Uncomplicated Make-Ahead Tres Leches Cake

This cake is best made a day ahead, which makes it a nice option if you’re crunched for time. It’s also pretty straightforward and doesn’t require any obscure ingredients. And it’s dang good.

Baking Bars & Cookies Brownie

The Best One Bowl, Chewy Dark Chocolate Brownies

This is absolutely my go-to brownie recipe. These are chewy, rich, and most importantly very quick to come together. No melting butter or chocolate.

Baking Pie Pies & Tarts

The Best Dark Chocolate Cream Pie

I don’t usually throw around superlatives, but this is hands down the best chocolate cream pie I’ve ever made, and almost the best I’ve ever had.

Baking Cakes Sheet Cake

Double Malted Chocolate Sheet Cake
