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 know it sounds a bit weird to eat something hot and spicy in summer, something that can make you sweat, but that is actually exactly what you need sometimes! Look at the Asian cuisine – full of hot and spicy curries – which are eaten all year round at any temperature ;) When I visited Asia and Thailand in particular for the first time, I kind of fell in love with curry. All those fresh ingredients and all those incredible flavors! I really love it! This Vegan Red Thai Pumpkin Curry is a good example here – so delicious and actually quite easy to prepare. I did not make it too hot, but if you can stand the heat, feel free to spice it up! ;P
It’s the end of the month – this means it’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte! It’s quite hot in Germany right now, so I assume this delicious No-Bake Berries Greek Yogurt Cake will be the perfect sweet treat. A delicious refreshment you can prepare without turning on the oven in your kitchen ;)
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 ;)
