Continue ReadingEasy Eid maamoul cake. If you’re like me, craving the smell and the flavor of homemade maamoul- make this cake instead. It’s sweet, buttery and nutty. Smells and tastes similarly to the flavors we love about maamoul. It’s made with almond flour so it’s naturally gluten free. You can serve it as squares or as slices. May this Eid bring blessings to you and your loved ones. Ingredients from @spinneysuae

Continue ReadingDuring the festive season, I love impressive desserts that are actually easy to make such as this flourless chocolate cake with almond and pears. It looks so decadent and so elegant although it is super easy to prepare. Firstly, just make sure to use Bartlett pears as they bake beautifully into a soft and jammy topping but retain their shape when baked. Secondly, add the meringue in thirds: 1/3 mixed in vigorously to loosen the batter and the remaining 1/3 then 1/3 gently folded in to retain lightness. Do not over mix to avoid deflating. I love using USA pears…

Continue ReadingOlive oil and laban pistachio cake. A super moist and easy cake that is bursting with freshness. The olive oil and laban (yogurt) create magic with a super tender crumb. The tanginess and crispness of the lemon drizzle works perfectly well with the nutty and moist cake. I loved coming up with this recipe as the ingredients are super simple and the outcome is perfect. Decorate it or leave it rustic- you’ll love it anyway.
