Technically an 18-birthday cake (yes, some boys like tea at 18, but let’s say, they are nerds) so a tea-cake for 18 birthday is exactly what makes them happy. And again a cake by bake-o-holic, I am not able to make something so sophisticated, no. Not only pretty but also very chocolaty inside, yummy!

First of all, unlike most of my posts, this is not a recipe to use on a weekday evening, when you want to put together something quick, while waiting for your guests to arrive. It’s not difficult, but a cake made with yeast needs time to rise. I often heard people saying that yeast cake

Have you ever had a wonderful panna cotta?  Well this one is even better. The buttermilk (despite being so healthy and good for you) makes the panna cotta lighter and I don’t know how to explain it … just better! And (as usually here), it’s so simple to make!

If you want to have something sweet and not feel (very) guilty for that, here’s something. And preparing it takes 5 minutes. Really. It actually takes more time to take out the blender than to do the whole cooking (well, at least in my case). Perfect for breakfast if you don’t have time to sit

If you don’t know there’s bacon, you will never guess, you may just wonder where the tiny spots of saltiness come from. It’s very easy

Fully of chocolate. Almost like pure chocolate but lighter in texture. Gluten free thanks to using ground almonds instead of flour. My daughter made these (almost) on her own for teachers day. Her teachers are lucky, that’s for sure! They turn out very moist so be sure to line the muffin tin with muffin papers,

I loved this recipe (and well, the cookies), because they merry the strawberries (which stay colorful and firm) with creamy cookies, and strawberries like cream 🙂 I must admit these are not my invention, I am not very creative in baking, and I know that in cookies and cakes you’d better follow the recipe than

‘Back to school’ or ‘la rentree’ as we call it here is a tough piece of cake (at least for me). Every day it turns out that the school supplies are wrong (the pencils should have been purple, not violet!, the lines in the notebooks are not the right one), or missing (why did you
