guava cream cheese almond cookies
Greetings! I decided to see what happens if I were to treat guava paste like almond paste, and substitute it in a recipe that calls for almond paste. I used this recipe from King Arthur flour as a guide. They turned out great! They were sweet and chewy and only slightly pink, not bright pink…

clementine almond cake
“Oh my darling, oh my darlingOh my darling, ClementineYou were lost and gone foreverDreadful sorrow, Clementine.” The benefit of using clementines instead of oranges is that they seem to have less membrane or pithy parts and are fairly juicy and full of orange flavor. Also they are easier to peel. Make sure you zest them…

colomba di pasqua
Happy Easter! I wanted to create something festive and in keeping with the season. Although this usually contains dried fruit like golden raisins or candied peel and is often baked in a paper liner that’s shaped like a dove, I didn’t have any of those things. I did have some Marcona almonds, which I strongly…

extreme almond scones
This recipe was simply born out of the realization that while I usually have these almond ingredients on hand, I tend not to put them all together in one recipe. And I thought, why not? The result is a very scrumptious almond scone that is just slightly sweet from the almond paste and the granulated…

Benedictine Pear Loaf Cake
If ever there was a recurrent theme for me here, it would be a quick bread made in a loaf pan. That’s just how I roll, I guess. Maybe I should change the name to Dave’s Quick Bread Recipes? Hmmm. This came about actually while initially searching online for an apple cake recipe, and finding…

matcha blackberry friands, vegan
A friand is a small almond cake, similar to French financiers. In fact, friand literally means “a tasty thing” in French. They are popular in Australia and New Zealand. The main ingredients for both friand and financier are almond flour, brown butter, icing sugar, and egg whites, but a friand often has additional ingredients and flavors…

purple sweet potato bread
(This was actually made a few weeks ago, but since I'm on vacation, I thought I'd post it now) Truth be told, I went to Seafood City hoping to buy Ube, or Filipino Purple Yam, and instead ended up getting Okinawan sweet potatoes by mistake! I was just going by what the signs said. And…

ube marble bread
This is my third attempt at ube bread. Ube is a Filipino purple yam, used in many Filipino desserts, usually as fillings, ice cream flavors, cheesecake, cookies, breads and rolls, etc. Usually in Filipino Bakeries, if something is called ube bread, it’s a soft yeast bread, like a brioche dough, with swirls of sweetened ube. I decided to…
