Irish Soda Bread is a classic, hearty treat—perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you’re craving something comforting. I don’t usually make doughy desserts, but in the spirit of the holiday, I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised! It’s easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and adds a traditional touch to any meal. Serve it warm with butter and jam for an extra treat.

Last week’s snaps from SLFM night market.
This marks beginning of year 3 of doing dessert things 🧁
Beyond just making sweets (well, except setting up those tents 😂), I’ve genuinely loved the creative journey and engaging with community. So many growth moments, so much learning, and putting myself out there.
Now it’s time for a little breather to enjoy some time in Europe. Back in July for the @chicagoartisanmarket at Fulton Market! 🇪🇺➡️🇺🇸

🌟 Welcome to my Weekend Baking Chronicles 🌟
I love experimenting with new recipes whenever I have time. I feel a little cringe filming and seeing myself 😂 but it’s so cool to step out of your comfort zone, and I’m excited to share it all with you here.
This Tarta de Santiago is absolutely beautiful, and I made it a couple of weeks ago to welcome my parents. It’s an authentic Spanish dessert, and I love that it’s gluten free.
Here’s a quick recipe for you, and I’ll be posting the full version on my website soon!
Tarta de Santiago (Spanish Almond Cake)
Ingredients:
250 g (2½ cups) finely ground almonds
250 g (1¼ cups) granulated sugar
5 large eggs
Zest of 1 lemon
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and thickened.
2. Add lemon zest and cinnamon (if using), and mix.
3. Fold in ground almonds until fully combined.
4. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden.
5. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
6. Optionally, use a St. James cross stencil for decoration!
Enjoy this perfect slice of Spain! 🍰🇪🇸
