Today I got the best of two worlds – apple pie meets cinnamon rolls. These two come together to create a super delicious Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie! Sounds good, right? This pie made it to our “all-time favorites list” immediately and will end up in our oven more often I think – maybe also in your oven (made by you of course and not me)?! ;)
Is there something you like so much you can’t say “no” even though you know it is not the best for you? Since I am trying to eat less (to almost none) sugar I reduced eating sweet stuff a lot. No more sweet baked goods from the coffee shop, no more chocolate after dinner or gummy bears when too lazy to make a proper meal ;P Most of the time it’s absolutely no problem to skip the sweet stuff. Sometimes I might get a bit emotional when standing in front of a bakery with a lot of nice sweet bakes on display – but as soon as I turn around and everything is out of sight, I am fine again… except there is some good-looking cheesecake. That always gets me… like this Strawberry Cheesecake for example ;)
It is time to celebrate! Our little monthly blog event “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” just got three years old! Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I are celebrating this little milestone with birthday/celebration cakes on our blogs – and you can celebrate with us! Well… not physically, but virtually ;)
Easter is over – which means we can eat and drink again whatever we want. Finally! No more holding back ;) That’s why I got a nice 2-in-1 cake for you today. It’s a dessert and a boozy drink at the same time (kind of): Gin Tonic Cake!
This cake might look not very fancy, but it is definitely worth making! It is so damn delicious! The flavors from the orange and almonds are so good together! This cake is gone in no time every time I make it ;) I wished that all loaf cakes were that good and delicious…
I am a huge fan of Eierlikör… that delicious yellow liquor made with rum and eggs. It is not that common outside of Germany and its neighboring countries I think. The U.S. has something that could be considered “similar” but it is actually not – eggnog ;) Even though Eierlikör and eggnog are from two different worlds, you can use both in the same way in bakes. Because I like it so much, I made a little list with my favorite recipes.
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 ;)
