Blueberry Mousse Cake Recipe


Everything about this Blueberry Mousse Cake just makes me drool.

There is the moist and almost juicy white cake. It is covered by a layer of creamy, fruity blueberry mousse, which is very light and refreshing with a light tart note.

The cake is finished with a blueberry jelly glaze and topped with a whipped cream dollop and blueberries.

It is a light cake, perfect for summer time and just a little sweet. If you would like to make this cake at home try the Blueberry Mousse Cake Recipe on my website.

Cashew Coffee Cake Bars Recipe




These tasty Cashew Coffee Cake Bars are quite simple and quick to make.

I was inspired for these by a snack bar we got at one of the rare bakeries here in Thailand.

They consist of a soft raisin coffee cake base with a sweet and crunchy cashew nut brown sugar topping.

Here is what you need:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup raisins

Topping:
1/2 cup chopped cashews (can be natural or salted)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4-1/2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
