Mini Peach Cake
It’s summer which means its peach season! Peaches are definitely one of my favorite fruits so I wanted to make cakes with peaches in them. I thought about including a whole slice of peach in the cake so I decided to make my cakes mini so that one layer can just be the peach itself! I suck at making cakes though, so I struggle. haha. But I still enjoy the process!
Kiwi Lime Pie
Did you know there’s a Friends’ episode where Ross eats Monica’s Kiwi Lime Pie not knowing there’s kiwi in it? He’s allergic and doesn’t have a good reaction. haha. However, my kiwi lime pie will definitely say, I contain kiwis! I saw these beautiful RubyRed kiwis in the market and had to make something with them! So here’s this pie. Or is it a tart? What’s the difference??
Cornbread Loaf
I love corn. And so I also love corn bread! But I find that it could turn out quite dry at times. So I wanted to make one similar to the NYT Cooking’s Meskouta recipe that I love. So I turned the cornbread into a cornbread loaf! It’s has the great aroma of corn while still being so tender and moist! It’s also so easy to put together, so long as you have a blender on hand.
Shiso Lemon Tart
There’s a cafe in Los Angeles called modu cafe that had a perilla lime tart that I really wanted to try but was unable to since it was seasonal! I love the korean perilla leaf but especially love the japanese shiso leaf. Though they’re the same plant, I assume, they taste very different! I was reminded of my shiso lemon ice cream that I made and so wanted to tackle making the very same combination but in tart form! The use of making candied perilla leaves is so smart since many people make candied mint leaves and perillas are a cousin of mint!
Fruit Sando
I love japanese egg sandos. They’re super popular and often bought in 7-11s in Japan along with their sweeter cousin: the fruit sando! I realize that fruit sandos are basically cake. The milk bread acts as the cake layer surrounding lightly sweetened whipped cream and fruit. How can you go wrong with these? They look pretty yet they’re so easy and simple to make!
Chocolate Vinegar Cake
I made chocolate vinegar cake, which may sound weird but is actually super interesting! It’s a Great Depression era recipe that uses pantry items to make a fluffy and airy chocolate cake. I don’t consider it one of the best cakes I’ve made, but it definitely is one of the easiest and simplest!
Shortbread Cookies
This is the third part to my no eggs recipes series!
This shortbread recipe is so easy since it only requires three ingredients: butter, flour, and sugar! Who knew that you can make such delicious cookies with barely anything. These cookies are crisp and buttery.
Earl Grey Panna Cotta and Blueberry Jello
This is my second part of making egg-less desserts since eggs have been either scarce or pricey lately.
I always wanted to try making panna cotta but never got around to it. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to try since it does not contain any eggs and I did! It was much easier than I thought it would be and I changed it up by adding earl grey and blueberries. You should definitely give this simple yet delicious dessert a try!
No Bake Cheesecake
I always crave cheesecake. But since there’s been a lack of eggs in America lately, I’ve been looking for recipes that don’t call for eggs. So here comes this no bake cheesecake! The recipe calls for creating texture with fully whipped cream and imparting flavor with a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese with touches of vanilla and lemon. I don’t know which I prefer more now, the baked or no baked. It’s so good!
Chocolate Cake
I made this chocolate cake for my friend’s birthday but this cake also works perfectly for Valentine’s Day! If you’re searching for a cake that’s all about chocolate, this is it. It’s sweet, decadent, and delicious! And it’s also quite easy to make. You should definitely try it out! :D
