Chocolate and Rhubarb Tartlets
Aren't we really lucky that we have rhubarb all year round in Australia? It is one of my favourite things to add to desserts. Not only does it complement both dark and white chocolate equally well, like in these rhubarb tartlets, it adds a punch to any cake or crumble. Rhubarb compote is the best thing you can have in your fridge. Use it as a topping on yoghurt or porridge or as a filling in a tart. It's so versatile. These chocolate and rhubarb tartlets are heavenly to taste. I love making tart shells in this way as they are crunchier and look impressive. The shells can be stored in the freezer before baking and taken out just when you need a sweet treat.

Mini Blueberry Cakes
Summer has come to an end in our part of the world. The last couple of weeks have brought us so much rain that it was hard to notice the change of seasons. Muddy backyard, gloomy days and no sun. I thought I would make something pretty to uplift everyone's spirits. These are so easy. The cakes are made in a single bowl. For the outer design, any kind of silicone mold will work.

Eggless Strawberry Cake with Rosewater
Valentine's day is around the corner so I got myself a heart shaped pan, something I have had in mind for years. I had a few recipes in mind that I wanted to give a go, with and without chocolate. This eggless strawberry cake with rosewater is super easy to make. The texture and taste are divine. The cherrry on the cake though is that it requires no eggs or involves no softening of butter. One can add any berry, nut or flavouring and it always turns out superb. This is my base recipe to a lot of cakes. For the frosting, you could go with simple vanilla or use rose again. Or you could use cardamom which is absolutely magical too. The cream cheese frosting is what makes the cake so irresistible.
