It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This secret ingredient in this decadent Italian-style chocolate cake is olive oil.
serves/makes:
ready in:
30-60 minutes
30-60 minutes
ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa powder, plus extra for cake pans
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 cups cold water
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil, vanilla, vinegar, and water and beat on low speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans. Place the pans in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake the cakes.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans on a wire rack. Once fully cool, remove the cakes from the pans and frost as desired.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
