The plum season has started and those little purple fruits are now available everywhere. The supermarkets are overflowing with plums. This means it’s normally time to make a nice Damson Plum Cake Tray Bake again. Well… this year I decided to do something different. Smaller, but no less delicious: 6 Spices Damson Plum Pastries with a simple and easy curd-oil-batter. This plum season couldn’t start better… ;)
Cherries are in season right now – this means these little red fellas end up in many of my recipes right now. As soon as one of these little baskets is empty I get new cherries and create new recipes. I love the cherry season ;) This Cherry Streusel Cake is a good example of what you can do with cherries. Easy to prepare and soooo darn delicious!
The rhubarb season is coming to an end. Tomorrow is theoretically the last day of the season which means we have to wait almost a whole year until rhubarb is available again. A cruel time. So let’s quickly make a few more rhubarb recipes before it’s too late. This Rhubarb Compote with Vanilla Sauce and Streusel is a great dessert to prepare in advance or even freeze it for later. In case you want to extend the rhubarb season a bit, this is definitely a good option.
One muffin a day keeps the doctor away! That’s what they say, right? ;) Well… muffins are definitely on my list of favorite bakes and should definitely show up on a plate more often… maybe not every day but close to that. If you are not using too much sugar or fat in a muffin recipe they are not that bad actually. Definitely “more healthy” than a cupcake with a buttercream topping, right!? Anyway. It’s all about muffins today since we are celebrating “Muffin Day” today, so grab one of these delicious Blueberry Streusel Muffins… they will be gone on no time, so be quick!
I already made several recipes with apples this fall, but to be honest – there is always room for one more ;) Fall is apple season and I think you should do as many recipes that include apples as possible. That’s why I made this delicious Apple Crumble Pie today. Well, last week ;) The combination of the apple and crumble topping is so good. Not making this would have been a crime. Is that something you can say in English? ;)
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 ;)
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 ;)
