This was a fun little Saturday experiment.
An easy and delicious peach & olive oil skillet cake that gives an interesting rustic feels, like something your grand mother would have made and put on the table. I’ve debated serving it inside the skillet itself but it looks so much better reversed in the plate. The cake batter comes out very light as airy while the subtle yet noticeable aroma of the olive oil is a wonderful pairing with the peaches and the brown sugar.
Hope you get to try this.

This recipe got a decent amount of attention on Twitch because not only it’s super delicious… it’s also super easy to make.
Pudding chômeur (direct translation – poor man’s pudding) is a French Canadian classic dessert our grand mothers used to make in the Spring when the maple trees are dripping down their delicious sap to make maple syrup. You can absolutely substitute the maple syrup for a more basic sugary syrup, if you don’t have any but, I don’t think you can call it “pudding chômeur” if you do that. Neitherless to say, it will come out delicious for sure and I really hope you get to try this.
Are you a sugar bug? …because if you are, this recipe is for you!
Got hyperactive kids at home? …this might be the last thing you should be feeding them XD

It took me a little time to tweak this one even if it’s a very simple recipe. Most of everything found out there (I thought) uses way too many egg whites and since I live alone, the last thing I wanted was to end up having to eat a huge cake on my own. Not that I wouldn’t be able to eat it in full but, this where I have to draw the line at being a solitary foodie.
So this recipe only uses 6 egg whites and make a much smaller cake which is perfect if you live alone and/or you just don’t like to share your food (like Joey from Friends). The most important aspect of this preparation is to make sure you start with stiff peaks when whisking your egg whites AND that you take your time to fold the flour/powdered sugar mix in to the egg whites. After this, you’re pretty much set and you’ll soon have a deliciously fluffy sponge cake to devour.
Growing up, this cake has always been my all time favourite and if I had known how easy it was to make it, I would have stopped buying the pre-made ones at the grocery full of bad ingredients. Everything is always better when it’s homemade so don’t get too intimidated by the procedure, it’s really not that complexed.
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!

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! 😉
