The plum season is slowly coming to an end, but you still have some time to make a cake. After plum jam and plum chutney, I finally got to a cake. As you probably know, me and sour dough don’t really go together, so every year I think of a new plum cake that isn’t just a traditional sourdough plum…

What would Christmas be without Linzer cookies. However, rather than the traditional “ordinary” version with jam, I like variations of them. There’s already Lemon Linzer with Lemon Curd on the blog that’s been quite popular, so I figured it was about time for a new variation. Cocoa Linzer Cookies with Orange Ganache consist of soft cocoa dough and ganache made…

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 half of can of coconut milk went into coconut mousse two weeks ago and the other half went here, into a cheesecake. And not just some cheesecake, but No-bake Raffaello Cheesecake. I´m sure you have already tasted Raffaello so you know it is made with creamy coconut filling, crispy wafer and an almond. All these three ingredients are present…

Plums are already falling from trees so something needs to be done with them. For example, this Plum Almond Crumble Tart. It is made with kneaded dough with cinnamon, fresh plums and sprinkled with crumble, which is not ordinary since it composes almond flakes. Firstly, you bake the dough in the oven for a couple minutes so it is lightly…

I don´t have my own apricots this year, they all fell from the tree or the tree had some infection, I don´t know. At least there is still someone who is willing to give a few of them to me or I can buy them on a market. I was thinking what to do with them and I eventually made…

Easter is almost here as well as the time when we think what to bake. If you don´t have time for long-preparation cakes, this Easter Pink Raspberry Tart is right for you. It is made with traditional kneaded dough, jam, mascarpone whipped cream layer and chocolate Easter eggs. Besides its simplicity and quickness of its preparation, it has another advantage…

There are plenty of apples this year (like plenty of everything) so I was thinking what to do with them. By the way, does anyone want apples? It is a pity that they can´t be stored in the same shape, without freezing or making a compote, until winter. Anyway, I wanted to use them as many as possible, but a…

Mass hysteria named Christmas is heading to us from all directions. I let it be for this week, but from the next one I´ll spam with Christmas recipes too. But first things first, today I prepared Almond Brittle Cake with Whipped Cream. I think this dessert is perfect for festive occasions and definitely don´t try to eat it without a…

Not chocolate, but coconut obsession now. I wanted to remind me summer and what´s more summer than beach, heat and combination of pineapple and coconut. So I made Pineapple Coconut Bars. These bars are really juicy, filling is something what I think resembles to brownies, it can´t overbake, otherwise it will be dry. Pineapple filling is covered from the bottom…

Cherry season is almost over and I realized that I haven´t made anything with cherries. So I was waiting and waiting until these five and half cherries is finally ripe and suddenly they´re too ripe, half of them fell off the tree, so bye-bye my plans. Originally I wanted to make two desserts using cherries, but I had enough of…

Yes, I caught this Christmas mood as well. Although it´s a bit late comparing to other food bloggers, I´m going to publish a few Christmas recipes as well. The first one is a recipe for traditional linzer cookies done a bit unusually, filled with salted caramel instead of jam. As I already said, salted caramel is my new favorite ingredient.…
