Chocolate and lime vegan cake

This is one of the most comforting cakes ever. It’s easy to make and delicious and I have already baked it several times because everyone seems to love it. I find it particularly suited to the holiday season (some of the more Christmassy pictures are from last Christmas in fact) so why not give this […]

Vegan autumn hazelnut cake

Nothing is more autumnal than nuts and chocolate to me, and red leaves (finally a season with colours matching my hair!). I really love autumn, maybe also because it’s my birthday season and I am still a child at heart. I designed this cake because I wanted something a bit complex to deal with but […]

I made these triple chocolate mini cakes with a brownie base and two mousse layers on top. They were so good!! […]

This is the vegan version of an Italian local delicacy from Piedmont. I tried this when I was doing my master in Torino and after that I made it several times. It goes really well with Amaretti cookies but this time I just oomphed the caramel sauce and sprinkled with ground almonds infused with Amaretto […]

“Oreo” entremet (vegan)

Hello 🙂 I made these entremets for the birthday of a friend who is not the dessert type but loves Oreo milkshake, so I thought I could make an Oreo inspired entremet! I didn’t use many Oreo cookies because I was more interested in reproducing the separate tastes separately, but I made an Oreo based […]

All things croissants (vegan)

Hello and happy Monday.  Over the last couple of months I have baked croissants quite a few times. I tried the first time because I could never have one, as I have strong dairy allergy whereby 1) I would feel awfully sick, 2) only the smell of cheese and butter makes me quite sick. So […]

Black sesame chocolate cake (vegan)

I have made countless variations of this chocolate sponge cake, so last weekend I decided to change it a bit by using some toasted black sesame in the dough. I did not expect the result, meaning that it was super addictive and quite “light”, as the cake is truly not sugary at all and its […]

Black Forest Entremet (vegan)

Psychedelic Halloween Project 🙂 I love Halloween and I love entremets, so I wanted to make something special to have fun at home, since we really do not have a choice about where the entertainment should take place at the moment.  I do not usually use food colouring and if I do I use beetroot […]
