Bourbon Date Cake

When I went to Marrakech, I was converted to dates.  I had never completely signed on as a fan, but when you try things at the source, you typically get what the hype is about.  The hype reached another level when I had dinner on the rooftop of Nomad, overlooking the spice souk and watching … Continue reading Bourbon Date Cake

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

I wanted to expand my rhubarb horizons this year.  I'm not going to say that I exhausted my rhubarb pie repertoire (it is something I will never tire of), but you guys know I like a challenge and maybe even some weird stuff (this is not weird and is not as challenging as it looks).

For me, I've become obsessed with cake decorating videos.  It's so satisfying watching the icing smoothed and glaze drip down the side.  Some people are … Continue reading Yellow Cake with Fudge Icing

Skillet Olive Oil Apple Cake

With American Thanksgiving approaching, I've still got apples on my mind.  Whenever I make apple cake, I always use olive oil in place of butter.  It adds a lovely depth of flavour and moisture while still keeping a light texture. This skillet cake is no different, and the apples on top create even more moisture, … Continue reading Skillet Olive Oil Apple Cake
