There’s something really special about making your There’s something really special about making your own birthday cake. This year, I decided to stay home, keep things simple, and bake something just for me. Something rich, comforting, and a little nostalgic. So, if you are looking to have a chocolate moment soon, then look no further than this delicious double chocolate layer cake recreated from Ina Garten’s recipe in the 2014 Annual Cookbook from Food and Wine. My version of this recipe can be found on thejazzynation.com @foodandwine @inagarten #chocolatecake #cakerecipe #Baking #springgbaking #bakingrecipes

My husband just got back from the U.S. and brought My husband just got back from the U.S. and brought me back the best gift/care package from Trader Joe’s (one of my favorite stores). Full disclosure, I ripped into the popcorn right after filming, and it’s so good!!! Have you tried any of the things I shared in this video? #TraderJoesHaul #GroceryHaul #LifeInGermany #LifeAbroad
Let’s celebrate my husband’s birthday with a peach Let’s celebrate my husband’s birthday with a peach cake! This video has been in the drafts since my husband’s big day passed, but we had a lot of fun celebrating him when we did! When I asked him what type of cake I could make for him, he said a peach cake, and I immediately said “Huh” 😂. I then tried to convince him to let me make him a strawberry cake because I knew how to do that. So when I found peaches at the store, I knew I had to truly honor his wishes, and I am so glad I did! This recipe is still in the testing phase, so there isn’t one yet! But I will share the recipe for the cream cheese frosting I made for this delicious treat below. Peach Frosting Ingredients and Measurements: 8 ounces cream cheese; room temperature 1 cup unsalted butter; room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional - but adds a nice tartness) pinch of salt to 1/4 teaspoon 6 to 7 cups powdered sugar, sifted 1/4-1/2 cup of fresh peach puree (less for a stiffer frosting and more for a looser texture) #CakeRecipe #PeachCake #Baking #FoodBlogger #TheJazzyNation
