Onion cake aka. Zwiebelkuchen is a typical cake from my home back at Lake Constance. You will find these cakes in the south of Germany, Switzerland, and the Alsace area everywhere in late summer and fall. This onion cake here is made with yeasted dough and a good amount of onion filling… exactly how the perfect onion cake should look like ;P
Summer is the season for fresh fruits and berries. If you can get all that fresh from the farmer’s market it’s a must to make something with it, right?! ;) Right now we’re in plum season – this means, of course, you got to bake something with plums. Normally, we would make a big tray of plum streusel cake to celebrate plums and the start of the season but this year decided to bake something different. A delicious Damson Plum Poppy Seed (Streusel) Cheesecake. A great combination in my opinion. Isn’t it? ;)
Classic plain cheesecakes have a lot of fans I think. They taste delicious, they are (hopefully) super creamy and great as a dessert or sweet snack whenever you need something to indulge yourself ;) There are also cheesecakes that are a bit more “special”. Can you imagine making your cheesecake with potatoes? Well… it’s actually something that is “a thing”. Best example: this delicious Potato Cheesecake with Raspberries & Blueberries (and meringue topping). Sounds interesting, right? ;)
Can I be honest with you? I think Biscoff cookies are terrible! Why? Because they are soo delicious! Sounds like a clickbait title, but it’s true ;) The cookies taste like caramel and are super tasty, but thanks to all that added sugar they have, they are really not good for me (as a diabetic). I really have to hold myself back here. Same for this delicious Biscoff Cheesecake here. I would love to jump right in and eat it completely by myself… but no. Not possible ;P
You are expecting many guests and you want to serve a dessert that is as easy and not too complicated? How about a trifle? This Giant Summer Trifle with Cherries & Mango will feed a lot of people. I mean it. Only make it if you are expecting a lot of people, otherwise, you will have leftovers for sure. Even the biggest dessert fans will have a lot of work here and probably not be able to finish this trifle. Believe me… I tried ;P
Strawberries are simply delicious – I assume most people will probably agree with that. As soon as the season starts these little red fellas can be found everywhere. Most likely in (and on top) many of my desserts and cakes. I just love to use them everywhere. This delicious No-Bake Strawberry Mousse Cheesecake is just one of many delicious cakes you can make with strawberries. Not many cakes are as good as this one here I might add. This one here is a really nice one ;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 ;)
