Almond

Sunken Grape Almond Cake. A rich, buttery almond cake with pops of sweet tart flavour from the little grapes that get baked right inside. A beautiful addition to your weekend brunch.

Cherry Almond Squares. Cherry and almond flavours are a natural flavour combination. This is the easiest recipe that I’ve found yet to make these cookie bars using fresh or frozen cherries.

These almond raisin biscotti are twice baked in the traditional Italian style. Perfect for Holiday baking and gift giving. Delicious dipped in hot coffee or red wine.

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.

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

Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Oatmeal Almond Streusel. These blueberry lemon muffins are delicious as is, but they get another level of flavour & texture with the addition of an oatmeal almond streusel topping.

Turkey Tetrazzini with Almond Parmesan Topping – an intensely flavourful, very satisfying comfort food idea for turkey or chicken. Heck, I’d even roast an extra chicken on a Sunday, just to have this on Monday!

Pear Almond Cake with Creme Anglaise. A wonderfully moist and nutty flavoured cake with sweet pears baked right in and served with warm Creme Anglaise custard. A superb Autumn comfort food dessert.

Apricot Almond Jammie Dodgers. A tasty twist on a homemade version of the United Kingdom’s favourite cookie. Ground almonds in the cookie dough pair perfectly with the sweet apricot jam. However, if apricot’s not your favourite flavour, any good quality jam can be substituted.

Blueberry Almond Butter Muffins. Only 164 calories each! Low fat, high fibre muffins made without refined sugar, but so utterly moist and delicious, nobody will notice or care that they are a healthier option.
