A lemony, fresh "pesto" of sorts coats these rich bites of goat cheese and lobster pasta. If you're cooking for two, simply freeze the remaining tortellini until you need them - they'll keep in a Ziploc bag up to 1 month - and you can either refrigerate the sauce in a covered container for up to a week or freeze it up to 1 month.
The darker, more sultry version of red velvet cake. It gets a rich flavour from real butter, buttermilk, a touch of beet juice and Kamut flour and added moisture from applesauce and brown sugar.
There is NO mistaking the involvement of the coffee liqueur in this rich cake - not only is the crumb spiked with Kahlua but the chocolate and cream cheese filling has a tipple too. Buttermilk, butter and oil make this cake super moist, while layer upon layer of flavour is created by dark brown sugar, dark cocoa powder, high-quality chocolate and espresso! Mesquite flour is optional as it's not readily found but it gives an undefinable quality to the flavour and scent of the finished recipe - lightly smoky, sweet, and a blend of chocolate, cinnamon and mocha. The buckwheat flour is also optional but definitely reccommended for tenderness, as is the extra Kahlua flavouring. This is delicious, but definitely NOT a cake for kids!
This is an an Estonian recipe, also known as "Egg White Cake". Light and baked in a tube pan (but a greased one!) like traditional Angel Food cakes, this isn't quite as guiltless with the added butter! The crumb is almost like a pound cake but the slight citrusy taste is divine. Adapted from Nami-Nami:

This recipe was inspired by a sweet tooth, with minimal items in the kitchen. My hubby and I both wanted chocolate cake, but I didn't want to go through all of the bother (or time) of cooking an actual cake. So... I give you chocolate pancakes.... you're welcome. Drizzle with some melted Nutella and your tastebuds will thank you. (The recipe nutrition/calorie content does not include nutella.)
This is one of my favourite cake fillings for spice cakes and especially Red Velvet cake. I was inspired after making the filling for these cookies: http://www.grouprecipes.com/11052/banana-f

Purists scoff at the Miracle Whip in this recipe, but it helps to perfectly balance the sharpness of the anchovy paste and salty cheese. Inspired by http://www.theperfectpantry.com/2009/05/an
chovy-paste-recipe-caesar-salad.html - and she uses Miracle Whip too! Makes two main-meal salads.
