I made a classic German cake today – a cake that is quite popular here in Germany: German Mole Cake with Bananas. Most people here probably know this cake from the supermarket where you can find it in the aisle with baking ingredients… as a box cake mix ;) Well. Nothing we are using here, so this one is made from scratch, of course. And much better than the one from the box I have to add ;P
If I am telling you “This is the World’s Best Bananas Foster Cheesecake” you probably think I am way over the top or I am just trying to trick you into reading this article here. Probably just a clickbait headline to get this recipe on the first page of the Google search… well – yes and no. Of course, I want people to find this recipe but it is also the best Bananas Foster Cheesecake ever! By far! Really. Tears were running down my face when I had my first bite… and they were happy tears, not the sad ones ;P
Germany’s holiday lockdown is supposed to last until next week – let’s hope that’s the end of it and we can slowly go back to a more normal life. Probably not gonna happen if you look at the numbers, but some can hope, right? Well… lockdown means more people are cooking and baking – which leads more people to food blogs. At least that is something good (for me) ;) No – honestly – people finally spend some more time in the kitchen preparing meals and bake bread or cake instead of just ordering food. I think that is something good. People should bake more. Much more. Even more banana bread (with cream cheese swirls) ;P
I don’t want to be the one telling you “I told you so…” – a new lockdown has just recently been announced for Germany… the social distancing rules getting more strict, some people started hoarding toilet paper again… let’s hope that flour and yeast are not disappearing this time or I will go crazy for sure ;P Well… just in case you need to stay home and want to bake again – I got a new recipe with bananas for you. Banana bread was very popular the first time, why not try something new? How about some Banana Bread Scones? Equally delicious and easy to prepare ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! Today’s recipe is a little bit different… many people come here on Fridays because they like the classic, large cookies with loads of chocolate and stuff like that – today’s cookies are made without white sugar or regular flour. They are slightly smaller and you could almost say… slightly healthier than other cookies. But that doesn’t mean that these Peanut Butter Banana Bread Cookies are less delicious ;)
Today is World Baking Day! Yay! What do you do on a day like this? Baking, of course! It doesn’t matter what you are baking – the most important thing is to get the oven ready and create something nice to munch ;) Today I made a super delicious little Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Well… maybe not so little, it’s actually quite a bulky piece of cake.
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 ;)
