With a fun quilt pattern, this poppyseed cake with a cheesecake topping really makes a statement. Not only does it look great, but it also tastes fabulous. This cake recipe offers a little variety and a wow flavour experience that you don’t want to miss out. Schmand is German sour cream with a much higher fat content than regular sour cream. No Schmand, no problem, use crème fraîche instead. If you're feeling adventurous, swapping some homemade eggnog for the buttermilk. I have baked this cake for a few times with different ingredients and temperatures, and the first time I prepared the batter with eggnog and baked at 190C/375F for 50 minutes for a more golden topping. The cake was very tender on first day, and became slightly dry on the 2nd day, but still very good. Other times all with buttermilk and baked at 180C/350 for 45 minutes until lightly browned and it stayed very tender and soft even after 3rd day.

These savory French madeleines are moist, tender, and filled with wonderful cheesy herbal flavour from nutty French Comté and fresh piney rosemary. They're best eaten warm from the oven, but will keep in an airtight container for up to two days. Enjoy it with a glass of Champagne.
If the madeleines didn't get the signature humps or bumps, it is likely that the batter wasn't cold enough. It is the heat shock of baking a cold cake batter on a very hot oven that creates the bumps. So make sure that you chill the batter for at least 2 hours. I left mine overnight. Don’t over fill the mould cavities, or the batter will overflow, and your madeleines will be flattened.

This nutty fruity crumb cake is perfect for brunch, as a dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. They are scrumptious by themselves, with some clotted cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead of butter, I used tahini to make the streusel, and sweetened the whole cake with a mix of date syrup and erythritol. If you want to make this gluten free, replace white spelt flour with oat flour.

Light and floral lavender cupcakes are fun, delicious and beautiful! If you are looking for a light dessert for entertaining, these moist and light cupcakes are truly perfect. The cake base is lavender flavoured, sweetened with honey and erythritol and crowned with a cream cheese frosting.
While lavender plays an important role in cosmetics, the plant is often used to flavour dishes in Mediterranean cuisine. They can be found in teas and lemonades, in marmalade, in cakes or as a special flavouring in savoury meat dishes. Conjure up a Provence ambience with these delicate cupcakes and enjoy the extraordinary combination of flavours.

Muffins with licorice toffee? To be honest, that sounds a bit strange at first, doesn't it? I tried the combination anyway, since my husband loves licorice. Anyone expecting a standard sweet muffin probably won’t like the licorice flavour. But if you like licorice candy, and are adventurous enough to try new things, then these licorice toffee muffins are perfect for you. You can use either sweet or salted licorice for the recipe. To intensify the flavour, add a couple of tablespoons of licorice liqueur to the batter too.

Don’t miss this moist Danish coffee cake if you love cinnamon and enjoy gooey, sticky caramelized treats. Brunsviger in the shape of a man or woman is typically decorated with icing and candy for birthday celebrations, and baked in a square or round pan, it’s also perfect for Sunday breakfast, as a thank-you gift or as an accompaniment to afternoon tea and coffee. Easy to make and simply delicious. When making indentations for the caramel topping, make them deep, but don’t break through the bottom of the dough.
Brunsviger, popular throughout Denmark, was originally baked without cinnamon. When it was first mentioned in the “Ordbog over det danske Sprog”, a dictionary of the Danish language in the 1930s, the cake was described as a yeast dough cake with a brown sugar and butter topping. Since then, however, the cinnamon version has become particularly well-known and popular.
“Brunsviger” has no direct English translation as it’s believed to be named after the German city “Braunschweig”, a city in central Germany or “Brunsvig” in Danish. The Danish historian and former museum director at Copenhagen City Museum, Bi Skaarup found out from old recipe books that a “Braunschweiger Dickkuchen” (another name for yeast cake) was widespread in Germany in the 19th century and resembles the Danish Brunsviger so much that it must be the same delicious pastry. Another tale goes back to a time where German workers in a small Danish town, brought with them a simple yet delicious idea: bread topped with sugar and butter, baked to crispy, sweet, buttery perfection!

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.
