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.

Are you on team muffins or team cupcakes? Personally I prefer unfrosted muffins with a classic domed muffin top to cupcakes, which can be quite sugary sweet and unhealthy, though much more decorative and prettier. You can add nuts, seeds, fruits or other mix-ins to make muffins really interesting and less guilty. The batter of these muffins come together really quickly. However, I decided to make these muffins with creaming method, so the texture is much more airy and lighter, and add a coconut macaroon top, just for fun and extra chew. If you want to use muffin-method (combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine them), you definitely can.

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.

For once, the pancakes are not served sweet for breakfast, but in a savoury version with smoked salmon and a hazelnut vinaigrette as a light meal. I used a springform pan to make a huge baked pancake, but you can make the regular one in a skillet. Besides smoked salmon, you can also serve the pancakes with poached eggs, or some stirfried chicken.

This cornbread is a perfect harmony of sweet, spicy, tangy, and earthy, making it an ideal accompaniment for stews and soups, grilled meat or salads. I have used jalapeño and Gruyère, but other chilli peppers and cheeses would work just as fine. If you prefer it extra spicy, just leave the jalapeños seeds in. The cornbread is delicious on its own, with some butter or honey lime glaze. It is completely optional, but I strongly recommend it as it adds a tangy sweetness and zesty kick that elevate the flavours to a whole new level and take your mood on a delightful turn! Leftovers can be frozen, or cut them into cubes to make croutons for soups and salads.

Not only does it look great, it also tastes incredibly delicious. Besides, there's nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning. And when it's accompanied by delicious vegetables such as peas, carrots, zucchini or broccoli, it’s even better.
This bread should be baked in plenty of steam because it needs a high level of humidity for a nice crust. So, it is best to place an oven safe bowl or tray of hot water in the oven. The bread can also be shaped into a round and baked in a closed roasting tin in its own steam. The bread will stay fresh for longer if stored in a stainless steel box or ceramic pot.

These crispy bulgur kebabs with a fruity, spicy and sweet mango dip - delicious, quick and easy to prepare! I used fine spelt bulgur from DM drugstore, but you can use regular bulgurs from durum or red wheat. Carob syrup is made from the pods of the carob tree and characterised by its rich, dark colour, similar to molasses, and has a fruity, sweet flavour. It is low in fat, high in fibre, and packed with minerals. If you can’t find carob syrup, then simply use molasses instead.

No yeast? No problem! This simple loaf doesn't need yeast and is really quick and easy to make, so it's perfect to whip up quickly for unexpected guests. I used a mixture of plain flour and whole spelt flour, but you can experiment with what you have. Enjoy it with lots of salted butter or black tahini on top. It’s best eaten within a couple of days, or you can slice and freeze it to toast later.

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.
