I assume you all know what a cobbler is, right? If not… it is about time you get to know it ;) Cobblers are delicious sweet treats with a layer of fruit (compote) and a layer of crunchy dough on top… served with some ice cream one of my favorite deserts! This one here is a (Wholemeal) Damson Plum & Apple Cobbler – your new favorite treat. Pretty sure about that! ;)
Not too long ago I published a recipe for a Mirabelle Plum Poppy Seed Streusel Cheesecake here. I really like cakes with plums, but I actually did not want to publish a new plum recipe this year – I think I already have enough… and now you get another one ;P Guess I could not resist those purple little fellas. Hope you don’t mind that new one for this Semolina Cheesecake with Damson Plums.
I did not plan to bake anything with plums this year for the blog – I have so many recipes already ;) Well… the universe wanted one more I guess and sent me mirabelle plums, so I had to give in and make this Mirabelle Plum Poppy Seed Streusel Cheesecake. I guess there are worse things that could have happened, so I am not complaining ;)
The end of the month is here… the money is gone and everyone is waiting for fresh money to appear on the bank account ;) Well.. even though this is an important topic, there is something much more important at the end of each month: Bake Together – The Baking Surprise with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte! Yay! ;) You know… that little baking thing where we choose a topic and surprise each other with the result. This month it’s all about apricots and I made a delicious galette with… apricots! And plums and nectarines ;)
It is quite common now that bloggers turn into book authors. Happened to me too as well some time ago ;) This year in February two of my blogger colleagues from Cologne also published their first book. Instead of cooking and baking recipes they did something different. Their first book is all about marmalade, jam and more. A really interesting topic I think. This is why I am showing you today that book and of course there is also something you can make yourself: Damson Plum Jam from the book – but slightly altered ;)
Right now you can find those little dark purple fellas everywhere – in supermarkets and farmers markets. Plums! Plums! Plums! Or Damson Plums! ;) It’s about time to do something with them an give you another of favorite recipes for this delicious little colorful fruits. Let me show you how to make a Classic German (Damson) Plum Streusel Cake! You will love it!
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 ;)
