Raspberry and Chamomile Cake
If you thought tea was just an aromatic beverage that made your mornings and afternoons and sometimes nights better, you have to try them in baked goods. I'm not just referring to Chai and Earl Grey or the populat matcha tea. I'm talking about the delicate, floral flavour of chamomile tea. Who knew a couple of tea bags steeped in milk could pack so much flavour into this Chamomile Cake. If like me, you're a little tired of the same old flavours in cake and have made enough Biscoff and cookie dough treats, it's time to try out this new sweet tea infused number that will blow you away with it's elegant simplicity. The raspberries lend a gogeous colour as well as a taste punch in every mouthful. The ground almonds provide a delicious nutty texture while the sour cream icing ties them all together. This Raspberry and Chamomile Cake comes together very quickly, yet with an impressive outcome.

Pear and Raspberry Cake
The lead up to Spring is one of my favourite times in the year. The cherry blosoms start blooming, pears are in abundance while berries became slightly more affordable. This pear and raspberry cake is a delicious combination of what August has to offer. Bosc pears are perfect with their slender necks and soft. juicy interiors. The sweetness goes well with tart raspberries. The pear and raspberry cake is such a great accompaniment to tea or coffee, like a great tea cake should be like. Not overly sweet and with a tender crumb. Now that spring is almost here, I'm thinking of blood oranges, lemon, rhubarb, blueberries and so many fruits to bake with. What kind of cakes or desserts do you want me see here? Any fruit that you'd like me to bake with? Let me know!

Easy Pistachio Cake
This Easy Pistachio Cake is the most amazing thing I baked recently. With a hint of rosewater and a beautiful crumb, owing to the addition of nutty pistachios and almonds, this cake is a keeper. What makes it even more special is that there is no flour or butter in the cake. Just a handful of ingredients and a simple process to put together a treat as lovely as this one. I have used a mix of pistachio and almond meal as I didn't have enough pistachios at home. But you are free to be as creative as you like. You could make it with just the pistachios or sub any nut of your choice. Initially I wanted to decorate the cake with a ricotta frosting. Upon baking I felt that this Easy Pistachio cake was pure joy and needed nothing else. A dusting of icing sugar and some fresh raspberries to serve, that's it!

Red Velvet Cookies
Who doesn't love Red Velvet Cookies? There are two occasions when i bake them every year. During Chrismas and during Mother's day. There is something so elegant about the colour and the taste of a red velvet dessert. It has an underlying taste of chocolate but not very chocolate-y. Because these were meant for Mother's day I baked them in my favourite molds for the beautiful heart shape. Link here. The centres have been filled with a delicious cream cheese icing that is quick to make. I hope you enjoy a beautiful Mother's day with your family. If your Mum is far away like mine, make sure you tell her how much you miss her and definitely bake something for her when you see her, What I would do to share my treats with my Mum right now!
