Donuts | Bake to the roots

I’ve been eating less cake and sweet stuff for a few years now. I know it’s hard to imagine when the person saying this is running a baking blog for cakes and sweets, but it’s true! Most of the time I am not getting tempted anymore by the sweets at a bakery, for example, but when it comes to donuts…?! My brain seems to fall back to old habits and demands sugar and fat. These delicious Rhubarb (Curd) Crumble Donuts are no exception here. They were pretty much inhaled right after the photo shoot ;P

Quarkbällchen aka. Quark Balls

December 29, 2023

Quarkbällchen aka. Quark balls are a sweet snack you can find at pretty much every German Christmas market (or similar events). These small deep-fried dough balls are very popular with young and old alike. No wonder – pretty much everything you deep-fry and roll in sugar afterward tastes delicious. It’s not my fault. It’s a fact ;P If you want to make Simple Quarkbällchen at home, just like the ones from the markets, you don’t need a big deep fryer. A simple small pot/saucepan will do the job just as well…

Easy Boston Cream Donuts

June 2, 2023

Donuts are nice – you can’t deny that. Airy, fluffy, sweet, and greasy… the perfect combination for a sweet snack, right? If only making them at home could work without frying and those smells in the kitchen. For this reason, we don’t make delicious Boston Cream Donuts like these here not that often at home. Only for special occasions once in every blue moon. Or maybe I should get a proper deep-fryer you can seal off completely? ;)

Drop Donuts with Cherry Compote

May 6, 2022

There are loads of events and holidays throughout the year where you need deep-fried sweet stuff. Carnival or New Year’s Eve, for example. There is no way around it. It doesn’t matter what you throw into the hot oil as long as the result is nice and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and it’s covered with sugar. I do not encourage people to drink alcohol, but if you eat greasy stuff like that you can drink more ;P Well… these Drop Donuts with Cherry Compote have not been made for those situations. They are just a delicious snack you can enjoy all year round any time of the day (with or without alcohol) ;P

New Year’s Eve Donuts aka. Berliner Pfannkuchen

December 28, 2021

Another year comes to an end. Somehow I had the feeling that this year passed by much faster than usual. I know that the older you get, the faster the years go by, at least it feels that way, but this year was a bit different. Because of COVID and all the time spent at home, it sometimes seems to me as if the previous pandemic-free years are already far in the past and we’re jetted through 2021 with turbo engines. Oh well. Everything will be better next year. Isn’t that what they say? This should be celebrated properly, with these delicious New Year’s Eve Donuts aka. Berliner Pfannkuchen – that’s what we call it here ;)
