Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Lori Yates — Mon, 01 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a classic dessert that will never go out of style. Rich, moist cake studded with big chunks of chocolate is topped with thick swirls of tangy cream cheese frosting.

I think that I love cream cheese more than the average person. I wasn’t really aware of this until I was doing a video call with a couple of friends, while making myself a bagel, and they both were shocked and awed by how much cream cheese (and how much everything bagel seasoning) I put on said bagel.

I mean, I had just had a baby a few days prior, and my body was extra hungry. But honestly, I don’t even need to make excuses. I’m not embarrassed. The truth is, I just love cream cheese. Anytime, anywhere.

It can go savory in crab-stuffed salmon recipe and crock pot beef stroganoff. It can be used as the “sauce” on roasted cauliflower pizza. And my Baileys brownies wouldn’t be the same without their spiked cream cheese frosting.

Today, I’m sharing a recipe for the absolute best chocolate cake I’ve ever made, paired with, what else? Cream cheese frosting!

Vanilla Overnight Oats Recipe

Get rid of breakfast stress by making a batch of Vanilla Overnight Oats with Yogurt for grab-and-go ease all week. Add a bit of espresso powder for a kick of caffeine!

What are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal. You soak oats in liquid overnight, allowing them to absorb flavors and soften. You end up with a ready-to-eat breakfast in the morning.

Overnight Oats Benefits

The biggest benefit of overnight oats is that they are so time-saving! Prep a batch (or a double or triple batch) on Sunday, and you have a quick grab-and-go breakfast for the weekdays. No more morning cooking stress!

Why you’ll love these Easy Overnight Oats

Nutrient packed. Old fashioned oats provide a hefty dose of fiber, and you get probiotics from the yogurt.
Morning boost. The optional espresso powder not only adds rich coffee flavor, but gives you that extra morning kick!
Perfect for meal prep. Make a double or triple batch, and eat all week for breakfast!

“I made a double batch of this to bring to our family vacation – everyone just loved it! We paired it with some fresh blueberries and it was amazing. Satisfies the sweet craving without the guilt.”

Hazelnut Espresso White Russians

I’m still at a loss for words when describing what a hazelnut tastes like. I honestly hadn’t tried a hazelnut (or anything hazelnut-flavored) until a few years ago, so it’s still a pretty new flavor profile to me.

When I Google “what does a hazelnut taste like?,” all I can find is that hazelnuts have a “delicate nutty flavor.” Gee, thanks. Personally, I think hazelnuts have a sweet, almost fruit-like quality with some nuttiness as well.

Mocha Hot Chocolate

I was snowed in for most of last week. Now, when I say “snowed in,” I don’t mean that I literally couldn’t get the doors open. I could. Although at one point, I opened the front door and a huge icicle fell within millimeters of my face.

So maybe even opening the door was treacherous. More so, my car was absolutely covered with snow and ice, my car battery wasn’t digging the cold, and the roads were a slick, icy mess.
