Hey there, everyone! How did your weekend go? Today is Halloween and it’s also aMonday, which seems very odd to me. The town held trick-or-treating over the weekend and it was scheduled for 3pm in the afternoon, which i also found odd. Who trick-or-treats in the middle of the daytime? Oh well, i guess it was for safety purposes, but man oh man, things sure have changed from when I was a kid.

So, anyway, today we are making something called “trinket cake.” In other circles, this cake is also known as “epiphany cake.” The cake is moist and flavorful and filled with little, tiny trinkets such as crosses, teeny baby dolls, and other adorable things. You’ll love the frosting on this cake as it’s homemade and totally delicious. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Feel free to toss trinkets directly into the cake batter or wrap them each in aluminum foil, first.

Smart Chefs Poke Holes In Their Cakes

Have you ever heard the term, “death by chocolate?” Well folks, today we are going to talk about “death by turtles.” No, I didn’t watch another low-budget scary movie. Although, SyFy has had some pretty interesting shows on lately. Anyway, back on topic, this cake is UH-MAZING.

I am a HUGE fan of poke cakes, and this chocolate turtle poke cake takes the…cake! It’s moist and filled with a creamy sauce that’s dripping through every morsel with an incomparable sweetness. The top of the cake is layered with chocolate chips, pecans, and caramel sauce. In my book, this poke cake is a winner. What do you think?

If you are a chocolate lover but think that the average chocolate cake is a bit, well, one-dimensional, then this Black Magic Cake may be just right for you. It’s rather easy to make, can be made in under an hour, and makes use of a bit of coffee to draw out the elements of chocolate flavor that are all too often muted. I always thought that coffee and chocolate went well together; it turns out that they work brilliantly with each other in a cake!

I used to not like dark chocolate at all. Whenever someone offered me a slice of dark chocolate cake, I would cringe inside and have the tiniest piece ever. But something has happened over the years! I guess I’ve grown up because now I just can’t get enough of dark chocolate cakes, and this recipe is by far one of the best I’ve tried.
