Apple cakes are in season right now. Fall is the time to bake them, right? It’s actually not very surprising – they are laying around everywhere waiting for you to do something with them ;P I got some from the farmer’s market and made this really simple and easy Apple Crumb Cake today. Done in no time and sooooooo good ;)
If you need a quick fix for a delicious dessert you should definitely make yourself a crumble. It’s so good and super easy to prepare. What kind of fruits or berries you use to make a crumble doesn’t matter – it will turn out great no matter what. This one here is made with a mixture of apples and cranberries. Delicious combination!
You can still get plums and damson plums everywhere here in Germany… but that will be over soon and then the dark time of the year begins – the time of frozen berries and fruits ;P Well… at least if you want to bake with seasonal and regional fruits and berries. Until then – let’s make the best out of it and prepare one last dessert with plums: a delicious Damson Plum Crumble. So easy to prepare and so good at the same time. Served with some vanilla ice cream or custard this is one of my favorite desserts. Of all times! ;)
Fancy cakes are nice but sometimes a simple coffee cake with some berries is all you need. Don’t you think so? This Simple Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake is the perfect companion with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon – and you don’t even have to spend hours in the kitchen to prepare it. That’s the best part ;) Fancy cakes are projects for the weekend when you got a lot of time, but this one here can be done quickly in the morning any day of the week – for whenever guests are coming by rather unexpected ;)
Christmas and marzipan are one and the same for me. Well, not really, of course, but one is actually not possible without the other. Throughout the year I am not the slightest interested in marzipan – around Christmas it suddenly makes sense ;P This means this Easy Marzipan Streusel Coffee Cake is perfect for the holiday season. If you are a fan of marzipan, you can make it year-round, of course. Not gonna keep you from baking something delicious ;P
October is almost over. It’s time for a new “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! Many of you probably expect something for Halloween today but unfortunately, I do not have anything bloody for you today. Sorry! Just a delicious Apple Pecan & Cranberry Streusel Cake. Nothin’ overly fancy. If you want it to be Halloween-themed you could pour some red fruit sauce on top and stick a few knives into it… but the cake is actually fine as it is here :P
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 ;)
