Cake rolls may seem difficult, but I think the biggest problem is not to crack them when rolling. If you master that, and it should be easy with good batter, you will get a good-looking cake that you can fill with various fillings. Since I needed to use up fall harvest, I made Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling.…

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 continue in the trend of “small” cakes with this dessert. Pear Cream Cheese Cake Bars are kind of a canapé, as you probably eat these nine pieces right away. They are special by adding cream cheese into batter, so batter is soft and creamy. Not soft like a sponge cake, with its density, it resembles more to a brownie,…

Cold mornings suggest that whether we want or not, fall is almost here. Then, there are also apples falling from the trees daily so I turned them into Flourless Chocolate Apple Cake. It’s a simple cake with dark chocolate in batter, hazelnuts instead of flour and a few apples on top. Only nine pieces are cut from this cake, so…

I obtained some blueberries and wondered what to do with them. I really like the bold purple color of blueberry and blackberry desserts, so it must have been something that bold. The choice fell on the combination of white chocolate, cheesecake, mousse and blueberries. White Chocolate Blueberry Mousse Cheesecake consists of two parts – a no-bake creamy white chocolate cheesecake…

There are many raspberries in my garden, even though I tossed away a lot of them in the spring and I thought there won´t be much of them. But they quickly recovered and no one would say more than half of them was gone in the spring. So they went into a cheesecake right away, if it can be called…

Cherry season is almost over, but perhaps you can still manage to make this Cherry Brownie Cheesecake. It combines the best of both desserts – a fudgy chocolate brownie and a creamy cheesecake version. Add fresh juicy cherries and you will get a delicious summer dessert. I’ve had a lot of work for the last few days, I’ve had the…

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 had some mascarpone in my fridge and I was in a mood for tiramisu, but since I already made traditional tiramisu and tiramisu cheesecake, I wanted something different. Therefore, tiramisu cookies were created – cookies with a subtle coffee flavor filled with mascarpone filling. Cookies are made with traditional ingredients such as flour, butter, sugar, plus instant coffee and…

I think the most popular baked products during quarantine is homemade bread. But when it comes to desserts, many people were into “choux au craquelin”. What is it exactly? Choux pastry is in this case baked into a shape of small balls. Craquelin is crunchy “dough” on top of balls that cracks during baking, hence the name craquelin (from French…

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…

I discovered a can of coconut milk in my home and I made two desserts. Since to use 400 ml of coconut milk is at once quite difficult, I firstly used the half of a can and made coconut mousse. Add chocolate mousse, ganache and ladyfingers, and Chocolate Coconut Mousse Charlotte is made. Charlotte is a general name for a…

I guess this year´s Easter will be a little bit different then we´re used to, but I believe there still will be some cake on your table. I don´t know why but when I think about Easter, carrot and carrot desserts come to my mind. This year, I made Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Whoopie Pies. They are like a hybrid…

Cupcakes represent various possibilities of batter and icing combinations. If you add oreo cookies, I bet no one will say “no” to them. These Oreo Cupcakes with Mascarpone Icing were a huge hit. Batter is a bit different since you need only egg whites, no egg yolks, then you also need sour cream and oreos. But I guarantee that this…

Banoffee pie is a well-known dessert, made with no-bake biscuit crust, filling made from cooked sweetened condensed milk, fresh bananas and whipped heavy cream. It is a simple not time-consuming tart or pie, the longest it takes to cook condensed milk. Thanks to condensed milk and bananas, it is delicious and sweet so there is no need to add sugar…

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…

It´s been a long time since I made something with coffee and this “no-fruit” winter period is perfect for non-seasonal recipes. I think coffee should be combined with chocolate so I made Chocolate Espresso Tart. It is made with traditional cocoa kneaded dough, dark chocolate filling and fluffy espresso coffee filling. Chocolate filling is actually the variation of traditional chocolate…
