This decadent cake is super moist with a luscious glaze that’s bursting with lemon flavour. A heavenly Lemon Bundt Cake that you’ll never think is so easy to whip up!

INGREDIENTS

Lemon Bundt Cake:

1 c. Olive Oil

1 (3.9 ounces) pkg. Instant Lemon Pudding Mix

1 (15.25 ounces) pkg. Lemon Cake Mix (Preferably Betty Crocker)

1 c. Sour Cream

½ c. Water

4 Large Eggs

Lemon Glaze:

2 tablespoons FRESH Lemon Juice

1 c. Powdered Sugar

Lemon Cream Cheese Icing:

1 tablespoon butter (softened)

2 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)

1 tablespoon Milk

2 c. Powdered Sugar

Yellow Food Coloring

2 tablespoons FRESH Lemon Juice

White Chocolate:

6 ounces White Chocolate Chips or White Chocolate Wafers

How to make Easy Lemon Bundt Cake

Lemon Bundt Cake:

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 cup Bundt pan. You can also coat it with cake release.

Step 2: Into a large mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, instant pudding mix, sour cream, olive oil, eggs, and water for about 30 to 45 seconds until well mixed.

Step 3: Into the prepared bundt pan, spoon the batter, then evenly spread it out. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean and the top of the cake is quite brown.

Step 4: Remove the pan from the oven when done and onto a wire rack to cool the cake for at least 20 minutes. Invert the cake after 20 minutes and let it cool completely before glazing.

Lemon Glaze:

Step 5: Combine a cup of powdered sugar with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, then drizzle it over the cake.

Lemon Cream Cheese Icing:

Step 6: Beat 2 ounces cream cheese with a tbsp butter until well mixed. Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and a tbsp milk, beating continuously until incorporated. Now, mix in 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice with a bit of yellow food colouring. Keep beating until the mixture is completely smooth.

Step 7: Transfer the icing into a 12-inch disposable frosting bag. Make a tiny snip at the end of the bag and start piping the icing in a back and forth motion over the cake.

White Chocolate:

Step 8: Carefully melt the white chocolate chips. Drizzle this on top of the cake in a back and forth gesture.

Step 9: Place the finished cake in the fridge to set.

NOTES:

To make a homemade cake release, combine equal parts of shortening, cooking oil, and flour. Brush this onto the baking pan using a pastry brush. I whisk half tbsp shortening with half tbsp each olive oil and flour for this recipe.

You can make this cake using a stand mixer, hand beaters, or by hand.

I recommend using only fresh lemon for this recipe as bottled lemon juice varies by brand, bottle, and age. For the best result, you can mix lemon juice using True Lemon Crystallized Lemon instead of the lemon juice.

This is one of the best shrimp recipes and caught me off guard when I first made it. Incredibly easy to throw together and ready in no time! Shrimps smothered in a buttery, lemony, and spicy sauce. This dish is worth getting your hands dirty! Serve this New Orleans pride with crusty bread on the side to soak and mop up all that delicious sauce.

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp butter

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)

2 tsp creole seasoning

1/3 c. beer, wine, or broth

1/4 c. hot sauce (or to taste)

2 tbsp butter, chilled and cut into 1/2” pieces

salt to taste

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

How to make New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

Step 1: In a pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic to the pan and saute for approximately 30 seconds until aromatic. Now, add the hot sauce along with Worcestershire sauce, beer, lemon juice, creole seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce has been reduced by half.

Step 2: To the pan with the sauce, nestle the shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remember, the cooking time varies depending on the size of the shrimp.

Step 3: Adjust the heat to medium-low, then stir in the chilled butter until melted. To taste, season with salt. Serve with French bread on the side. Enjoy!

Notes:

You can either leave the shells and heads on of the shrimp or if time permits, remove the shells.

Add the hot sauce a little at a time until you have your desired heat level.

Go easy with creole seasonings as different brands have antithetic amounts of salt. Add the seasoning a little at a time. Also, to have more control over sodium, you can make simply make homemade creole seasoning.

You can make a slurry (mix corn starch with cold water until no lumps) and stir this into the sauce to thicken it. This saves you more time than simmering the sauce further until reduced by half.

Serve this BBQ shrimp garnished with some sliced green onions or chopped parsley if desired.

What other than simple homemade doughnuts could you wish? Such easy doughnuts, filled with homemade custard, are the perfect sweet dishes to eat every day. They’ll surely be a treat for every age (especially the children).

Ingredients:

For the doughnuts:

400g strong white bread flour

45g golden caster sugar

24g fresh yeast

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

100ml lukewarm water

40g softened butter

Oil for frying (approximately 1.5L)

Caster sugar for coating

For the custard filling:

1 vanilla pod

375ml whole milk

5 egg yolks

90g golden caster sugar

40g plain flour sieved

150ml double cream

Directions:

Place all the dough ingredients, including butter, in a stand mixer and use a dough hook to mix for around 10-15 minutes until the dough forms a ball and flows away from the sides of the bowl. In a higher setting, continue to beat until the dough is shiny, smooth, and elastic. Cover the bowl with a tea towel, and let it grow until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

Once the dough rises, tilt it out of the bowl and knead it a couple of times to draw out the warmth. Put it back and cover it again, let it prove before it doubles in size again.

Create the custard: place the milk in a saucepan. Split the vanilla pod open and scrape the seeds into the milk, and then add the pod back in. Place the egg yolks, sugar, and flour in a bowl and whisk together to get the milk to the scalding point and remove it from the sun. Pour the hot milk gradually into the mixture of the eggs, whisking constantly. Once this has been applied, clean the pan and pour the mixture back in through a fine sieve and place it back on the flame. Warm-up gently and keep whisking until the custard thickens.

Upon thickening, remove to cool into a tub.

If the dough is twice as big, cut the dough into pieces of approximately 50 g, and shape it into neat balls. Place it on a well-floured tray, distributed apart, and dust with flour again, loosely covering the entire tray with cling film. In the warm spot, placed the trays to show the final results of the doughnuts, before they have been puffed up and up.

Beat the double cream together using an electric whisk until it reaches medium peaks. Then spoon in the refreshed custard and fold. Spoon the custard in a tube bag fitted with a little round nozzle. Place the tube bag and keep it until later in the fridge.

They are ready to fry once the doughnuts have their final prove. Put the oil in a high-sided cup and heat it to 180 ° C. Fill the base of the baking tray with dusting caster sugar.

Carefully lift doughnuts out of the tray to avoid air removal. Place the bowl in foil and allow it to cook on one side for about 2 minutes and change the pan, cook it in batches and cook the other side. When fried, extract from the oil and dry for a moment on some parchment paper, then apply caster sugar and dust liberally to the tray.

Fill all the doughnuts with custard after frying and coating in sugar. Build a hole with a chopstick on the side of a doughnut.

Take the tube pocket, put the nozzle in the hole, and fill the middle. Finish on the outside with a bit of extra custard before serving.

Meatloaf is my kid’s favorite! It is tender, juicy, and loaded with flavors! Just like how my kids like it. Before, I thought it is hard to prepare but I was so wrong. It’s pretty easy, however, to make the perfect meatloaf we have to make sure not to overmix because when you do you’ll end up with a tough and not tender result. So mix the ingredients until just combined. Use lean meat (as much as possible) but not too lean. We still need a bit of fat for flavor. And speaking of flavor, it is not enough to just add the seasonings, you must soak the breadcrumbs in milk for that extra flavor and moisture. And cook using a baking sheet, don’t use a loaf pan or else you’ll get a steamed meatloaf and you don’t want that. Then, let the meatloaf rest for the juice to redistribute making sure the loaf will not fall apart. Sounds complicated? Trust me it’s not. Just remember these tips and you’ll have the perfect meatloaf.

Step 5: In a small bowl, combine the chili sauce and ketchup (and brown sugar if using). Spread evenly over the meatloaf and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until cook through. Making sure the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F.

1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

3/4 tsp. garlic powder, divided

How to make Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a deep 9-inch-square baking dish or a 3-quart casserole dish.

Ready the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Put a rack in the middle part of the oven. Grease the deep 9-inch square baking dish lightly. (You can also use a 3-quart casserole)

Bring a large pot into a boil with the chicken stock in it and add rice.   Add in the broccoli on top of the rice and do not stir. Cover and turn the heat low. Cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the pot and let it sit for another 5 minutes to dissolve the liquid in the rice.

Place a deep pot with olive oil in the oven and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken breasts, 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. of pepper, and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Sauté the ingredients until it’s cooked for 4-6 minutes. Check if the chicken is cooked through by looking if the center is not pink then move to a plate. At this stage, the pot is really hot so be very cautious not to hurt yourself.

Now, turn the heat to medium. Add in 1/2 cup of milk and flour in a small bowl or a big measuring cup. Pour in the mixture into the pot and add the remainder of the milk. Cook for 7-10 minutes while stirring until the texture turns thick. Turn off the heat and add in the Dijon, 1/4 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. black pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add in the 1 cup of shredded cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Add in the broccoli mixture, saved chicken breasts, and rice into the cheese sauce. Stir mildly to coat the 3 ingredients with the sauce. Transfer the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until foamy and hot. Let it sit for another 10 minutes and it’s for serving!
