Speedy Damson Plum Cake (with Yogurt-Oil-Dough)

Cakes No Reply

Cakes are great, but if you have to spend several hours in the kitchen to prepare them, they are not as great as they could be ;P I don’t mind working a bit longer in the kitchen on a weekend, but during the week… you have to be able to get everything done much faster ;P Fortunately, there are some simple and quick cakes, like this Speedy Damson Plum Cake (with Yogurt-Oil-Dough) that can be done on a weeknight after work. Quick and easy – that’s what we all want, right? Well… and delicious I suppose ;P

Easy Peasy Orange Loaf Cake

Simple and easy cakes are the best, aren’t they? A lavishly decorated cake with several layers is great, but no one really has time for that in »real life«… except maybe some food bloggers. ;P If you don’t have a special occasion that requires an opulent cake you’re better off with a simple one in my opinion. An Easy Peasy Orange Loaf Cake like this one here, for example. It does not have to look super pretty, it just has to taste good! Or am I wrong? ;)

Easy Vanilla Bundt Cake with Raspberries

Bundt Cakes, Cakes No Reply

Some people think that bundt cakes are boring, I have the feeling. I can not agree with that, of course. If I had the same opinion there would not be that many bundt cake recipes here on the blog ;P I love bundt cakes aka. Gugelhupf. They are usually quite easy to prepare and easy to decorate. A nice glaze and something sprinkled on top is all you have to do to get a good-looking cake ;) Or do you want to say something different about this Simple & Easy Vanilla Bundt Cake with Raspberries? If you got something to say, take a step forward… I have a big wooden spoon ready. Just saying ;P

Zwetschgendatschi aka. German Plum Cake with Streusels

Cakes No Reply

Plum cakes are very popular here in late summer and fall. When Damson plums and regular plums are in season I love to bake cakes with them. I love them so much I could actually bake a cake like this delicious Zwetschgendatschi aka. German Plum Cake with Streusels at least once a week. Fortunately, there are always a bunch of people that are more than happy to pick up a slice or two, so I don’t have to eat all of them by myself ;P

No-Bake Buttermilk Lemon Cheesecake

Cakes, Cheesecake No Reply

I am not sure why, but this year seems to be my »no-bake cheesecake« year. I’ve made so many of these cakes in the past several months. Not only here for the blog. Most of the cakes I made for friends or family were also no-bake cheesecakes. Why? Because they are delicious and easy to prepare. Like this delicious No-Bake Buttermilk Lemon Cheesecake here. If lemon flavor is something you like you will most definitely love this cheesecake. It’s awesome. The perfect cake for a hot (or rainy) summer day! ;)

Damson Plum Ricotta Cake

Cakes No Reply

As soon as (damson) plums arrive at the farmer’s market or in the supermarket it’s time for a simple streusel cake with plums. This year, however, this delicious Damson Plum Ricotta Cake won the race and was the first cake of the »plum season«. I think it was a good decision to try something new. The cake is super easy to prepare and really delicious. It also looks really nice in my opinion – probably not everyone’s cup of tea though with all those plums on top ;P
