It’s summer and easy recipes are always welcome, right? My motto right now – less time in the kitchen but still delicious and stunning desserts on the table. It’s possible ;) This Summer Pavlova with fresh fruits and berries is the ideal candidate here – easy to prepare and a showstopper on every garden party… in case you have a garden, otherwise a regular table in the kitchen will do ;)
It is still too hot for baking to be honest. But the desire for something sweet can’t be stopped by high temperatures, right? ;) So what else can we do? Well… get the fan to the kitchen and heat up the oven. This cheesecakes baked in glass jars with cherry compote are definitely worth the work in a hot kitchen. Fortunately, the cakes are the perfect snack to bring along to a lake or picknick in the woods… so definitely something you should think about ;)
Everybody knows cinnamon rolls. They are quite popular. Delicious and fluffy yeast rolls with a thick cinnamon cream cheese glaze on top. Hmmmm… So good! These ones here are a seasonal version with cherries. Since cherries are all over the place right now, you have to use them for baking, right? ;)
If you heard of typical German bakes, you probably heard of this beauty: Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte aka. Black Forest Cake! Some folks love it, some hate it like my dog hates rainy weather ;P No matter what, it’s a classic German bake you might want to try one day. No, you definitely should try it! The recipe might look a bit complicated, but it’s actually pretty easy…
It’s not really the time for fresh berries and fruits from the farmers market right now. If you are lucky, you got a nice big freezer and prepared some berries and stuff last summer. All the others have to rely on the supermarket around the corner… which is fine. This pie works fine with all kinds of berries. Fresh ones, frozen ones from your mom and the stuff from the supermarket freezer. As long as you have at least 4 different kinds of berries. Otherwise, it’s not a Quadruple Berries Pie ;P
Today’s recipe is a German classic – Donauwelle or also known as Snow White Cake. Have you heard of it or maybe made it already? I like it a lot, but opinions about are very different. Too old-school, lame… some of the critics ;) I don’t think it’s lame at all! Old-school maybe, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing…
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 ;)
