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…

I passed my last state exam so I have a master’s degree. I finally have some time to bake, which really pleases me. The only thing left to do is to find a good job, easy-peasy right? 😀 Since strawberry season is on, I told myself that Ombré Strawberry Yogurt Panna Cotta would be the right refreshment for this hot…

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…

As I already mentioned on FB, this-year-fruits ripen very soon, it is just the beginning of August and half of plums have already fallen from trees. I just don´t get it. So at least a few of them had to be used in a cake, of course. As you may know, or not, I don´t like a traditional Slovak Plum…

This year, I have blackberries too, hooray. Last year, when I finally wanted to get them, I either didn´t find any or I was all soaking wet. This year it didn´t look promising either, after all, I was picking them from wet branches, but, luckily, I managed to do it without any rain. Now, I´m laughing that if you want…

It may not be clear from my recipes, but I come from and live in Slovakia. And from time to time I´m in mood for traditional Slovak cuisine. Besides cakes from kneaded dough and Kolach rolls stuffed with different fillings, this Crumble Cream Cheese Cake is definitely one of the most traditional desserts. In Slovakia, we call it “Strúhaný tvarohový…

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…

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…

I´m opening a raspberry season on the blog with a traditional Raspberry Chocolate Banana Bread. It is traditional because this recipe is the universal one, you basically can add anything to it, substitute raspberries with any seasonal fruit, use nuts instead of chocolate and so on. Another reason is that I made it so many times that the recipe is…

My cherries were not ripe yet during this week so I was thinking about a cake which didn´t require a lot of cherries. Eventually, I made Chocolate Cherry Truffles. Just to make it clear, truffles, or truffle balls, have recently become popular and you can find them in stores. But why should you buy them since they are so simple…

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…

Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries everywhere. In my case, strawberries and tartlets. I kind of have tartlet obsession so second recipe in row is for tartlets, specifically for Strawberry Cream Cheese Tartlets. If you remember last year No-bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cups which were so popular, this is exactly the same filling. Cream cheese with sour cream and whipping cream tastes really…

My favorite summer fruit, raspberries, is here. Although this year there isn´t much of raspberries, you can expect few recipes with them during a season. As a first one, these no-bake chocolate raspberry cheesecake cups. Although weather doesn´t say so, it is summer and no-bake dessert are quite popular now, so I made one too. In total, you will need…
