Lemon Chia Seed Cake
My favorite cakes are moist, but not buttery cakes. I was sick for a few days and loaded up on lemons, so I just figured out I obviously had to do something involving lemons. And what’s better than a lemon cake? This lemon cake with chia seeds nailed it in terms of texture, and from now on I’ll be following the same ratios in baking. Rule number one, for moist cakes, is to use 1/4 cup of butter for every cup of butter. Another thing is to make use of brown or coconut sugar! sugar The darker color of this cake comes from the fact I subsituted about 2/3 of…
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
If there is one recipe every baking enthusiast needs, it’s a good ol’ chocolate chip recipe. Easy and fast to make, gooey, and perfect for any occasion (or non-occasion).

The Best Banana Bread Recipe
If you follow my instagram, you probably know how much I love bananas, and banana bread. It’s most definitely in my top 3 favorite desserts. I have made many banana bread variations among the years. My first attempts ended up too “banany” (if that’s even a word!) or too dense, and not enough fluffy. I made this cake yesterday evening, and I absolutely fell in love with the texture of it. Banana bread is super easy to make, and you probably already have all you need at home. I always keep some bananas with me at home, some frozen to quickly threw into a smoothie or to make banana “ice…
