Carrot Cake
Carrot cake recipes were found in the 19th-century cookbook in Switzerland. According to the Culinary Heritage of Switzerland, it is one of the most popular cakes in Switzerland, especially for children’s birthdays. Carrot cake became prevalent in the UK during the Second World War because sugar was rationed in the army. The sweetness from the carrots…
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Sticky toffee pudding is made from a classic cake batter with boiled dates added in. This dough is then traditionally baked in a pudding mould (bowl), not in an oven but in a saucepan, just like the Christmas pudding and many other puddings. It is served hot and topped with a caramel sauce. In this…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies are small, dry, round biscuits with chocolate chips and originated from the United States. These fluffy chocolate chip cookies are secret weapons when you do not know what to bring to a social event. They are also a classic favorite to give to children. Once baked, these soft biscuits are crispy on…
Raspberry Baba au Rhum
Time for some boozy dessert! Raspberry baba au rhum is not the kind of dessert you have for breakfast or the dessert you give to children but a spongy cake soaked in rum and pastry cream. Instead of the usual vanilla pastry cream or whipped cream on Baba au rhum I chose to use the…
Salted Caramel
If you have enjoyed the raspberry macarons or if you want to try something different, you should try the salted caramel version! The macaron shells are the same from the raspberry macaron recipe.

Orange Chocolate Mousse Cake
Decided to combine chocolate mousse and a cake to create an orange chocolate mousse cake. I didn’t want the orange flavor to be too strong so it’s only in the base. The 2 other layers are pure chocolate. Optional: You can change the recipe to include chocolate in all 3 layers; same with the orange…
Raspberry Millefeuille
Millefeuille is another pastry that you can find in any boulangerie in France. Commonly flavored with vanilla pastry cream, I made this raspberry millefeuille for Valentine’s Day (I know I’m late) with raspberry pastry cream. I decided to use the raspberry pastry cream to have a refreshing flavor of raspberry to it and to add a romantic…
Caramelised Apple Cake
Have you heard of or tried a caramelised apple cake before? If you haven’t you should! First off, the middle of the cake consists of nice caramelised apples and then it’s topped off with caramel over it. Optional: can add raisins, rum or cinnamon.
Cardamom Infused Lemon Curd Cake
Cardamom and citrus are always an enjoyable combination with tea. So I combined these 2 flavors into a cardamom infused lemon curd cake. It comes with a spongy texture along with a creamy one making it a great tasty contrast. The curd recipe is based on the one made for my sweet & sour lemon…
Fistik Sarma
I had the best Fistik Sarma during my recent trip to Turkey. It was soft with a strong green pigmentation and a dominant taste of pistachio. I wanted to replicate this recipe once I got back home, but was only able to find recipes in Turkish. I had to watch a few videos to get…
