It’s time for another banana bread. You can never ever have enough banana bread recipes, right? Bananas turn brown so quickly in the kitchen and that’s the moment almost nobody wants to eat them anymore… and the moment they are perfect for some banana bread ;) This delicious Blueberry Walnut Banana Bread will be a great addition to any recipe collection! Don’t you think?
When the strawberry season starts, there’s only one thing that really matters: finding delicious, fresh strawberries and using them to bake something like this super easy Strawberries & Cream Layer Cake! The perfect treat to show off those little red berries… and, of course, perfect to make some hungry friends/family very happy. It’s so easy to make a lot of people happy with a simple strawberry cake ;P
I love baking with rhubarb! No matter what – everything with rhubarb turns out great. I know that not everyone feels that way because it’s not everyone’s favorite veggie to bake with ;P But I can live with that. Means more rhubarb for me and everyone that actually likes those red-green stalks. A great recipe to celebrate the rhubarb season is this simple Rhubarb Streusel Coffee Cake. (Relatively) quick on the table, great texture, and extremely delicious – what more could you want?!
Apple cakes and apple pies are traditionally found wherever apples are grown. That makes sense, right? In Germany, you can find many different types of apple cakes like »Gedeckter Apfelkuchen« or a »Sunken Apple Cake«. In France you can also find a huge variety of cakes with apples – for example, this Apple Cake with Crème fraîche – well, and the Dutch like to bake a Dutch Apple Pies… or is it only the Americans that call this cake here Dutch Apple Pie, and think they are baking a pie from the Netherlands?! ;)
I think there are only a few cakes that seem to please everyone. A popular German cake called »Russischer Zupfkuchen« aka. Chocolate Cheesecake is definitely one of those cakes. I never met anyone (personally) who did not like this cake. What can I say – I love it too because it’s so damn delicious! Creamy, chocolaty, absolutely great! Today, I made a version of this cake that is a bit different – a Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries and little chocolate hearts on top. Great for Mother’s Day… don’t you think? ;)
A marble cake is always a little trip back in time for me – back to my childhood when these cakes were made more often than they are today. I guess they were quite »trendy« back in the 80s ;P These days I rarely bake a cake like this simple Marble Bundt Cake anymore. It’s a pity, to be honest. I think these cakes look really nice and are normally pretty easy to prepare… well, and delicious. Maybe we should »make marble cakes great again« ;P I am pretty sure there are quite a few supporters out there for a campaign like that.
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 ;)
