You don’t always need a big cake or a pie if you are craving something sweet. Sometimes a plain muffin is all you need. By “plain” I do not mean “boring”. These Double Chocolate Berry Muffins are far from boring. They are the perfect sweet treat for all the chocolate lovers out there. Conveniently, these little fellas are ready in no time. What more could you want? ;)
Classic plain cheesecakes have a lot of fans I think. They taste delicious, they are (hopefully) super creamy and great as a dessert or sweet snack whenever you need something to indulge yourself ;) There are also cheesecakes that are a bit more “special”. Can you imagine making your cheesecake with potatoes? Well… it’s actually something that is “a thing”. Best example: this delicious Potato Cheesecake with Raspberries & Blueberries (and meringue topping). Sounds interesting, right? ;)
Spring is here and Easter is coming up soon. Many people have worked hard to get some extra pounds from Christmas off of their hips (not me) – so it’s time to get some of them back with delicious Easter treats. These little chocolate cakes here are the perfect candidates for that. Of course, only if you do not share. If several people nibble on small cakes like that you will not have a problem with gaining extra weight. Hopefully ;)
I know… a heart-shaped cake is quite obvious and not very innovative when it comes to Valentine’s Day. It’s something everyone expects, right? Well… if you prefer a square cake, you can definitely make this No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Heart in a square baking pan. The result will be just as delicious and will probably look good as well… just a bit “boxy” ;P
How about an easy peasy cake with mascarpone cream, fruit layer, berries, and cookie crunch? If you ask anyone around here the answer would always be “Yes!” or “Why am I still waiting for my slice of cake?” ;) As soon as I am done with a cake here, when all pictures are taken, someone is waiting with a plate and requesting something to munch. Happened here too, of course. Luckily I used less sugar than usual in this recipe so I can also enjoy a slice. Clever, right? ;P
Using leftovers can be so easy and delicious! If you have some stale milk bread or brioche and leftover frozen fruit and berries at home you can turn them into an absolutely brilliant dessert in no time at all. A classic bread pudding with berries aka. Ofenschlupfer here in Germany! Maybe this is something for your next breakfast or when a whole gang comes over for brunch? I highly recommend 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 ;)
