Loaf cakes are wonderful. Period. They are quick and easy to prepare and (almost) always delicious. Every time there’s a good amount of berries involved – like in this simple Blueberry & Lemon Loaf Cake – it gets even better! Great taste, great texture, and also an extremely moist cake – what more could you want!? (Not using the word »moist« maybe?) ;P
I am not sure why, but this year seems to be my »no-bake cheesecake« year. I’ve made so many of these cakes in the past several months. Not only here for the blog. Most of the cakes I made for friends or family were also no-bake cheesecakes. Why? Because they are delicious and easy to prepare. Like this delicious No-Bake Buttermilk Lemon Cheesecake here. If lemon flavor is something you like you will most definitely love this cheesecake. It’s awesome. The perfect cake for a hot (or rainy) summer day! ;)
»When life gives you lemons…« – you probably know what comes next. When life gives you lemons, you make Lemon Crinkle Cookies. The only correct answer to that question ;P Simple and easy cookies packed with lemon flavor… and a great look, right? They are a great snack all year round, a great gift for friends and family – well, and a great sweet treat for yourself. We make these cookies at least once a month ;)
What’s your opinion about loaf cakes. Cakes like this Easy Peasy Lemon Loaf Cake. Yay, or nay? Whenever I am in a coffee shop getting a cappuccino, I love something sweet along my coffee… something simple like a lemon cake, for example. Most of the time those cakes are really nice and go great with a coffee. A bonus – you can easily take them to go if you are on your way to meet someone or if you have to go to work. All you need normally is a napkin to wrap the slice of cake. Very convenient I think ;)
The first time I found out about Pandan was on a trip to Thailand several years ago. Here in Germany, the plant is not widely known – in Asia Pandan is often used for sweet desserts and pastries. The flavor of vanilla with a nutty base is perfect for sweet stuff. Pandan extract is now a staple in our pantry and is often used in bakes. Not only here in these Pandan Lemon Crinkle Cookies. Something you should definitely try ;)
How about a little refreshment in the form of a dessert? Sounds good, does it? With this lemon & buttermilk dessert in a glass, you get the body temperature certainly (*cough*) lowered by a minimum of one degree – provided, of course, it is well chilled in advance and then enjoyed directly from the fridge ;)
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 ;)
