It’s hard to avoid pumpkins in autumn… They are lying around everywhere – in large containers in supermarkets, as decoration in gardens and in front of houses. I prefer to use pumpkins for baking instead of decorations (not only in autumn). The best example of an excellent use of pumpkin in a baking recipe is this extremely tasty Pumpkin Chocolate Marble Cake aka. Tiger Cake! Absolutely delicious and also very pretty to look at. I’d say everything here is just perfect. Am I exaggerating? Yes. Maybe. But no! ;P
I’m sure everyone knows this type of cake here in Germany. You can get this cake in a lot of German bakeries and supermarkets. When I was a kid, they sold slices of this Chocolate Spice Cake with Cinnamon Glaze at school in the cafeteria/kiosk. Some might think this type of cake is typical for Christmas, because of the spices used, but I think this cake tastes great all year round. It’s so good!
Simple loaf cakes are always in fashion around here. Why investing more time and effort than necessary in order to have something delicious on the table?

Letting the cake cool down later before cutting it takes longer than the whole preparation ;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 ;)
