To all the coffee fans out there – I got a very special recipe for you today. An awesome Brazilian Chocolate Coffee Flan Cake. Three good things combined – flan, coffee flavor and chocolate – and if enjoyed with an additional cup of coffee on the side… mmmmm even better! You got to try this one here!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well… that actually depends on the day you are reading this. The day I publish this recipe is not on Valentine’s Day and there are 364 days a year that are also not Valentine’s Day… so the chances are slim that today is Valentine’s Day ;) Aaaanyway. If you want to surprise a loved one with something nice (and I don’t mean flowers) you might want to think about to show your love in shape of a Chocolate Heart Cake. Sounds obvious, right?! ;)
Blueberries are quite popular berries I think. Not only here in Germany – all over the world. The U.S. and the U.K. have many delicious recipes with those little blue fellas you can make – not only sweet stuff though. Blueberries also work well in savory dishes. Here you will find those blue berries almost 100% in sweet bakes. Since I already have quite a collection of recipes with blueberries I decided to make a little list with my “Top 15 Favorite Blueberry Recipes”. Everything from cake to scones – if you like blueberries you might like this little collection. Hopefully, you can find something you haven’t made so far ;)
It’s time for another German Classic – if you never heard of it you missed out on something delicious: a Frankfurt Crown Cake aka. Frankfurter Kranz. This popular cake can be found in bakeries all over Germany – not only in Frankfurt as the name might let you think. The cake dates back to the 18th century when the German Emperor was crowned in Frankfurt. A cake with some history ;)
January is the month where many people try to cut back on sweets and live a bit healthier – after all the food that has been served and eaten around Christmas people basically start running to the gym to get rid of some extra pounds they put on. It’s a bit ironic that the “Chocolate Cake Day” is happening in January when everybody avoids sweets like the devil avoids holy water :P Well… the idea for this foodie holiday to celebrate chocolate cakes probably comes from a company that sells cocoa or chocolate… and I don’t mind. I would like every day of the year to be “Chocolate Cake Day”. This Ultimate “Blackout” Chocolate Cake is the perfect cake to celebrate this special occasion ;)
It is “Bake Together” time. Some might be a bit surprised – there was a “Bake Together” two weeks ago and we normally only post once a month… Well, that one was a special one dedicated to the “Day of the German Apple” – Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte thought we should honor that day and bake something ;) Now we are “back on track” with our regular schedule – which means once a month at the end of the month – and today is all about low-carb baking! Since everybody is trying to get rid of some extra pounds after Christmas, we thought we should go with the “season” and do something low-carb. And low-carb I did. A delicious Keto Chocolate Cake. It’s hard to go lower with the carbs :P
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 ;)
