Triple Chocolate Layer Cake

Made this chocolate cake last night for my husband’s birthday and decorated it with M&Ms! It was a hit, I will be recommending this recipe to everyone! He liked it so much, he said he wants one every year for his birthday. Great recipe! I only used one and a half cups powdered sugar in the frosting, and the M&Ms gave the added sweetness. Other than that, I followed the recipe to the T and it turned out moist, delicious and decadent. Five stars! I honestly didn’t know what to expect since I don’t get much luck with moist cakes but this was beautiful. I will definitely be using it for birthday cakes and things! ! And I love how easy it is to make buttermilk at home :)  The cake is SO MOIST, probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had.. Recipe >>  Triple Chocolate Layer Cake @ sallysbakingaddiction.com

Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites

I made these. These are a great! I have a friend who can’t have refined sugars, gluten, or dairy (I KNOW!) and other sweets I’ve tried with those restrictions haven’t been that great, but these are perfect. I used the Pasha brand of chocolate chips (peanut, nuts, dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, and gluten free) and the coconut was by Let’s Do…Organic, reduced fat unsweetened finely shredded coconut. I wasn’t worried about the reduced fat, it was just what they had, and I think it might have worked out better then something else. It’s so light and dry it really soaked up the moisture and there was no puddling of oil. I didn’t melt the oil though either, just solid form and used my hands to mix.
