Super moist and easy to make, this Okanagan Apple Cake is loaded with fresh apples, raisins, and walnuts. We took an old fashioned recipe and reduced the sugar, added more apples added whole wheat flour to make make it a bit healthier!
Chocolate Banana Olive Oil Cake (GF option)
Who doesn’t LOVE banana cake? Our clan is obsessed, and the novelty of a freshly baked loaf of banana bread coming out of the oven never seems to wear out. I’ve had the same recipe on repeat for over 25 years (there’s a reason, it’s SO GOOD… and yes, I’m that old if you are…
Plum Coffee Cake (Two-Ways)
I’m tired. Of picking plums. No really, I am. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful to have a plum tree, and don’t want to sound like a whiner, but this tree HAS NOT STOPPED. Seriously, this small, unassuming, and not-so-pretty plum tree in our yard has proven to be the Magic Porridge Pot of…
Sicilian Citrus Ricotta Bundt Cake
It’s that time of year when I start craving lighter flavours, and citrus is at the top of that list! If you follow me regularly you will know that I have a bit of an obsession with bundt pans. I mean, who wouldn’t, they are SO gorgeous! This Citrus Ricotta Bundt Cake is so moist…
Apple Greek Yogurt Cake
One of my fondest memories growing up in the Okanagan was the anticipation of fruit season. Cherries, plums, peaches, pears, and of course, delicious crunchy apples fresh off of the tree.

Double Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Olive oil and chocolate? Crazy as it sounds, it’s a match made in heaven. February is Heart Month and of course Valentine’s Day, not that anybody needs a reason to bake a chocolate cake! I decided to celebrate it this year by raiding the baking aisle in Nature’s Fare, with a side trip to the…
Upside-Down Pear Gingerbread Cake
There are few things that define the holidays more than gingerbread. The smell and taste instantly take me back to my childhood and hours spent putting together (and eating) gingerbread houses. I’ve tried so many different versions of upside down cakes, but never one with gingerbread. Of course pear and gingerbread seemed like a match…
Greek Yogurt Peach Upside Down Cake
This upside down cake is a bit of a show off. It is ridiculously moist with a delicious lemony flavour and a pretty display of peaches. You may be tempted to skip the step with the egg whites: don’t. It truly makes the cake light and airy. You will need 3-4 peaches for this recipe, depending…
Lemon Almond Ricotta Cake
I was walking through the grocery store, and out of nowhere I had this crazy impulse to buy ricotta. Now, don’t ask me why. At first I thought, am I pregnant? Nope. But there was no doubt I was leaving that store with the biggest container they sell. Maybe it’s all of this research that…
