Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

No Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake Tart. It might look like the 4th of July but this is the perfect no bake dessert year round with whatever berries or fruit topping you like.

Honey Cake with Rum & Butter Bananas. This easy to make rich honey cake is wonderful all on it’s own but dress it up with some quickly sautéed rum and butter bananas to take it to another luscious level.

Black and White Cake. An all time kid favourite among our family and friends. A easy one-bowl chocolate cake covered in plenty of fluffy marshmallow frosting is sure to please kids of all ages.

Honey Banana Snack Cake. The quickest and easiest snack cake ever. All ingredients go into one bowl, then it’s just mix and bake! Perfect for packed lunches and after school snacks.

Peach Fruitcake. A decades old family recipe for a dense, flavourful and very moist fruitcake for the Holiday season, with instructions for soaking in brandy too.

Cherry Pecan Cake. A moist delicious cream cheese pound cake with maraschino cherries and crunchy pecans baked right in.

Ultimate Nut Fruitcake. Using 5 different delicious nuts! This recipe uses hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts and pecans in the cake and is topped by a sweet almond marzipan layer in the ultimate fruitcake for those who can’t get enough of crunchy nuts.

Apricot Raisin Cake. One of the most popular seasonal cake recipes here in Newfoundland during the Holidays, but it is easy enough to be enjoyed any time of year.

Newfoundland Cherry Cake. A big local favourite especially during the Holidays. The secret in this recipe is undiluted evaporated milk for added richness.

The Best Classic Canadian Butter Tarts. There’s a reason why we have a national obsession with these sweet, buttery, caramel-y tarts. I’ve sampled them in many places across the country and this thick pastry version is my favourite. Don’t do the raisin debate,  just leave them out if they are not your thing. Everyone should be able to enjoy them as they like them.
