LUSCIOUS VEGAN CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE with plant-based cream cheese frosting
The most luscious, moist vegan chocolate layer cake made for my daughter’s almost-Valentine’s Day birthday (back in 2019). And then again for my baby boy’s birthday three weeks later. And again for my big boy’s birthday a week after that. Yes, you get the picture. My children’s birthdays are very close. And we are a little obsessed with…
VEGAN PLUM AND CHERRY CAKE – inspired by Swedish cheesecake
This cake-meets-pudding is a deliciously fruity, subtly sweet take on a Swedish classic known as ostkaka (literally ‘cheesecake’). Baked cheesecake is definitely known to be a comforting treat, but it does not have to be heavy or incredibly rich. And Swedish style cheesecakes are not ordinarily baked with fruit, nor is the classic version of…
HERB & FLOWER VEGAN CHEESE BALLS – pretty summer snacks with fresh herbs & edible flowers
Midsummer approaches, it is raining in Stockholm (as is common/expected at this time of year) and my thoughts are divided amongst many things; the state of the world, my family, the notion that we should probably celebrate midsummer in some small way, even though it doesn’t quite seem the time to be celebrating.

By popular request, I am sharing this luscious, super-easy, light-enough-for-breakfast cake recipe (in both Swedish and English) here, as it appeared on my Instagram stories the other day for a 24-hour period only.

EASTER EGG DOUGHNUT NESTS- easy vegan, gluten-free decorated chocolate cake doughnuts
Before this Easter weekend officially draws to a close, I want to share the recipe for our homemade Easter treat this year. For the record, we ate several treats that were not homemade and definitely not what you could consider “wholesome”, but these particular doughnuts (or donuts, if you prefer) can absolutely be made as…
GRAIN-FREE, NATURALLY SWEET VEGAN CHOCOLATE PANCAKES (a one-bowl, easy gluten-free recipe)
As cafés and restaurants are off-limits for so many right now, those of us who love a good weekend brunch out surely miss having the option to enjoy one. Thankfully we can still enjoy a long breakfast or lazy brunch at home. And, in the case of this recipe, all it takes is one bowl,…
