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…

I sometimes crave a nice basic “sponge” cake, which is delicious and doesn’t even require long preparation. Such as a bublanina (traditional Slovak sponge cake with cherries) is already a part of every Slovak household. Similar to this cake, I made Cocoa and Vanilla Marble Cake with Cherries which contains cocoa and vanilla layers from one batter and fresh cherries. Since…

The pumpkin season is here and in addition to the traditional Hokkaido soup, which is simply a part of the fall, you can also use pumpkin in cakes. For example, this Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread is soft, creamy, suitable as a breakfast or as a dessert and is just full of fall flavor. The bread consists of a fluffy “sponge”…

I don´t have as many pears as I usually did previous years, but I managed to find a few for a cake. I wanted to try Chocolate Pear Bread last year, but you need firm, not soft pears so I had to wait until this year. This Chocolate Pear Bread is really simple, quick and you don´t need any special…

I wanted to pick up some blueberries two weeks ago but, of course, there weren´t any. I bought them now and managed to save up some for winter. Lemon is a great match to blueberries, it is clear from other recipes on my blog since the lemon blueberry combination is present in about three recipes. It is their season now…

I was again in the mood for non-creamy cake and for some hazelnuts at the same time. I was thinking about what I should make since nuts usually go into batter, then there is some filling, mostly made with hazelnut spread, but I didn´t want to use any spread. In the end, I chose to make Chocolate Hazelnut Bread, since…

I´m opening a raspberry season on the blog with a traditional Raspberry Chocolate Banana Bread. It is traditional because this recipe is the universal one, you basically can add anything to it, substitute raspberries with any seasonal fruit, use nuts instead of chocolate and so on. Another reason is that I made it so many times that the recipe is…

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…

So I´m back in school again. I realized that I have a need to eat something sweet every day. I´m starting to think that I´m addicted to sweets. Please, tell me I´m not the only one. Since I´m in school and creamy cakes are not really good in a purse, I mostly bake drier sweets, suitable also for school. After…

2 state exams are over, 2 more left, so what´s the best for recharging energy? Chocolate! I was really craving for it. Two chocolate loaf contains double amount of chocolate, white and dark chocolate and if it´s still not enough it´s poured with dark chocolate ganache. Besides its unbelievably great taste, after 20 minutes of preparing it is ready to…

Banana bread is one of the alternative when you don´t want to bake during the half of the day. It is easily done, only time in the oven is a bit long. This version is a bit winter-y, without addition of seasonal fruit. All you need is just chocolate (of course) and one package of hazelnuts. Yogurt in this bread…

This recipe is simple and quick to bake, plus it´s another way how to use season fruit. Although I like the best combination of raspberries and chocolate, raspberries and coconut aren´t bad either. In summer, maybe they´re even better and lighter than combination with chocolate. Plus, bread doesn´t have frosting, so it won´t go off any time soon and there´s…

Strawberries are a symbol of summer for me and although I don´t grow them at home, the few pieces are worth to buy (at least for a cake :D). I wanted something that would last a long journey in train, so a creamy cake was out of option. After all, a strawberry-banana bread came out as a winner of this…
