All-time Favorite Desserts You Can Actually Do At Home

Chocolate Fudge Cake 

Who here doesn’t love a good ol’ slice of chocolate cake? And making it extra fudgy makes it even more delectable! The trick here is to make it with real chocolate AND cocoa powder for that fudgy twist. You can use dark chocolate as well to make it even tastier. The best thing of all is if you also create a “chocolatey” buttercream frosting with melted dark or milk chocolate. Make two batches of cake batter and split it into two cake pans; this way, you’ll be creating a two-layer fudge cake of pure goodness. 

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream 

There’s nothing like a tasty scoop of ice cream to get you through a hot summer’s day. But ice cream is meant to be enjoyed all year long, especially if you learn to make it yourself at home.

After 2 hours spent in the freezer, it’s ready to be enjoyed by many!

Carrot Cake is the ultimate springtime cake that is loved by many. The cream cheese frosting is to die for and the sweet and savory taste of cake, carrots, and walnuts is just a dream. Many people also love adding apple pieces to give it a warm zest. This cake is tender, tasty, scrumptious, dense, moist, and just plain perfect. You can garnish with little candied carrot bits, cinnamon, or just enjoy it as is with its creamy buttercream or cream cheese frosting.

Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Cookies have always been a favorite snack, and chocolate chip cookies, in particular, are everyone’s favorite.

Peach Cobbler

No matter which way you go for, a peach cobbler is the perfect family dinner dessert; the caramelized peaches along with a crispy crust is the ideal mix of flavor and texture.
