I bet there are a few cinnamon fans out there, right? Most probably think of Christmas when they taste or smell cinnamon… but I think pastries and bakes with cinnamon are great all year round and delicious any time of the year and at any temperature ;P So in case you want to satisfy your cinnamony cravings and don’t want to wait until Christmas you should bake this delicious Cinnamon Streusel Loaf Cake. It’s super easy to prepare and goes great with a cup of coffee in the afternoon ;)
Have you ever baked with potatoes? I do not mean a casserole dish with potatoes and veggies, but delicious sweet pastries. I am pretty sure many of you know potato bread and bread rolls, but do you know you can bake delicious cake rolls with potatoes? I made a really nice one the other day with a blueberry mascarpone filling. So good! That’s probably something new for many. Well, it’s something that can be fixed easily… by making these Potato Croissants with Blueberry Filling and Streusel Topping ;)
Blueberries are available in stores all year round. If you can’t get fresh ones, there are always frozen blueberries in the aisle with the frozen products. Depending on what you want to do with them, you have to choose between fresh or frozen. In most cases, you can use frozen berries without any problems, because the small berries kind of disappear in the bakes anyway. The blueberries in these Blueberry Streusel Bars merge into one thick blueberry layer, so frozen berries work perfectly here ;)
The season for cherries still going on here in Germany. So why not baking some more with these red little fellas? Maybe some delicious Cherry Streusel Muffins? Sounds good? They are super easy to make and go really well with a cup of coffee or tea – even on a hot summer day. So grab one, get your coffee and let’s meet on the balcony… just be careful with all the wasps outdoors. They also like these muffins a lot! ;P
The cherry season is in full swing! What else can you do with these little red fruits besides cherry pie or compote? How about some “classic” sweet pastries, as you would find them in almost every bakery here in Germany? Delicious Cherry Streusel Pastries aka. German Kirschtaler made with an easy quark-oil dough. Is that something you would be interested in? ;)
If you’ve ever been on vacation in the US you’ll know that people there love to eat muffins for breakfast. Together with a cup of coffee, this is certainly a good option to start your day… if you’re in a hurry or want to eat your breakfast on the go. I prefer my muffins in the afternoon. One of these Cheesecake Streusel Muffin with Lemon Curd and a cup of coffee and I am happy until dinner ;)
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 ;)
