With this wet and cold weather outside – what could be better than a big slice of chocolate cake on your plate? This Baileys Chocolate Cake will definitely get you through the cold and dark season. As we all know – chocolate lightens the mood and a shot of Baileys is probably helping here as well ;) So… who wants a slice? And who is making us some coffee that we need with that cake? Any volunteers?
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
It’s time again for a small change, no Christmas cookies today – we got enough of those the past few weeks. Today I got some nice supersized brownies for you. Delicious chocolaty sugar bombs that got a little Christmas upgrade. One of these XXL Christmas Brownies might be too much for one person – even for hardcore sugar and chocolate maniacs, but you can always share on of these brownies… as we all know “sharing is caring!” – especially around Christmas ;)
Winter is coming! How about some extra vitamins? I guess you don’t mind if they are coming in the shape of a nice cake, right?! With this cake, you will make sure everybody gets an extra slice of vitamin C! Are you with me? ;) The mangoes in this (No-Bake) Mango Coconut Cake are sweet, delicious, and are good for your health ;)
Today is World Diabetes Day – I guess serving you a sugar-free and low-carb cake today makes sense, right? ;) All out there that need to cut back on sugar or just want to reduce their sugar intake a bit, this delicious Apple Cake is the cake to make. Who needs that white devilish stuff if you can enjoy sweet stuff without it? ;P
It’s official – we are in a second lockdown here in Germany. Well… not a complete lockdown. You can still go out, meet with a few people, go to work, go shopping… nothing compared to other countries I guess. Restaurants are closed though. This means that in the next few weeks there will be more cooking and baking happening at home. If you want to improve your baking skills while staying at home, you can try making this Pumpkin Apple Bread – another delicious and easy lockdown bake.
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 ;)
