Chewy Chocolate Cake


I am always on the lookout for amazing recipes for cakes and cookies.  While on Pinterest.com (my favorite website) I found this “BEST-EVER Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies” recipe from Apple A Day blog and with a title like that, I had try.  The interesting thing about these cookies, which I had never seen or heard of was it called for a tsp of cornstarch.  They came out very chewy, moist and fluffy.

CADBURY CARAMEL EGG CUPCAKES

I found these Cadbury Crème Egg cupcakes on pinterest.com, which took me to the Cupcake Activist, which lead me to Cupcakestake the cake and to the original owner of Zoey Cakes from NY.   

I decided to give them a try and instead of using the Cadbury Crème, I used the Cadbury Caramel Eggs.  I also did not freeze them, but dropped them right into the batter as well as used a Devil Food recipe, but could use any recipe.  Here is how they turned out.

I used caramel Cadbury Eggs, but you can use the Creme Eggs

I just dropped mine into the batter - but you can freeze and then just leave on top and bake

Look out caramel

 Another caramel shot

 I did some in chocolate frosting and some in vanilla

I was contacted to try out edible icing sheets and inks from a company in Williston, Florida - Photofrost.com. They said they would ship some out for me to test. I will keep you posted. Here is a video from youtube. Let me know what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wOom0cxXuI

I will keep you posted on the results :-)
