This basic recipe for Grand Marnier chocolate truffles can be adapted to satisfy all likings: toasted coconut, chopped nuts or confectioners' sugar can replace the cocoa powder, as can any type of alcohol replace the Grand Marnier. Personally I find the classic cocoa-covered truffles to be the most satisfying. Paired with some fresh strawberries these bittersweet chocolate truffles are a truly delectable, if clichéd, Valentine’s Day treat. // alexandracooks.com

I absolutely love this sour cream coffee cake — the texture is super moist, and the orange zest and juice offer the nicest complement to the chocolate. The coconut oil, too, imparts such a nice flavor and smells heavenly while baking. // alexandracooks.com
