Lemon Cream Cheese Cake

I simply can’t resist lemon and cream cheese together, so obviously I needed to put them together in a recipe! This cake is super soft and has lots of citrusy notes thanks to all the lemon zest in the batter and lemon juice in the cream cheese frosting. A bit of cream cheese in the actual cake batter makes this cake a bit lighter. It’s pure simplicity and pure perfection!

What I love about this cake, even more than its amazing taste, is that it’s so simple and yet people go crazy for it. Everyone loves a good lemon cake. Most people probably have a nostalgic story attached to one, no matter…

I promise you can get a prettier swirl than mine, but you have to keep reading to understand why is that!

Soft and Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

If you want a chocolate chip banana bread that’s extremely moist, soft, tender and full of chocolate, this is the one you need to make!!

Sour cream and oil is what makes this banana bread ultra moist. This cake is so simple I promise you’ll have it on repeat!

What so special about this banana bread? It’s made with cake flour, which typically is a big NO for loaf cakes or quick breads, such as. And if you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m not a banana bread gal. But, as a professional content creator who share things that nobody asked, it’s my responsibility…

Pink Grapefruit Cream Cheese Pound Cake

I can’t even begin to tell you how soft and tender this pink grapefruit cream cheese pound cake is. The addition of cream cheese adds a lot of creaminess in a pretty neutral way, without adding any cream cheese flavor. I used cake flour for a very tender and lighter crumb, giving this cake a very special and delicate texture that feels right out of a tea party sweets cart. A bit of vegetable oil adds so much moisture to this cake and also helps it stay moist and delicious for days!

It has been a while since I have eaten a cake simply for the pure joy that it brings, no celebration or special dinner necessary. And I’m so happy I used pink grapefruit for this one. Even if I don’t eat many fruits, I have always loved pink grapefruit, especially it’s juice. But I haven’t give…

This cake guys! It’s an almond loaf cake with sour notes thanks to the buttermilk and sour cream in the batter. It has a tight crumb and yet it’s super soft because I used cornstarch in it to make homemade cake flour. I used almond extract instead of vanilla to let those buttermilk notes shine. And then you hit that sweet and tangy glaze that I made using lemon juice and hibiscus tea. It’s totally addictive! Not kidding! I ate one and a half piece in one sitting because it’s addictive powers. So beware and eat at your own risk!
