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.
I recently had to make a birthday cake and wanted to try out something different. So I went back to my roots and thought of the Three Leches Cake: a spongecake soaked in a mixture of evaporated and condensed milk with whipping cream. This dessert is served often back in Mexico, but I decided to elevate it with an Italian meringue and poached pears to add a seasonal flavour.
