HOLY MOLY!!!! What a spectacular cake! I'd just about given up on making cakes from scratch as they always tend to taste to "dry" for my liking. Not this one. Moist and chocolately thru and thru. The only real trouble I had was keeping my fiance and kids out of the batter and the frosting. Be sure to line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper and sticking becomes a non-issue. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Sandy. You definitely deserved to win!

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2011

Extremely good recipe as written. Next time I think I'll tweak it per the other reviewers just to see which way we prefer it. Thank you for sharing this, Tammy.

Cream Soup Base

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2010

SPECTACULAR!!! To avoid lumps, I divided the milk, heating half of it with the butter, and mixing the other half with the flour. I then added the milk/flour mixture to the hot liquid.

French Silk Chocolate Pie I

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2010

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! Either as a pie or in cups as mousse, my family goes nuts when I make this. Thank you - this is exactly what I've been looking for.

Ham and Beans

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2010

We ate lots of ham and beans when I was a child and so I've avoided it for several decades. My fiance mentioned he liked this dish, so I set out to find a recipe. I must admit it tasted great. The hint of sweetness makes a massive difference. I'll be making (and eating) this again. :)

Homesteader Cornbread

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2010

WOW!!! I don't care for cornbread as I've always found it too dry and gritty. My fiance, however, likes it so I tried this recipe. It's WONDERFUL! I had three large pieces. :)

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009

I didn't care for this at all. I'm accustomed to the wonderful custard that forms when baked in the oven and this didn't even come close to that that standard.

Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusel

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009

The pie itself is wonderful. I wasn't too crazy about the topping, however. It turned out dry and rather hard, but did soften a bit after a couple days covered in the refrigerator.

Wow Wow Wow! Great recipe and very easy to make. I followed the tips for using a stand mixer, cut the sugar back to 2 Tbsp, and had spectacular results. Thanks for sharing this, Peg.

Blueberry Cream Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

Without a doubt the best blueberry muffins I've ever made! Taste and texture were exactly what I wanted. Per other reviews, I followed these suggestions: I increased the sugar by 1/2 cup (using 1 1/4 white sugar and 1 1/4 brown sugar) and I increased the vanilla to 1 TBSP. I didn't realize until I was mixing ingredients that someone had used from the new sour cream container and I was 3/4 cup short. I had to substitute using 1 TBSP lemon juice then adding enough milk to make 3/4 cup and mixing in 1/3 cup butter. It worked out just fine. This recipe is a definite keeper! Thank you very much for submitting it, KK3.

Topless Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

Very tasty, easy to make and set up nicely. I added a tablespoon of lemon juice to cut the sweetness just a bit.

Creamed Chicken for Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

My fiance LOVED this, as did my daughter. I thought there was just a tad too much pepper, so next time I'll cut back on it a bit and let them add more to their servings. Will definitely be making again and again.
