Sweets

Cheesecake brownies

Cheesecake brownies

Two of my favorite desserts, combined. Sweet-salty cheesecake swirled between layers of fudge-y brownie baked with dark chocolate. You really don’t need a special occasion to enjoy these delectable cheesecake brownies.
Cook time: 50 minutes minutes
Servings: 36 brownies
Banana bread with chocolate chips and nuts

Banana bread with chocolate chips and nuts

Got overripe bananas? Mash them and bake them into this banana bread (it’s really a cake) that’s ultra moist and chock-full of chocolate chips and nuts.
Cook time: 30 minutes minutes
Servings: 3 small cakes
Cookies and cream polvoron

Cookies and cream polvoron

To the basic polvoron ingredients (toasted flour, sugar, milk and butter), crushed Oreo cookies and cocoa powder are added for a modern take on an old favorite.
Cook time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 12 large polvorones
Almond and pecan polvoron

Almond and pecan polvoron

Ground pecans and store-bought almond flour are substituted for wheat flour to make these polvoron gluten-free.
Cook time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 10 large polvorones
Chinese egg cakes

Chinese egg cakes

Sponge-y and light with a whiff of lemon, these small cakes are lovely with tea. They are so easy to make because there is no need to separate the egg yolks from the whites.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 30 small cakes
