Maple & Carrot Semolina Cake

September 13, 2015 by Ariel 1 Comment

Just tasted this beauty I made yesterday.

Usually, it’s not my style to let some freshly baked goods wait on the counter before being honoured by our palates but, by the time it had come to the right temperature, it was getting way too late for me to indulge in such decadence. As a first “fall baking” project, I’m very pleased with the results and I’m sure you’ll be pleased to. The final texture is extremely silky soft and dense, very close to a pound cake but with a nice variation because of the semolina flour.

Cut yourself a slice, toast it the traditional way or put in the oven for a few minutes before devouring it with melted butter or cream cheese spread on top.. It’s worth it.

Bon Appétit!

Ricotta Orange, Cardamom Pound Cake

March 25, 2014 by Ariel 2 Comments

Ohhh pound cakes… It’s so easy to do and so comforting. Before this one, I had never made pound cake myself but I always bought slices at the cute little coffee shop down the street. Some people call it pound cake, other bread. As far as I’m concern, I could easily put it in the same family as the banana and walnut bread or even the Anastasia bread I made last year.

Although the only difference is that this batter create a much softer cake/bread compare to the two other ones. It has the feeling of a little pillow in your mouth, thanks to the ricotta and the added egg white.

I hope you’ll also enjoy this orange and cardamom mix. It’s a new obsession of mine (I seem to develop obsessions pretty easily). I recently made a tapioca pudding flavored with orange blossom flower and cardamom and it was out of this world! Definitely a match of flavor to remember for future recipes.

On this, enjoy this soft and silky ricotta, orange & cardamom pound cake with a nice cup of tea as a fun afternoon snack or as a desert topped with ice cream!

Have a great Tuesday everyone 🙂

PS: You can even toast it and add butter on it.. it’s divine! 😉
