It’s an olive oil cake w/ orange flavor – the basic recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipe defines cake for 2 rather small round cake pans – I used a larger springform. I made some rough calculation & decided that the area covered by 2 small cake pans or by a larger springform – like mine – was almost the same. So there were no changes necessary due to the dimension of…
To begin with: a banana bread isn’t bread, it’s cake. At the end you get a juicy, soft cake w/ chocolate flavor & a hint of vanilla. (Ok – this time I didn’t add any more spices like cinnamon or so, nor did I shatter any nuts, nor did I think of any additional fruit or vegetables … to make all just a bit more fancy!) Years ago – at least it appears to me…
We are on the Italian road again … you know: Omnes viae Romam ducunt! (So now you know that I learnt some Latin at school … in the spirit of my food blog it’s simply: go to Rome resp. Italy & you’ll learn about the best desserts ever!) Tiramisu: Imagine a (big!) rectangular casserole filled w/ ladyfingers soaked w/ espresso & fine liquor, covered w/ mascarpone cream finished by a thick layer of cocoa. You may…
I remembered some spice-laden cake from my childhood & looked for my baking tin (the one made of little bundt cakes). To make it a little more juicy I decided to add some morello cherries – not too many because I didn’t want any soggy mess which wouldn’t like to leave the baking tin after the oven session. … & I had the idea to cover the bundt cakes w/ an icing of sugar &…

So when thinking of the combination of summer/sun/heat & espresso/vanilla ice cream I decided to make home-made ice cream … An espresso ice cream … I started dreaming of espresso flavor combined…
This is a chocolate cake. A simple chocolate loaf.(It’s a chocolate cake w/ chopped pistachios which are optional.) Is this a healthy cake? Maybe you’ve already made an educated guess … This isn’t a brand-new post – I published it about 4 years ago. Then I’d like to present a recipe for chocolate cake & some insights – my very own! – about healthy food in general & especially about posts featuring the It-word healthy.…
For my baking I used my baking dish for 6 small Bundt cakes. I preheated my oven to 160° C fan.
We are still approaching Xmas – the ultimate time of the year for baking! It happened that I suddenly on an afternoon thought about baking … some cake? So I checked my kitchen, the pantry, the fridge … Fortunately I’ve always got some supplies on flour, sugar, eggs & all the trimmings of baking like baking powder, vanilla extract etc. Aside from that …Some days ago I got a glass jar w/ mixed spice from…
