Decadent Cherry Chocolate Cake

February 9, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

Ahh, February and thoughts do turn to love…or at least chocolate. Partnered, single, somewhere in between, everyone deserves a treat on Valentine’s Day.

I am not necessary a celebrator of … [Read more...] about Decadent Cherry Chocolate Cake

Fun to say and fun to eat!  I think of this dish … [Read more...] about Fresh Peach Whirlygigs

Peanut Butter Pound Cake with Strawberry Jelly Glaze

March 26, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I can’t think of a more home comfort dessert than pound cake with the classic flavors of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It’s one of my very favorite flavor combinations. I love it in a chess pie or a sheet cake. I eat a peanut butter sandwich for lunch most days. In the form of a pretty molded Bundt cake with a traditional glaze tinted a lovely pink, this … [Read more...] about Peanut Butter Pound Cake with Strawberry Jelly Glaze

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
