Elderberry Biscoff Cheesecake Bars
Much quicker and easier than a full cheesecake, these elderberry biscoff cheesecake bars are luxuriously creamy, perfectly sweet, and swirled with layers of delicious elderberry almond butter! They also sit on a buttery, biscoff cookie base and are filled with tangy raspberries throughout. As you may have already seen in some of my previous recipes, but I…
Boba Milk Tea Cheesecake
Get ready for possibly the best boba dessert you'll ever eat - boba milk tea-infused cheesecake! This recipe came about when I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with Boba Cult, an up-and-coming startup catering to boba-lovers. Boba Cult offers an at-home DIY boba tea kit to enjoy no matter where you are and to…
Cornflake Cereal Cheesecake Squares
Momofuku Milk Bar cornflake cereal craze meets cheesecake? Is there anything better? Earlier in the week, I made some caramel cornflake brownies with some friends and was left with half a box of cornflakes in my cupboard. As someone who doesn't eat cereal that often, I didn't even have milk in my fridge to consume…
Biscoff Coffee Cake
This is the perfect pastry cake to replicate those special ~coffee shop~ vibes that we may all be missing right now. As someone who was never at home (pre-COVID) and was always at a cafe or library, I sure do miss being able to try new pastries and coffee cakes all around. In particular, one…
Taro Boba Tea Cake
To boba lovers and non-boba lovers alike, this cake is definitely one that you need to try! What's better is that you can even make this cake in a RICE COOKER. Yes, a rice cooker! I didn't have a smaller cake tin on hand, so I decided to pour my cake batter in a small…
Matcha and Coconut Tres Leches Cake
For someone who is semi-lactose intolerant (unfortunately), I still wanted to try the infamous tres leches cake! Tres Leches Cake is usually made with 3 components: cake sponge, milk filling, and the toppings. There are usually 4 different types of milk in the filling and topping (whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream),…
Healthy Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake
I had the super fun opportunity to make this recipe for my team at my internship. Since all things work-related are virtual this summer, my team started doing weekly cooking events! One person gets to showcase a recipe over Zoom that others can either follow, replicate later, or just watch for fun! This cake was…
Milk Bar Sprinkles Cake
After hitting 1000+ followers on my Instagram page @jennysbreadbaby, I was so elated and wanted to celebrate! What better way to celebrate than with cake, right? As a huge fan of Christina Tosi, the famous Milk Bar founder and creator, I wanted to make my own rendition of her Milk Bar Birthday Cake. I love…
Matcha Tiramisu aka “matchamisu”
"Matchamisu" is a delicious green tea dessert that combines components of tiramisu with matcha. I concocted this variation to celebrate the end of my school semester and many other things! Can't go wrong with tiramisu for celebrations. I opted to swap out the traditional lady fingers for homemade vanilla cake in this dessert, but decided…
