Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.

Preheat the oven

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Mix dry ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter. Add in the vanilla extract and cinnamon, mixing until smooth.

Mix wet ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.

Combine mixtures

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Prepare the baking pan

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Pour batter

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Bake

Once baked, let the dish cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cool and serve

Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries if desired.

Add toppings

All-purpose flour

Granulated sugar

Baking powder

Milk

Unsalted butter

Vanilla extract

Cinnamon

Chocolate chips

Chopped nuts (optional)

Powdered sugar

Fresh berries (optional)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Mix Base Ingredients

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled. This step helps achieve a creamier texture.

Chill the Mixture

For chocolate ice cream, add the cocoa powder to the chilled base and whisk until fully incorporated. For strawberry ice cream, puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth, then fold the puree into the chilled base.

Prepare Flavorings

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Churn the Ice Cream

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. This allows the ice cream to set and develop its texture.

Freeze the Ice Cream

Whole Milk

Granulated Sugar

Vanilla Extract

Cocoa Powder

Strawberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Preheat the Oven

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.

Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the boiling water carefully (the batter will be thin).

Incorporate Boiling Water

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Pour and Bake

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Cool the Cakes

In a medium bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the whole milk, beating until smooth and fluffy.

Prepare the Frosting

Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Add Vanilla

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

Combine Ingredients

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of butter if desired.

Preheat the Pan

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Flip and Finish Cooking

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with butter and maple syrup to taste.

If using bacon or sausage, cook the meat in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and chop into bite-sized pieces. If using ham, just chop it into small pieces.

Prepare the Meat

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. In the same skillet used for the meat, add cooking oil or butter and heat over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

Scramble the Eggs

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, place a portion of scrambled eggs, top with the cooked meat, and sprinkle cheddar cheese over it. Be careful not to overfill.

Assemble the Burrito

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up to create a burrito shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Wrap the Burrito

Serve immediately, optionally with salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.

Combine Mixtures

In a medium bowl, combine the fresh berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly and let sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.

Prepare Berries

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Preheat Oven

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon the berry mixture over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Swirl gently with a spatula to create a marbled effect without fully mixing.

Assemble and Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
