The season for cherries still going on here in Germany. So why not baking some more with these red little fellas? Maybe some delicious Cherry Streusel Muffins? Sounds good? They are super easy to make and go really well with a cup of coffee or tea – even on a hot summer day. So grab one, get your coffee and let’s meet on the balcony… just be careful with all the wasps outdoors. They also like these muffins a lot! ;P
Black Forest Cake is a classic German bake. Loved by many, hated by many others ;P Let’s put it that way – it’s a controversial cake. Turning that classic cake into cupcakes is probably even more controversial for some people. But I could not care less – the cupcakes are delicious and that’s all that counts ;P
The cherry season is in full swing! What else can you do with these little red fruits besides cherry pie or compote? How about some “classic” sweet pastries, as you would find them in almost every bakery here in Germany? Delicious Cherry Streusel Pastries aka. German Kirschtaler made with an easy quark-oil dough. Is that something you would be interested in? ;)
As soon as the first cherries hit the farmer’s markets, I normally get a large bag of them from the first booth I see them. Unfortunately, that is something that can’t be prevented. It’s inevitable ;) Most of the time I will eat the first cherries on the way home already. Unwashed, but who cares ;P The rest of the cherries end up in the first cherry cake of the season. Usually something simple, like this Cherry Ricotta Cake. Something that is done quickly, so we can all enjoy the first cherries immediately ;)
Well, how about a big plate of Kaiserschmarrn? Maybe with some cherry compote on the side? Probably not a bad idea if you look at the weather outside, right? After a big portion of that dessert you will be happy and won’t give a flying f** about the wet and cold weather anymore… of if the sun is shining tbh. ;P Everything will be juuust fine. At least for a while. So… shall we turn on the stove already and prepare the ingredients?
Happy Cheesecake Day! I know… most people won’t even know about that food holiday being celebrated in the US or care about it. I personally – having a very intense relationship with cheesecakes – so Cheesecake Day is extremely important to me. Some of you probably noticed that already ;) That’s the reason why I have a very special and delicious cheesecake for you today: a super Creamy Cheesecake with Cherry Topping! Hmmm… so good!
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 ;)
