Hummingbird Cake
The cake was initially used to promote tourism to the Caribbean. I love food that has a story, but what drew me to exploring the recipe was its likeness to my go-to carrot cake recipe. Also, who doesn’t love pineapples and bananas? It’s a delicious, moist cake that pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea! Plus, it's easy to make.
Homemade Crunchy Granola
Do you like peanuts? Have a taste for almonds? Addicted to cranberries? Throw them in! This, like many of my other recipes, is merely a guideline. When you are low on ingredients, the key element is the rolled oats. You should probably have those stocked somewhere anyway! They are a great source of fiber.
Super Moist Grapefruit Pound Cake
I thoroughly enjoy pound cake for tea time or in the morning with some coffee, it always hits the spot. Marble or lemon pound cake is often my default, the latter in the warmer months like springtime. However, that isn’t the only citrus fruit you can use to add a fresh tang to your loaf!
Lemon Glaze (for cakes, doughnuts, etc.)
Lemon. It took me a while to grow fond of the flavor outside of drinks, but it’s refreshing, tart, and pairs well with creamy textures, seafood, and on pastries, cakes, and doughnuts.
Amarula Custard
If you're looking to make a homemade custard with a kick and top your cakes and tarts, this is it. The marula fruit taste comes together wonderfully as a cream-based liquor sauce.
This recipe is meant to compliment the Malva Pudding Cake recipe.
