I’d planned to develop a recipe for Coconut Cream Cheesecake for a quite a while now but never got around to it until this week. The inspiration, or maybe just the …

Banoffee Pie. A dessert favourite in the UK. This luscious banana, caramel toffee, cream, graham cracker crust delight will have everyone at the table asking for seconds. Better make two!

This Triple Chocolate Cheesecake has a chocolate cookie crumb base and a lusciously creamy chocolate cheesecake layer topped with swirls of decadent chocolate ganache. A chocolate lovers fantasy. Make it a Quadruple Chocolate Cheesecake with the addition of some chocolate truffle whipped cream.

One Bowl Gingerbread Cake with Mango Vanilla Jam. Maybe the easiest gingerbread cake recipe ever with sweet tropical mango jam filling and topped with a simple vanilla glaze.

Billot Log Cake is inspired by the famous Vachon snack cake & is perfect for Canada Day. It’s a sponge cake roll with buttercream raspberries & coconut.

Cherry Vanilla Coffee Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze. A most vanilla scratch cake baked on top of sweet dark cherries then glazed with cream cheese frosting. Delicious at a celebration brunch but good enough to serve as a decadent dessert too, especially while still warm.

Jos Louis Cake a.k.a. Copycat Ding Dong Cake. Based upon the famous Canadian snack cake, this recipe has proven to be one of the most popular dessert cakes ever on Rock Recipes.

Lemon Turnovers in Sour Cream Pastry. Tart homemade lemon curd in a light flakey, shortcut pastry recipe.

Homemade Flakies with raspberry compote & vanilla cream. A nostalgic tribute to the Vachon Flakie, one of my very favourite snack cake treats as a kid.
