Chia seeds are an important health food that has been used foe centuries by the Aztecs and Mayan populations. Chia seeds are a great source of protein. Just one ounce contains 5.6 grams of it. They are also a great source of fiber, calcium, manganese and more. For a small seed, they certainly pack the nutritional punch!
But when it comes to grab and go healthy breakfasts, this vanilla chia pudding is up there. You simple mix it together and put it into mason jars the night before and then add the toppings in the morning. Depending on what your toppings are, you could potentially add some the night before as well.
Having this breakfast already prepared ahead of time will makes things so simple. You can use any dairy-free milk alternative that you want but, I like the creaminess of coconut milk. Use this chia seed pudding recipe as a healthy breakfast, satisfying dessert or simple snack.
Pour chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla and coconut milk in large bowl. Mix well in a large mixing bowl. Portion as desired and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Top with fruits like berries and bananas.

The cousin (Read: Riya) used to bake us pecan tarts as someone who was still in university, giving tuitions part-time and the price of pecans were absurd. Today she is a working adult and the monetary value of pecans no longer bother her. There were a lot of pecans in the tarts plus the crust was made with cream cheese. It was so flaky, deep in flavors and luscious. My mommy who can be pretty much a fussy eater actually confessed to eating SIX of those pecan tarts.
Gordon Ramsay book and cards. A gorgeous Bobbi Brown thermos, a couple of lipsticks/lip gloss, a handbag and many more great stuffs. The most needed gift had to be the butane torch because mine broke down a year ago and I never seemed to remember to buy one until the time I crave for a Creme Brulee. You can be sure that I am going to make one pretty soon!
Last Christmas I made some dark chocolate mousse and some white chocolate mousse that was a hit with the cousins. This year, I layered the two shades of chocolate in little cups. I fiddled around with the layers though; some had more dark cocoa and just about had more white chocolate. This actually caters to individual preference as some of the cousins prefer more white chocolate and the rest would prefer more of dark chocolate. Everyone can be happy that way!
The White and Dark Chocolate Mousse is as pleasing to the eye as they are to the sweet tooth. It is really a make and forget kinda dessert. You just make a batch of these and store in the fridge till the time your guests arrived. It also keeps well, thus you can really make it way in advance.

Moist and fluffy marble cake made from scratch doesn't have to be complicated. Many times, you guys have asked me for an easy marble cake recipe that did not require two cake recipes. After a lot of testing, I finally have the PERFECT recipe for you based on my ever-popular vanilla cake recipe!
What makes this cake so amazing is all you have to do is make the vanilla cake and then flavor part of the cake with my chocolate mixture to make the chocolate batter then swirl it all together! Simple!
Cake flour - Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour. What this means is that when you use cake flour in your cake recipe, your cake will be more tender and have a softer crumb.
The idea of marbling two different colored batters into a cake originated in nineteenth-century Germany. Marble cake made its way to America with German immigrants before the Civil War. Originally, the cakes were marbled with molasses and spices.
In 1889, a recipe appeared in a popular cookbook that took advantage of Americans' obsession with chocolate and replaced molasses with chocolate. Thus, the popular marble cake that we know about today was born.
During the 50's all the way through the 70's, bakeries in New York were adding almond extract to their marble cake batter as a signature flavor and sometimes referred to it as German marble cake. This was originally more of a snacking cake meant to be sliced and served without frosting and eaten with tea or coffee.
Hi Liz, Thanks again for all of your amazing recipes and tips. You're my go-to professional baker.
My question, I am attempting a large cake project that requires sturdy cake layers. It will have various sizes and shape cake layers that will be stacked high. Would you recommend using this cake recipe for something like that?
Hi Denyel, yes this marble cake recipe is very soft and moist but also sturdy for stacked and sculpted cakes. I used this recipe for my 'Light Fury' cake tutorial. I also have cake recipes specifically for sculpting if you need something extra extra sturdy. Hope this helps!
I made this for a friend's kid's birthday. It was a big hit. and My husband and I ate the scraps I cut off when I leveled it. SO GOOD. Could tell just from the scraps how fluffy but not-at-all dry it was. I make a lot of cakes and my husband is my main taste tester and he immediately declared that this is the cake he wants for his birthday in 3 months! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
This was by far the best cake I have ever made and it was so moist and fluffy. I followed the recipe exact and everything went great. My friends who have tried everything I make were speechless after they ate it.
This cake turned out AMAZING! super moist, and delicious!! The only problem I seemed to run into....I baked the cake, let it cool, wrapped it and froze for about 6 days before decorating. When we ate the cake....it was sort of crumbly to me...not dry...yet crumbly. Did I do something wrong? Or what could have caused this? Thank you!!
This recipe needs cake flour because it uses the reverse creaming method. If you use AP flour it could turn out with a cornbread-like consistency, so using a softer flour will make it have that delicious texture.

I made this with half strawberries- half blueberries for dessert tonight. I served it with vanilla ice cream and my guests raved. I think this would be delicious with other berries and with stone fruit as well. A definite keeper.
I made this substituting frozen strawberries, since the season is over in Virginia, slightly mashed while semi-frozen which resulted in thick fruit puddles that are delicious. Definitely a different texture than Deb is going for. My Grammy made a nearly identical seasonal cake in a sheet pan with sliced (skin on) peaches. The larger pan with the same amount of batter allows for even more fruit deliciousness!
Hi, do you sub out all the flour for almond flour or partially? I was skimming the comments looking for exactly this, ie whether anyone has incorporated any almond flour. I love the texture in fruity cakes like this!
