Blueberries Victoria Cake
​Wanted to make a Victoria Sponge but had no strawberries, so it’s a Blueberries Sponge 😉 Also, after I made this cake I learnt that my flatmate apparently hates blueberries (or any fruit in cakes!!) (and billions of other food!) and it’s getting harder and harder to make anything that fits her taste. Anyways, this cake was definitely delicious and I love how blueberries and their juice mix with the cake to give something super moist, colorful and yummy 🙂 Hope you like it! e cake with some icing sugar [/recipe-directions]
Apple Cinnamon Cake
So yesterday, as I was doing groceries with my flatmate, I saw some walnuts and I immediately thought of making an apple cake with walnuts. I love how they bring a crunchy side to cakes 😊
Healthier American-Style Blueberries Pancakes
I love saturdays (and week-ends in general) cause I have enough time to wake up and make myself more elaborated breakfasts. One thing I absolutely (and I think everyone) love is pancakes with syrup. I made these american style pancakes today, and I’m sure you’ll like them 🙂 They’re best served with some greek yoghurt and berries.
7 Healthy Snacks Ideas
Who doesn’t love snacking ? Definitely not me! I snack all the time. In our busy lives, it’s easy to buy some chips or sweet “energy” bars (which are definitely more like treats!) at the serving machine but these don’t live you satiated and they’re full of nasty stuff. Not what you body needs. Here are 7 easy on-the-go snacks you can make at home and take with you 🙂 Rice cakes with cottage or cheese and tuna Some low-fat cheese, tortilla chips and grapes Toast with peanut butter and strawberries Toast with mashed avocado and boiled egg Protein chocolate-peanut butter smoothie Rice cakes with avocado and salmon Tortilla wrap…
Chocolate Cake with Ganache
Cinnamon and Raisins Loaf
So the other day, while I was making cinnamon rolls, I ended up with an additional milk + yeast mixture. I contemplated throwing it away for like 10sec, then I decided to make a brioche – but not your average loaf. Whomever invented the cinnamon + raisins” is a pure genius. Because it works anywhere. In cakes, pancakes, cookies, bagels, and now bread. Well, the brioche kinda turned out into a bread while I was adding the ingredients (intuitive baking at its finest I guess). That’s usually what happens when I aim to make a salad and end up with cookies. Cookies happens, guys. But enough talking, let’s get to…
Cinnamon Rolls
If using the milk straight from the fridge, warm it up the milk a little bit (not too much so as not to kill the yeast) Mix it with the yeast In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt Gradually add the milk+yeast mixture Add the softened butter Add the egg Work the dough until you get a firm and soft ball. Cover and place in a warm area (such as the oven with the lights turned on) for one hour, (tip: you can place it inside a blanket to help it rise faster) After one hour, spread the dough to make a rectangular shape about 5-7 mm thick Spread…
Mini Pains Viennois
Pain viennois is one of my favorite types of bread. It is soft, the top is crusty, and it is perfect to make sandwhiches. Made it the other day and I am quite pleased with the result. Hope you like it 🙂
Vegan Banana Bread
By now, can you tell what’s my favorite fruit ? The best thing that can happen to me is to find a perfectly ripped banana. I often make banana bread and twist my recipe, but this time I wanted to try and make an entirely vegan version. And gosh, you won’t even realize this hasn’t got any butter, eggs, or milk. Actually, I completely messed up my first attempt. Didn’t put enough flour and the cake ended up just too oily. Anyways, enough talking, let’s get to serious things 😎
Lemon Tart
Lemon tart is both my mom’s and my aunt’s favorite. Actually, whenever my mom makes it, my aunt just has to drop by and take half of it. No lie. My mom’s version is a bit more acid as she puts less sugar. This was my first attempt ever at making a lemon tart, and I gotta say I am quite happy with how it turned out. The filling is sweet and quite creamy as well. Hope you try it 🙂
