Banana nut muffins and cakes


It's nuts around here!  No, I mean, nuts are literally falling off trees around us. So what else can you do but add them to baked breads and cakes. Who's with me?

This is a very easy cake to bake that is always nice to have for breakfast or for coffee/tea time. Your choice of making either a loaf, muffins or round cake.

Here’s what you need:

3 ripe bananas 
100 g butter
120 g sugar
3 eggs
180 g wheat flour or gluten-free flour 
80 g almond powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon  
3/4 cup of walnuts

For topping :
3/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons of by melted butter
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Cream cheese :
100 g cream cheese
3 heaping tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 170 C / 325 F. In a bowl, blend bananas with a fork until you get a smooth paste.  In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar, then add eggs. Add all other ingredients.  In a buttered pan, pour batter.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Mix ingredients for nut topping and add on cake once the middle has risen, and bake for another 3-5 minutes or until the nuts are toasty.  Allow to cool. For the cream cheese topping, cream the 3 ingredients in a bowl.  Top portions with cream cheese depending on everyone's taste.  

Bon appétit !

Cotton sponge cake with strawberries and cream cheese frosting

My kids had a birthday to celebrate so I made the cakes and they decorated. I used to do this when my children were small, set up a table for them to decorate cookies or gingerbread houses, even had parties like this, and to this day, they like assembling treats and are good cooks. Here's the batter recipe I often use which you can find in my other recipes (mocha sponge, apple cider cake...) : Cotton sponge cake recipe : 4 eggs, separated 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar 1-1/4 cup (180 g) cake flour 3/4 cup (150 g) confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup cider (60 g) (French kind, or 4.5% alcohol) or beer or carbonated water 1/4 cup (60 g) sour cream (or thick cream) 1/4 cup (60 g) milk (as needed) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 180° F / 350° C.  Line pan with parchment paper.  I used a 7" spring-form pan and a small fluted brioche mold. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.  Add granulated sugar a little at a time and continue

Hello, everyone! Now that it's the season... Had quite a bit of fun making this yule log.  I was dreaming of a red and white Santa-inspired cake with raspberries.

Pink Black Forest cake

Hi guys ! A bit late but I did say I would post this recipe, which was a fun cake to put together for a birthday.  I layered pink velvet and fudge brownie cakes with vanilla cream and candied cherries to make this Pink Black Forest cake for October Rose (breast cancer awareness month). Believe it or not, I didn't have fresh cherries, since it was late in the season, but here is reason to believe you can use frozen or preserved cherries and it works out well too. To be honest, I did make this cake over the space of 2 days. First I preserved the cherries, then made one cake layer and refrigerated everything.  The next day I made another cake layer, as well as the cream and assembled it.  Start with preparing the cherries. In a medium saucepan, over low heat, add 400-500 g of frozen or preserved (unsweetened in water) whole pitted cherries and 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of kirsch. Once simmering, add 1-1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch until dissolved and simmer ab
