Grapefruit Bundt Cake
I love all types of citrus and this is especially true for grapefruits! They’re tart with a tinge of sweetness. That’s why, when I saw this recipe for a grapefruit bundt cake years ago, I had to try it. I tried it. I love it! Haha.
Corn Mochi Cake
I have a friend who loves corn and rice cake, so when I saw this recipe online one day, I knew it would be the perfect birthday treat for her! That’s why I made this and found it to be so tasty yet easy to make! You just throw everything in a blender to mix and then bake. It has the springiness of mochi and the sweetness of corn.
Salt Bread
소금빵 (sogeum-ppang) has been super popular in Korea. It’s a salt butter roll that is super simple but beautifully highlights the plain flavors of butter and salt. I had some on my trip to Korea last year and loved them! They’re based on 塩パン (shio-pan) from Japan and are so good fresh. That’s why I wanted to try making them on my own and I’m so glad I did! :D
Strawberry Matcha Pie
I love strawberry matcha lattes. Which led me to then think, wouldn’t it be great as a pie? So I decided to make a strawberry matcha pie! I made Four & Twenty Blackbirds’ matcha pie as a base and decided to top it with some delicious strawberry whipped cream. Since I paired it with strawberries, I added more matcha to contrast with the flavors better. A perfect recipe just in time for spring! :)
Pear Almond Tart
Pears and almonds are such a great combo. And they’re even more delicious when they’re placed inside a tart! I followed David Lebovitz’s recipe and I love the way that he makes his tart crust. It’s so quick and easy!
Triple Berry Cake
My grandma loved Sweet Lady Jane and their triple berry cake. And so did I! :D But ever since I heard that they suddenly closed down at the start of this year, I’ve been craving their signature cake even more! That’s why I decided to try making this cake from scratch on my own. I suck at making cakes and so I make so many mistakes whenever I make them. This recipe is just an attempt and my sharing of such an attempt! Haha. Hope you enjoy. :)
Persimmon Almond Galette
I made this persimmon almond galette for Thanksgiving last year that I just threw together and got a few requests for the recipe. So here it finally is! Haha. Have you ever had persimmons? They’re such a delicious fruit! The only problem is that just like figs, they are only available for a small portion of time during the year.
Raspberry Rugelach
I made these raspberry rugelach a few years ago and revisit this recipe by BA every so often. It’s one of my favorite cookie recipes! I love how they’re tart, sweet, and nutty. They have it all! The only thing though is that they take a bit of work to make. But once you have it all assembled, you just need to slice and bake! Hope you give these raspberry rugelach a try.
Matcha Neapolitan Cookies
I make a cookie box to give out to friends and family every Christmas and every year, I always find myself making this one! I usually make it classically with the chocolate flavor but this time, I replaced it with some delicious matcha to make one of my favorite combinations: strawberry matcha! I love this cookie. :)
S’mores Bar
Trader Joes released a new product a while ago: the S’mores Bar! I went to my local Trader Joes many times but could never find it in stock. So… I decided to make my own! Funny thing is… I don’t really enjoy s’mores though? They’re so sweet! But I love the process and atmosphere of making them around a campfire. They give me such homey and comfy feels. :3 So I really wanted to make these and I finally did! :D
