Who could resist a pumpkin spice latte? Since it can only be bought at this time of year, it might just be even more delicious. I took the latte as my inspiration and created fall Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes. They consist of fluffy pumpkin sponge cake batter, delicious mascarpone cream and whipped cream icing, and of course, cinnamon on top can’t…

October is here before I know it, and, besides traditional apples and pumpkins, of course I need to use up pears as well. I’m posting the pear cake recipe a little late again this year, but hopefully you’ll still find those four pears in a garden. While scrolling on social media, I came across a photo of a pear cake…

The plum season is slowly coming to an end, but you still have some time to make a cake. After plum jam and plum chutney, I finally got to a cake. As you probably know, me and sour dough don’t really go together, so every year I think of a new plum cake that isn’t just a traditional sourdough plum…

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…

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…

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…

I´m sure it happened to you too. There is a phone ringing, telling you that a visit will come in about two hours. There is no cake in a refrigerator, so you need to work quickly in order it will be ready by then. I had some defrosted puff pastry in a refrigerator, so one problem solved. I decided to…
