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…

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…

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…

I think that no-bake truffles of any kind are a traditional part of the Christmas table. I try to vary them almost every year since there are so many possibilities. I’m a chocoholic with all my heart so I can´t imagine Christmas without at least one chocolate dessert. This time, I used chocolate in chocolate truffles, then I added gingerbread spice…

I had some mascarpone in my fridge and I was in a mood for tiramisu, but since I already made traditional tiramisu and tiramisu cheesecake, I wanted something different. Therefore, tiramisu cookies were created – cookies with a subtle coffee flavor filled with mascarpone filling. Cookies are made with traditional ingredients such as flour, butter, sugar, plus instant coffee and…

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…

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…

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…

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…

We traditionally make choux pastry donuts for Christmas and Easter – the regular ones with vanilla buttercream. Choux pastry donuts are made with choux pastry (of course) and are shaped into circles, therefore they resemble to donuts. They belong to the same category as éclairs, profiteroles, etc, but this shape is the most popular in Slovakia, we call them “venčeky”.…

I had three mascarpone packages in my fridge so it was about time to make something with at least one of them. When we talk about mascarpone, what else comes to your mind than tiramisu. Since I already have a recipe for traditional tiramisu on my blog, I decided to make No-bake Tiramisu Cheesecake. I don´t like using eggs in…

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…

December is here, not only calendar, but also weather, says that. I hope that it will get wiser and there won´t be -15 Celsius degrees during a night anymore, I am not used to this kind of chilly weather. The best thing to do in such weather is to tuck up in a blanket with hot chocolate, a laptop on…

What´s more fall than pumpkin. I finally planted a Hokkaido pumpkin this year (and it grew) and I couldn´t waited to make something from it. My excitement fell a bit when I realized that the pumpkin needed to be washed, baked, peeled and mixed with a bit of water, only then I could use puree 😀 Anyway, after all this,…

What kind of a food blog it would have been, if tiramisu had been missing. And indeed, tiramisu had been missing on my blog. We made it in our home a few years ago, but we had a recipe which required eggs so we didn´t like it. Now, I wanted to give it a shot again, but this time without…
