Christmas and Christmas cookies are inevitably over, so it’s time for a new recipe. After all the cookies I wanted something creamy, fruity and chocolatey. I found some sour cherries in the pantry and got the idea for a four-layer tart. Sour Cherry Mascarpone Chocolate Tart combines everything one could want – cocoa tart shell, a jelly sour cherry layer,…

I found some time for a blog again after a long hiatus and since it’s the season, I made something with fresh cherries. I wanted to create something creamy, with a cake batter and a milky flavor. I took a milk-slice as a model, but I wanted to make it fresh and summery. Black Forest Cake Sandwich Bars are such…

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…

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…

Many people are not in the mood for difficult desserts during January so I decided to make simple Yogurt Cream Cherry Parfaits. They are made with two layers, the cherry layer is actually just frozen cherries (you can use the fresh ones if you want to, but add more water) with water and cornstarch. The second layer is made with…

The combination of cocoa cake, whipped cream and sour cream is generally known as “Black Forest”. My version, since I already have a cake on the blog, is Black Forest Cake Roll – cocoa cake roll with mascarpone and sour cherry filling. It is made with soft cocoa cake. The original recipe is inspired by a French dessert – Buche…

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…

Chocolate and cherries. I opened my freezer and cherries were staring at me. I was craving for something with chocolate and cherries, and mostly, for a big amount of cake. I was firstly thinking of Black Forest bars with heavy cream on the top, but then I thought that they don´t contain enough chocolate. Therefore, I replaced heavy cream with…

Although it is just November, my freezer is full of summer fruit, so it would be about time to use it. The first one to use up was cherries from summer. Of course, you can use fresh cherries instead of the frozen ones, you will just need to use more water. I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake for a…

My cherries were not ripe yet during this week so I was thinking about a cake which didn´t require a lot of cherries. Eventually, I made Chocolate Cherry Truffles. Just to make it clear, truffles, or truffle balls, have recently become popular and you can find them in stores. But why should you buy them since they are so simple…

Cherry season is almost over and I realized that I haven´t made anything with cherries. So I was waiting and waiting until these five and half cherries is finally ripe and suddenly they´re too ripe, half of them fell off the tree, so bye-bye my plans. Originally I wanted to make two desserts using cherries, but I had enough of…

I did this recipe one week ago, when the season of cherries was on. Now, there isn´t much of them, so this recipe will probably be more useful next year, but never mind. I´m known to love cakes with chocolate or chocolate plus something extra. These chocolate muffins with cherries are very good for summer, because you don´t have to…

Clafoutis is a traditional French recipe, basically it´s an alternative to Slovak cake called “bublanina”. Although in “bublanina”, we use a sponge cake, in clafoutis the cake is different, I could say creamy. That´s the reason why I wanted to try it out. And when is better time for that if not now, during the period of cherries? (more…)
