Tartlets with Cream Cheese & Tomatoes

In summer, the supply of delicious and tasty tomatoes is always at its best. If you grow your own tomatoes, it may happen that there is a time when everything is ripe at the same time, and you got more tomatoes than you could snack on your own. This is the time when recipes like this one here for Tartlets with Cream Cheese & Tomatoes come in handy. With a recipe like that, you can quickly get rid of quite a few tomatoes and create something delicious at the same time. A snack for your summer party, a picnic, or maybe something for your lunch box at work. These small tartlets are great when warm but also taste great when eaten cold ;)

Blueberry & Raspberry Burnt Cheesecake

Cakes, Cheesecake No Reply

When people think about Spanish cuisine, the first things that probably come to their minds are Paella, Tapas, and maybe Churros… but there is much more, of course! If you’re a fan of cheesecakes you will most definitely know about the Basque Cheesecake aka. San Sebastián Cheesecake. This super delicious and creamy cheesecake, with its very special dark (and partially burnt) crust, which also gives the cake its third name: Basque Burnt Cheesecake! My Basque Cheesecake with Blueberries & Raspberries didn’t turn out quite as »burnt«, but instead, the delicious berries bring it to a whole other level ;P

Buttermilk Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Curd

Cakes 1 Reply

Spring is officially here and also not – somehow the weather can not quite decide whether it should now be cold and wet or sunny. Well… that’s April I guess. At least here in Germany ;) Whenever the sun is not coming out it’s a good idea to get something “sunny” on the table. A delicious Buttermilk Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Curd, for example. The colors alone say spring and sunny, right?! ;)

Cream Cheese Swirl Banana Bread

Bread & More, Cakes No Reply

Germany’s holiday lockdown is supposed to last until next week – let’s hope that’s the end of it and we can slowly go back to a more normal life. Probably not gonna happen if you look at the numbers, but some can hope, right? Well… lockdown means more people are cooking and baking – which leads more people to food blogs. At least that is something good (for me) ;) No – honestly – people finally spend some more time in the kitchen preparing meals and bake bread or cake instead of just ordering food. I think that is something good. People should bake more. Much more. Even more banana bread (with cream cheese swirls) ;P

Today is World Baking Day! Yay! What do you do on a day like this? Baking, of course! It doesn’t matter what you are baking – the most important thing is to get the oven ready and create something nice to munch ;) Today I made a super delicious little Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Well… maybe not so little, it’s actually quite a bulky piece of cake.

Classic Carrot Cake

Cakes No Reply

If you ask people from all around the world which cake they like the most, you will often get the answer “cheesecake”! In the US you will also find a lot of people that like carrot cakes a lot. Her in Germany we are not that fond of carrot cakes – even though Starbucks does a good job in trying to convince us. Their carrot cake is awesome ;) Anyway. I am a huge carrot cake fan and love to bake it. I am not eating much of it though (because of all the sugar) but my friends and colleagues are very happy each time they get a slice of goodness ;P
