Lemon poppy seed snack cake



But if you love lemon, you will be happy to have more recipes in your repertoire. 
My family and I love lemon flavor, esp. lemon cake, it goes so quick. And it's fun for me to make some adaptations to the recipe or try new recipes.  
And this time, our lemon cake is more delicious because it's packed with a load of lemon (zest and juice)! The cake is super soft as the acidity from the lemon juice cuts the gluten in the flour so you get a melt-in-your-mouth texture. For the frosting, the richness of cream chees and butter and the tanginess from lemon are the best combination (in my opinion, haha). Eating them together is very recommended, but if you want only the cake itself is very good too. ^^


*I use poppy seed in this recipe but you can omit it if you don't have it.

Mini Strawberry Tarts




The weather was not well last week, I woke up having a headache almost every day - _-". And because of this reason, I didn't have much idea for baking too. 
Anyway, when I tried to think about something that will make me feel better, berries came to my mind. 
And this recipe began. 


Simple tart that is made from almond cream and fresh strawberries.
The small (6 cm.) tart pastry is filled with strawberry filling and almond cream, then topped with whipped cream and strawberries. I really love the size of this tart, it's cute and it's the right size for 1 person, well you may think that lining a small tart is hard but after 2-3 pieces it will be easier.
You can prepare the base by baking tart pastry and almond cream the day before and decorate it with cream and strawberries before serving.
