Coconut Pecan Frosting
This is not your usual frosting recipe, and it will have you hooked forever! Before you start making the frosting you will need to check and see if you have all the ingredients. Make note that the first time you make this you might want to make a double recipe so that you have enough frosting. If you frost the outside of the cake you will need a double recipe. The original recipe does not call for frosting on the outside, but I prefer for it to be frosted just for a better appearance. Click here to Read More »

Marcella's Butter Almond Cake
This cake has become a fast favorite at our house, and an easy desert to take along when visiting friends. Quoting the original author from 101 Recipes, “When we lived in St. Louis, Missouri, all of the local bakeries carried a cake that they called ‘gooey butter cake.’ This recipe duplicates the taste and texture of that cake. All the ingredients are pantry staples and the preparation could not be simpler. It is a great desert to throw together when unexpected guests drop in.” The only thing I do differently is to substitute natural cane Turbinado sugar for the garnish, which I sprinkle on after the toasted almonds.
