My dad is pretty much a chocolate fanatic – the darker and richer the better. He loves bananas, too. So it only seemed natural that the first time I made this banana bundt cake finished with satiny chocolate ganache was for his birthday.

I’ve never been one to try my hand at elaborately decorated cakes. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re pretty darn stunning. It’s just that I have an attention span that rivals a cupcake-eating, Mountain-Dew-chugging 4-year-old. Seriously.

Instead of towering cakes with beautiful piping details, I like to keep things a little more simple – okay, more like easy – and it doesn’t get much easier than bundt cakes. 

And this banana cake is not just any bundt cake.

I love cherries and I love chocolate, but I don’t often combine the two together.

This black forest cheesecake reminded me that I should combine the two more often.

I mean, the people who love chocolate-covered cherries are really onto something. Rich chocolate paired with sweet cherries…that’s a winning combination.

If you or a loved one agree, I’ve got just the dessert for you to make for Valentine’s Day this year.

I love bananas but I can never seem to use them up before they are way too speckled to eat with my morning Cheerios. 

Luckily, that almost always gives me an excuse to bake up something delicious with them!

And today we’re adding these banana bars with cream cheese frosting to that list!

Richly flavored with warm spices, vanilla, and a bit of orange, this apple compote is absolutely dreamy on top of everything from pancakes and french toast to ice cream.

Glass jar and white bowl, both filled with apple compote and set on a wooden board next to cinnamon sticks.

Fancy-sounding dishes that are secretly super easy to make are totally my jam.

Whipped cherry butter looks so beautiful on your table but comes together in just minutes. Cranberry brie bites always impress guests but are made with just 3 ingredients. And this apple compote sounds fancy but takes almost no effort to make.
