Irish Stout Cake
Who says you can’t have your cake and enjoy a beer too? Pour a cup into this cake batter then enjoy the rest while the cake bakes. This Irish Stout Cake is the perfect dessert for upcoming St. Patrick’s Day. Did I mention that I made it with Michigan Craft Beer? Celebrate the Holiday and Michigan in one sweet dessert that is so easy to make.
I’m so excited this year to participate in #FoodBloggerLove recipe swap. This event is all about showing the ‘love’ to other Food Bloggers and recreating their best recipes. I am pairing up with Amy Bartlett over at Savory Moments. There were so many wonderful recipes on her site that by the time I finally settled on one I had a bunch more on my list to make but once I landed on her Guinness Chocolate Cake I knew this was the perfect recipe. Check out Amy on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and of course on her blog where she’s cooking it up in the kitchen – can you believe she does it all with twins running around?
If you follow Bottom Left of the Mitten at all you know that I do a lot of food and beer pairing but I haven’t ever cooked ‘with’ beer let alone bake with it. I’m glad that I went outside my comfort zone for #FoodBloggerLove. Not only was Amy’s recipe really easy it gave me an opportunity to swap out the original Guinness that she used for a Michigan Craft Beer which I’m always 100% here for. So if you want you can use 1 cup of Guinness or do I like I did and reach for Short’s Brewing Uncle Steve’s Traditional Irish Style Stout. Now on to the cake!!
To start preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8-inch springform pan. On the stove top over medium heat in a small pan heat the butter until melted then add 1 cup of beer. Turn off the heat then add the cocoa powder, sugar and brown sugar. Set aside to cool. In another smaller bowl add the eggs sour cream, vanilla then stir to combine. Now in a larger bowl add the dry ingredients: flour, salt and baking soda.
Once the butter & beer has cooled down add to the dry ingredients. Then add the sour cream & eggs to that. Make sure the springform pan is liberally greased or you can even add parchment paper to it. Place the pan on a cookie sheet just in case the bottom leaks a little bit then add the batter. Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes depending on your oven. Mine went for a full 55 minutes. The top of my cake did crack and you know of course I just watched a baking hack video where it showed how not to have that happen but of course I forgot and you know what, oh well. It turned out perfect!
Take out of the oven and then use a knife to scrape the sides of the pan to release the cake from the sides then flip open the springform pan. Put the cake on a cooling rack or plate and let the cake cool fully. Time to make the frosting! Use one tub of mascarpone cheese and add sugar and vanilla until completely combined. Spread over the top of the cake. Cut into 8 slices and here you are….

Raspberry Cheesecake with Pound Cake Crust
I love raspberries. This time of year you can finally get them reasonable so I take full advantage of it. Recently I was watching one of my favorite shows, Diners Drive In’s & Dives, and they showed a cheesecake recipe that looked out of this world from Tin Roof Grill in Utah. While I didn’t get down the whole recipe what I was most infatuated with was the crust…..made of pound cake. I knew right then that this was so getting made to the best of my ability.
I was in a baking mood the day I made this so I ended up going double duty and made my first ever pound cake. Using Paula Deen’s Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe. It turned out so great! So great that I got anxious and didn’t let it cool enough so you will see that it ended up not coming ‘perfectly’ but you know what? That’s okay! So now on to the rest of the recipe.
Let’s start with the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a spring-form pan. Cut the pound cake into slices. Save the ends of the cake to cut into smaller pieces to put on the cheesecake before putting into the oven. Like I said above I got too eager with mine and took it out while still hot so it kind of fell apart. However, I was still able to get enough slices to cover the bottom and the sides. Lightly press down on the pieces so it forms a nice crust and covers up any large holes.
Once you are done layering the pound cake now it’s time for the filling. In a bowl or stand mixer beat together cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, whip cream and sour cream. So you don’t damage the raspberries fold them gently into the cheesecake filling. Pour mixture into the crust then top with the chopped up cake pieces.
As a safeguard I always put my spring-firm pan on top of a larger cookie sheet in case of any drips. Put into oven and cook for 1 hour. Let cheesecake completely cool before serving. And here you are….

Red, White & Blue No Bake Cheesecake #SundaySupper
Who is ready for 4th of July? ** Raises hand, Me! Me! Me!** Anyone else? I mean what is not to love? Cookouts, fireworks, ice cold beer, fireworks, parades and more fireworks and best of all cookout food! This year I decided to try something different with my no bake cheesecake and ended up very happy with the results. My Red, White & Blue No Bake Cheesecake will be making the cookout rounds this year.
Every year for the 4th of July growing up we would have big parties at my grandparents house. Their home was on the main street of a small town and the parade went right by. Afterwards we would have a cookout. So much fun and so many great memories.
This year we plan on spending most of the time by the pool at our new home. Kicking back and relaxing and spending time with the family is what it is all about, am I right? So now on to the dessert!
To get the ‘blue’ obviously I decided to use blueberries. Clean and wash 2 cups of them then add to a pot with sugar, water and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let reduce and cook the berries down for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Once the blueberries have cooled it’s time to make the rest of the cheesecake. Prepare the crust using the graham cracker mix, sugar and melted butter. Put crust into a greased pie plate making sure to get the crust up onto the sides of the plate as well. Mix the cheesecake filling and milk together with an electric mixer for 2-4 minutes.
Take half of the cheesecake filling and mix with the cooled blueberry sauce. Place the blueberry layer on the crust. Add the rest of the filling on top of the blueberry layer. Now put the pie into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Before serving add the cherry topping after refrigerating. Slice and serve…and here you are…..

Neapolitan Poke Cake
Ah February! I am so happy to see you. While this tends to be one of the colder months of the Winter in Michigan we are now starting to see that it’s creeping closer and closer to Spring. It’s lighter out in the morning and we are making it to nearly 6pm before it gets dark. We made it over the holiday hump and are still motivated with all the New Year resolutions we made. Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of Winter but February brings a little holiday that can easily leave you feeling warm in the heart & soul even if it’s cold outside, “Valentine’s Day”. For my sweethearts I made this Neapolitan Poke Cake. Layers of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla make this simple dessert into a special treat for the ones I love.
Aren’t simple desserts the best? Not only are they easy to make but I am still in the learning phases of becoming the baker I one day hope to be! Until then I will stick with no-bake cheesecakes, simple upside down cakes and poke cakes. Easy and delicious.
When I make cakes I always go straight to the box but then I divert from the directions by substituting the water for milk and that is what I did here by following the directions but adding whole milk instead. So all you have to do it beat cake mix ingredients in a bowl at medium speed until well combines. Grease a 13×9 pan and add cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Take cake out and let cool.
Once the cake has cooled down a bit make the pudding. With an electric mixer blend together the milk and chocolate pudding mix until completely blended, around 3 minutes. Now it’s time to ‘poke’ it. Take a straw and insert to make holes all over the cake. Pour the pudding on top of the cake then take spatula to push the pudding so that it goes into all the ‘pokes’ and spread evenly all over the top.
Refrigerate to let the pudding set for around 2-3 hours. Just before serving add vanilla to tub of whipped cream and stir to combine. Spread whipped cream all over the top of the cake. Top with chopped strawberries and chocolate syrup. Place several pecks on the cheek for good measure when serving. And here you are…..

Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake
The holidays are so much fun around here. Not only do we have Christmas coming but it’s also a time for several birthdays in our family. Just a few days before Christmas we celebrate my Mother -In-Law’s. After spending the week with her recently I found out she has a peppermint mocha obsession so I decided to bake her something I know she will love, Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake.
While we were in Disney World during the week of Thanksgiving I found out that my MIL has a ‘Starbucks’ Sixth Sense. It was like she could sniff one out from 300 feet away. She would say “I’ll be right back!” then return with a steaming cup of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha with delight in her eyes. I think it was her favorite thing to do next to eating at Be Our Guest. I hope she enjoys this cake as much as she enjoyed that Starbucks!
Feel free to cook the white cake mix per package directions. For me, that is usually just a ‘guide’. Most boxed cake mixes call for water which I will substitute with milk. Or for my Piña Colada Upside Down Cake I added pineapple juice. Mix it up! And this trick works for most baked goods. Take my Chocolate Cherry Cafe Brownies for example, I used coffee instead of milk or water. Turned out great!
For this particular recipe I used 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup milk and 3 eggs. Mix then add the batter to a 13″ x 9″ greased pan then put into a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 34-38 minutes. Take out to cool for 10-15 minutes. Once the cake has cooled down a bit now it’s time to ‘poke’ it. Take a straw and insert to make holes all over the cake. Once it’s been sufficiently poked now it’s time to prepare the pudding.
With an electric mixer blend together the milk, peppermint mocha creamer and chocolate pudding mix until completely blended, around 3 minutes. Pour the pudding over top of cake then use a spatula to spread evenly while pushing the pudding into the poke marks. Now lick the bowl, you know you want to! Refrigerator to let the pudding set for around 2-3 hours.
Just before serving frost with the whipped cream. Chop up the peppermint bark and sprinkle over the top. So festive! And here you are….

Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake
Ah, Fall! You are finally here! We are cooling down this week after an extended heat wave and I am so happy. The heat, humidity and mosquitoes have been bad here in Southwest Michigan so I am ready to start seeing the leaves fall, breathe in the cool crisp air and enjoy all that this beautiful state has to offer for the season. I also cant wait to share you with you one of my favorite fall desserts, Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake.
I call this ‘Chunky Applesauce’ because this is the applesauce recipe that I make for my family. If I have a few apples laying around I will whip this up as a side for dinner. And since I honesty cannot resist a cheesecake this is a great dessert that combines two of my favorite things. So gather your ingredients….
If you wanted to just make the applesauce like I do, you would just use this step alone. I’m sure your family will love it, it’s perfect with a pork roast and mashed potatoes. Now on to the applesauce. Set up a cutting board next to a pot and cube your apples. Put them into the pot and add salt, vanilla, butter, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg and apple juice. Stir to combine and bring to a boil cooking for around 10 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside to cool while the crust and cheesecake filling are prepared.
For the crust crush graham crackers and mix with butter and sugar. Pat down into the bottom of a greased spring form pan. In a mixing bowl combine the cheesecake ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar and cool whip. Mix with electric mixer until all combined. Once the applesauce has cooled down a bit add to the top of the graham cracker crust. On top of that add the cheesecake mixture.
Let the cheesecake refrigerate for 4-6 hours. And here you are….

Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake
Since this is the first Fall that my blog has been around I really felt like it was lacking a pumpkin recipe that I’ve been seeing all over Pinterest. So I thought I better get on it~introducing my Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake! Graham cracker crust is layered with butterscotch, pumpkin spice cheesecake filling then topped with candied pecans. A quick no-bake dessert that is perfect for Fall.
I’ll be honest, I’m not much a baker. While it’s a goal I’ve set for myself over the next year I’m not quite there so when I make a dessert it has to be a quick and most likely no bake. Since most pumpkin recipes are baked pies, cookies and cakes I had to be creative and pull from recipes that I’ve already made and reinvent it. Bingo! My Chocolate Bottom Strawberry Cheesecake is a no-bake dessert that can easily be updated with pumpkin flavor.
Before we get to the video, I made some candied pecans for the top of this pie. I made these prior to the video and they are not included so quickly let me tell you how. Gather a 2 ounce package of chopped pecans, 1 Tbs butter and 1 Tbs brown sugar Add butter to the pan and begin to melt, add pecans and brown sugar. Stir quickly over high heat for 2 minutes until the butter and brown sugar begin to caramelize. Take off heat and pour on a piece of wax paper on a pan. Let cool while you make the pie.
Now on to the video. *Part way through the video the lens sadly got splattered & I didn’t realize it! This is my 2nd video so I am kind of glad it happened so I can be a little more cautious next time!
Just a few easy steps and then in to the refrigerator to set. And here you are…….

Piña Colada Upside Down Cake #SundaySupper
Looking for a luscious dessert that tastes as good as it smells while baking? With this Piña Colada Upside Down Cake you will feel like you have been transported to a tropical local. Flip flops not required to enjoy.
This cake uses regular boxed cake mix but then it is given an ‘island vibe’ by using Coconut Crème Jell-O Pudding mix and pineapple juice instead of oil. So now on to the recipe.
I greased a square & circle 8″x8″ pan to make 2 cakes. I wanted to send over the second one to my in-laws as a ‘Thank you’ for all the help they did on our new back deck. Feel free to make this in one pan only using baking directions according to the type of boxed cake mix you use.
In the bottom of your greased pan pour the 1/2 cup of melted butter, dividing into each pan if your making 2 cakes. Then add your brown sugar again dividing if making 2 cakes. Place your cherries on top of the butter & brown sugar mix.
Drain your pineapple into another bowl so that you can make sure you reserve the liquid to use for the cake mix. Now add the pineapple to the pans. Then your shredded coconut.
Now it’s time for the cake mix. Which is simple as adding your cake mix, Jell-O pudding, eggs, milk and reserved pineapple juice. Mix with electric mixer until well combined, 3-5 minutes or so. Pour batter over the top of your delicious pineapple & coconut.
Bake for 34 minutes at 350 degree or according to the directions on your cake mix for the type of dish you are using. Once cake has cooled slightly place a plate inverted on top of pan. Flip plate over. When pan is removed you should now have the pineapple & coconut mixture facing up. And here you are…..
