Malaysian Honeycomb Cake/Beehive Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes from childhood! Named after its honeycomb-like patterns, it has two distinct layers – the top is light and tender while the bottom has a texture similar to a sponge cake. The flavor is reminiscent of warm, delicious butterscotch and is surprisingly not too sweet – we absolutely love […]

Coffee-Flavored Banana Cake

Delicious! {Adapted from the Sour Cream Banana Cake recipe from the Good Home Cooking […]

The two main reasons why I was first drawn to this recipe were how elegant the cake looks and […]
