I really like this cake, and I’m pretty sure you will too: chocolate chips scattered amidst a cinnamon-kissed sour cream batter? yes please, and thank you very much.
easy to make, and even easier to eat.

healthy avocado loaf with a lime glaze
HEAD’S UP if you’re a londoner – or will be in london come october – and love food fests: I have a giveaway happening later today!
let’s start by saying that this loaf is gorgeous. the loaf is a deep golden outside, and the most brilliant pastel green withine green, the icing is a brilliant white cover holding a sprinkle of green pepitas in place.
there isn’t any added fat in this recipe – it’s essentially a pound cake with the butter replaced by a fair amount of mashed avocado (rather deservedly termed nature’s butter) and with only four ingredients to it, it’s an easy task to churn this one out in an hour (and most of that’s spent baking, what’s more). if you’ve ever made a fat-free banana bread, the texture of this one will be pretty familiar – it’s got the sturdiness of a quickbread and a rather elastic crumb, and makes for a heck of a great tea accompainment.
quadruple chocolate cake
utterly phenomenal. if you ever take anything away from this ol’ blog, take this recipe and make it. I baked it (almost) wholesale with instruction from my favorite domestic spinmeister-o’-words, nigella lawson, and it is the stuff of my chocolate-craving dreams.
deep and dark, and the most satisfying chocolate cake I’ve had – a tightly-bound fine crumb, the lightness of a good butter cake, the rich darkness of good bittersweet chocolate, and it keeps like a dream. and with a name like that, how can you resist? I certainly couldn’t.
hainanese butter cake
one of the best butter cakes I’ve made – and one that stood out with a fine crumb, an intensely buttery flavor, and a very clean cut.
butter cake (no. 2, and even better)
so I’ve written endlessly of my family’s love for loaf cakes, and this cake falls right smack into their favourites. a traditional butter cake texture – which means denser than a pound cake but still light with tender but tightly-packed crumbs – and the rich smell of butter wafting through the air, a not-quite-subtle hint of the moist deliciousness to come.
