Chocolate Date Banana and Walnut Cake

After all the fruity cakes and desserts that I’ve made this summer, it felt it was time for a chocolate-based cake, using dark cocoa powder, along with chocolate chips.

As often happens, I found two ripe bananas in the kitchen, and decided to use them as a base for quick muffins.

Happy belated 4th of July to all!

The following cake is yet another version of my “Yogurt Squares” (click HERE for the recipe), for which I’ve also posted quite a few versions in THIS post.

The following tasty dish is quick and easy to make, and will fill your kitchen with amazing earthy fragrances.

The Sephardic cuisine offers quite a few versions for Burekitas, small hand pastries, with various types of dough and fillings (check THIS post for more information about them).

Hazelnut, Cherry and Sour Cream Mini-Cakes

Few ingredients in a cake don’t mean lack of flavor – and these tasty little cakes are the proof of that. They are also very quick and easy to prepare – all that’s needed are a bowl and a whisk.

Yogurt, Dried Apricots and Pistachios Squares

Cheese cakes are my favorite cakes, but, at the same time, I find them quite heavy and too sweet, not to mention it takes quite a bit of time to prepare and bake them properly.
So, I went on a mission to create a quick, lighter and less sweet version of cheese cake. I tried low-fat cream cheeses, but didn’t like the taste or texture. Instead, I’ve decided to try to bake a cake using thick yogurt, and just loved the results.
