloring added to it. John Mariani tells us in his book "The Dictionary of American Food and Drink" that the name 'Devil's Food Cake' is so called "because it is supposedly so rich and delicious that it must, to a moralist, be somewhat sinful."   If we look beyond the striking appearance of this Red Velvet Cake, we will find that it has a mild chocolate flavor with a moist and tender crumb. The mild chocolate flavor comes from adding a small amount of cocoa powder to the batter and buttermilk gives it a moist and tender

I just got done baking these cookies and enjoy them!! The only substitute I made was using 4 tsp of lemon juice in place of the lemon zest–I didn’t have any lemons or oranges on hand. As a side note: If you are expecting these cookies to come out with the texture of a basic sugar cookie, you’re going to disappoint yourself. For me, these cookies almost have a tea-cookie-like consistency; melt-in-your-mouth and creamy/thick. Recipe >> Lemon Butter Cookies @ ateaspoonofhappiness.com
