What would Christmas be without Linzer cookies. However, rather than the traditional “ordinary” version with jam, I like variations of them. There’s already Lemon Linzer with Lemon Curd on the blog that’s been quite popular, so I figured it was about time for a new variation. Cocoa Linzer Cookies with Orange Ganache consist of soft cocoa dough and ganache made…

After all, there’s never enough cookies for Christmas and you can make them ahead of time.

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…

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,…
