Based on the olive oil cake w/ orange flavor I created my own version following the tips in the book. 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…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. A cake loaf w/ fresh fruit… This isn’t my 1st try. To be honest: my overall experience is that a cake w/ fresh fruit likes to collapse due to too much fresh fruit – or to be flavorless & dry due to the lack of enough fresh fruit. Therefore I’m always skeptical when folding in fresh fruit into batter. (More than once recipes in books/blogs proved incorrect!). However,…

This is an earnest question because during the last months when trying to get a simple – or rather „a rather simple“ – loaf cake it ended in some more or less small disaster. So I decided to start a test series. However, for the moment admire my perfect result for a vanilla loaf: I didn’t fiddle…

Before Xmas there were loads of recipes for cakes & cookies & all types of sweet stuff all over the food blog universe – although I didn’t post such a lot in the pre-Xmas Time.

I like a slice of loaf cake next to my espresso cup in the afternoon or as dessert after lunch or dinner or accompanying my espresso nightcap… I think you get it.

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I like loaf cakes. They are so versatile. There are the classic ones like vanilla cake, marble cake, chocolate cake… There are the fruity ones where you just add apples or cherries or …whatever – not to mention the ones w/ dried fruit… & finally every loaf may be covered by icing if a mix of chocolate & cream, if a sugar icing flavoured by lemon or orange…
