Because some nights only a molten chocolate cake will do, and you don’t want to spend an hour in the kitchen or bake 30 muffins at a time -> mug cake to the rescue! Also comes really handy when you have an impromptu visit from friends and want to whip up a good dessert or snack in no time. This recipe is done in 5′ tops and is super easy to make with ingredients you always have on hand. Here’s…
I know we’re supposed to be in the Spring mood right now, but with all the cold and grey weather we’ve been having lately we found ourselves craving comforting fall-inspired foods and flavors, such as a good old sweet potato bread. I played around a little bit with the traditionnel recipe to get to this version that is super moist and halfway between a cake and a pumpkin pie texture. It just melts in your mouth and keeps really well…
Last week my sister told me about a chocolate cake recipe in which you’d substitute the butter or oil with grated zucchini, and since then it’s been on my mind and I really wanted to give this ‘technique” a try.

I wanted to incorporate them into a soft and moist cake that would have a strong winter feel, so here it is! This cake features a pecan (or walnut) and Biscoff cookie crust, and a moist almond and pear filling and is the perfect winter treat. Arnaud loved it, even though he usually doesn’t like pears very much. This recipe…
Here’s an easy cake recipe that combine two of my favorite flavors everrrrr: banana and chocolate. Seriously, any combination of these two turns out delicious. Also, by adding banana to the batter, it means that you need tu use less sugar and butter than for most other cake recipes I’ve tried so that’s a nice plus. You can also easily make it into a dairy-free or gluten-free version if you’d like (see below) and it will be great for any…
