I remember nothing else about the day – but this I do remember: I came home and the November 1997 issue of Gourmet was in the mail. I leafed through, as I often do, looking at the photos before a more (hopefully) thorough reading later on. I was instantly captivated by this humble little five-ingredient cake. I made it that night, and many, many times since. Too many times to count. This is “our” cake.
Inner Sanctum Chocolate Cake – so ridiculously homely, so delicious!
Hershey’s Ultimate Double Chocolate Brownies are an unabashed brownie, a bit forward, maybe even impertinent in their rich, chocolate taste. If these brownies were a person, they’d be Melissa McCarthy in Identity Crisis. A bit loud; bordering on obnoxious and a little messy around the edges.

These Black & White Biscotti have become a family fave. I originally started making them for Christmas cookie trays (even though we have not a drop of Italian in our family tree) partially because they’re insanely good and partially because they travel and/or ship so well. Now I just make them anytime I have an urge.
