Floral Chocolate Sheet Cake

It seems Christmas is around the corner. Since the beginning of November Christmas trees are popping up at each corner, shops get decorated from the floor to the ceiling and some shops already have sales for Christmas themed stuff – so does my favorite coffee trader from Hamburg aka. Tchibo*. Since last week they are selling several useful products for your Christmas baking*. I got some of those products and tested them in my kitchen. One of the many things I made – this delicious Floral Chocolate Sheet cake. A colorful cake for Christmas. Right ;)

Chestnut Coffee Almond Cake

Cakes No Reply

Several weeks ago I already published a recipe with chestnut – it was “Bake Together” time with my blogger colleague Andrea and I made delicious Mont Blanc Petits Fours. Delicious sweet little treats with chestnut cream and chocolate. Today I got one more recipe with chestnuts but this time the result is significantly bigger: a delicious Chestnut Coffee Almond Cake. Soooo good!

Pumpkin Chocolate Bundt Cake

Cakes, Thanksgiving No Reply

Pumpkins are in season right now – not only to use them for Halloween as scary decoration ;P These big orange fellas are mostly here to feed us and since the season is quite long, you can easily get them in stores until January… and if you freeze them you can enjoy them even longer. Or make this delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Bundt Cake almost all year round…

German Apple Sour Cream Cake

Halloween is over – so what’s next? A bit too early for Christmas recipes, right? Let’s do something with some of the most popular fruits in autumn: apples! My blogger colleague Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte published a book with tons of apple recipes just recently – this Apple Sour Cream Cake is one of her recipes and one of my favorite recipes from the book. So good! :D

Black Forest Cheesecake

I got cheeeeesecake! Anybody here who wants a slice? I had some cream cheese in the fridge that had to go and cherries in the freezer – both are needed if you want to bake this Black Forest Cheesecake ;) Rich, great chocolate flavor and simply delicious. This cheesecake version of the original German Black Forest Cake aka. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte has it all ;)

Mont Blanc Chestnut Chocolate Petits Fours

Bake Together, Cakes No Reply

It is the end of the month and if you are reading this blog on a regular basis, you should know what this means: it’s Bake Together Time! Once a month I am baking together with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte – well, not physically baking together, but baking together… spiritually? Probably not the right description ;) We decide on one topic and then we create something without knowing what the other one is doing and in the end, we surprise each other with the results. That’s “Bake Together” ;) Anyway. This month it’s all about chestnuts. When thinking of these nuts, I automatically think about one very famous dessert from Switzerland: Mont Blanc! So good, but I wanted to create something special, so I made delicious little Petits Fours with chestnut and chocolate instead of the original dessert… and it turned out well I must say ;)
