Vanilla Speculoos Salted Caramel Cheesecake could be nowadays considered as a popular dessert; therefore it can´t be missed on this blog either. A subtle vanilla taste of the basic cheesecake, the sweetness and saltiness of caramel is a great combination, no wonder it is so popular. You can find many recipes for this cheesecake on Internet, but this is mine,…

The apple season continues and if you´re not in the mood for anything complicated or time-consuming, the best cakes are those in which you mix everything together, without any long preparation, you just pour it in a baking pan, bake it and this is it. Such a simple cake is also this Quick Apple Cocoa Bundt Cake. You don´t need…

It got a bit cold so I already collected all the fruits from my garden, just to be sure. I collected pears as well and it would be shame not to use them. I decided to make Pear Speculoos Tart. If you ever tried Lotus or Speculoos cookies you know that they have a pleasant caramel and spicy taste. This…

I already did a post with pears; therefore, apples are next. I´m not in the mood for anything lately so I prefer simple and quick cakes with not much of ingredients. All these three criteria are present in the cake which even has the adjective “simple” in its name – Simple Creamy Apple Cake. You need only a few ingredients…

Plums are already falling from trees so something needs to be done with them. For example, this Plum Almond Crumble Tart. It is made with kneaded dough with cinnamon, fresh plums and sprinkled with crumble, which is not ordinary since it composes almond flakes. Firstly, you bake the dough in the oven for a couple minutes so it is lightly…

I don´t have as many pears as I usually did previous years, but I managed to find a few for a cake. I wanted to try Chocolate Pear Bread last year, but you need firm, not soft pears so I had to wait until this year. This Chocolate Pear Bread is really simple, quick and you don´t need any special…

Although it is only the end of the August, pumpkin is almost ripe so no need to wait until the fall, you can use it right away. I don´t really like pumpkin sauce, but pumpkin in a cake, that is something else. You can try, for example, these Simple Pumpkin Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting. When it comes to…

As the garden slowly turns into a fall mode (apples, pears and plums ripen), it was about time to use up a few raspberries that remained. I saw a photo of a beautiful mille feuille on the Internet, so I got into it right away. Mille feuille is originally a French dessert, literally translated as “a thousand leaves”, a metaphor…

I didn´t even notice and currant season is almost over. Not that I wanted to make some jam or what, but I wanted to make at least one cake. I managed to make Red Currant White Chocolate Cheesecake. Since I think red currants are too sour, I wanted to combine them with something really sweet and white chocolate is a…

Blackberry season is on and maybe you were also wondering what kind of a cake to make with them, but besides a traditional bundt cake, pound cake and muffins, you didn´t get any other idea. I always get this block with blackberries, but mostly with currants and gooseberries. Therefore, when I saw a recipe for Blackberry Coconut Tart in a…

I wanted to pick up some blueberries two weeks ago but, of course, there weren´t any. I bought them now and managed to save up some for winter. Lemon is a great match to blueberries, it is clear from other recipes on my blog since the lemon blueberry combination is present in about three recipes. It is their season now…

I don´t have my own apricots this year, they all fell from the tree or the tree had some infection, I don´t know. At least there is still someone who is willing to give a few of them to me or I can buy them on a market. I was thinking what to do with them and I eventually made…

Raspberries are finally here. I´m excited about it since there is no better combination than raspberries and chocolate. However, I chose to leave out chocolate this time. I´ve been thinking about the bold red color of red velvet cake for a while and it came to me to combine it with raspberries. There was finally the time for fresh raspberries,…

Lavender is in hurry this year so I had to use it sooner than I´m used to. Besides lavender syrup and dried lavender for winter, I made No-bake Lavender Chocolate Cups. They are made with dark chocolate cups and whipped cream, cream cheese and lavender filling. Filling is inspired by a traditional chocolate whipped cream, where you add chocolate into…

Cherry season is almost finished so I prepared the last cherry recipe for this year. Specifically, it is Cherry Vanilla Chocolate Cheesecake. Although this triple combination may seem like too much, it is not true at all. Vanilla because it is traditional, regular and basic cheesecake, only with the addition of fresh cherries in the cheesecake. It is made with…

Cherries are already here, I don´t even know since when. I looked at a cherry tree a couple days ago and thought they would be ripe not sooner than at the beginning of July, but they managed to do it earlier. I generally think everything gets ripe sooner this year and I don´t know what to use up earlier. Peaches…

Strawberries are everywhere, I collected almost two full bowls of strawberries yesterday from my garden so the part of them immediately went into a cake. And since it is scorching hot and I prefer nice cold desserts in this weather, I decided for the combination of cocoa sponge cake with cheesecake filling and chopped strawberries. I cut the cake into…

I passed my last state exam so I have a master’s degree. I finally have some time to bake, which really pleases me. The only thing left to do is to find a good job, easy-peasy right? 😀 Since strawberry season is on, I told myself that Ombré Strawberry Yogurt Panna Cotta would be the right refreshment for this hot…
