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!
A month passed by already since Andrea and I made our last “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”. Fascinating how time flies. Especially in summer. Seems those get shorter every year :P Anyway. The month passed and it’s time for a new topic – you know the drill. This time we agreed on making “a tart with fruits or something like that”. Not very specific :P I guess this time we won’t have very similar recipes. Well… I made a gluten-free Coconut Pudding Tart with Fruits and Berries. Delicious!
If you have been to the southern part of Germany or Austria, you probably seen or eaten this dish already: Kaiserschmarren or translated Emperor’s Mess. It is basically a big pancake that has been shredded, served with applesauce or compote. A nice dish any time of the day. For breakfast as well as for lunch or dinner… or anytime in between ;)
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 ;)
