Today I made this fun looking Banana Split Cake to share with you guys. I love banana bread! Recently I made this Banana Split Brioche French Toast Stack so it just seemed natural to me to make a bread out of it, too. One thing […]

OREO ICE CREAM CAKE
I figured out the solution to my problem–buy the single stuffed oreos rather than the double stuffed ones. They tend to last a bit longer. But I still had to make this one quick before Scott caught on to my trickery. Same thing with the […]
LEMON CURD CHEESECAKE BARS
In a perfect world, Mondays would include obscene amounts of cheesecake first thing in the morning. Better yet – in a perfect world, Mondays wouldn’t exist. Especially Mondays before a biochem exam, which are obviously the worst kind of Mondays ever. I mean, those call […]
SKINNY CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CUPCAKES
These little babies here (the cupcakes, not the zucchinis. Dad picked one which was seventy times the size of my head yesterday, so there’s no way I can call them “little babies”), are the way I’ll be using this three-tons worth of summer produce. Who’s complaining? Not […]
Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Cake
This cake. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have a proper oven in my dorm because I’d totally give up on life and spend the rest of my days laying in bed in my pyjamas, re-watching GoT for the 22738th time devouring slice after slice […]
Skinny Brown Sugar Vanilla Cheesecake
Though truth to be true, the portion of cheesecake I had was the tiniest thing ever, which kinda makes me want to cry, since this one is one of the most decadent, luscious and creamiest recipes I’ve ever come across. Too bad I made this […]
Cinna-bun Cake In The Oven
Cinna-bun cake is one of the trendiest foods in the world. Chinese cuisine is one of my favorites, and I love it. I watched a video of this recipe while browsing the internet and just had to make it. There were variations, ways, and ingredients […]
Giant Molten Dark Chocolate Brownie Cake
This dessert has the texture of a brownie, but uses the technique of a cake…..it kind of has two personalities. It starts with creaming butter and sugar. You’ve done that before right? The sugar crystals pierce through the fat and introduce air, creating little tiny […]
4-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Cake (gluten-free)
This Chocolate Mousse Cake will become a regular for you. I’m about 97% sure of this. It uses only 4 ingredients – ones that I’m certain you have in your pantry.We need dark chocolate, butter, eggs and just a touch of sugar. If you have a bit more effort in you, a […]
Chocolate Chip Coconut Milk Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
One of my favourite candy bars when I was a child was Bounty. Top it off with an almond and it becomes Mounds. My Nonna used to give us change so we could walk down to the corner store and buy snacks – I always […]
Deep Dark Chocolate Soufflé Cake
As the story of a soufflé goes, we need to separate eggs. This cake is no different. The easiest way to do this is with your hands. The whites will slide right past your fingers and you can gently cradle the yolk and transfer it […]
Skinny Dark Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Well, it is Valentine’s time again! I know so many people have mixed emotions about this holiday, but we should all look on the bright side – it is a perfect reason to have your cake and eat it, too! This dark chocolate cake is […]
LUSCIOUS LENTIL SPICE CAKE
There is something about winter that makes me crave spice cake. Even while the cake is baking, I feel comforted – the whole house fills with a warm and comforting smell. I decided to make a carrot cake and I love the idea of sneaking […]
Carrot cake ice cream
I recently had lunch at a charming restaurant in Constantia where they had carrot cake ice cream on the menu. Intrigued, I just had to try it, but sadly it was a little lacking—just a bog-standard vanilla ice cream with bits of cake mixed through […]
ORANGE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CAKE
Is it a brownie, or is it cake? Should you have it for breakfast or dessert? Does it taste like chocolate orange or the most decadent truffle? Not that you will care about its name when you’re busy shoveling slice after slice into your mouth. […]
