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,…

After Christmas, I wanted a piece of summer, namely some summer fruit. Raspberries take a lot of space in my freezer so some of them are used in a cheesecake. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this cheesecake, I used the frozen ones. Since they slightly melt down during baking anyway, it would be a shame to use…

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…

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…

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,…

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”.…

You´re suddenly craving something sweet, but you don´t have a lot of time or you´re just not in the mood for doing anything complicated. Quick and easy recipes are the best then. Someone prefers cakes measured in cups, which are quick, for sure, but I think they are less accurate than cakes measured in a scale. Quick cake can be…

It´s been a long time since I made yeast dough. Truth to be told, I kind of avoid it. I rather make some tart or cheesecake than something made with yeast dough. I get discouraged by long waiting and manual kneading. However, I finally bought a long-desired stand mixer so I tested it right away and didn´t knead dough with…

Summer temperatures are extremely high so ice cream is a must-have. I made not just a simple one, but Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich with Homemade Raspberry Ice Cream. Something similar to Russian ice cream with wafers, but made with homemade waffles. I really like doing waffles, it is a quick substitute for a cake, and I make these vanilla ones…

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…

Last frozen raspberry supplies are quickly using up, I just hope that summer will come very soon. Thank God I can see cherries already blossoming, at least this comforts me. Anyway, last raspberries were used in these Raspberry Chocolate Cake Bars. They are made from thicker sponge cake since cake needs to hold raspberry gelatin, then from frozen (or you…

Such a long title, but such a simple cake. You may have noticed that I´m not into making cakes. All this decoration, smoothing, uff. I would rather make 5 tarts than 1 round layered cake. However, I dealt with this my way and made a cake where you don´t have to smooth or even out anything. Not because of some…
