Microwave Biscoff Mug Cake

July 18, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A white mug holds a fluffy Biscoff mug cake topped with a whole Biscoff cookie, a broken piece, and melted Biscoff spread.

Sometimes you just need something sweet, and you need it now. Like, five minutes ago. That’s where this 5 min Biscoff Mug Cake comes in. Seriously, it’s a microwave cake that’s ready in less than five minutes from start to finish. It’s got that amazing Biscoff flavour from the crushed cookies mixed right into the batter. And the texture is […]

Healthier Banana Coffee Cake

June 29, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A slice of banana coffee cake with a streusel topping and cinnamon swirl is on a white plate with a fork; more cake is on a wooden board.

So I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make some favourite recipes a little lighter without losing any of the good stuff. Like, you know, still having that real bakery taste. This healthier banana coffee cake is totally it. It still has all the banana flavour, that nice cinnamon swirl, and a crumbly top, but […]

Carrot Sheet Cake

June 13, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A fork punctures a square slice of carrot cake topped with thick cream cheese frosting and walnuts on a white plate.

If you’re looking for a really good carrot cake, this is it. This carrot sheet cake is super moist, has a tender crumb and a creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting on top, finished with toasted pecans. A big part of what makes this cake so good is the sour cream in the batter, which keeps it incredibly […]

Lemon Blueberry Loaf

June 10, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A glazed blueberry lemon loaf is sliced on a wooden board, with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, and a bowl of glaze nearby.

I just made this lemon blueberry loaf and it’s so good, you have to try it. It’s super moist and has this bright flavour from the lemons, with sweet bursts from the blueberries. Honestly, it’s just a really lovely loaf, perfect for any time you want something a bit special but still easy. The secret to getting […]

Marble Bundt Cake

May 31, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A marble bundt cake, dusted with powdered sugar, sits on a white plate with a slice removed, revealing the chocolate and vanilla swirl.

I’ve been baking a lot of Bundt cakes lately, and this super moist marble Bundt cake recipe is just so good I had to share it. It’s got a classic vanilla and chocolate swirl, but it’s not dry at all. It’s super tender, really flavourful, and makes a beautiful centrepiece without being fussy. The secret […]

Hojicha Castella

May 14, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

Three slices of hojicha castella cake with a delicate brown crumb are stacked on a white plate with a fork, with more slices in the background.

I’ve been playing around with castella cake recipes for a while now, and this jiggly Hojicha Castella cake is my current favourite. Castella is a classic Japanese sponge cake, known for its super light, bouncy, and moist texture. The hojicha powder adds a lovely roasted green tea flavour that’s warm and a bit nutty, making […]
