When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, lemon curd, lemon cake, and a lot of other lemon things, especially when life(your parents) gift you with 20 larger than life lemons to work with. This recipe was my way to use up a decent portion of them(I want to say about 4 lemons were used…

Coconut-Caramel-Chocolate “Levain” Cookies
My sister loves the coconut delight Girls Scout cookies(formerly called Samoas before that was deemed a problematic name). When I went to the newly opened Levain bakery location in West Hollywood, we basically got one of every cookie on their menu(mostly to justify the 1 hour/30 mile drive to there). One of those cookies was…
Coconut-White Chocolate Lava Bundt Cakes
Before I say any more about the recipe, I need to preface this by saying that these cakes are 100% gluten-free. I used coconut flour for additional natural coconut flavor(since coconut flour is just finely ground up coconut flakes) and mochiko(glutinous rice flour) for that stability. You can substitute the mochiko and upwards to half…
Elderflower PiƱka Colada Cake

The peaches weren’t available, but the grocery store did have pink pineapple, so I made an impulse buy, and grabbed the pink pineapple instead. I’m personally surprised that pink pineapples were more…
Gluten-free coconut-lime cheesecakes
I have been craving Magnolia Bakery’s lime and coconut cheesecake since I had it years ago when I visited New York. While one can make the argument that I could just drive to Downtown L.A. to get it, I’m lazy. Lazy enough to try making my own version of it, anyways. So for the cake,…
Coconut Delight Entremet
I actually made this for my sister’s birthday back in August, since I knew that she loves Coconut Delights/Samoas, and this cake made perfect sense for that. My typical format for an entremet is chiffon cake, mousse, maybe a filling in the mousse, and the mirror glaze. For this one, I wanted to semi-change it…
Coconut madeleines
I literally made these on a whim. I had recently come into a lot of coconut flour, and I was thinking of what I could make with it. I had also purchased a madeleine pan recently, and thought about making another gluten-free baked good, so that’s where the idea to make a coconut madeleine came…
