Best Newfoundland Christmas Cake Recipes. A collection of 16 recipes for traditional Christmas Cakes from my childhood, plus new twists on tried & true favourites.
Best Loaf Cakes. Sometimes a smaller cake serves your needs better than a full sized dessert. These are great for weekday dessert, snacks, packed lunches or gift giving at any time of year.
Fruitcake Loaf Cake. A richly flavoured cream cheese batter is the star of this quick, easy fruitcake in a smaller, more economical loaf size for those who don’t want or need a large fruitcake.
Old Fashioned Shortbread Cookies. A life-long love of shortbread cookies has meant many variations in my kitchen over the years but at Christmas time I always return to the simple recipe I loved as a child.
Old English Fruitcake. Dark and moist with plenty of spices and packed with plenty of sweet glacé fruit. It’s been a Christmas tradition in my family for decades.
Gumdrop Cake. A dense buttery pound cake packed with brilliantly coloured morsels of gumdrop candy. It’s very popular during the Holidays or as a birthday cake here in Newfoundland.
Strawberry Lime Slush. An economical, icy, refreshing slush serves as the base for this popular spritz cocktail for the Holidays or for summer entertaining.
Apricot Hazelnut Pound Cake. A favourite old fashioned pound cake recipe gets a delicious update with the addition of crunchy toasted hazelnuts and sweet dried apricots.
Blueberry Cream Puffs. An easy, luscious blueberry compote is swirled into vanilla whipped cream and liberally stuffed into crispy choux pastry shells.
