This Flourless Chocolate Black Pepper Cake is the perfect fancy dessert for special occasions or if you are in dire need of a chocolate fix. Flourless chocolate cakes are deceptively effortless and rich. It comes out of the oven with a crackly meringue layer that slowly falls into multiple chocolate fissures hiding the fudgy interior. […]

Spiced Pear Cake with Maple Bourbon Glaze
Happy new year everyone! And what a start! My goal is to have more slow moments this year. 2022 was incredibly fast paced and it left me out of breath. Now that we’ve arrived at January, I feel a nudge to shift to more mindful living. Although, only time will tell if that will last […]
Vegan Big Crumb Apple Cake
Hi everyone! It’s been a while. Things have been going crazy back at home with the Holidays fast approaching. Just this weekend I stopped by the mall to do some errands and was surprised to see (more of hear) the squeals of kids running around. I almost forgot how long it’s been since I’ve seen […]
Matcha Grinch Cakes & Bake Flops
I’ve been feeling under the weather ever since me and my brother finished the second vaccine dose. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had cold sweats. That strange feeling of heat and chill that makes your hair stand on end. To make matters more interesting, we were down to the last 3 anti-fever […]
The Best Ever Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of vanilla. Don’t get me wrong. Vanilla is great with its intoxicating scent and recognizable black specks. But despite vanilla’s best efforts, it has always been butchered throughout my life. It’s sad to say that fake vanilla is more commonplace than the real deal bean. I’ve […]
Simple and Easy Vegan Espresso Banana Muffins
Hey there! I spent the day pulling out old recipe cards from my family’s wicker basket recipe box. Although, I made a digital copy of all the recipes years ago, I still tend to use the hand scribbled ones. Of course, now the paper has yellowed with age and has been smeared with a few […]
Zucchini Loaf Cake with Crunchy Calamansi Glaze
Is it just me or are the days starting to blur together seemingly in a never ending cycle of drudgery. Don’t get me wrong! There are benefits to staying at home and having a lot of downtime with my family. Yet, a part of me longs to see people, go places and experience something different. […]
Moist Vegan Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Hey there peeps! Easter is just around the corner and you know what that means? Easter themed treats! My family usually isn’t the type to go on easter egg hunts (our house is too small for us to be able to “hunt”) but we do enjoy themed baked goods no matter what the occasion. Plus […]
Nutella Swirled Roasted Banana Bread
Doesn’t that sound amazing! Nutella and banana are some of my favorite flavors to combine. My search for the best banana bread has fallen into staggeringly silly territory. Involving me staying up late at night contemplating on optimum banana ripeness or whether I should top my bread with crumble. If there’s anything I’ve learned from […]
Pink Pomelo Madeleines + How to get the signature hump (bosse)
There’s something very charming about madeleines. Maybe it’s their petite size or the ever recognizable seashell shape. Many beginner bakers find them to be quite daunting when in fact, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Madeleines are one of the easiest génoises you can make. Basically, the pan does all the work for you […]
