How to make the perfect chocolate cake: Purchase Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh’s new cookbook, Sweet. This cookbook is a work of art. Alluring exotic fruits and colors splash and ripple across each page, but if you are not in the mood for a fruit dessert, you might be in the mood for the dark…

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies
We are no strangers to chocolate chip cookies–over the years since we first started baking, we’ve tried out so many recipes. A freshly baked chocolate chip cookie is probably both of our favorite desserts, and our younger brothers are equally obsessed! Our favorite everyday recipes include, more recently, this and, formerly, this; both are great. Sometimes, though,…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake
Our brother Luke turns sweet 16 during the first week of September, and since we’ll be away at college on the actual day, we decided to celebrate early with an ultra-sweet dessert. After looking through our many cookbooks and baking books, he gave a pretty low-maintenance request: something with chocolate and peanut butter. We’d had…
Chocolate Silk Pie
Dusting off the blog again…there, that’s better! We didn’t mean to go a month without posting, but it’s inevitable when your brothers graduate high school and then the rest of your family moves an hour and a half away (we’re staying in our area for now to work, but we’ll join them in mid-August before…
Raspberry Chocolate Layer Cake
Sorry for all the silence here recently! The summer has been flying by and we haven’t had quite as much time to cook and blog as we like. Since we’re both recovering from wisdom tooth surgery this week, it’s the perfect time for us to share some recipes that we’ve neglected to post about. Anyway,…
Coconut Cream Cheese Brownies
While summer is probably best suited for lighter desserts incorporating all the gorgeous fresh fruit that is available, brownies know no season! These particular brownies are extraordinarily fudgy with a thick ribbon of coconut flavored cheesecake. We made these when our brothers had friends over to watch the NBA Finals, and it took some real…
Triple Chocolate Muffins
Life has been moving quickly lately. We have only a little over 20 days of school left, and the past few weeks have been crazy- a class trip to New York, a few more college acceptances, more snow delays, a research paper, lots of tests, a new job, etc. The next month or two promise…
Homemade Thin Mints
Leah and I were Brownies for about two weeks when we were little, and that has been the limit of our Girl Scouting experience. This does not mean we haven’t purchased an overpriced box or two of Girl Scout cookies now and then subsequently. I’ve spent far too much money on them and to be…
Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes
I meant to blog about these cupcakes this morning, but they were for a yearbook meeting this afternoon (I know, we had to go to school during break) and I ran out of time to write a post before leaving. I still wanted to blog about them today, because I have some muffins to blog…
Coconut Chocolate Chip Blondies
You might remember that we posted blondies on here before. These are a slightly more jazzed-up version, with a whole cup of coconut in the dough. They are perfectly chewy and delicious, and topped with a chocolate drizzle and packed with chocolate chips, they are fantastic. Next time we may try toasting the coconut for…
