This dessert made with medium-ground cornmeal is a great option if you’re looking for a cake soaked in a fragrant syrup. Each bite is packed with orange flower flavour, which makes it a great accompaniment to tea or for an afternoon snack. Best of all, it’s an easy dessert to make, and it's a great gluten-free dessert option.
Citrus bars are a delicious, creamy medley of lemon, lime and orange flavours. If you like to have a citrus tang that is mellowed by the taste of crushed crackers, brown sugar and toasted coconut, you've found a great recipe here.
Red velvet cake is moist, bright, and often times a great crowd pleaser as you cut into the white cream cheese frosting and reveal its scarlet interior promising great flavour and a hint of cocoa. On this occasion I made a naked cake, one that only has a hint of frosting on the sides, giving us a hint of what awaits inside.
It's been a while since I made a yeast bread, and wanting to make a very French dessert for friends coming over, I thought the savarin would make the cut. The delicate taste of the brioche is infused with a kirsch syrup. Raspberries add a bit of tang, and the whipped cream mellows out all the flavours in each bite. I would say this is a perfect dessert to bring for a brunch because it is bright and boozy, but as with most desserts, I will tend to eat it whenever it's offered.
When you want a quick and easy recipe that you'll enjoy within the hour, try these drop biscuits. You can make them in a cinch and enjoy by themselves, with butter and jam, cream cheese, or to accompany a dish with gravy or a thick sauce. You can also slice them in half and use as a base for a fried egg. I'll be sure to make some soon again.
