It’s nearly 10:00 in the evening where I live, and those of you who know me, even remotely, know that it’s about 90 minutes past my bedtime. But I’ve been awake, tooling around online and catchup up on some much needed blog reading. Only moments ago, my eyes feasted upon what quite possibly could be the most magnificent specimen of a peanut butter torte recipe that exists in all mankind.

If y’all haven’t heard me mention her before, Donna Diegel, over at Suite101.com (which is where yours truly writes) does for desserts what I am resolving to do this year. I have breads down, and they’ve become my calling card, but this year, I am aiming to tame the cake decorator in me.

Check out her site, Spatulas, Corkscrews, and Suitcases, and read her latest post. And for that matter, when you need recipe inspiration, check out her site at Suite101. She’s the Featured Writer in the Baking and Desserts category, and with good reason.

After scrolling down her year-in-review post, you’ll be experiencing the same contact high that I am, just by salivating over that peanut butter torte.
