Amazing Red Velvet Cake with Coconut Frosting recipe

In a Cretan zacharoplasteion (sweet shop), we were so intrigued by these coconut pastries (among the newer breed) that I tried them at home. You can expect the potato pastry to be a bit difficult to manipulate, and you can also anticipate compliments on the results. Attractive and tasty, not excessively sweet.

Move over banana bread. This banana frosted and glazed German chocolate banana cake recipe steals the show.

A fresh take on the traditional banana bread utilizing the widely-available persimmon – the national fruit of Japan. Persimmons are rich in vitamins A and C, and contain high amounts of manganese, a co-factor for the enzyme superoxide dismutase, for healthy mucous membranes and skin, as well as a known protectant against lung and mouth cancers. They are also an excellent source of fibre and B-complex vitamins.

Full of vibrant, Moroccan flavours, these sweet potato and carrot 'fries' are a quick and delicious way to add a nutritious side to your main meal. Both sweet potatoes and carrots are rich sources of antioxidants. Sweet potatoes also contain manganese, an important mineral for stabilising blood sugar levels.

A basic, but delectable cake made with pecans, coconut and cream cheese.
