Lemony Lemon Cake

by . 18 Comments

I think it’s important for everyone to have a great, reliable, and a killer cake recipe that they can pull out when the need arises. There are always get-togethers, potlucks, and pool parties when you just want to bake a homemade cake that is both pleasing to the eye and to the palate. This one is mine and dare I say, it could be yours too. Bursting with bright lemon flavor, this cake’s got a great softer crumb and tender moist texture. I added lemon juice and zest to the batter, which lightly infuse the cake with fresh lemon. Then, it is doused with a lemon syrup to further enhance the lemon flavor. Finally, the cake is decorated with lemon curd which adds an explosion of lemon flavor to every bite.

Panettone French Toast with Orange Yogurt Sauce

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and french toast has always been my quick and easy breakfast choice. Although, before coming to Canada I never had a french toast that was sweet, because my mom always made it savory and we had it with tomato and chilli sauce. I will share her recipe with you sometime next year. Today I have a sweet version to which I had slowly grown addicted. Panettone is a delicious sweet bread. I started making my own gluten free panettone from last year and I think it makes the best French toast that almost tastes like a dessert.

Paleo Blueberry Muffin Cake

I love to cook and enjoy the challenge of cooking for people – who by choice or by necessity have limited diets; food allergies and intolerances. Today’s recipe is specially created for Emma (who is a Google+ friend) and many others who suffer from Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME) and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). When Gill Andrews (also a google+ friend) shared a post, ‘Who has a recipe for Emma?’, I started racking my brain for something (especially dessert) that could be delicious for anyone and appropriate for Emma’s diet. I came up with quick and effortless recipe, you’re absolutely going to love. I used my blueberry buttermilk pound cake recipe as inspiration and switched things up to make it paleo friendly. I have made this cake two times now, and the whole family (plus several friends) love it.

So here we are in 2014! First, I am very excited to start off the new year with a recipe that I was busy trying in my kitchen. Second, inspired by a reader’s request I have added a new page on my blog to request a gluten free recipe. If you are craving a dish that you don’t know how to make it gluten free, I can help to cook up and post it for you.
