Warm Pudding Cake

cake · dessert · pudding · pudding cake · ramekins

This is a warm cake-in-a-ramekin, that’s ideal to serve after a lovely meal, and you want a dessert that carries forward the sentiment. While it looks super fancy, it is basically a cake, baked in a ramekin to give the feel of a soufflé – this goes best with whipped cream and maple syrup, served on a pretty plate + ramekin set.

You could also add in fresh fruit into the batter such as finely chopped berries, mangoes, or shredded apples or pears – both will work charmingly with the heady spice. I’ve also added shredded pumpkin into this once!

Make this once, and I assure, this becomes your go-to instant sit-down dinner dessert.

Butter Pecan Cake

This is my ode to family. A butter pecan cake reminds me of nostalgia, the times when large cakes were always on the counter, kids ate without worry at any time they wanted be it a whole fruit or a cracker with cheese. everything came from freshness and not from a package. the times when we kids played outdoors with everyone around and mothers had no idea that we had just gotten into a proper fist fight or scraped our knees from the bicycle. this butter pecan cake is just that. butter is slowly browned first to add a layer of flavour and then swirled into a buttermilk batter and lots of toasty chopped pecans. i add a drizzle of caramel into the batter bc my spirit needed more sweetness!

Ginger Marmalade cake (whole wheat flour)

This is a cake inspired by a children's story book which had multiple mentions of a sticky tea cake with notes of ginger and cinnamon and it instantly brought a vision in my head! So I made up this recipe which now has become a monthly bake especially for the kids - made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey, black tea, ginger, pumpkin spice, and lot's of orange zest and a sneaky slather of orange marmalade! optional is the dark chocolate chunks!
