Pear upside down cake

The super market has been having a whole lot of pears recently and they look super fresh and super delicious. I got a whole pack and after eating all the pear as can, I had to find other ways to use the pears and the cake recipe I found and made is super delicious.
We practically ate this cake for breakfast.

Mango Coconut loaf cake

Coconut is one of the top favorite ingredients of my family. Any recipe remotely tasting or smelling of coconut will be gobbled up in minutes. So this loaf cake is a natural favorite of my family and its super easy to make. I made it and in the first 10 minutes of its life on the kitchen counter it has already been reduced to half its original size😋

Tres leche cake

There used to be bakery close to where I lived before. Their most famous item there was called Tres Leche Cake and I had no idea what it was. So one day I just tried a small piece and I fell in love with it. It was delicious, so rich and yummy. And the cakes in that bakery came with fruit or without fruit. And the best fruit to go with this cake is the tart Mr.Kiwi

The cake tastes so complex that I never thought I could make it at home. But it is soooo simple to make. I wish I knew it earlier :)

Make the cake according to the package directions and let it cool for 5 minutes. Take a fork and make holes in it. Mix the milks well and add it to the cake slowly so that it can soak the liquids. Let it soak at least an hour before serving. Make it milk mixture again the after 2 hours and add this to the cake to make it soak better if the cake looks dry. Serve and enjoy a delicious cool piece of cake!
