Delicious, moist and healthy cake with the goodness of carrots and dates.

Long-time family favorite. People rave about it, and in several instances, people were surprised that it had dates in it because they claim they don't like date cake, but loved this cake. The feature taste is more so the crispy brown sugar, chocolatey nut topping. The flavor of the dates is secondary but gives it that unique flavor – sending this cake to over-the-top deliciousness!

Here’s the recipe for eggless vanilla cake which I absolutely love. You can bake vanilla cake in a oven or in a pressure cooker.

This recipe was quite popular on Reddit a couple of years ago. I’ve wanted to try it for a while, and since my daughter specifically wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for her birthday, it was a perfect opportunity!The instructions on Reddit were minimal, so I approached it as I would any other standard cake. This cake baked beautifully and was wonderfully moist and chocolatey. It’s not overly sweet and also has a medium-light texture, not dense or heavy.Please note that I multiplied the original recipe by a factor of 1.5 to obtain the amounts listed here since I was baking a three tier cake.#Dessert #KeepRecipesAlive #Party #Birthday #Potluck

Hello everyone, yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day for me, from food shopping for different recipes, walking Charlie, catching up with some friends on Skype that I have not spoken to in a while, and working on different projects which are all just very exciting. 🙂 Easter is coming up very quickly, well for us our Easter (Greek Easter) is on April 8th, so we have a couple of more weeks. I am hoping to make the traditional Greek Cookies that we have during Easter time. (My arm has been acting up on me again with all the weather changes and it has been strapped up with a band)Come to think of it the Easter Cookie recipe is how I actually met my blogging buddy, and dear friend Dee dee from Invisible-no-more. I had just started blogging and I was searching for blogs that expressed what I was interested in and I came across Dee dee’s. Some of Dee dee’s post were so funny and some so touching, that I commented on one of them and she replied. 🙂 Dee dee asked me if I had a recipe for the Greek Easter Cookies…I sent the recipe and she made them last year & posted them on her blog, the cookies looked so good!!Dee dee has a special place in my heart. 🙂I wasn’t going to do any cooking today, I had some leftover Pastichio that I had made so I was just going to bake a cake. 🙂 The cake started out as a basic Vanilla Cake but I ended up adding Cinnamon and Walnuts, don’t ask why I just felt like I should add something more than just Vanilla. :)

I am so happy to see the result of this banana cake, it tasted slightly like the one that I usually buy from the bakery shop out there. I took the recipe from tiphero, but I'm using the original recipe which posted by Happy Hooligans instead. It turned out perfectly good after 1 hour chilled inside the fridge.And... since I'm using smaller oven and it tends to be too hot sometimes, I baked my cake at 105°C approximately 35 to 40 minutes using 20x10 (cm) pan.

I haven’t eaten carrot cake in so long, usually I can only have one bite of normal cake without problems, I was craving a carrot cake so I adapted a recipe I found on the 101 Cooking for Two blog.This recipe is #lowfat with about 12.1 grams of fat per serving. If you leave out the walnuts it reduces to 7.1 grams of fat per serving. #vegan options.The original recipe calls for coconut flakes but I don’t like coconut so I left them out. It also calls for eggs but I used flax seed instead. Next time I might try 1/4 or 1/3 of an egg white.The original recipe also calls for crushed pineapple instead of applesauce so you could experiment with that.

Everyone, who has visited Greece, or has friends who are Greek has tried either Baklava, or Galaktoboureko, or even both since these Greek Pastries are well known. There is also one more yummyyyy and mouthwatering tasty cake, we like to call Karydopita, otherwise known as Walnut Cake. Whole pieces of Walnuts with Cognac in a nice piece of moist cake….does it get any better than that? Well, maybe with the exception of Chocolate …..:)

Spiced carrot cake with toasted walnuts. Simply whisk everything together in a bowl and bake away! 😊

I've made pound cakes with different fillings, but this one, made with what I had in the kitchen, was superb!Let the middle sink when you are pouring the batter into the tin. When it has been in the oven for 10 minutes, make a vertical slit down the middle. That's about it really. Recipe by Uminohoshi purin

I tried this cake at the Boulangerie Le Pain dans les Voiles in Montréal and liked its combination of dates and coconut. Apparently it was named after the Queen of Canada, Elizabeth II, and probably created in 1953 to celebrate her coronation. Or was it invented in 1937 for the coronation of King George VI and named after his wife, Queen Elizabeth? Regardless of its origin, the cake is delicious.

My sister bought me the book The Boozy Baker for Xmas and I had to share this recipe!!!!I like to add chocolate chips too!
