After Easter, I wanted to make something quick and small. The blog is full of brownies variations, but not a single recipe for blondies, so that needs to be fixed. If you haven’t heard of them, blondies are the “sisters” of brownies. They are very similar in consistency, consisting of a thicker creamier batter. However, the main difference is that blondies…

The approaching Easter and the coming spring in general can’t be without some carrot cake. This time I incorporated the carrots into the normal cake, not the sheet cake. Such a cake looks more festive and is also suitable for an Easter table. Carrot Cake with Mascarpone Filling consists of a fluffy carrot cake and soft filling with mascarpone and…

Who wouldn’t know Snickers. I decided to make a homemade version of them, in the shape of a tart, just without the marshmallow layer. My Snickers tart consists of a traditional vanilla dough, a sweet caramel layer, a layer of salted peanuts, and chocolate with the addition of peanut butter. I reached for the traditional “sweet” caramel, not the salted…

After a long time (who would be surprised when all this is happening) I add a new recipe. I thought of combining two traditional desserts, namely muffins and cheesecake. Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins consist of fluffy cocoa batter with chocolate chunks and vanilla cheesecake filling. These muffins are great if you can’t decide whether you want a cake or cheesecake. I’ve…

I found some cream cheese in a fridge that needed to be used up, so I wanted something really cream cheese-like. I make a light creamy filling, added a good dose of chocolate and Brownie Cream Cheese Cake was born. It consists of a brownie bottom, a creamy cream cheese filling and dark chocolate ganache. Brownie batter is already such…

Chocolate and peanuts is probably a less traditional combination, but it matches great together. Namely, I opted for Peanut Butter Cheesecake-Stuffed Chocolate Loaf Cake. It features a soft chocolate sponge cake batter and a delicious peanut butter filling in the center of the loaf cake. This loaf cake is great when you can’t decide if you want some cake, like…

If you’ve already run out of Christmas cookies, it’s time for a new dessert. January calls for something simple and fresh, in my case it’s citrus. I’m sure you’ve heard of a French lemon tart, but I decided to give it a twist – I used blood oranges instead of lemons and omitted the meringue altogether. Blood Orange Tart consists…

Just a month and it’s here. If you’re already looking for new recipes for Christmas, a recipe for cookies might come in handy. After all, there’s never enough cookies for Christmas and you can make them ahead of time. These Marble Vanilla Cocoa Cookies are simple, easy to make, with a small amount of ingredients, and the immortal combination of…

I still have a brownies series this week. Who wouldn´t love them since they are quick and full of chocolate? And, for me, chocolate combined with coconut is just delicious. However, it must be well-balanced sweet, unsweetened combination. Brownies with Coconut Mousse are just such a combination. A great deal of sweet chocolate and a soft, fluffy mousse with a tropical…

Pumpkin and October is simply an inseparable combination. Plus, as October is almost over, I’m getting a Halloween vibe, so I was in the mood for a black and orange combination. Dark Cocoa Pumpkin Brownie Cheesecake combines a delicious brownie full of chocolate and a creamy fall cheesecake. The crunchy brownie and the creamy cheesecake could also be considered as…

The end of fall is approaching and with it the last opportunity to use the fall fruits. I only had a few pears this year, but you only need four for them for Vanilla Cinnamon Pear Muffins with Hazelnut Crumble. The muffins are beautifully fluffy and soft thanks to the buttermilk. The combination of vanilla and fall spices like cinnamon,…

In supermarkets or in McDonalds, you must have seen a round cake that is full of apple filling and drizzled with caramel. I loved it so much that I just had to make it at home. After all, homemade is always better than some oven-ready cake. Plus, you will use up a kilo of apples in this cake, which is…

I had lots of plums this year, but by the time I got to make a cake and post it on the blog, I was running low on them. Hopefully you still have some left on a tree and you can make Plum and Vanilla Custard Tart with them. The combination of plums and vanilla isn’t that common, but that’s…

Blueberry season is here so I wanted to take advantage of their bold purple color. I use wild blueberries in my desserts, they have a deep purple color so desserts have a lovely bold color too. Some of you have texted me that your blueberry desserts ended up with a bland brown color and not the purple one. The reason…

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…
