When I was looking for an inspiration on Pinterest, a picture of a chocolate cake with white filling and ladyfingers dipped in coffee popped out. Therefore, I made my version of Brownie Tiramisu. Traditional brownie cake, which we bake, then apply a little bit of lemon tiramisu filling so the ladyfingers hold better. Then, we add ladyfingers dipped in coffee…

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…

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…

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…

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…

My state exams are on and let me tell you just that I´m in hurry and I don´t have time for anything. I have two state exams left, or 3, since two of them are in the same day, so I study hard. Therefore, let me cut to the chase. If you don´t have time or are not in the…

I still don´t have strawberries in my garden, but they were on sale in supermarkets so I bought a few boxes, specifically a kilo and half. But surprise, surprise – they even didn´t last four days, so I had to throw away most of them because they went mouldy. Well, what a quality. I planned to make a cake, where…

I was again in the mood for non-creamy cake and for some hazelnuts at the same time. I was thinking about what I should make since nuts usually go into batter, then there is some filling, mostly made with hazelnut spread, but I didn´t want to use any spread. In the end, I chose to make Chocolate Hazelnut Bread, since…

You´re suddenly craving something sweet, but you don´t have a lot of time or you´re just not in the mood for doing anything complicated. Quick and easy recipes are the best then. Someone prefers cakes measured in cups, which are quick, for sure, but I think they are less accurate than cakes measured in a scale. Quick cake can be…

I´m sure you sometimes crave chocolate too. You can take a tablet of chocolate and eat it just like that or make some chocolate cake. I prefer the second option, since there is more of a cake than of chocolate and it is less sweet. And how about a cake which contains all three chocolates – dark, milk and white?…

Valentine´s Day is coming, let´s have a romantic dinner – I would never say that. I think that Valentine´s Day is too commercial, which is no good to anyone, maybe only to those who sell red and romantic stuff. However, it is also a great reason to use something pink or red in a cake, I agree with that. You…

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…

Cakes and cookies from holidays are almost gone and for someone this period is about new year´s resolutions and losing weight. I never really understood the principle of new year´s resolutions and new year´s wishes. One who wants to do some resolutions, he/she can do it anytime during a year, he/she doesn´t have to wait until new year. When it…

I passed my last school exam, I can finally profit from Christmas atmosphere. Christmas tree is decorated, almost everything is baked (I still have one cake and one filling to do), so the only thing left to do is to put my feet up and not to care about anything, at least not until tomorrow 😀 This cozy Christmas atmosphere…

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…

A chocoholic is here. There is almost no fruit, it is too early for freezer supplies, so here comes chocolate. My inner me is beyond happy when she can make (and then eat) anything with chocolate, winter is good exactly for that, the easiest access is to chocolate. Today, I have a real delicacy for chocoholics – Extra Chocolate Cupcakes.…

It got cold, I don´t even know when, but you can still find a few apples in your garden. And you can make this traditional Slovak Upside Down Apple Poppy Seed Cake Bars with them. Who wouldn´t recognize it, I think it is a must-have in Slovak homes. In my place, when I was little and we had lots of…
