Here are a few, mostly the stuff I've been fooling with recently. This is a LONG post, with a lot of links- hopefully they work!

Chocolate cake
https://thestayathomechef.com/the-m.....hocolate-cake/ (I used fresh-made coffee, cooled but still warm, instead of the warm water)

Chocolate frosting (Original)
https://www.hersheys.com/kitchens/e.....-frosting.html (VERY chocolate, very good, but much stiffer than the recipe below; I’m not sure which I prefer!)

Chocolate Frosting (Buttercream)
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7.....eese-frosting/ (One problem- this makes a GODAWFULLY HUGE amount of frosting!

Strawberry cake

White Cake
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes.....recipe-1907345 (this one had weirdly thick batter, and while people liked it, I wasn’t totally satisfied with it. I’ll probably try again with another recipe.)

Caramel Rolls
(I use the two bread recipes below as the basis; after the first rise, flatten the dough and layer down brown sugar and cinnamon, then roll it up. In the pan put a TON of butter and brown sugar (and the nuts if you use any- I use walnuts or pecans), and cut the rolled dough into 12 rolls. Put into the pan, do a second 1-hour rise and bake according to the bread recipes… But WATCH. When they look done, thety likely are!)

Egg Bread
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes.....made-egg-bread (I think this works better than the white bread recipe for the caramel rolls) https://www.inspiredtaste.net/24412.....ownies-recipe/

Lemon Merangue Pie
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/1.....tType=recipe (I used the graham cracker recipe below for the crust, and it was awesome- the bottom was too thick, but that was MY fault!)

Apple Pie
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/apple-pie (The filling was good, I swapped cloves for the ginger. This does NOT have a crust recipe. I recommend the recipes that require chilling the dough- the one I used, which was a ‘quick’ recipe that didn’t require that, didn’t come out all that good.)

Shortbread
https://www.thespruceeats.com/class.....recipe-3052187 (I’m going to make these again- I want to try flavorings!)

Brownies
https://www.inspiredtaste.net/24412.....ownies-recipe/ (I was not happy with the flavor- they seemed REALLY salty to me. I’ll either try this one again, or find a different version.)
