Collegiate Cook’s Nutella-Filled Birthday Cake
Happy 5th birthday, Collegiate Cook! In blog years, this site is practically a senior citizen. In college years, it’s probably still a semester or two away from graduation (perhaps perpetually a semester or two away). Several times over the past few years I’ve thought about shutting it down, passing the baton or evolving it into […]
The Special Chocolate Coconut Cookie
By Samantha Allen Sometimes people aren’t so good at making cookies for whatever reason—their flour is old, they set the temperature too high, they didn’t let the dough sit, or maybe they just had no clue what a sifter looks like. And because of a few duds, they convince themselves they can’t bake. To that […]

Green Velvet Greek Yogurt Cake Tops (& Homemade Ice Cream Sammies!)
It has recently come to my attention that I only know two ways to bake: decadent and indulgent. Those may seem like synonyms, but trust me, there’s a hair of difference. Decadent will make you physically ill if you eat the whole thing; indulgent will not. Or so I tell myself. With that in mind, I […]
Banana Pudding in Honor of Dr. Maya Angelou
Growing up, I always took the word “teacher” for granted. Sure, it’s part of the title given to that middle school substitute who turned on the TV and took a nap during biology. But as with any career, there’s the here-for-the-paycheck crowd, and those who live and breathe that title, where it’s fused into who […]
Baking Mistakes that Lead to Subpar Cookies
If you’ve ever wanted to throw out your oven because the “world’s best” cookie recipe was a dud the second time you tried it, you’re not alone. Sometimes, the tiniest changes can ensure you get a killer batch of cookies every single time. (And don’t worry, we won’t get tediously technical on you—maybe a […]
Fudgy Brownie Showdown: Nutella Swirl Vs. Peanut Butter Cup
Brownies are the perfect long day, my-brain-is-fried-so-please-don’t-talk-to-me treat. You can pretty much make them on autopilot, and whether you spring for a boxed mix or make them from scratch, there’s hardly any legwork and the payoff is HUGE. The best part, though? Brownies are like pancakes: they’re begging for mix-ins! They make things that much […]
3-Ingredient Crunchy Chocolate Bars
It’s late. You’re craving a candy bar (even just a little bite), but you’re not feeling like making that trek to the convenience store. As long as you have chocolate chips and some cereal on hand, you don’t have to. These Crunchy Chocolate Bars are the best way to make use of that old ice […]
