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…

Summer is slowly approaching, and in addition to seasonal summer fruits, coconut could also be considered a summer flavor. A great deal of coconut with a bit of chocolate, similar to a bounty bar, was the initial idea for this No-bake Coconut Bounty Cheesecake. I made the crust with cocoa-coconut cookies, so you’ll find that combination here as well.…

The approaching Easter and the coming spring in general can’t be without some carrot cake. This time I incorporated the carrots into the normal cake, not the sheet cake. Such a cake looks more festive and is also suitable for an Easter table. Carrot Cake with Mascarpone Filling consists of a fluffy carrot cake and soft filling with mascarpone and…

Chocolate and peanuts is probably a less traditional combination, but it matches great together. Namely, I opted for Peanut Butter Cheesecake-Stuffed Chocolate Loaf Cake. It features a soft chocolate sponge cake batter and a delicious peanut butter filling in the center of the loaf cake. This loaf cake is great when you can’t decide if you want some cake, like…

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”…

This time comes a little unconventional recipe for me – the savory one. Since there were a few last pears on the tree a few days ago; and after the weather that is about to come, I doubt there will be any; I decided to try the combination of pears and a savory quiche or tart. Quiche, or a savory…

This year’s strawberry season is a bit late, but I finally have strawberries, so I can bake. Strawberries create a great combination with white chocolate, both in taste and visually, therefore I made Strawberry White Chocolate Tart. The tart is interesting in color – as it contains brown, white and red color – and in taste thanks to the combination…

I guess this year´s Easter will be a little bit different then we´re used to, but I believe there still will be some cake on your table. I don´t know why but when I think about Easter, carrot and carrot desserts come to my mind. This year, I made Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Whoopie Pies. They are like a hybrid…

I guess you don´t want any more cakes and you´re looking for something savory and small to make for New Year´s Eve. I like the best savory appetizers made with puff pastry since it is very variable and when you buy an already rolled out puff pastry, appetizers are prepared in a minute. This time, I combined a puff pastry…

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…

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…

I don´t have fresh fruit yet, so the frozen one had to be enough for now. Since I wanted something other than chocolate, I chose a raspberry lemon combination. After all, it is a fresh summer and tasty combination. This Raspberry Lemon Cake is made with fluffy lemon sponge cake with raspberries, raspberry jelly layer and lemon filling. It is…

I´ve been using a lot of lemon in my recipes lately, I don´t even know it got to this point. But lemon curd is soooo good. I made some cookies filled with lemon curd last time so I had one full jar left. I preserved it and now was a good time for Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd. Cheesecake is…

Although Christmas baking is mainly about cookies, I´m sure you also bake one or two creamy cakes. Moreover, what´s more Christmas-y than the smell of gingerbread. I combined gingerbread with traditional American recipe for Red Velvet and made Christmas Gingerbread Red Velvet Bars. The dessert Red Velvet is known for its fluffiness, red color and mascarpone or cream cheese and…

I know, I know, blueberry season is on for many days by now. But here, on the east of Slovakia, everything becomes ripe later and when I finally manage to get it, make something from it and post it on the blog, it is almost non-topical. But I am sure that you can still find blueberries in a market or…

Strawberry obsession continues and although their season is almost over you still have some time to make this Chocolate Loaf Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling. Although cherries are not ripe here yet, I´m really happy for these strawberries because they are my first home grown strawberries. Until now, I always had to buy them. Although there isn´t much of…

Not so long time ago I added a recipe for French Tarte au citron, I´m sure you remember it. I loved the lemon filling so much that I must have used it again in a different dessert. By the way, I think it is a shame that the filling doesn´t have a name on its own, it would certainly deserve…
