I wanted to make layered parfaits for a long time, parfaits which would contain a layer of strawberries and some white layer. I´ve been deciding between a white chocolate and whipped cream layer or a cream cheese and whipped cream layer – cream cheese and whipped cream won since I wanted a lighter, fluffier cheesecake filling. When it comes to…

I´m sure you sometimes crave chocolate too. You can take a tablet of chocolate and eat it just like that or make some chocolate cake. I prefer the second option, since there is more of a cake than of chocolate and it is less sweet. And how about a cake which contains all three chocolates – dark, milk and white?…

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…

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…

Since right now I don´t have my university lectures, I can make parfait cups. I really like them, but I don´t do them during my university time because they are difficult to transport and they take a lot of space in my bag. Parfaits are usually light and also easier to make than a traditional cake. A new year is…

Only one week left. I admit that I haven´t baked anything yet, not a single thing 😀 I have my last exam on Wednesday, only then I can fully bake, decorate a Christmas tree, a house and profit from Christmas mood. For the first time in 5 years of my university study, I won´t have to study for anything during…

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…

Some people are already baking for Christmas, but I try to avoid Christmas baking, I still have time for it, at least one week. By this time, the blog will be in Christmas mood too. I noticed mangoes on sale a few days ago, so I took two of them and I was wondering at home what I would make…

Although it is just November, my freezer is full of summer fruit, so it would be about time to use it. The first one to use up was cherries from summer. Of course, you can use fresh cherries instead of the frozen ones, you will just need to use more water. I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake for a…

So the last this year cake from seasonal fruit is here. Frozen fruits, bananas and similar stuff will have to be used in a while. This Apple Cream Cheese Cake became so popular, that I saw varied recipes for it everywhere, even a week after I made it, it turned up in a newsletter of a shop. Like I say,…

A chocoholic is here. There is almost no fruit, it is too early for freezer supplies, so here comes chocolate. My inner me is beyond happy when she can make (and then eat) anything with chocolate, winter is good exactly for that, the easiest access is to chocolate. Today, I have a real delicacy for chocoholics – Extra Chocolate Cupcakes.…

First this-year-pear-recipe on the blog is with chocolate combination. I made my peace with the fact that majority of fruits at my home will be wasted since it is like all fruits conspired against me and ripen at the same time. One just doesn´t have any chance to use it all up. I read current food magazines and it seems…

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…

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…

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…
