Peach and mango crumble cake (gluten-free option)

Whenever I travel to Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic..., I see this type of cake in bakery windows, looking so delicious and just the perfect easy-to-eat treat while going about wandering. You can find different versions, for example, Polish Szarlotkas, or apple crumble cakes; or German apfelkuchens with apples, or blueberry streusel cakes; not to forget Viennese bakeress, or raspberry streusel cakes. 

I had some sweet vine peaches and ripe mangos so I tried this as a topping, and it was an absolute delight! I also had some blanched hazelnuts so I ground them and made a semi-fine powder for a slightly nutty taste to the dough. Here’s the recipe :


Batter :
100 g softened butter
120 g sugar
2 eggs
10 cl whipping cream or yogurt
120 g flour (or gluten-free flour)
30 g almond flour or hazelnut powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt

2 cups diced peaches and mangoes (or fruit of preference : blueberries, raspberries, apples, pears..)

Crumble topping: 
25 g butter
25 g sugar
30 g flour and almond flour (half and half)
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350 ° F / 180° C.  Line an 11-inch (28 cm) pie pan or round cake pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar, then add eggs and yogurt.  Add all other ingredients, mixing well.  In a separate bowl, mix the crumble ingredients with a fork, the texture should be fairly powdery and crumbly. Ahem. 

Pour the cake batter into pan and bake for 12 minutes or until the batter has risen slightly, then add the fruit and crumble evenly over the top.  Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the middle has risen (test with a toothpick which should come out clean). If the top needs to brown a bit, put on broil setting for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't burn (I kinda know this from uh... burning some). Allow to cool before removing from pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy, everyone !

Victoria Sponge cake revisited (gluten-free)

Here's a version of a Victoria sponge cake that kind of evolved on its own. This is a fairly straightforward layer cake. It involves 2 cake disks, buttercream and strawberry jam, decorated thereafter with some powdered sugar, or more cream and strawberries. I did, however, take liberties... Well, first of all, I didn't have any jam but I did have strawberries so made a quick jam by simmering about a dozen diced strawberries, a couple tablespoons of sugar and a star anise which I love adding lately to all jams (try it with fig jam, awesome combination).  But I digress... use some jam if you have some at home!  I also swirled one of the disks with raspberry reduction, mixed with a bit of the batter to add some color.  (Also, no need to do this except for a bit of fun or if you're always experimenting like me). Here's the rest of the recipe made with 2 eggs, a sign of the times : Batter: 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup of milk or juice...

Checkerboard cake

This was actually another accidental cake!  I had been wanting to make one of these checkerboard cakes for a while, and one day, I realized I had all the ingredients ready to go in my freezer, so in essence it went pretty quickly.  I often make cake disks and use them for cakes I'm making, and freeze extra disks for later use. So I had 2 chocolate cake disks and 2 vanilla cake disks in the freezer.  All that was needed was the cream and that went pretty easily since I also had some chocolate mousse frosting I had made previously. This was my first attempt, and although it was far from perfect (leaning to one side, lol), it turned out much better and easier than I expected. For tips, I would say 1) have some good cake cutters (I used glass cups and it's not ideal) 2) spread the frosting fairly thinly in between the layers in order to see the checkboard pattern 3) if you freeze cake disks or frosting ahead of time, it is a time saver, in a delulu kind of way 4) the wow fact...

Clafoutis with cherries

Clafoutis is one of my favorite French words because it can make me feel like I’m cursing or insulting someone, "You club-foot-id i o t. » Ok, only me ?! Never mind... It’s also the most delicious flan, so that’s double the fun, and the best part is it's quite easy to make. I often make different kinds depending on the fruits of the season and here you have pictures of an all cherry version, because our tree was so abundant with cherries just ready to harvest. Here's the recipe : 3 eggs 1/2 cup sugar (100 g) 3/4 cup flour (110 g) 1 cup milk (250 ml) 1 teaspoon vanilla or half teaspoon vanilla bean 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 pound of cherries (300 g) Preheat oven to 350° F / 180° C.  Butter a deep dish, pan or ramekin. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until you get a smooth batter. Add milk, flour, vanilla, salt, melted butter. Place the cherries (remove stems, but no need to remove pits) in the pan or ramekin. Pour the batter over the cherries. Bak...
