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…

Blueberry season is here so I wanted to take advantage of their bold purple color. I use wild blueberries in my desserts, they have a deep purple color so desserts have a lovely bold color too. Some of you have texted me that your blueberry desserts ended up with a bland brown color and not the purple one. The reason…

The red berries are slowly ripening, but not fast enough for me to make a cake with just one kind. Therefore, I figured I’d mix the remaining strawberries and ripening raspberries and red currants. I was in the mood for something colorful, chocolatey yet fruity and soft. Brownie Red Berry Vanilla Torte has it all. It contains three colorful layers,…

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…

This year, although a bit late, it´s already a strawberry season for me. I combined them, unconventionally, with another seasonal product, namely elderflower syrup. Since I already have elderflowers in my garden, it would be a shame not to use them. The combination of sweet elderflower syrup and fresh strawberries is perfectly suited to this time of year. Strawberry Elderflower…

I obtained some blueberries and wondered what to do with them. I really like the bold purple color of blueberry and blackberry desserts, so it must have been something that bold. The choice fell on the combination of white chocolate, cheesecake, mousse and blueberries. White Chocolate Blueberry Mousse Cheesecake consists of two parts – a no-bake creamy white chocolate cheesecake…

There are many raspberries in my garden, even though I tossed away a lot of them in the spring and I thought there won´t be much of them. But they quickly recovered and no one would say more than half of them was gone in the spring. So they went into a cheesecake right away, if it can be called…

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…

The last few strawberries were left in my garden, so I need to make something with only a small amount of strawberries/filling. Since I like cream horns, but the traditional Slovak version is made with too sweet egg white filling which I don´t like, I made my version of cream horns. I used whipped cream, mint and fresh strawberries instead…

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…

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…

Blackberry season is on and maybe you were also wondering what kind of a cake to make with them, but besides a traditional bundt cake, pound cake and muffins, you didn´t get any other idea. I always get this block with blackberries, but mostly with currants and gooseberries. Therefore, when I saw a recipe for Blackberry Coconut Tart in a…

I wanted to pick up some blueberries two weeks ago but, of course, there weren´t any. I bought them now and managed to save up some for winter. Lemon is a great match to blueberries, it is clear from other recipes on my blog since the lemon blueberry combination is present in about three recipes. It is their season now…

I don´t have my own apricots this year, they all fell from the tree or the tree had some infection, I don´t know. At least there is still someone who is willing to give a few of them to me or I can buy them on a market. I was thinking what to do with them and I eventually made…

Raspberries are finally here. I´m excited about it since there is no better combination than raspberries and chocolate. However, I chose to leave out chocolate this time. I´ve been thinking about the bold red color of red velvet cake for a while and it came to me to combine it with raspberries. There was finally the time for fresh raspberries,…

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…
