This upside-down apple caramel custard cake recipe has been sitting on my phone for quite a while. And when I say “recipe,” I don’t mean a neatly organized document with ingredients, measurements and step-by-step instructions. I mean a few old photos and a WhatsApp conversation in which I was talking a friend […]
Since I had my waffle maker right there, it was only a matter of time before I got around to my favorite fall combination: apples and cinnamon. 😋 This recipe actually came about while I was testing all sorts of waffle variations and trying to figure out what else I could add […]
I was going through the apple recipes on the blog and realized there was one recipe missing — one that I actually make quite often: this apple cake baked in a loaf pan and topped with salted caramel sauce. I’ve made this recipe many times, and it has turned out beautifully […]
A few apples had been sitting in a bowl for a while, along with some egg whites left over from my cinnamon rolls. And that’s how today’s little experiment, called apple meringue cake, came to life. 😁 I initially wanted to make something a little healthier and lower in calories. But ever […]
Last weekend, I finally bought myself a madeleine pan. I’d wanted one for ages and was already picturing myself enjoying freshly baked madeleines with my afternoon coffee. By the time they were actually ready, though, it was more prosecco o’clock than coffee o’clock. 😁 So I adjusted accordingly. Since these were […]

When I think of apple pie, I remember the one my grandmother used to make, with a generous layer of powdered sugar on top. And when I say generous, I mean a good two-finger-thick layer of powdered sugar. 😁 Every time I asked her not to add sugar on top, […]
Ricotta has been making its way into more and more of my recipes lately. I think it has become one of my favorite ingredients. I love it because it is light, slightly sweet, creamy and so versatile. It works just as well in desserts as it does in savory dishes. […]
Strawberries are *le husband’s favorite fruit, and for almost two months now, they’ve been standing in for dinner. The good part is that dinner takes me no more than 10 minutes to put together, but the downside is that I never get around to cooking anything fancy. 😊 Today I woke up […]
If it’s Sunday, it’s treat day. 😁 And what better way to start the day than with dessert for breakfast? 😊 I might regret that decision at the gym tomorrow, but sometimes breaking the rules just feels good. 😁 Today’s treat is an easy apple upside-down cake with caramelized apples and a […]
