Best Banana Bread

One of my favorite comforting treats for breakfast, snacks, tea time or dessert is a good homemade banana bread. This one is moist and scrumptious, and based on a breakfast I enjoyed at a retreat center once. It’s also a great way to use up leftover bananas.

Lilikoi (Passionfruit) Curd

The tangy flavor gave me the inspiration of making lilikoi curd – like British lemon curd, somewhere between a sauce and a custard in consistency.

Coffee Walnut Battenberg Cake

This Battenberg cake pairs a moist vanilla sponge with a rich coffee and walnut sponge, arranges them in a checkerboard with buttercream, then surrounds the whole thing in smooth, sweet marzipan.

Matcha Clementine Cupcakes

These matcha clementine cupcakes are made with part almond flour, and decorated with clementine curd and chocolate buttercream. The combination is fantastic! Chocolate hits first, then clementine, then the kick of matcha right at the end. What a party on your tongue.

Pistachio Raspberry Cupcakes

Pistachios and raspberries. I’ve been hearing about this flavor combination for some time now. I was curious to see what it tastes like, so I made these pistachio raspberry cupcakes, adding a small brownie on top for a complementary third flavor.

Lemon Raisin Scones

Take one of these lemon raisin scones, slice and fill it with fruit and cream or butter and jam, and you have a classic British teatime snack.

Chocolate Blueberry Tarts

I’ve never paired blueberries and chocolate before, but I had some leftover chocolate buttercream and some frozen blueberries so I thought I’d give it a try! They were a big hit. The sweetness of the chocolate and the freshness of the berries balance very nicely.

Triple Threat Chocolate Brownie Surprise Cupcakes

You take a moist cupcake batter, scoop a dollop of rich brownie batter into the center, bake, and cover with delicate chocolate buttercream frosting and dots of whipped cream. What’s not to like? Also, it’s all vegan.
