Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake with Cherry Buttercream (Recipe included!)

January 30, 2020      Leave a Comment

Taking a break from all of the healthy gestational diabetes and low carb stuff to share a super sweet cake recipe! After all, baking is my passion and I love to share that with you guys! Even if I can’t indulge right now. 🙂 Heck, I plan to keep eating healthy once baby girl is here, but there is nothing wrong with indulging every now and then!

Do you ever just crave something? Not like a pregnancy craving, just a specific taste? Well one day last summer I started craving some chocolate covered cherry goodness. It just so happens that my husband loves chocolate covered cherries, and Father’s Day was rolling around, so I set out to create a cake for him that fully embodied the flavors without using store-bought chocolate covered cherries.

I have to say, it did not disappoint!

For the cake itself, as a home baker, I really hate to share my secret cake recipes. BUT you are in luck because I was being lazy this day, so here’s what I did! 

If you want a bangin’ chocolate cake without all of the fuss of a scratch made cake: go buy a Betty Crocker mix. I’m serious! Buy the mix, add an extra egg, and sub milk for the water. You will get a moist, dense cake that will work perfectly for this recipe!

It is such a delicious combination of flavors! I opted for just a 6″ cake and it was plenty for us! With four layers of chocolate, and 4 layers of cherry, it was perfectly balanced out.

I also decided as his gift, to buy a new ice cream maker! I grew up with happy memories of making home made ice cream on the porch in the summer, and I wanted that for my babies. We grabbed this awesome Hamilton Beach one and whipped up a creamy vanilla to compliment the cake. It was absolutely perfect and a great day of memories with our girl!

Okay now that I have made you drool, on to the recipe!

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake with Cherry Buttercream Frosting

  • Servings: 10-12
  • Time: 1 hour
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

 

For the Cake:

  • Betty Crocker Chocolate Cake Mix
  • One extra egg (beyond what your box calls for)
  • Milk in place of the water called for in the instructions (2% works, but whole is better!)
For the Cherry Buttercream:
  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter
  • 1 bag confectioners sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 oz jar of Maraschino Cherries
For the Chocolate Frosting:
  •  1 stick of butter
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Ganache (optional, but pretty!)
  • 8 oz chocolate chips (I opted for milk, but you can use whatever kind you want!).
  • 8 oz heavy whipping cream.
Directions:
For the Cake:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients according to the cake mix box, making sure to sub milk for the water and add your extra egg! 
  3. Grease four 6″ cake pans with my Magical Cake Release paste. (If you only have two, just bake the layers two at a time. If you don’t have 6″ pans, just do two 8″ pans and split the batter in half).
  4. Fill each pan with a quarter of the batter and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I find that when I do four 6″ pans, my cakes tend to cook much faster. Make sure you watch them!
  5. Flip out onto a rack and allow to cool. 
  6. Once cool, level the tops with a bread knife and set aside.
Next, the chocolate frosting:
  1. Melt your butter in the microwave and then add to the bowl of your stand mixer.
  2.  Carefully mix in your cocoa powder and vanilla.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and evaporated milk alternately, until you get your icing to a good consistency. You want it thick enough to help support your layers, but not so thick that you can’t spread it. 
  4. Set aside.
Last, make the Cherry Buttercream:
  1. Wash the bowl and whisk attachment for your mixer.
  2. While that is drying, remove enough of the cherries from the jar to garnish the top of your cake. (for a 6″ cake, 10 was perfect!)
  3. Remove the stems from the remaining cherries, if necessary, and set them aside. Make sure you keep all of the juice that is in the jar!
  4. Add the butter to the bowl and whip it until light and fluffy. 
  5. Next, add your vanilla, and any cherries that were not pulled for garnish. Your mixer should chop them up into small pieces, but if any large pieces remain you will want to cut them down some.
  6. Once that is all incorporated, add approximately 1 cup of your powdered sugar and mix well, scraping the sides as needed.
  7. Add the juice from the cherry jar. Go ahead- dump the whole thing in there! It will explode the cherry flavor! 
  8. Your icing will be very thin after this. Continue adding powdered sugar a cup at a time, mixing well in between each addition. Once you get your icing to a good spreading consistency, stop! You may use the whole bag, you may not. 
Now, we will move on to cake assembly before we make the ganache! Ganache is super tricky and you have to work fast, so you don’t want to make it until your cake is ready. 

 

Cake Assembly:

  1. Place your first layer of cake on your cake plate.
  2. Using a piping bag if possible, (or you can cut a corner off of a ZipLock bag!), pipe a ring of your chocolate icing around the outside of the top of the cake.
  3. Fill inside of your ring with cherry buttercream.
  4. Place the next layer on top, and repeat until you have placed all layers, but do not ice the top yet!
  5. Next, you will want to spread your cherry buttercream on top, but not down the sides.
  6. Frost the sides of your cake with the chocolate frosting. I use one of these scrapers and a cake turn table to get my sides smooth, but you can do your best with a spatula if need be!
  7. Now we pause and go make the ganache if you are doing so! If not, skip this part!
Make your chocolate ganache!
  1. Place your cake in the fridge while you do this. A cold cake helps slow the drips and keeps it from running off of the cake. You may even want to chill for 10-15 minutes before you make the ganache!
  2. Add both your chocolate and heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl.
  3. Microwave it for 1 minute, and then let it stand in the microwave for 1 minute.
  4. Remove the bowl and let it sit an additional minute on the counter and then whisk it for 30 seconds. It should be smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Using a spoon, apply small amounts of your ganache (literally a drip at a time) to the top edges of your cake, gently pushing it over the side so that it drips down. Don’t worry about how it looks on the top, we will be covering that! Just make your drips as pretty as possible.
  6. Now for the very last step! Decorate the edges of the top of your cake (however you want!) with your chocolate icing. I personally used a Wilton 1M Cupcake tip to pipe some icing and then pressed a cherry into each. I also opted to add chocolate sprinkles around the bottom, but have fun with it!
  7. Wow everyone you know with your gorgeous masterpiece!

Balsamic Chicken Skillet (Low Carb- and DELICIOUS!)

January 27, 2020      Leave a Comment

Let’s be friends! Connect with me on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest!

Hey you guys! I’m here to share one of my absolute, all-time favorite recipes that I have ever created! I could seriously eat this entire pan on a daily basis. I teased it in my Insta story and had so many requests for the recipe- so here it is!

I have always loved caprese anything. Something about the mixture of tomato, basil, balsamic reduction and fresh mozzarella is just my jam. Especially during this pregnancy with Lilliana! After Addilyn’s birth when I was really adjusting to the 2B Mindset (which I HIGHLY recommend, by the way!), I craved my old favorite, but with a low-carb, veggies-most twist! Now that I am dealing with Gestational Diabetes, it has come back into our menu rotation very frequently! Try it, I promise you won’t be sad!

Low-Carb Balsamic Chicken Skillet

  • Servings: 4-6
  • Time: 30 mins
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed.
  • 4 decent sized zucchini, cut into slices and then quartered
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 16 oz log of fresh mozzarella (I personally love the Galbani brand!), cut into cubes
  • Olive Oil
  • Balsamic Vinegar 
  • 1 tsp Minced Garlic (I like to buy it in a jar, pre-minced!)
  • 2 TBSP Brown Sugar (you could try the brown sugar subs if you wanted to lower the carbs even more, but it doesn’t affect my sugar with all of this protein!)
  • 2 tsp Dried Basil (or fresh if you are feeling really fancy!)

Directions:

  1. If you have time, put your cubed chicken in an airtight container with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pour of balsamic vinegar. Give it a good shake and then place it in the fridge for a few hours to marinate. This step is not mandatory by any means, but it really gives your chicken more flavor!
  2. If you did not have time to marinate, jump right to this step! Heat a cast iron skillet (really helps with the flavor, but if you don’t have one, a non-stick skillet works too!) on med-low on your stove top. 
  3. Add a drizzle of olive oil and your chicken, and cook until the chicken is mostly cooked through.
  4. When the chicken is basically cooked, add the garlic and basil and cook for approximately one minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add a very generous pour of balsamic vinegar to the pan. I don’t ever measure this, I simply work to taste! You will figure out how tart you like it! 
  6. Next, add your zucchini and cook everything until the zucchini is tender but not mushy. You may have to add a bit more oil or vinegar as it cooks to keep some sauce in the pan. You will want the liquid at the end to drizzle, I promise!
  7. Once your zucchini is mostly cooked, add your brown sugar and stir well. 
  8. Add your cherry tomatoes the very last and cook just long enough to warm them up, but not make them mush..
  9. Taste the sauce. Add more sugar or vinegar to get it to where you like it! 
  10. Transfer your mixture to plates and add your fresh mozzarella cubes. We get a little carried away here, but you do you! Drizzle any leftover sauce from the pan over everything and enjoy!

Try it and love it! Let me know what you think and give it a share if its a win for you like it is for us! Sharing is caring 😉

Sole Solution: An Honest Review!

January 25, 2020      Leave a Comment

Okay. So if you are on social media much, you have probably heard about this, or at least the company that manufactures it! I discovered NuSkin about two and a half years ago through a friend. I was expecting our first baby and having incredible tooth sensitivity issues (like, crying when I would brush!) and fell in love with the AP24 toothpaste! Major bonus points that it is whitening, too!

But then they really got me! See, I am “blessed” with hereditary dry feet. Painful, cracked, bleeding heels are just a part of my summer life. Heck, even in the winter my feet get dry and cracked. I have tried literally every product out there- files, ped-eggs, pumice stones, creams, you name it. Some would work for a little while but most required a good bit of scraping and scrubbing to get the job done. Until I discovered Sole Solution!

A skeptic at best, I decided to drop the $30 on a tube and give it a whirl. I figured there was no harm in trying it! I started out by applying it relatively liberally, twice a day, and then putting on socks. You guys…the skin literally melted off in the shower! No filing or scraping or scrubbing! Here are my one week results. No photoshop, pinky promise!

A lifetime of cracked heels, completely healed in just over a week! After about three weeks, I switched to once a day at bedtime, and have been able to maintain these results for a year!

I am officially a tried and true believer, so much so that I represent the brand now! I will never use another product and have loved watching it work for so many of my friends and family members. If any of this speaks to you, either GO HERE to order some for yourself, or Email me and I will hook you up! 

DELISH Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie (Keto and Gestational Diabetes Friendly!)

January 23, 2020      3 Comments

Let’s be friends! Connect with me on Facebook, Instagramand Pinterest!

A Gestational Diabetes diagnosis can be a lot to handle. It feels like the end of all things that taste good (i.e.. sweets!) at the very least until your pregnancy is over (barring any lingering sugar issues). Which is hard because when you are pregnant, a lot of times you crave all the sweets! Add to that the fact that I literally am constantly baking and working with sweets via my home baking side gig and I was really feeling deprived. 

So, I decided that I needed to find a way to satisfy my sweet tooth that wouldn’t hurt my blood sugar numbers, and I am happy to say that I was SUPER successful! If you follow any low-carb diet, this may just be your new fave. I think I have made one almost every day since I finalized the recipe and it still tastes every bit as good to me! If you make it exact to this recipe, it only has 8g of carbs, and 7g of protein to almost entirely balance that out! 

First of all, you will want to soften your butter, but not fully melt it! I put mine in a cute ramekin that I have, but a mug is perfect too! Zap that baby in the micro for about 15-20 seconds and its perfect.

Then, you simply add everything else to the mug! I personally use these LILY’S baking chips because they are way lower carb and I don’t feel as guilty. But I will add that I have done it with a sprinkle of regular semi-sweet mini chips and my numbers have not spiked at all. So if you are in a pinch, don’t let that stop you!

Give it a really good stir to mix everything in!

Pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds and then devour! Omgosh it’s so good!

My diagnosis with Gestational Diabetes has become quite the topic around here lately! Mostly because I am learning how to cope with it, but also wanting to share as I am learning, in hopes that it can help someone else. Sharing is caring, and it gives me a sense of purpose!

One thing that I have had to come to terms with is the regular finger pricking every. single. day. Different doctors seem to want things checked differently. My OB has asked me to check four times a day: fasting (when I wake up) and then 2 hours after each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Some doctors want more, some less, and some ask for 1-hour readings instead of 2-hour readings. 

Trying to be fully diet controlled and not go on medication, my biggest frustration was trying to find a way to log these that would be easy for my OB to glance at and get a big picture look at my management. I started out with a notebook, which was easy for me, but I felt like it would be harder on him. So then I took to Pinterest and while there were tons of printable logs out there, I honestly I could not find one that fit my needs for 4 times a day at the 2-hour mark.

So, I decided that the best thing to do would be to put my graphic design skills to use and whip a custom Bood sugar tracker! Since I am certain I am not the only one that faced this same issue, I have included a downloadable PDF for you!

All you need to do is click the image below and save it to your computer! Print it off, fill it out and take it with you to your appointments. My OB loved this format and I am pretty sure yours will, too! And since I didn’t include a timeframe, you can totally use this even if you are a 1-hour checker like some!

I am a crier. I feel things deeply, especially sadness or pain. On good days, I struggle with anxiety and on low days, some depression, too. After we lost our first baby, I found myself in a particularly hard spot. We had prayed for this child and dreamed for this child and wanted this child so much. And yet there I was with empty arms and a broken heart. Add to that months of trying and failing at getting pregnant again, meanwhile watching literally everyone around me get the very desire of my heart. It was a gut wrenching time, and to be honest, I was fairly certain that God had just closed the door to my prayers and wasn’t listening to me. Maybe it was my lack of faith? Maybe He just didn’t love me the way that I had thought He did? Maybe “His timing” and “my timing” weren’t matching up…but what then of the “ask in faith and you shall receive”?

I know so many women that go through this same internal struggle. Working in miscarriage and infertility ministry, I see it often. Even those who are clinging to Christ with all that they have often seem to feel the weight of their sadness. 

This world is broken. In this life there will be pain and heartbreak. Christians are not immune to this, as we live in a fallen world. Whatever the situation that is crushing your heart- be it an unfaithful spouse, a failing marriage, a wayward child, the loss of a parent, immense financial struggle, the drifting away of a close relationship- I want to encourage you today with a verse that has really spoken to me. 

The Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

-Psalm 6:8-

God has not turned His back, and He never will. His love is immense and unending, and more than capable of handling your pain. He hears us when we cry out and He longs to hold us and heal our broken hearts. And He is at work in our situation, even though we may not feel it in that moment. God is not limited to time in the same way that we are. As my favorite Author, Lysa TerKeurst, says so often, “God is good at being God.” He knows what He is doing, far better than I do!

Sweet friend, you are not unheard. You are not unloved. You are not cursed or forgotten. You are held right where you are, in the midst of your heartache and pain. It will all come full circle. You will smile again. And maybe, just maybe, you will get to see an incredible purpose in your pain; how it made you stronger and allowed you to help others. I know I certainly did! Until then, cling to this promise.

These are always fun! 🤍 These are always fun! 🤍
We are officially a household that will NOT be sho We are officially a household that will NOT be shopping with Target anymore! 🚫 If you know me and my deep love of Target 🎯, this is a hard one for me. And I’m not usually a “stop shopping places” kind of person. (See the video I posted earlier, among other things) It takes a lot for me.

I am so frustrated at the kind of madness my kids are growing up in. The buck has to stop here. I will show them what is right and wrong, not these companies supporting such horrible things. I mean if partnering with Satanists and selling “tuck friendly” clothing to toddlers isn’t just going too far then I’m not sure what is.

Just think about this: why are you buying your household essentials from a company that supports satanic groups?? If they are openly doing this, can you imagine what they are hiding in your every day products?? 😳😳😳 Over this last few months I’ve learned more about all of this and it’s scary how many harmful things are “allowed” on their shelves!

I’ve found a better way to shop—a healthier way! and with a company that supports and upholds the highest values! We are switching almost all of our household essentials & next month, even pasture-raised, hormone-free beef 🥩 from them!

Thank you to The Wellness Store for giving me and my family a truly safe and wholesome place to shop! 🌱 It’s a company worth talking about…which is why I can’t stop! I care way too much about those of you who have trusted my opinion enough to follow me!!
I want to speak to the ladies who strive to be a P I want to speak to the ladies who strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman for just a second! If you’re new here, you can expect to see a lot of life with my kids! Spending my days with them is my greatest joy (but dang, it can be hard sometimes! Other #stayathomemoms feel me?!). I am teaching them through hands-on experiences. Less screen time, more outside time. To start their day in God’s word and prayer. The work we do here matters, moms.
I am my husband‘s biggest cheerleader and supporter! You won’t see any feminism or wokeness here. When he wins, I win. I’ll do just about anything to help him succeed! There ain’t nothing wrong with that, ladies. In fact it’s our job as wives. Own it 💪🏻
While we’re talking about it, being a stay at home mom does not mean that you can’t bring in income! Even if it’s just a little here, or a little there it can make a huge difference. And it doesn’t have to mean time away from your children! I’m happy to share what I do to anyone interested 🤍(and yes, there are multiple avenues!).
It’s also my job as a homemaker to be the gatekeeper for what comes into our home and goes into and on our bodies. I’m all about simple, delicious meals that I can feel good about feeding my family. I’m also all about low-tox living! Do a deep dive into the chemicals in your home and you will be too! You can always find clean swaps in my stories and highlights! 🌱 

If any of that resonates with you, stick around! I’m glad you’re here🤍

You encourage them to grow and experiment and make new things. You literally, truly shape their heart. So when a child makes you something, please cherish it. 🤍

“But I don’t order that many cleaning products “But I don’t order that many cleaning products every month.”

This is the most common thing I hear about The Wellness Box! Let me go ahead and debunk that for you. Neither do I! That would be crazy, considering we live in a tiny home. 😅

I definitely don’t order that many cleaning products each month, especially when these are so concentrated that they last forever. But I do order this AMAZING coffee (no mold or toxins!). Baby wipes, deodorant, toothpaste, dish soap, protein bars and shakes, nutritional shakes for our kids, vitamins and supplements, basic health care items such as ibuprofen and Tylenol. Gatorade replacements and emergency-c replacements without all of the sugar. I order sunscreen and bug spray (all natural ingredients! 🙌🏻). I order shampoo and conditioner (salon quality) and high-end, clean make up at a fraction of the price! Shopping with The Wellness Store is not just a cleaning products subscription. It’s a way to replace money I’m already spending somewhere else, from a non-woke, patriot owned company. It’s a way to save money on products I’m already using, plus it’s dropped off at my doorstep instead of having to haul my kids into the store! And if there’s ever a month where I truly don’t need anything (that hasn’t happened yet!) I can just skip! 😍 

You can even add a subscription to get grass-fed, hormone free, pasture raised beef shipped to you! 

I hope that helps to clear the air at any confusion 🤍🤍
