Vanilla Cloud Cake
My devotion to chocolate is generally absolute, but last week I was in the mood to bake something a little lighter, a little wintry-looking, and something very, very vanilla. This angel food-style cake was a slam-dunk winner on several fronts: … Continue reading
Chocolate Pecan Tart
