Pumpkin Bundt Cake

It is a quiet, autumny Saturday, and there is nothing more comforting than a homemade bundt cake. Whenever my husband and I feel like having a homemade cake, we always choose the bundt cake (the so-called ciambellone in Italian). And it is incredibly easy to make as well. Since Halloween is approaching, I’ve made a …

Creamy Chocolate Sauce Tarts with a Panna Cotta Twist

Finally, a new recipe after a very long time. I realize that I haven’t had much time to work on the blog because of life stuff, work stuff, then again life stuff plus life stuff, and work stuff with more work stuff… I have been asked quite a lot lately if I feel the pressure …

Stuffed Braided Bread

Even though my husband is the Bread Master of the house, I occasionally make it as well. I find the kneading process quite relaxing, and a good workout for the arms! And obviously, watching the dough rising is extremely rewarding. Today I propose a stuffed braided bread, which is ideal for a buffet party or …

Lemon, Yogurt and Thyme Loaf

Lemon and yogurt is a pairing that everyone knows. Adding fresh thyme will take your loaf to the next level and will bring a pleasant surprise to the palate. For this cake I used a 30cm x 12cm loaf tin.

Chai Carrot Cake

I love discovering new flavors when I cook and bake. I find inspiration mostly on the Internet, social media, and cookbooks, and this cake is an example of it. This time my inspiration comes from Foodess for the base recipe and from the cookbook New Way to Cake of Benjamina Ebuehi for the chai flavours. I’ve …
