We love this fruit cake for its soft texture and delicate crumb. It is quite different from a traditional rich fruit cake, as it contains no added fat and no raising agents. Like a classic sponge cake, it rises solely thanks to properly whipped egg whites. Some people find

The best nut cheesecake I have ever tasted — and ever baked. A beautiful three-layer cheesecake with a biscuit base, a rich nut filling and finally a creamy cheesecake layer on top. The nut layer is especially delicious and could honestly stand on its own, but
