Sweet potato bread with cinnamon swirl

Sweet potato bread with cinnamon swirl

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.

Pears are definitely amongst my favorite fruits of the season, and I have been eating a bunch of them lately.

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…

Banana chocolate loaf cake

Banana chocolate loaf cake

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…
