Happy Birthday to meeeeee! Well, not really me but Happy Birthday “Bake to the roots”! Five years have passed since I published something for the first time on here. Quite some time, right? To celebrate this day, I made a number cake with guess what number? Five! :P So let’s get the party started!
Since I was a kid pancakes or as we call it “Pfannkuchen” were among my favorite dishes. My mom normally made them on the weekends and we ate them rolled up with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. So good! But times change so do habits – pancakes are not rolled up anymore but stacked ;) For breakfast 2-3 are probably fine but for a Tiramisu Crêpes Cake, you need some more :P
Before I actually had my first slice of a Madeira cake, I always thought this kind of cake has its origin on the island of Madeira and that it is flavored with Madeira wine… I mean, come on – that would make sense, right?! No it doesn’t ;) But it does not change the fact that this Madeira Bundt Cake is super delicious. That is proven! :P
It is cold outside. From now on you can bake again stuff that is bigger and more indulging. All I say “Winter is coming!”. Not only on Games of Thrones ;) You have to be prepared for the cold temperatures and the snow outside. That’s why Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and myself decided to choose “chocolate” as our topic for this years last “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”. Normally I would use this as an excuse to bake something overly crazy with loads of chocolate… but I could hold myself back and used only about 1 kilogram of chocolate in this Brownie Double Chocolate Mousse Cake. Here in Germany, we would say “a breath of nothing”…
I don’t know if you’ve experienced this kind of feeling… or better said urge ;) The urge for lemons, oranges and everything citrus when the weather is bad and when it’s cold outside. There are days where I think “I need vitamins immediately – is there a lemon somewhere so I can have a bite?!” ;) Well… fortunately, there are ways to avoid this kind of weird behavior. Just make this Tarte au Citron Meringuèe and all is fine! Let me show you how to make it (with a little help of my friend aka. the Retro Ribbon Red handheld mixer from Russell Hobbs).
I’ve got some delicious veggie cake for you today! It does not look like a cake with vegetables? Well… might not look like one, but there are definitely veggies inside. Even though you can’t see or taste them. The zucchini in there is in disguise :P Or did you see anything suspicious in this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread? I don’t think so… ;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 ;)
