Three toppings are all that's needed to make fresh Margherita Pizza. With so few toppings, each one needs to be as flavorful as possible. This pizza comes together extremely quickly; all you have to do is layer on the toppings and wait for it all to melt in the oven.

Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake

We replicated the flavor profile of Mexican chocolate using semisweet chocolate and cinnamon. If you prefer to use Mexican chocolate, look for it with the hot drink mixes or on the Hispanic food aisle. This moist pound cake is equally delicious without the sauce.
