A cake is always a good idea for a birthday or other celebrations. We (personally) don’t need big layer cakes for that. A simple Funfetti Vanilla Pound Cake, like the one here, is perfect and more than enough! Super easy to prepare and extremely delicious! The colorful sprinkles make the cake perfect for a celebration – whether for children or adults. A little more color in life never hurts, right?! ;P
When it comes to cheesecake, we usually love us a Basque cheesecake… but this simple Baked Raspberry Cheesecake with cookies base is great competition! The consistency is similarly creamy, and a large dollop of whipped cream with fresh berries on top never hurts either. With that, this cake definitely earned some extra points! ;P
One or two rhubarb cakes or pies per season are simply not enough. That’s why we always try several rhubarb bakes each year. This delicious Rhubarb Sour Cream Cheesecake is our latest test subject. A creamy cheesecake with fresh, sweet, and sour rhubarb in the cheesecake filling – absolutely delicious and very easy to prepare.
Strawberries are incredibly delicious, but baking with them is sometimes a bit difficult. Fresh strawberries often release too much moisture into a bake and can therefore be a little problematic. That’s why these Espresso Strawberry Brownie Cookies are made with freeze-dried strawberries. Not only are they available all year round, they are also more flavorful… Let’s be honest, that never hurts. ;P
For us, a simple Chili con Carne is a dish that is usually prepared for parties – although it’s also a great meal for lunch or dinner. You just have to cook a big pot and then you can enjoy it for several days. Well… or serve make a large party crowd happy right after midnight, when everybody is hungry after all that singing and dancing. ;P
In summer, people like to get together in the garden or park with friends and family. Some people fire up the barbecue, while we prefer to cozy up with something sweet and a few drinks. These little Strawberry Tarts are quick and easy to prepare and really delicious. The perfect sweet treat for the next summer party!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
