An Awesome Flavor Combination

I’m loving this new raspberry chocolate cake roll! It’s based on my popular Yule Log Cake. That one uses more of a vanilla filling and I’ve often been asked about a chocolate and raspberry filling, so I decided it was time to make a version with those flavors. I used the chocolate cake from that cake roll, the raspberry filling (but more of it) from my Raspberry Chocolate Layer Cake (another well-loved recipe), and then added in my chocolate whipped cream. The combination is a winner and would be perfect for just about any occasion.

Why You’ll Love This Raspberry Chocolate Swiss Roll

• Great flavor combo. Who doesn’t love raspberry and chocolate together?! It’s a classic! And if you’re not a fan of chocolate + raspberry, you will be after trying this recipe. This cake roll overall isn’t as sweet as some cake recipes, so just keep that in mind.
• Indulgent ganache topping. I used chocolate ganache as the topping and like the slightly denser texture with this, but you can also whip it, as I did with the yule log. Either way, it’s going to be SO good!
• Perfect for making ahead. I like to prepare this chocolate cake roll a day in advance and then just add the ganache before serving, though you can also store it for a day with the ganache before serving.

Delicious Gingerbread Cupcakes For Christmas

Gingerbread is one of those flavors that you really only have one time a year, so I try to make sure I squeeze plenty in. I love it! Cinnamon and nutmeg get most of the attention in the fall, but ginger is the star spice here, along with some molasses, and it’s so good. These cupcakes makes a great treat for the holidays because they are easy to make, super cute and so shareable.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Simple method. I always love when an amazing cupcake also has a simple method. There’s no need for creaming and complication with these cupcakes. You’ll just be stirring everything together in the correct order.
• Perfectly spiced. These gingerbread cupcakes are made with plenty of spices, especially ginger, as well as molasses to give them that classic gingerbread flavor.
• Super moist and tender. Ingredients like sour cream and brown sugar help give these cupcakes an ultra-moist and tender crumb.
• Caramel frosting. These cupcakes are finished with a caramel cream cheese frosting that I love. The caramel is the perfect complement to the warm gingerbread flavors and the cream cheese adds just a bit of tang to balance out the sweetness.

Why You’ll Love This Cake

Have you ever noticed that cake makes almost everything better? When it comes to fall, this cake definitely makes it even better – and tastier. There are just so many things to love about it. Trust me — this cake has a few steps, but they’re worth it for the end result.

• Super moist chocolate cake. This cake starts out with my favorite moist chocolate cake. It’s the most tender, delicious chocolate cake ever, and it stays moist for daaaaaays. No joke.
• Creamy pumpkin cheesecake. The pumpkin cheesecake rocks. It’s the same as my classic pumpkin cheesecake, without a crust. You’ll bake it in a simple water bath to make a rich and creamy, pumpkin spiced layer for the center of the cake.
• Whipped chocolate cream cheese frosting. It doesn’t get any better than this frosting! It’s made with cream cheese and whipped cream so it pairs beautifully with the cheesecake and has a light, fluffy texture. So tasty!
• Easier than it looks. Seriously, while the directions might look complicated at first glance, this cake really isn’t that hard to make. The cake and cheesecake layers are nice and solid, so they stack easily without the use of a springform pan. Just stack them with thin layers of frosting to hold them together. Easy peasy!
