New: Almond Croissant Cake 🤩


Hey friends❣️

Fresh up today ~ a cake that’s part croissant, part coffee cake, and completely irresistible.

Almond Croissant Cake

French almond croissant cake is a variation on two other cakes that I absolutely adore ~ my French Pistachio Cake and subsequent Mocha Hazelnut Cake. The unique recipe is authentically French, and contains no butter or oil. Instead whipped cream is folded into the batter for a texture that is rich and light at the same time. This easy recipe is reliable, rises beautifully, and slices like a dream.

We almond lovers (you know who you are!) are always looking for the next fresh almond experience, and my almond croissant cake marries a classic French pastry with a moist and fluffy coffee cake. This recipe would be gorgeous on a spring holiday table, or with afternoon tea or coffee any time of year.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

fig cake

Hey friends❣️ We’re in the home stretch, people. August has its own kind of energy ~ slower, softer, a little overgrown. The kitchen’s full of fruit flies, corn husks, and peaches begging to be baked. There’s good eating to be done, for sure. Your AUGUST kitchen playlist, in no particular order (It's really hard to pick favorites this month but I'll call out the zucchini bars, the zucchini layer cake, and those mouth watering masa harina biscuits. And let's just say I totally get how the...

no bake chocolate cheesecake

Hey friends❣️ Consider this your digital cool breeze. It’s been hot and rainy here, and the bad hair days are stacking up ~ but there’s still plenty to love about mid-summer! No Bake Double Chocolate Cheesecake Not sure what to lead with here. It’s no-bake, which makes it perfect for this steamy week ~ but really, it’s all about the chocolate. Rich, full-flavored, with just a hint of tang…it might even top the chocolate cheesecake that’s been living rent-free in your memory. (Mine? A...

Boursin butter on corn

Hey friends❣️ Back again with my newest culinary 'invention', and it's a goodie. Best of all it takes just 2 ingredients to whip this up. Simple but super impactful. Life is good! Boursin Butter I’m still reeling from my first taste of this Boursin butter on a hot ear of perfect summer corn. Rich, buttery, herby, and cheesy in the best way. If you're like me you're already imagining all the ways you going to use it. Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms ~ the best little appetizer ever. Salmon Mousse...
