Accidental Nectarine Buttermilk Cake
I know one of my latest posts was a cake recipe, but what better to celebrate than with something sweet? What do we celebrate you may ask? As it happens, this is my 101st post! I somehow missed the milestone when I posted the meatballs in beer sauce, but wordpress did not forget. So I…

Simple apple tart
You know, there are times when I like to bake cakes, just because. Not that I need any extra motivation, or sugar, or even event. It is just for fun or to try something new. Sometimes that would also be a good opportunity to use up some wrinkled apples or other fruit that does not…

Easy cherry and almond sheet cake
You know, as much as I’d like it to be true, baking is not my forte. I mean, there are times when everything goes perfect and you bake the cake you wanted all along. Other times the reality kicks in, proving that, well, a little bit more practice is needed. And nothing wrong with that.…

Chocolate cheesecake
Do you also have days when everything what can go wrong, just goes wrong? For me this could be a perfect summary of last week. It has been so frustrating. Not even cooking helped, since even that turned out far from how it’s supposed to look like. But thank heaven for the weekend, as my…

Rum banana bread
The next recipe is a must for every banana enthusiast. I mentioned before that my company provides fresh fruits for its employees, but as it happens, from time to time, some of it gets left over. I don’t like throwing food away, so most of the times I take it with me and turn it…

Poppy seed cake with pudding cream
I have showed you an idea for a festive Christmas dinner, and today I’m going one step further, to show you something for the dessert. In my family, since I can remember, we used one ingredient which had to be included in all, or at least most, sweet things during Christmas. It’s poppy seeds.

Easy and simple walnut christmas cookies
Do you know it’s 4 weeks until christmas? Time flies, I tell you that. In September I was a little bit annoyed seeing all the christmas decoration on the shop shelves, as I thought it was too early. But now, end of November, I’d say it’s about time to start baking gingerbread cookies. I, traditionally…

Cream cheese brownies and other stories
I’ve been meaning to bake brownies for some time now. And this week offers perfect opportunity to do so, since we have two days off during the week, Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m not as lucky as most of my colleagues to have holidays the whole week, and working on Monday felt like in a post…

Raspberries and white chocolate cake
You know, in my family there is this unspoken rule, that there has to be a cake, or some other pastry after dinner. It’s normally on Sunday around 3-4pm, where we all would gather with a coffee and a piece of something sweet and just chat. Whenever we visit our relatives we become very aware…

Easy to make ice cream- Rum & Rasins flavour
I remember, when I was a kid, my mum used to make ice cream. I can’t say if she used any ready made mix, but I remember she used lots of milk and a hand mixer. Sometimes she would let me do the work after she prepared all the ingredients. It tasted very milky (obviously).…
