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). […]
Banana cake with cherries – May is definitely a month with the most days off. If planned carefully, and if the weather plays along, you can feel like you hit the jackpot. One of the good things about my company is the fact that we have new fruits delivered every week. But with so many days off, and people taking […]
Christmas muffins – When do you start getting into the Christmas mood? Is there anything special that makes you feel like Christmas?
Little ricotta cakes – I didn’t plan on baking these days. I wanted to sort out my closet and our balcony also needed some tending. But it just happened. One thought led to another, and it just couldn’t get out of my head.
Simply tiramisu – I don’t know about you, but I’m a sweet addict. Maybe not all the time, but when I do, there is nothing which stands in the way between me and a cake or a bar of chocolate. The Germans have a perfect word for such people as me, Naschkatze, which means a cat loving to […]
The only carrot cake recipe you’ll ever need! – Few days ago I posted a picture of crocuses on instagram. You know, they looked so lovely and the Spring is coming so why not? In Spring even the air is different. But the very next day I woke up to find the world covered in snow again. Luckily for me, I’m one of those […]
Chocolate cake – I don’t bake cakes very often. Somehow I got it in my mind that it’s not really my strength. I think it happened after I tried one yogurth cake which, after endless attempts, was still far from being well baked. Well, we all meet our nemesis one day, right? But contrary to that yogurth cake, […]
Christmas gift ideas from the kitchen – It’s about week before christmas. It’s the highest time to be ready with christmas cards and presents, if you want to avoid the christmas rush in shops. But I know from experience that the question what to get someone can be difficult. But have you tried giving someone something self made?
First christmas cookies! – So the christmas spirit got also to me. Boxes with christmas decoration are already brought from the basement, I saw first christmas movie this year and the appartment also slowly looks more festive. Admittedly we stil hunt for the perfect tree, but that also should be solved soon.
Cream puffs! – When I was little, my parents used to take me and my siblings to a little bakery on the outskirts of the city to buy sweets. Usually donuts and cream puffs. It was like little Christmas, no matter the season. It was a small family run bakery, behind the house, and mostly open from the […]
Pumpkin pudding! – I know, I know, Halloween is admittedly behind. It’s over a week now, but if you still have some pumpkin flesh or purre left from the carving, and don’t really know what to do with it, then this recipie is perfect for you! Well, if you don’t, but you want to try something else than […]
