The classic buttery graham cracker crust is the perfect base for this cheesecake.

Angel Food Cake with Blackberry Whipped Cream

Angel Food Cake is a beautiful kind of cake. Is airy, foamy and it has a velvety that feels like a marriage between a pound cake and a cheesecake. It’s made solely with egg whites as the leavening agent and no butter, oil or milk. I topped this delicious angel food cake with a blackberry whipped cream for a sweet and tart contrast. It’s a lovely cake and you will be loving it after the first bite!

Biscoff Dulce de Leche Meringue Cheesecake

Never would I have thought that the thin spiced cookies that have saved my life in many flights would become one of the best cheesecake crust I have ever made. Because they have more fat than graham crackers, the consistency of this crust is softer, almost cakey, and blends so deliciously when mixed with the cheesecake. I thought dulce de leche would pair perfectly with them. Both have notes of warm and spiced caramel. The Italian meringue on top makes this cheesecake something so good you will make sure a big piece remains on your fridge before sharing it with anyone!

This recipe has been in my notebook for a few weeks now. I’m very happy to finally share it with you, just in time for the holidays. As you probably know by now…

If you’ve been around here, you know I’m a bit lazy when it comes to creating elaborate decorations. Probably a combination of laziness and lack of skills in reality because to tell you the truth, I don’t know much about highly specialized techniques to make fancy candy decorations. What I love to do is to use…

Devil's Food Cake with Coconut Italian Meringue

This devil’s food cake is for true chocolate cake lovers. It has the purest taste of chocolate. It’s rich and decadent and not apologetic at all when it comes to be the sinful-lest cake among all other cakes. I used Dutch processed cocoa powder for that intense chocolate flavor and used both cake flour and all-purpose flour for a very light crumb and texture. A bit of buttermilk did wonders for the texture too, making it impossibly fluffy, even for a chocolate cake! If you are ready to experience a chocolate cake on it’s purest form, then this cake is totally for you!

Actually, this one was really for my husband as his birthday cake. He has always loved chocolate cakes in any form, but he loves the most pure and simple chocolate cakes where…
