This cardamom chocolate cake is rich, fragrant, and irresistibly moist. Everything you want from a cozy afternoon bake.

When the Sinterklaas season arrives in the Netherlands, there’s one treat that instantly fills every kitchen with that cozy holiday aroma: pepernoten. Or, to be a little more accurate, kruidnoten! These tiny, crunchy spiced cookies are made with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Completely irresistible!
The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can have a tray of freshly baked pepernoten ready in under 30 minutes. And because they’re so quick and fun to bake, this is also a great recipe to make with kids.
Quince cake

Quince Cake Recipe

Total time 1 hour
Quince is one of those fruits that doesn’t look very inviting at first, but once you cook it, it completely wins you over. When stewed, quince turns soft, fragrant, and gently sweet, perfect for baking. In this quince cake, I pair the fruit with warm spices, almond flour, and fresh orange zest for a cake that’s rich, moist, and full of autumn flavor. It’s a wonderful way to use up a bounty of quinces and a recipe that feels just as comforting with a cup of coffee as it does served with whipped cream for dessert.
