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…

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…
