rhubarb season – rhubarb bake!

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   We are mid of rhubarb season & it’s time for me to add some new rhubarb dessert experience. I thought of some combination of baked rhubarb w/ lots of thickened rhubarb juice & some light cake…     For the record: The dessert is also known as cobbler in the English hemisphere.

bananas, bananas…

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   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!)   For the…

a simple vanilla loaf

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   Why is it so difficult to bake a simple loaf cake? 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…

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   It’s really annoying when you discover – mid of winter – that your home-made jams are running out of supply. (I admit that I didn’t produce such a lot of jam last year in spring & summer…) I decided to refill some of the jam jars… well: which jam to make? In winter you may rely on any frozen fruits, but… When aiming at fresh fruits there are…

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. Best is a loaf cake with some sort of icing keeping your cake moist – that’s the reason behind, however… it’s…

super-moist rhubarb cake

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…
