    • Decadent Dark Chocolate Cake

      Posted at 10:15 am by NativeNM, on January 27, 2021

      It’s National Chocolate Cake Day!!  And with Valentines day just around the corner I thought I’d share my favorite chocolate cake.  Joe loves dark chocolate so I made this cake especially for him.  The cake alone is very moist and loaded with dark chocolate flavors as well as coffee.  And you can’t beat a buttercream frosting for it’s creamy whipped texture.  The combination is so decadent leaving you to savor every bite.  And if that’s not enough I had some chocolate covered pecans from “Legacy Pecans” that I chopped and sprinkled over top.  Joe loves them and it was almost impossible to keep him from devouring them before they went on the cake.   He was all too happy to taste test this slice.  Hope you all have a wonderful Chocolate Cake Day and a Valentines day shared with the one you love!

    • Chocolate Zucchini Cake

      Posted at 9:55 am by NativeNM, on September 20, 2011

      I had two lonely zucchini from my garden this year.  We have squirrels and bunnies that feasted on my garden all summer long and stripped my zucchini as soon as they grew a few inches long.   So I was surprised when I went to clear out the garden and found one that the squirrels and I had missed.  It grew a bit larger than I would have liked, had I only known it was there. . .   So what to do with this lonely zucchini.  I searched the internet for ideas and came across this moist, decadent cake from Simply Recipes that I couldn’t resist trying.   Who knew that chocolate and zucchini would pair up so well.  I didn’t, but this cake has certainly changed my mind.  The recipe was so good I wouldn’t change a thing.
