The almond butter and the natural gooeyness of ripe bananas help this Almond Butter Banana Bread stay tender, soft, and fluffy for days. Made with just 2 to 3 bananas and a short list of short-and-sweet simple baking ingredients, this loaf is naturally moist, light in texture, and full of banana flavor, without feeling heavy. The almond butter adds richness and structure, while the crunchy topping brings the kind of contrast that keeps you coming back for another slice.
There’s something so comforting about walking into your kitchen, rolling up your sleeves, grabbing whatever ingredients you have on hand, and still ending up with something as cozy and satisfying as this banana bread. I’m completely obsessed with these kinds of recipes, especially now, as we ease our way into the new year. And the fact that you only need…
You’d never guess this Lemon Chiffon Cake is one of the easiest cakes you can make. She’s tall, golden, and incredibly light! But underneath all that elegance, there’s nothing fussy or complicated going on. If you eat a cloud, I’m pretty sure it would feel like this soft, plushy and light cake. I crowned it with a lemon curd folded in whipped cream for that ultimate lemon bliss.
I have to say that making this cake was incredibly rewarding. It has different components and each requires attention to detail… but the kind that feels meditative and grounding, not overwhelming. From whipping the meringue to folding the…
This cake, guys!
It’s a sour almond loaf with a tangy bite, thanks to the buttermilk and sour cream in the batter. The crumb is tight but soft, almost delicate, thanks to using cake flour mixed with just a small amount of all-purpose flour. I also swapped most of the vanilla for almond extract to let those bright, sour notes shine all the way through. And then—then you hit that sweet lemony glaze, made with lemon juice and steeped hibiscus tea. It’s totally addictive. Not kidding. I ate two slices back to back without blinking. So yes, eat at your own risk.
What I love most about this cake is how naturally it fits into everyday life. You can eat it whenever the moment calls—first thing in the morning with coffee, mid-afternoon for no reason at all, or late at night…
(Update: I included the ingredient’s amounts in grams, added some extra notes and added the recipe card for printing. Post in the same, so a little throwback to 4 ½ years ago. And of course, a short video for you to see how incredibly easy these are done. This recipe is super special for me because it was the last recipe I shot with Mariana by my side. I remember mashing one of these with almond milk so she could taste them, because she loved soft spiced cakes. These pics will be here forever! I hope you love these as much as Mariana and we do!)
These super cute cinnamon mini Bundt cakes filled with dulce de leche were made out of no time and out of a pantry full of nothing. They are super soft and full of cinnamon flavor that goes perfectly with all the dulce de leche inside. But you know what the best part of these cuties is? They are made with...
This Apple Cider Donut Cake is the best proof that real magic isn’t in a prince kiss but in a delicious well-baked cake! This cake is full of apple flavor because it uses apple cider in all of its steps. I slightly reduced the apple cider to subtly intensify the apple flavor without it being too sweet or overpowering. A dash of cinnamon makes the apple flavor shine. And don’t dare skipping the cinnamon-sugar coating! That crusty sugary part it’s what will make you want to bite this cake so badly!
A fairy friend of mine told me that the key of this cake is using bright red and juicy non-poisonous apples. She once learned a thing or two about suspicious fruit, but had to wait a very long time to tell the world, if you know what I’m talking about. Now she doesn’t wait for any enchanted anything
This classic soft and moist Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake is bursting with so much flavor. It’s full of lemon zest and juicy blueberries that will burst in your mouth. No matter if you have it as a mid day snack, breakfast or with ice cream as dessert, this classic loaf cake recipe will live in your kitchen for years!
Lately I’ve been longing for making classic recipes. Just the thought of certain timeless recipes make me feel safe and at home, like classic chocolate cake or simple sweetened condensed milk cookies. There’s nothing more I’m enjoying now than to have a cup of tea in one hand and an old baking book on my lap, like the book worm…
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!
You may be wondering what’s the difference between an angel food cake and a regular cake. What makes them different is that angel cake has no fat in the batter, even fat coming from eggs because this cake has no egg yolks, so it’s a non-fat cake. It only uses…
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…
This easy pound cake recipe is just a dream!! It’s super soft and only requieres a handful of ingredients. The simplicity of butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk and flour shine in this recipe that I’m sure you’re going to cherish for a long time.

Nothing beats a good pound cake, don’t you think?! It’ll warm your heart when you need it the most. For me, having a slice with coffee its one of the best simple pleasures in life! That’s why I needed a…
Wait no more! This is the only pumpkin bread recipe you’ll need this fall season! It’s incredibly moist, with a soft and tender crumb, loaded with warm spices and lots of chocolate chips. It’s made with sour cream and oil, two ingredients that not only help in making this cake ultra soft, they also help in keeping it that way for days!!! Every bite will be warm and cozy, like a hug in a crisp fall morning!

This lemon pistachio cake is out of this world!! With a super soft and tender crumb, is a cake perfect for snacking and sharing around. I promise you can get a prettier swirl than mine, but you have to keep reading to understand why is that! The point is that this is another wonderful loaf cake recipe that you need to have on your repertoire for those moments you want a classic simple cake.
I have to admit I was pretty hesitant about sharing this cake. It has been sitting in my computer for a few weeks now. It was addictive and so good! But being my own director, cinematographer production assistant and talent while filming videos has its consequences, haha! For some reason I had to rush the process a bit while filming…
(Update: I updated the ingredients amounts to include weight equivalents.)
When I asked about two weeks ago through my Instagram stories what recipe should I make next, I was so happy you guys voted for a pumpkin Bundt. I really was in the mood for something warm and sweet and this is truly one of the softest pumpkin cakes I have ever made. It’s super soft, moist, full of warm spices such as cinnamon and ginger filled with sweet maple cream cheese and then soaked in tequila syrup. It’s really, really good! Especially that cream cheese bite.
Now, I’m not crazy about pumpkin. Besides the recipe for my Pumpkin Pie, there are no other recipes that call for it in the blog. What can I say?…
Even if we call it cornbread as in “pan de maíz”, this is a sweet corn loaf cake that is sweet, soft and tender. It’s made with a mix of flour and cornmeal and other basic baking ingredients that I’m sure are in your home right now. You’ll find this cake at any Puerto Rican bakery and it’s mostly eaten as breakfast or at mid afternoon during coffee break. I have so many memories around this humble cake, but even if you are trying it for the first time, it will warm your soul for sure!
Corn bread, along with “quesitos”, has to be one of the first baked sweets I fell in love with. From a very young age, I would visit a…
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…
If you are looking for an extra dark and super soft and tender dark chocolate loaf cake you can stop now. This cake recipe uses a whole 90% cocoa bar and Dutch process cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor. I added cardamom to give this cake a very subtle warm and spiced note and frosted with a simple chocolate whipped ganache. And more good news, this extra dark chocolate loaf cake is the easiest to make because you’ll only need two bowls, no mixer or special equipment necessary! No doubt about it, this is the best dark chocolate loaf cake ever!
I’m seriously addicted to this lemon raspberry loaf cake! Dense as a pound cake but still very soft and tender. This simple vanilla loaf cake is soaked in homemade a lemon simple syrup. But my friends, the lemon cream cheese frosting is what will get you obsessed! This has to be the creamiest cream cheese frosting, I bet to say the best cream cheese frosting in the world! It has the perfect balance between tangy and sweet. No doubt, this lemon raspberry loaf cake is the best thing to do with all the fresh raspberries you are finding right now!
This simple guava and cream cheese cake, or bizcocho de guayaba y queso, is a little trip to the Caribbean in every bite. Guava and cream cheese is a classic sweet pairing from Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands. I’ve tucked them into a soft, tender vanilla loaf cake that’s as easy as it is impressive. Leave the crusty, sweet top naked or drizzle a simple vanilla glaze for an extra touch of indulgence.
If there’s one sweet combination I loved growing up in Puerto Rico, it’s guava and cream cheese. For me, it’s just a match made in heaven. The tanginess of the cream cheese beautifully contrasts with the pure sweetness of guava paste. Mix the two into a cake, and you get creamy, sweet bites that feel like a treat with every forkful…
This lime coconut loaf cake is simple, lemony and with all the goodness of coconut milk and coconut oil. I really don't know if this will be better for breakfast, for a midday bite with tea or coffee or as a sweet treat to end the day.
If you are looking for a chocolate chip banana bread that is extremely moist, soft, and full of chocolate in every single bite, this is the one. I used a specific blend of cake flour and all-purpose flour for an ultra-fine, light crumb that never feels heavy, while sour cream provides that irresistible moisture that lasts for days. I added almost 2 cups of bittersweet chocolate chips to balance the sweetness of the bananas and brown sugar perfectly. And if you're thinking"Whoa, Dev, two cups of chocolate chips?", remember that in this website, more is always more when it comes to chocolate! Trust me, this banana bread is so easy to make, I know for sure you’ll have it on repeat!…
