Recipes for the most delicious, beautiful and best cakes you can think of, such as sponge, chocolate and cheesecakes or muffins.
What to do when you feel like having a dessert and your oven has just broken down? Nothing is easier, just make a cake without baking 🙂 The base of no baking cakes is usually made from biscuits. They need to be crushed and combined with melted butter. As for the cake creams, I have…
I’ve already presented my recipe for bird’s milk without baking – time for showing you another version, bird’s milk on a sponge cake. This time I did not prepare the bird’s milk mixture and did not fill the sponge cake with it. I made a cream based on whipped cream and mascarpone cheese and I…
Mango is a great fruit. It is suitable for sweet desserts but it is also goes fantastically with meat or in a salad. I recently bought three pieces of mango and all three were quickly munched by me and my beloved. I stuffed chicken breasts with them, and also prepared a mango mousse and a…
When it comes to Christmas cookies, the first thing that pops into my mind is, of course, gingerbread. The basis of every good gingerbread cookie is honey and various spices. Gingerbread cookies can be filled with marmalade, covered with chocolate or decorated with icing. It all depends on what final effect you are going for….
Since last weekend, I noticed that I always have some biscuits hidden somewhere in the cupboard. Something to profit from on a rainy day. This realisation happened after trying to bake a cake with spinach from a recipe I had found on the net – it was supposed to be for the birthday of a…
Cold quark cheese always works for me, be it in a cheesecake or any other type of dessert. Quark cheese is used in both cold and baked cheesecakes. You can also find it in dumplings or pancakes. Due to the fact that I have an intolerance to dairy products, I always opt for cheese without…
Blueberry croissants are one of my favourite kind of rolls with fruits. Even though yeast dough requires a bit of work, it’s worth working on it and make some buns or croissants from time to time. In that period of the year when you have a large selection of plenty of fresh fruits, fruit rolls…
Plums remind me of how my mother was preparing prunes in an antique stove while little me was watching with amazement. The branches of plum trees in our orchard were bent under the weight of the fruits. This type of plum – home plum – was probably one of the most popular then. I do…
Cheesecake is one of those traditional cakes baked in every home from time to time. I go for cheesecakes mainly during the Christmas season. Sometimes, however, I also bake it even when there is no special occasion. What I like the most to me are the various “fancy” cheesecakes, such as fruit, foam, cocoa cake…
We all love ice cream but you can find a lot out there with artificial ingredients. So make some for yourself at home by using only natural ingredients. Maybe the summer is over but we still have some warm days. Ice cream can be great as a dessert by itself or served with some warm…
If you want to make a sweet cake to go with coffee and you want something simple but still delicious, then go for puff pastry-based cakes. Puff pastry from the store shelves is a godsend for many home cooks. You shouldn’t always have to get tired and bake for hours to make a tasty cake….
I remember that when I was a small kid I used to eat rhubarb with sugar. It was a long time ago and at those times when there was almost nothing in the stores, it was one of the sweet desserts. I remember that rhubarb was so sour that it made my mouth twitch. But…
