Can you imagine what the sweetest Christmas tree would be like? I'm sure it would be made of tender branches, with a flavor as delicate as these Christmas pistachio madeleines, with which I suggest making a perfect Christmas fir to preside over the table this holiday season. That is, if it doesn't disappear as soon as you bring it to the table, because the temptation is enormous!

If you want to see how to make a homemade cake that’s also easy, moist, and very aromatic, this recipe has it all! With this orange and pistachio cake you’ll be sure to succeed and I guarantee there won’t be a crumb left once they try it. The cake itself is wonderful, but topped with that orange glaze it becomes spectacular. Paired with a good café con leche, for me it’s one of the best breakfasts.

There are cakes that smell like Sunday and this is one of them. This citrus lemon and orange bundt with poppy seeds has that fresh, cheerful note that wins you over from the first bite: it’s fluffy, fragrant, and has the special crunchy touch of poppy seeds.

If you enjoy aromatic cakes with a tender crumb and that special something that makes them unforgettable, this orange, cardamom and olive oil bundt cake will steal your heart. It’s a soft, fluffy cake with the fresh scent of orange and a warm hint of spice, making it perfect for relaxed breakfasts, cozy afternoon treats with company, or as a homemade dessert you’ll always crave.

Today I bring the recipe for an almond Bundt cake that turns heads: elegant, with a raspberry filling that peeks out in every slice and a glossy glaze that looks professionally made. Best of all, although it seems like a bakery dessert, it's much easier to make than you might think.

When a very chocolatey dessert is what you want at home, these individual coulant-style brownies become the best option: small, intense, and with that gooey interior that makes them irresistible. They are easy and quick to prepare (Claudia's word!, because you'll have them ready in 20 minutes), and I assure you that that moist chocolate center will be your downfall and everyone who tries them.

Few things please me as much as the combination of hazelnuts and dark chocolate. That’s why this hazelnut cake with chocolate chips has stolen my heart. Because of that and also because it has a third wonderful ingredient, which is browned butter, brown butter or beurre noisette. The combination of all of them creates a cake with a delicious flavor and an incredible aroma that, when it escapes the oven, fills every corner of the kitchen.

Summer and horchata go hand in hand... I'm sharing a perfect way to use leftover tiger nut pulp and to accompany horchata in the most delicious way! These tiger nut, cinnamon, and apple muffins are pure fluffiness and taste delicious.

If cooking is an act of love, making desserts like this strawberry sponge cake with a crème brûlée topping or burnt cream is, without a doubt, the sweetest expression of that love.

If there's one thing you can't deny about this strawberry and champagne cake, it's that besides being delicious, it has all the glamour you can imagine and is incredibly elegant. Its light, airy texture, the intense aroma of the freeze-dried strawberries, and the tart note of the cava give it a wonderful, almost addictive flavor. And since it's ready in no time, even if you make it by hand, it's a perfect option to delight your guests.

Today I bring you the perfect excuse to encourage the little ones at home to dress up as little chefs and, while you're at it, bake the best and simplest muffin recipe. You'll see how these chocolate and hazelnut muffins make them run to the kitchen to get their hands in the dough without you having to insist.

How about taking advantage of strawberry season to make a delicious cake? Since I have no doubt the answer is a resounding "Yes", I invite you to take good note of the recipe for this vanilla cake with whipped strawberry ganache. I'm sure you're going to love it!
