This tender, moist miso banana cake with walnuts (pecans are great too) is so easy and fun with an Asian twist. The miso works surprisingly well, giving the classic banana cake a deeper, robust umami flavour that really elevates the cake. The mascarpone cream and caramel walnuts are completely optional, but I thought it's a cake, so a little icing won't hurt.

These nutty semolina tea cakes are quickly mixed and baked using just a few ingredients. With date syrup and balsamic glaze in the batter, they are not too sweet but wonderfully caramelised with an intriguing tanginess. I used walnuts, but any other nuts will work beautifully. Balsamic glaze Balsamic glaze, aka balsamic reduction or cream, is balsamic vinegar that has been simmered until most of the water has evaporated away, leaving a deliciously thick, syrupy glaze with a bold flavour. You can easily buy balsamic glaze from any supermarket but if you have balsamic vinegar at home you can make the glaze yourself. For the amount needed for these tea cakes, simply bring 1 cup balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar (or honey) to boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until it has become syrupy.

This cake is something very special and less guilty as it doesn't contain refined sugar and flavoured with antioxidants-rich matcha. The bright green, Japanese-inspired creation is not just a visual eye-catcher, but also very delicious with its subtle flavour, which contrasts beautifully with the rich mascarpone cream. The fresh sweet figs do the rest to create an unforgettable dessert experience. For the cake batter, I used a mixture of white spelt flour and ground pistachios, but you can replace them with regular wheat flour and the blanched almond flour. Other seasonal fruit can be used instead of figs.

Ideal for afternoon tea with a cuppa or as dessert, this rice pudding slice is the perfect combination of cake and pudd. You can make the rice pudding a day before and store in the fridge after cooling down. The next day follow the recipe to finish the pudding cake. Store the baked pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze the rest for 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat in airfryer or microwave for 2-3 minutes.
To make rice pudding, you need to use those round grain rice varieties like Comolino and Originario. Arborio rice, which is normally sold as risotto rice, is also suitable for rice pudding. In principle, you can cook rice pudding from all starchy round grain rice varieties.

The aubergine makes this chocolate slice wonderfully moist and, with their slightly tart flavour, goes perfectly with the dark chocolate. Once the chocolate cake has cooled, wrap it with a piece of aluminium foil and leave it to rest for another day as it tastes BEST next day. Dare to put these unusual ingredients together? It promises a new taste experience and the flavour is worth it. You will certainly be putting this healthier cake on your coffee table more often.

Finally blackberry time again - and therefore time for a delicious blackberry pastry. Perhaps you have some bushes in your garden or neighbourhood that bear lots of the delicious fruit. If that's the case, then you should definitely try baking this blackberry tart. And of course, you can always go get some from the supermarkets.
Somehow blackberries are always somewhat overshadowed by strawberries, blueberries or raspberries. Yet they are so pretty, flavourful and great for our health! In this cake / tart, I replaced the white sugar with sugar alcohol (you can use either xylitol or erythritol) to make it a less guilty treat. Both pastry and filling can be prepared separately one day ahead, then bake next day. Cool the tart thoroughly before slicing to get a nice clean slice. If you can wait, refrigerate the tart until the filling is set, 1-2 hours.

These kidney bean brownies are perfect if you're looking for a healthy twist on the classic. They are super fudgy thanks to the kidney beans, grain-free and gluten-free. And in case you are wondering if they taste like beans, the answer is no. They actually taste like real brownies. The add of espresso powder gives these brownies even more intense chocolate flavour. Alternatively, use pure vanilla powder instead to provide a fully rounded flavour and enhance the sweetness.

This boiled banana cake is easy to make, tastes delicious and has a soft and tender texture. It stays fresh, moist for several days if you store it well in an air-tight container. You can make this banana cake plain, or use it as a basic recipe. Add spices, nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chunks too. If you don't have spelt, just use regular wheat, plain or whole or a mixture of two. If you fancy, you can always whip up some cream cheese frosting to top the cake or simply dust with some icing sugar.

Infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg, this spiced chai banana bread is moist and flavourful. The warming spices work really well together and are a good contrast with the sweetness of the banana. The white chocolate topping with extra banana chips and ginger makes it even more indulgent and irresistible, though entirely optional.
