Honey Ricotta and Fig cake

wildflower honey
ricotta and sour cream
figs from the local farmers market
baked in 2 handpicked fig leaf
turbinado sugar topped

recipe details🤍:

10 tbsp unsalted butter (room temp)
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs (room temp)
1 cup ricotta (room temp)
2 tbsp sour cream
3 tbsp wildflower honey
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp lemon zest (or orange)
1 ¼ cup AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
i used about 8 figs
1-2 tbsp turbinado sugar

preheat oven to 375*

- 6inch or 8inch spring foam pan

mix butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes

on medium low speed at eggs one at a time, scrape sides when needed

add ricotta, sour cream, vanilla, honey and zest on same speed - may look lumpy - 2-3 minutes

slowly add the mixture of dry ingredients till just combined

pour into fig leaf positioned in spring foam pan - tap on counter to eliminate air bubbles and spread batter with a spatula to make even on top

arrange the halved figs on top and slightly press them into the cake batter - sprinkle turbinado sugar on top

bake for 40-45 minutes, until toothpick insert comes out clean then cool in pan 15-20 minutes

be careful taking out of pan if using fig leaf as parchment paper!

-

i remember sharing this cake the first time i made it and it got so much love, it truly is special, the way the fig flavor accentuates from being baked in the fig leaf was mind blowing to me!

wildflower honey was a preference of mine, it added more floral flavor but you can use regular honey or another flavored honey :)

abstract chocolate flourless cake

dark chocolate shards @askinosie 88%
@cotedorbe dark chocolate poured on top

this recipe is my dads, I have posted it on here last year around this time… to share some words to credit my dad for this amazing recipe:

a memory I can always recall and that I hold dear to my heart, is my dad making chocolate flourless cake when I was a kid!

My dad is the person who taught me most of what I know about cooking & baking at an early age. It's a true blessing to have learned from such a talented man who never went to culinary school and has succeeded 20+ yrs as a well rounded, respected and outstanding chef and creator - Proud is an understatement, I love you dad❤️

zucchini basil olive oil cake

zucchini olive oil cake
moringa buttercream
basil lemon sugar
lemon glaze

topped with:

more basil sugar
fresh basil & purple basil
round zucchini
zephyr & patty pan squash

this cake was so special to make, mainly because I had been dreaming of this creation for a long time! 🌱

the vision for this cake was green & herbaceous, when I went to the famers market mid week last last week, I picked up some beautiful and petite squash, and one of the venders gave me these luscious bundles of basil!

I had never tasted purple basil let alone work with it, but it added a much more floral basil flavor and was exciting to use💜

-

@hellobranche kindly gifted me two bottles of extra virgin olive oil and I used their No. 2 for this cake - I cannot emphasize enough how incredible the flavor the oil was in this cake, my jaw dropped as I was eating the first slice, the buttery beautiful flavor came through strongly paired with the zucchini, the flavors of the buttercream, lemon glaze and basil sugar balanced it out in a gentle way that brought together this cake that I am so proud of✨

guava strawberry cake recipe is now on my substack ✨

thank you all so much for the love on this cake. I had multiple people messaging me and asking for the recipe, which honestly caught me by surprise. I never expected this little cake to get the love and curiosity it did, so I share a bit more about how it came to be, unexpectedly, in the article!

there’s something so wholesome about watching something you create out of a spontaneous moment receive so much love. this was one of those cakes I made on a whim, without days of planning, sleepless nights dreaming up flavor combinations, or brainstorming wacky ideas. just following a little spark of inspiration and seeing where it takes me🤍

shots from fall recipe development 🧡🍂

squash, hazelnut, ginger, black sesame, warm spices. fennel, walnuts, date, sage, pumpkin, chai, miso, hickory. harvested, apple, smokiness, carrot, golden warmth, brown butter, chocolate, thyme, unhurried.

nearly every year, september feels like the longest month to me, yet somehow, time passes so quickly that I suddenly find myself nearly two weeks into october.

~

fall is one of my favorite seasons. it’s the bridge between summer and winter, a beautiful time to witness change and invite warmth and slowness into our lives, which often move too quickly. I think that’s part of the reason I feel a little frustrated when the days seem to slip away during this time of year.

I often find myself gripping onto every moment, longing for more time to bake all that I dream up, create all the meals that come to mind, and work with all the beautiful ingredients that fill the season of autumn. it can feel overwhelming during a time when all I really want is to slow down (can you relate?)

alongside this, I’ve been sick for much of the past month, and recovering has been a struggle. this past week i have found the comfort in making deeply nourishing meals when I can, allowing food to be a small way of caring for myself through it all.

~

this time has also given me space to work on developing my recipes, and I’ve been secretly curating something that I cannot wait to share with you all🤎

so, for now, a little transparency into this season of life, alongside some beautiful glimpses of dishes to come!

a 7-mile hike to the top of a mountain with everything needed to make a nourishing, replenishing colorful breakfast🫐🌿🌸

@eatsimpli amaranth porridge
coconut yogurt and honey
berries, papaya, pomegranate and figs
sprinkles of bee pollen, rose pedals, calendula pedals
topped with @eatsimpli peruvian pink sea salt

one of my favorite ways to spend time outdoors is creating beautiful meals with what nature provides. @eatsimpli holds much meaning to me as their values align so closely with my own and the way I see food, celebrating the beauty of ingredients, supporting the people who grow them, while respecting and caring for the land they come from.

what makes SIMPLi so special is that their work goes beyond the packaging of regenerative ingredients. they partner directly with farmers and help support the transition toward regenerative agriculture, such practices help restore soil, strengthen and protect the ecosystems that give us our food, and build a more resilient food system for the future💚

this meal made with @eatsimpli shares a reminder that food can be more than nourishment, it can be a way of reconnecting with the earth, something I found myself thinking about as I cooked. the sun slowly coming out as the amaranth simmered, being content in the present moment, sitting on a stump, looking out at the horizon gratefully eating what I just made for myself✨

fig leaf almond crémé brûlée tart

fig leaf almond pâte sucrée
almond pistachio frangipane
brown sugar vanilla creme brûlée custard

recipe coming soon🌿

I don’t often work with pastry in this way, creating a composed, multi-layered tart. the precision, patience, repetition, and attention to each layer, it’s not where my work usually takes me, but I love stepping outside of what feels familiar and into the unknown, letting the process and the attempt teach me something new.

this was fun to experiment with, to try something new, to test myself, and create something different from what I generally make!

although this wasn’t a complex pastry, just three simple layers, it was still an unfamiliar type of pastry. creating each component with curiosity, intention, and love✨

meals made while backpacking🥾✨⛺️

a solo backpacking trip, covering 20 miles on catalina island carrying all that I needed to create colorful meals filled with nourishment, flavor and comfort. a 40-45lb backpack with the essentials and ingredients to make a meal from scratch isn’t always easy to do but it’s so fun and well beyond worth it!

food is more than food to me, food is art, food is medicine, food is a story, a season, a gift, food is connection, culture & experience.

it’s the ritual of preparing something with your own hands after a long day on the trail. sitting beside the ocean, eating a meal created from the simplest ingredients and finding comfort in something warm & nourishing while completely disconnected from the world around you.

food becomes more than something to eat, it becomes part of the experience itself, a way of connecting to nature, to creativity, and to myself🫶🏼

— I hope this inspires you to try it, substack article coming soon
