Hi and Hello from my Home Office! I guess many out there do the same thing right now – working from home! Well.. let’s make the best out of that situation. Let’s have a nice slice of cheesecake. A nice Baklava Cheesecake with Nuts, Honey and a little bit of Ritter Sport chocolate – just enough to make the flavors of this cheesecake perfect ;) Does anybody want some?! Line up and we will see how long it lasts…
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!
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 ;)
Are you already in the mood for Christmas and everything that comes with it? Maybe already tired of “Last Christmas” playing on the radio? ;) Well… not everybody is into that whole Christmas madness, but I am pretty sure that most people are into cheesecakes (marvelous jump from one topic to another, right?). This Vanilla Crescent Cheesecake is slightly “christmassy” because of the Christmas cookies on top but mostly “cheesecaky” and delicious. That’s the important message here :P
It seems Christmas is around the corner. Since the beginning of November Christmas trees are popping up at each corner, shops get decorated from the floor to the ceiling and some shops already have sales for Christmas themed stuff – so does my favorite coffee trader from Hamburg aka. Tchibo*. Since last week they are selling several useful products for your Christmas baking*. I got some of those products and tested them in my kitchen. One of the many things I made – this delicious Floral Chocolate Sheet cake. A colorful cake for Christmas. Right ;)
I got cheeeeesecake! Anybody here who wants a slice? I had some cream cheese in the fridge that had to go and cherries in the freezer – both are needed if you want to bake this Black Forest Cheesecake ;) Rich, great chocolate flavor and simply delicious. This cheesecake version of the original German Black Forest Cake aka. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte has it all ;)
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 ;)
