It’s time again for a new “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” with Andrea Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. Once a month we get together (virtually) and create something based on a topic we’ve chosen in advance – not knowing what the one on the other end of Germany (we live far from each other) is doing. This month it’s all about fruity muffins. You probably noticed that already when you saw these Jumbo Muffins with blueberries, lemon, and poppy seeds ;P
There are moments in life where you don’t have flour at hand for baking…. not only when people buy a lot of it and leave the shelves in supermarkets empty ;) In “rough” times like that, it’s good to know some alternatives. A delicious Low-Carb Bread with Oats & Seeds, for example. One of many options you have if want to go “flourless”… wanted or unwanted ;P
Spring is here and Easter is coming up soon. Many people have worked hard to get some extra pounds from Christmas off of their hips (not me) – so it’s time to get some of them back with delicious Easter treats. These little chocolate cakes here are the perfect candidates for that. Of course, only if you do not share. If several people nibble on small cakes like that you will not have a problem with gaining extra weight. Hopefully ;)
There are recipes you make all the time and there are recipes you make once. The ones you make more often are normally the easy ones… well and the ones you like, because it’s so delicious. These Blueberry Muffins have it all. They may not be the prettiest muffins you’ve ever seen, but they taste extremely delicious and are super easy to prepare. And as they say, “It’s the inner values that count”. In this case, those “inner values” are big, juicy blueberries ;P
Fancy cakes are nice but sometimes a simple coffee cake with some berries is all you need. Don’t you think so? This Simple Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake is the perfect companion with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon – and you don’t even have to spend hours in the kitchen to prepare it. That’s the best part ;) Fancy cakes are projects for the weekend when you got a lot of time, but this one here can be done quickly in the morning any day of the week – for whenever guests are coming by rather unexpected ;)
How about an easy peasy cake with mascarpone cream, fruit layer, berries, and cookie crunch? If you ask anyone around here the answer would always be “Yes!” or “Why am I still waiting for my slice of cake?” ;) As soon as I am done with a cake here, when all pictures are taken, someone is waiting with a plate and requesting something to munch. Happened here too, of course. Luckily I used less sugar than usual in this recipe so I can also enjoy a slice. Clever, right? ;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 ;)
