March is about to end and some of you might know what this means… the last Sunday of the month is always „Bake Together – The Baking Surprise“ day. Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I are deciding on a topic and bake. This month it’s all about Easter. Who would have guessed ;) So grab a plate and a fork, I got a nice Chocolate Easter Cake with Eierlikör. Mmmmm…
Eggnog/Eierlikör Fan or not? That is the question here ;) There is not much in between! Either you like it or you hate it. Me, myself and I are huge fans of it, that’s why we try to incorporate eggnog/Eierlikör wherever possible. For example in these delicious Eggnog/Eierlikör Cheesecakes for Easter. I think with these cheesecakes you can convince people to come to the yellow side of life (instead of the dark side, u know?) :P
Are you a fan of Cupcakes? A fan of eggnog? I think those two groups have not that much in common ;) Not yet. Wait until you have seen and tried these delicious Chocolate Eggnog Hi-Hat Cupcakes! They are the best! Especially if you are looking for something “fancy” for Easter. They will be the stars on the breakfast/brunch table ;)
Eierlikör season definitely started here already! The weeks before Easter many blogs show recipes that use Eierlikör (eggnog) one way or another. My blog included ;) Right now basically every second recipe is made with this yellow super drink. For example this delicious Eierlikör Cheesecake with a tiny little whipped cream topping. Hmmmm…
Eierlikör is mandatory for Easter here in Germany. Well at least if I’m the one in charge for the Easter Brunch or Breakfast ;)
Mostly known as a treat for old ladies ( I don’t understand why, because I like it a lot) – Eierlikör is not only good for drinking and getting drunk. You can also bake with it ;) Not long ago I made a delicious Eierlikör Gugelhupf – really good and made with Homemade Eierlikör. This time I made another German Easter Classic – Eierlikör Torte. I saw the recipe for this cake on Steffis blog cupcakewerk.de (a really nice blog btw.) and knew instantly I had to bake it too – not only because I had some Eierlikör left from the previous week that had to be used – I also liked a lot that it is a small cake ;)
I always look for new things to bake for Easter – this holiday is just perfect for everything baked. Better than Christmas :P For Easter you usually have the same (hopefully nice) people around you (like Christmas), there is a lot to eat, but (unlike Christmas) the weather is normally better, and you can go out to celebrate. That’s much better, right?! ;) This simple Eierlikör Gugelhupf (Bundt Cake) with Chocolate Glaze is one of my latest discovery for Easter. Great texture, fluffy and »moist« thanks to the Eierlikör. I know you don’t like the word »moist« but that’s just a fact ;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 ;)
