5 Cakes Ready in 5 Minutes

The 5-Minute Jam Cake is a soft dessert that wins you over with spoonfuls of raspberry jam scattered over the surface: as it bakes, they blend into the batter, adding a fruity, slightly tart note. Yogurt and vegetable oil are part of a lighter, butter-free preparation to serve for breakfast or as a snack, alongside a cup of milk or tea. And to change up the flavor, you can choose a different jam each time.

The 5-minute lemon cake is a soft, fragrant dessert that brings the flavor of lemon from breakfast to snack time. The oat-based plant milk lets you make it lactose-free, with just a few ingredients and barely five minutes spent on the batter before baking it in the oven. If you want to serve it at the end of a meal, you can pair each slice with cream or custard: a small touch to turn it into a dessert to savor slowly.

The 5-minute coconut and blueberry cake is a soft, moist dessert where shredded coconut meets the fresh, delicate flavor of blueberries. Coconut oil makes the tropical aroma even more intense and tempts you to carve out a break, whether for breakfast or as a snack. To prepare the batter, all you need is a bowl and a hand whisk, with no need to whip the ingredients: just a few simple steps, then you can leave the rest to the oven.

The 5-minute yogurt and cocoa cake is a soft dessert that can go from breakfast all the way to an after-dinner treat: just serve a slice with whipped cream or a scoop of gelato. In the butter-free batter, the yogurt and extra virgin olive oil contribute to its softness and aroma. You can prepare it in just a few steps when you’re craving a homemade cocoa cake but have little time to spend in the kitchen.

The 5-minute cake is a dessert with an incredibly soft texture and an inviting aroma. The name speaks to how quick it is to prepare: once it was mixed by hand, today you can leave the ingredients to a food processor and then let the oven do the work. What’s left is the pleasure of enjoying a slice at your leisure, for breakfast or as a snack, or serving it to guests even on your busiest days.
