Mini Raspberry Cakes
These Mini Raspberry Cakes make a wonderful dessert, as everyone gets their own individual cake. With the pretty pink cream, they are perfect for Valentine’s Day, or for anyone who loves raspberries.
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
If you’re a chocoholic like me, you need to make this Chocolate Olive Oil Cake! It’s rich, luscious and oh-so-decadent. Basically everything you could want in a chocolate cake! The chocolate flavour is intensified with a silky chocolate glaze, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is perfect to celebrate the tantalizing flavours of Fall! It’s light and fluffy, packed full of delicious pumpkin flavour and warming spices. The cake is paired with a silky cream cheese frosting which makes it truly irresistible.
Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes
These Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes light and fluffy and are filled with pieces of fresh peaches. Each little cake is topped with peach slices for an elegant, yet easy dessert.
If you’re looking for a simple dessert to use up the last of your Summer peaches, this is it! I’ve made upside down peach cakes in the past, and I thought to myself, why not make mini ones using a muffin pan?! It worked like a treat (as long as your muffin pan is greased really well!) and the little cakes go so well with a scoop or two of your favourite ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Simply Strawberry Cake
An easy cake, where the strawberries shine. This Simply Strawberry Cake contains one pound of fresh strawberries and once you make it, you’ll see why it’s one of my favourite cakes.
If you’re in need of an impressive dessert at your next dinner party, may I suggest this cake?! The strawberries are hulled, halved, and then arranged in a layer on top of the batter. Once it’s done baking, some of the berries will inevitably sink into the cake itself, but a decent number still sit on top, making for one beauty of a cake. Your guests will love you even more for this cake.
Gingerbread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This Gingerbread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is bursting with flavour thanks to the spices and molasses. It will make a delicious addition to your holiday spread.
I’ve loved gingerbread ever since I was a kid, devouring as many gingerbread men as I could before the season was over. I couldn’t wait to make it in cake form, to create a cake that’s fluffy, moist and full of spice.
Mint Cakery
I’d been wanting to try Mint Cakery for quite some time, but never made the trek to Point Chevalier. Ellerslie is much closer to where my mother lives, so now I’m back home until the end of December, I knew I had to pay the new space a visit.
Mint Cakery now has a much larger space after moving from Point Chevalier, its home for the past 2.5 years, to Ellerslie. At 40 square metres, the new cafe dwarfs the previous one at only 18 square metres.
Mint Cakery is owned by Michelle Bevan, who started out selling her cakes at the Mt Albert Market. Michelle and her partner Darren Jarrett also own Table Talk, a cafe in Remuera.
Cherry Poppy Seed Loaf
Is anybody else in disbelief that the summer is drawing to an end?! I feel like it only just started. Summer is definitely my favourite of all the seasons. I live for the beach, swimming pools and dining al fresco. I couldn’t let the summer pass without baking a cherry recipe. Cherries are one of my most-loved summer fruits and I can never get enough of cherry desserts. I love this cherry poppy seed loaf because it’s not overly sweet and has a lovely lemony flavour that goes so well with the poppy seeds. The sugar and lemon zest are rubbed together with your fingers to release the oil in the zest, which in turn gives a richer lemon flavour. This cake is just the thing to use up the last of your summer cherries. If you don’t have fresh cherries, you can substitute frozen ones. You could also use different fruits in this recipe, such as plums or raspberries.
Blueberry Lime Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
I’m so excited that Summer is almost here, and all the beautiful berries and other Summer fruits are coming into season. I just wish this crazy NYC weather would sort itself out! One day it’s hot and sunny and the next (like today) it’s a lot cooler and raining. There is so much fog today…
