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!
Cherries are in season right now – this means these little red fellas end up in many of my recipes right now. As soon as one of these little baskets is empty I get new cherries and create new recipes. I love the cherry season ;) This Cherry Streusel Cake is a good example of what you can do with cherries. Easy to prepare and soooo darn delicious!
It’s “Bake Together” time once again! Yay! Once a month Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I come together for this little baking event, but this time it seems it was a much longer time in between… can be due to all the lockdown stuff – somehow the time seemed to run slower or stopped at all for several weeks. Staying at home all that time doing the same stuff each day makes you forget the time I guess ;) Well… everything is better now, so let’s not complain anymore! Today I got a delicious “All American” Sour Cherry Blueberry Pie for you because the theme of this month’s Bake Together is “Sour Cherries & America”. The combination might not be obvious at first sight, but it makes sense at some point… believe me ;)
It’s time to think about Christmas cookies, right? The Christmas season starts soon – well, in stores it already started some weeks ago ;) The 1st Advent is not far, so let’s talk Christmas cookies, shall we?! Are you the “classic type” that prefers old-fashioned cookies or do you also try “new things” like these Gingerbread Fruit Cake Cookies? If you just said “no” you should think again… these cookies are really delicious ;)
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 ;)
If I ask someone here in Berlin if they know what “Kirschwähe” means, I will probably get the same looks like here… assuming you are not from southern Germany and know that name for a certain bake :P Well… it is the name for something delicious and only a small part of Germany uses this word. End of story… :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 ;)
