Sesame Pumpkin Chocolate Cake

Cakes, Chocolate, Desserts, Fall, Quick and Easy

First of all, I’d like to apologize to anyone experiencing a heat wave in the United States. I know how frustrating is when all you want to do is go to Homegoods and buy fall stuff, wear scarves and a hoodie and you’re forced to wear sandals and sweat. Despite the wonky weather, I brought fall today in form of this Sesame Pumpkin Chocolate Cake.

For all intensive purposes, this cake is a snacking cake. You snack on it when you probably should just make yourself a meal. You bake this and then keep it on your counter for as long as possible (it probably won’t last long). It’s a great way to live!

Here’s why this Sesame Pumpkin Chocolate Cake amazing. Ready?

-This cake requires one-bowl
-If you want, you can leave out the chocolate. You have freedom.
-The flavor of toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds with pumpkin are surprisingly lovely.
-The chocolate adds a lovely gooey touch to this cake that I am into.

Let’s dive into these Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, shall we?

I put on Instagram a few weeks ago a question, “Do walnuts belong in chocolate chip cookies?!” I knew the question was divisive but I did it anyway! And boy, were the responses aggressive! People are incredibly opinionated about chocolate chip cookies, rightfully so.

Results from the Poll “Do Walnuts Belong in Chocolate Chip Cookies?”

60% of readers voted “Absolutely not!”

I felt attacked.

40% of readers voted “Yes, delicious!”

Whipped Goat Cheese with Grilled Peaches and Hot Honey

Appetizers, Quick and Easy, Snacks, Summer

I’m usually a huge hater on summer. I usually enjoy complaining about the hot weather, bugs and bright sun but I have to say, this summer has changed me. I’ve SO enjoyed all of the beautiful fruits and veggies and the warm weather has been, dare I say, enjoyable! It doesn’t hurt that a vacation to Hawaii is in my near future where I will, for the last time, celebrate summer. The last few months have been a good lesson in changing my perspective!

Summer is far from over so we’re still riding the season’s wave with today’s post. I teamed up with Roth Cheese to share their new Chèvre! Their goat cheese is so perfectly tart and salty. When I went to go and make whipped goat cheese, I figured I’d need to add a few more things to make the flavor sing, but truly, it needed nothing. Not even a pinch of salt or a zest of lemon. Zilch. Nothing. It was truly perfect as is. To find some near you, click here!
