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. All it takes is one bowl, a handful of ingredients, a small amount of prep and just 30 minutes in the oven,…

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…
PANCAKE CAKE (with whipped coconut cream & banana)
As I sit here and type these words, I find myself feeling nostalgic about last Christmas already. Less than a month ago, on Christmas Day, my family and I enjoyed this very Pancake Cake as part of a lazy brunch that lasted literally half the day. 24 days into 2017 and aspects of my New Year’s…
VEGAN CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE POPS (with matcha white chocolate crumbles)
Firstly, I feel compelled to say that the making and assembly of cake pops from scratch is a labour of love. Consider the number of steps involved, from the baking of a cake, to the preparation of frosting, to the melting of chocolate (or, indeed, the making of chocolate!) and the decoration of each cake…
APPLE PARSNIP CAKE WITH MAPLE SYRUP & PECANS + WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (AKA Hello, my new favourite cake!)
My dear husband’s birthday was this week- and birthdays always mean cake in our house- so, yet again, I was given the perfect opportunity to try a new recipe. Allowing seasonal, organic produce to dictate the direction this cake would take, I searched and came across a fabulous looking recipe that I couldn’t look passed….
1, 2, 3 PINEAPPLE COCONUT CAKE
1 deciliter of sugar, 2 deciliters of flour and 3 decilitres of fruit, add a little coconut, some baking powder to help it rise just a little, mix… and voilà! It really is as easy as 1, 2, 3! A super yummy, super easy pudding-like cake that uses basic ingredients that you probably have on hand….
PEAR AND CARDAMOM CAKE (it's vegan, gluten-free & refined sugar-free)
On a not uncommonly wintery Swedish “summer’s” day, I thought I’d give some vegan baking a go. I have never baked with buckwheat flour or raw agave syrup before, but thought that whilst I am “veganising” my meals, I might as well “healthify” them too. As these ingredients (in the quantities I needed) are fairly inexpensive and the…
TORTA DELLA NONNA (AKA a slice of sunshine)
My second blog entry and recipe number one contains, among other ingredients, marzipan. It’s appropriate given my blog title, no? Surprisingly perhaps, I am not a huge marzipan fan, but it has really grown on me since I moved to Europe and I definitely appreciate its almond-y goodness in certain sweet treats. This is one…
