You’re not in the mood for a big baking session but still want something delicious on the table quickly? Well… how about a simple coffee cake? There is no coffee involved – except you serve something along with the cake – but loads of blueberries and a good amount of streusels. So grab your plate and get a slice of this delicious Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake ;)
It’s the end of the month and it’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! It feels like the last one was just yesterday ;) Maybe it’s because Andrea and I just published our new “Bake Together Summer Edition Ebook” this month and had a lot of work to do the past several weeks. Well. More on that later. Today is all about this month’s topic: “Kiwi”! I guess you could see that already on the first picture. A delicious vegan No-Bake Kiwi Coconut Cheesecake. So good!
Are there any mango fans out there? If the answer is “yes”, I might have something nice for you. A delicious Mango Coconut Loaf Cake. Great texture, juicy, and incredibly delicious. A cake for every season – summer and winter – since mangoes are available year-round. Even though most people probably think more of summer when they see and taste mangoes ;)
This one here is an absolute classic of all the classic German cakes – with Austrian roots actually ;) I think it’s safe to say that a cake like this Quark Cream Cake with Mandarin Oranges can be found in any bakery here in Germany – maybe not always with mandarin oranges, but the quark cream cake is basically a standard in bakeries here. It’s loved by some, hated by others. Nevertheless, for decades it has been an indispensable part of the afternoon coffee time with grandma, grandpa, and great-aunt Erna ;)
As soon as the first cherries hit the farmer’s markets, I normally get a large bag of them from the first booth I see them. Unfortunately, that is something that can’t be prevented. It’s inevitable ;) Most of the time I will eat the first cherries on the way home already. Unwashed, but who cares ;P The rest of the cherries end up in the first cherry cake of the season. Usually something simple, like this Cherry Ricotta Cake. Something that is done quickly, so we can all enjoy the first cherries immediately ;)
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
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 ;)
