Molly Wizenberg’s Winning-Hearts-and-Minds Cake

PollyJuly 14, 2010August 4, 2025

It’s a one layer cake. Rustic looking. Uneven. No frosting. No filling. But! Fabulous. FAB-YOOO-LICIOUS! The outside is lightly crispy, lightly crunchy, and the inside is soft, creamy, and rich. One tablespoon of flour holds the chocolate, sugar, eggs and…

Two Guinness Chocolate Cakes

St. Patrick’s Day! Irish+St. Patrick’s Day=Guinness! This recipe makes two lovely bundt cakes—it can be halved, but why?? One for home, one for the pot-luck, or one for the party and one for the teachers’ break room! I doubt it…

Mocha Ice Cream

The clear winner in the most recent ice cream Taste Test Extravaganza? Mocha! It’s creamy, it’s chocolatey, and it has a lovely coffee under-flavor—is that a word? Hrmm, I don’t think so, but it should be! And the coffee flavor?…

Polly’s One & Only Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe – 5 Ways!

PollyFebruary 6, 2010March 7, 2026

Here’s my recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies—it’s the only one I’ve used since 1981!  I haven’t even looked at another chocolate chip cookie recipe since then 🙂 This recipe makes a straight-up chocolate chip cookie; nothing fancy, just pure goodness.…

Banana Chocolate Chip Coffeecake

PollyFebruary 1, 2010March 7, 2026

This is my kids’ favorite, so perhaps I should call it a snack cake rather than a coffeecake. Anyway, I made one this morning, and it was gone in flash. Whatever you call it, it’s baked in a 9x9x2″ pan,…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
