The red berries are slowly ripening, but not fast enough for me to make a cake with just one kind. Therefore, I figured I’d mix the remaining strawberries and ripening raspberries and red currants. I was in the mood for something colorful, chocolatey yet fruity and soft. Brownie Red Berry Vanilla Torte has it all. It contains three colorful layers,…

This year, although a bit late, it´s already a strawberry season for me. I combined them, unconventionally, with another seasonal product, namely elderflower syrup. Since I already have elderflowers in my garden, it would be a shame not to use them. The combination of sweet elderflower syrup and fresh strawberries is perfectly suited to this time of year. Strawberry Elderflower…

The last few strawberries were left in my garden, so I need to make something with only a small amount of strawberries/filling. Since I like cream horns, but the traditional Slovak version is made with too sweet egg white filling which I don´t like, I made my version of cream horns. I used whipped cream, mint and fresh strawberries instead…

This year’s strawberry season is a bit late, but I finally have strawberries, so I can bake. Strawberries create a great combination with white chocolate, both in taste and visually, therefore I made Strawberry White Chocolate Tart. The tart is interesting in color – as it contains brown, white and red color – and in taste thanks to the combination…

I opened my freezer and found strawberries. It´s been a long time since I wanted to make cream cheese dessert, but I generally find cream cheese too dry, so I decided to add fruit, strawberries to be more specific. This way, Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake was born. It is made with fluffy sponge cake, strawberry layer, cream cheese layer and…

Strawberries are everywhere, I collected almost two full bowls of strawberries yesterday from my garden so the part of them immediately went into a cake. And since it is scorching hot and I prefer nice cold desserts in this weather, I decided for the combination of cocoa sponge cake with cheesecake filling and chopped strawberries. I cut the cake into…

I passed my last state exam so I have a master’s degree. I finally have some time to bake, which really pleases me. The only thing left to do is to find a good job, easy-peasy right? 😀 Since strawberry season is on, I told myself that Ombré Strawberry Yogurt Panna Cotta would be the right refreshment for this hot…

I still don´t have strawberries in my garden, but they were on sale in supermarkets so I bought a few boxes, specifically a kilo and half. But surprise, surprise – they even didn´t last four days, so I had to throw away most of them because they went mouldy. Well, what a quality. I planned to make a cake, where…

I wanted to make layered parfaits for a long time, parfaits which would contain a layer of strawberries and some white layer. I´ve been deciding between a white chocolate and whipped cream layer or a cream cheese and whipped cream layer – cream cheese and whipped cream won since I wanted a lighter, fluffier cheesecake filling. When it comes to…

Valentine´s Day is coming, let´s have a romantic dinner – I would never say that. I think that Valentine´s Day is too commercial, which is no good to anyone, maybe only to those who sell red and romantic stuff. However, it is also a great reason to use something pink or red in a cake, I agree with that. You…

Strawberry obsession continues and although their season is almost over you still have some time to make this Chocolate Loaf Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling. Although cherries are not ripe here yet, I´m really happy for these strawberries because they are my first home grown strawberries. Until now, I always had to buy them. Although there isn´t much of…

Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries everywhere. In my case, strawberries and tartlets. I kind of have tartlet obsession so second recipe in row is for tartlets, specifically for Strawberry Cream Cheese Tartlets. If you remember last year No-bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cups which were so popular, this is exactly the same filling. Cream cheese with sour cream and whipping cream tastes really…

Strawberry and rhubarb season is here so I decided to make something from them. I consider rhubarb to be too sour so there is not a chance I would do just a rhubarb cake, I had to combine it with strawberries. I also don´t like those “threads” in rhubarb so I used an immersion blender, a problem solved. Of course,…

Such a long title, but such a simple cake. You may have noticed that I´m not into making cakes. All this decoration, smoothing, uff. I would rather make 5 tarts than 1 round layered cake. However, I dealt with this my way and made a cake where you don´t have to smooth or even out anything. Not because of some…

Although I said that I have time for time-consuming desserts during summer, a person isn´t always in mood for a half of the day spent in kitchen, especially in this hot weather. Even though smoothie can´t be considered a dessert, I don´t consider it for a one for sure, it is perfect in summer, a true refreshment. Moreover, in summer…

I finally managed to get some this year strawberries. Although their season is almost over, better late than never. Of course, I had to use them in the dessert, which contains really a great number of them, over 700 g. This amount of strawberries is present in this strawberry brownie cheesecake torte. It´s not actually a torte, but I think it…

Some time ago, I was going through my freezer and found out, that it still contains some summer berries, like these strawberries. So I told myself that it would be shame not to use them, so I made these strawberry cheesecake muffins. Muffins have a surprise inside, a cheesecake filling. I didn´t use a lot o fit, but you can easily double the amount of the…

Weather implies that spring could finally come, so I told myself that I should use up frozen food supplies from summer. Specifically strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, so I created this no-bake berry cheesecake. One of the best things is that you don´t need any artificial food coloring, fillings will get beautiful natural colors thanks to smashed fruit. Another advantage is,…
