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,…

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…

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…

A basic vanilla cheesecake should be part of every kitchen/cookbook. I have my favorite basic cheesecake and use it quite often. I had the idea to combine the subtle vanilla flavor with the coffee flavor, that’s how Vanilla Cheesecake with Espresso Mousse was created. The vanilla baked cheesecake is incredibly creamy and full of vanilla. It’s not dry like basic…

I haven’t baked anything chocolate in a long time, so I was craving a decent amount of chocolate. Since lockdown is slowly coming to the end and I’m starting to go to work relatively normally now, I thought of something “bag-friendly” and something that would be enough for my colleagues too. In the end, Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies won me…

Who wouldn’t love pistachios? I’ve been meaning to make a pistachio cheesecake for a while and when I found pistachio paste, I didn’t think twice. The one I used isn’t a “paste” in the traditional sense, as it’s not that thick, but rather it has thinner, yogurt-like consistency (I used a paste from Fun Cakes, in case anyone would like…

The recipe where you can use half a can of coconut milk was added to the blog before Easter. Since the other half needs to be used up somewhere too, I made Coconut Tangerine Torte. It is a cake made with a coconut cake batter and coconut tangerine filling. The cake batter is a variation of the traditional sponge…

Easter is around the corner and I was in the mood for some “festive” cake. In the end, I made Speckled Easter Egg Vanilla White Chocolate Cake. It consists of a soft vanilla cake, white chocolate, mascarpone and heavy cream filling and is decorated with Easter eggs. Even though it is a cake, it really isn’t complicated as all the cake…

I was thinking about this combination of raspberries and coconut for a long time. I knew the coconut mousse was so good that I would use it in somewhere else too. Coconut Mousse Raspberry Tart consists of crispy coconut dough, raspberry jelly and coconut mousse. It’s my invention, where I combined the raspberry jelly layer from the recipe for Raspberry…

I don’t think the combination of chocolate and orange needs to be introduced. I’ve been wanting to make this cheesecake for a long time, it’s so simple and this combination is always a hit. Baked Chocolate Orange Cheesecake is full of chocolate, it is present in three layers and it is matched with a soft orange layer. Cheesecake is baked,…

Valentine’s Day or not, you can treat yourself with a pink dessert all the time. It was Valentine´s Day that inspired me, I wanted to create some pink dessert. Whether you celebrate it or not, this pink dessert always looks cute. Red Velvet Raspberry Mousse Cake consists of a soft red velvet (red or pink, depending on the amount of…

Sometimes one is not in a mood for baking and traditional sheet cakes are too ordinary. Something simple but also something that will intrigue your guests is needed. For example, chocolate mousse – it is easy to make and you just have to wait a couple minutes for the chocolate to cool down, otherwise it’s a quick dessert. Hazelnut Chocolate…

After Christmas, I wanted a piece of summer, namely some summer fruit. Raspberries take a lot of space in my freezer so some of them are used in a cheesecake. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this cheesecake, I used the frozen ones. Since they slightly melt down during baking anyway, it would be a shame to use…

At this time of the year, there are probably two types of people – those who still have some sweets left from the holidays and those who are already baking again. If you belong to the second group and you are looking for an inspiration, what about Chocolate Mascarpone Hazelnut Cake. The cake is very creamy thanks to mascarpone, full…

I think that no-bake truffles of any kind are a traditional part of the Christmas table. I try to vary them almost every year since there are so many possibilities. I’m a chocoholic with all my heart so I can´t imagine Christmas without at least one chocolate dessert. This time, I used chocolate in chocolate truffles, then I added gingerbread spice…

What kind of Christmas it would be without traditional Linzer Cookies on the table? Since the recipe for traditional Linzer cookies, just filled with salted caramel, is already on the blog, I decided to change them a bit and add lemon zest into regular dough. I also wanted soft lemon filling so I chose lemon curd. This way, Lemon Linzer…

Although it is not December yet, but a new recipe on the blog is added only once every two weeks, why not start already with ideas for Christmas baking. I bet some of you are already thinking about the right cookies for the Christmas table. And you can easily bake “not filled cookies” in advance and they will be still…

Have you heard about churros? If you’ve been to a food festival before, I bet you do, because they are quite popular there. Fried “beignets” made with the dough similar to choux pastry, rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate are just yummy. And that says someone who doesn’t even like fried things. These Churros with Homemade Chocolate Sauce…
