This Streusel-Topped Apple Cinnamon Custard Cake is buttery and aromatic with apples and warm spices. A couple years ago during apple season, I made the most amazing Apple-Almond Streusel Muffins and told you how fabulous my mom’s apple pie is. Now I’m sharing a new apple dessert (still not pie!), that apple lovers will go crazy for (but if you’re really hankering for apple pie, I have you covered with my Apple Slab Pie with Nutty Oat Crumble Topping!)....
Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream
This Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream is the perfect festive treat to whip up if you’re in the mood for a little fall baking! I seriously hope you haven’t reached your quota of pumpkin spice latte fun yet this fall because this cake is one of the best pumpkin creations to come out of my kitchen in a while. And come on, you probably still have a can of pumpkin in your pantry…or maybe even half a can or so in your fridge that you’re wondering how to use up? I have you covered....
Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cake with Blueberries and Ginger
This Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cake with Blueberries and Ginger is deeply chocolaty, rich, and moist, with complex fruity flavor notes thanks to the addition of olive oil, blueberries, and ginger. We all have a favorite oil, whether it is coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, or something else. Like any other staple, our favorite oil is always in our pantry, and it’s often what we reach for when we want to make everything from fried eggs to muffins to sautéed vegetables. For a lot of us, olive oil reigns supreme because if it’s flavor, cooking versatility, and health benefits....
Cheddar-Caramel Chicago Mix Cupcakes
So, Chicago Mix. You sweet, salty, sultry little vixen, you. I think you might very well be the one and only trashy snack from the junk food aisle that tempts me. But you tempt me so badly I avoid that aisle like the plague....
Carrot Cake with Maple Buttercream for Two
When I shared my Valentine’s recipe for Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream for Two, a friend asked (no, challenged was the word she used ;) ) me to come up with a healthy, yet indulgent carrot cake recipe that serves one or two....
Cardamom Saffron Cake {Inspired by the Kuwaiti Cake Qors Oqaily}
When Mike and I returned to the U.S. last July after spending a year in Kuwait, it was surprisingly unceremonious for us, which felt weird because spending a year there was definitely life-changing for me in so many ways....
Pineapple Cardamom Coffee Cake with Coconut Crumb Topping
For years I was the girl who only ordered New York-style coffee cake at coffee shops. Once I saw that mile-high topping on display, I wouldn’t even waste a passing glance at anything else....
Lemon Almond Cake Recipe (Paleo)
This paleo Lemon Almond Cake Recipe has a dense, but moist and tender crumb, and is sweetly aromatic with vanilla and lemon. When I was younger, I hated any and all lemon-flavored desserts with a passion. Lemon bars, lemon meltaway cookies, and even lemon meringue pie were all on my “avoid at all costs list”. (But oddly enough, I was a big fan of super sour lemon-flavored WarHeads candy – does anyone else remember those? Incidentally, I consider this proof positive that there is no rhyme or reason to kids’ tastes.)...
Yellow Banana Cake with Whipped Dark Chocolate Ganache
Let’s talk birthday cake for a quick minute. Do you have the same cake every year, or do you switch it up?...
Tropical Papaya-Coconut Cake
Oh boy is this cake good – a little too good to just have chilling in my fridge on a random weekday. Despite how delicious it is, this cake is actually quite unsightly; it doesn’t rise much and the top is craggy. But as far as looks go, not to worry because all will be well; a craggy top is nothing a little glaze can’t fix....
