Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Coffee cakes are one of the staples in cafes and bakeries. A warm piece of coffee cake with a dark roasted cup of coffee or even a cold glass of milk…I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. There are many, many variations of coffee cakes from a simple sugar crumb cake to fruit coffee cakes and even eggnong coffee cake. Today I’m taking a traditional sugar-cinnamon base, mixing it sour cream and adding some chocolate chips for something special. The result is an moist sour cream coffee cake with the perfect chocolate chip crumble that adds the perfect crisp texture. Sour cream coffee cake? Sign me up for a piece or two!

Spiced Apple Bouquet Cake

I know what you're thinking (because I thought it so often before now): that bouquet cake looks HARD. I finally bit the bullet and tried it out though- and it was SO much easier than I expected! As always, my recipes are focused on flavor and ease!This cake has all the perfect spices (ginger & cinnamon is such an under-appreciated combination, who’s with me?). It has chopped almonds hidden inside that add texture & a beautiful bouquet of apple roses showcased on top. It’s a recipe that’s sure to impress!The key to making this cake a success is making extremely thin apple slices. Keep in mind that they have to be able to bend and wrap them once they’re warmed up! And creating the roses was surprisingly fun. (It gave me an excuse to watch a television show as I created the gorgeous little buds of apple roses.) The batter is also the perfect consistency so that the apple roses are able to stick in the batter and not unravel as you continue adding more. So don’t be intimated by how complex these roses look- it’s truly fun and simple! You start with the thinnest slice you can, roll it up, and then just wrap another slice around it. Continue doing this until the bud is as big as you want! I kept accidentally varying the sizes of the roses, and I loved how it turned out! So go forth and impress the world with your super impressive apple roses!

Black Sesame Banana Cake

By now you probably already have your favorite banana bread recipe bookmarked and memorized. You most likely won’t need another banana recipe but let’s be real, what’s one more? Instead of making classic banana bread, I did what I always do and added a little twist. Add a little Asian influence and voila! You have a black sesame banana cake. It’s different but this dessert is just as delicious as the classic version. Not mention, it's still just as easy with just one extra step, making the black sesame paste. Nowadays, you can even buy the paste and skip this step altogether!

Strawberry Matcha Cupcake

These cupcakes feature a light and fluffy matcha sponge, filled with a home-made strawberry jam and topped with a strawberry buttercream. I love the combination of the slightly bitter matcha flavour, and the more tangy strawberry. I like to make a Swiss meringue buttercream to achieve a light and not-so-sweet taste.You can make these cupcakes with a stand mixer, electric hand-mixer or a whisk and good-old arm power. They can be kept for 1-2 days at room temperature, or slightly longer in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before enjoying! This is an ideal light dessert, or pair it with your morning/afternoon tea for a treat.Check out https://www.instagram.com/vivbakez/ for more baking adventures!
