Blueberries and chocolate in one muffin — I genuinely do not understand why this combination is not talked about more. The tartness of the blueberries cuts right through the richness of the chocolate, and what you get is something so perfectly balanced it is difficult to stop at one.
There are some recipes that just feel like a warm hug. This Eggless Coffee Walnut Cake is one of them. The moment this cake goes into the oven, the entire house smells of coffee and roasted walnuts — and I am not exaggerating when I say that smell alone is worth baking it for.
There are cakes you make for occasions. And then there are cakes you make just because it is three in the afternoon, the kettle is on, and something warm and fragrant from the oven sounds like exactly the right idea. This coconut butter cake is firmly in that second category.
