There are 6 small Bundt cakes coming out of my new toy – isn’t it great! Have a look at the gleaming new baking tin … Of course I had to test it asap! I stuck to the recipe attached to the packaging concerning the amounts of butter, flour, eggs … only reducing the amount of sugar by about 20%. So don’t let’s waste precious time: let’s take off!
… I decided to create some cookies for my better half & me when taking a break in the afternoon (or whenever!) & having a coffee or espresso – summer with high temperatures doesn’t stop us from enjoying our coffee mania. … & I imagined some cookies w/ chocolate on top. I’m sure … we deserve some treats like these shortbread cookies I enriched w/ rosemary & orange zest – not to mention the dark…
It’s hot outside – the sky is blue – the sun burns like hell: it’s ice-cream weather! Some years ago I tried to prepare homemade ice-cream in a very simple way & it worked: a creamy & refreshing lemon chocolate ice-cream was my very 1st creation. (In fact I never was eager to produce homemade ice-cream. Maybe because an ice-cream machine didn’t sit on my kitchen desk – no way of churning ice-cream manually. Even…
We are now full in the rhubarb season … & I like to give you a recipe for an easy rhubarb dessert. (I admit that I posted this recipe years ago, but it hasn’t lost any of its deliciousness!) For this dessert rhubarb is transformed into rhubarb compote, which I often prepare in order to have 2-3 tablespoons together w/ banana & yoghurt for breakfast. Around the Easter weekend there is always a mix of…

(I thought about adding orange to the title, but then I realized that it would be too long …) There are minced pistachios for a slightly crunchy finish. I got the idea for this cake from Skye McAlpine’s 1st cookbook A Table in Venice. It’s…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. 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…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. When looking at the photo it’s exactly what I intended to create: a tart made w/ a shell of spekulatius & its wonderful Xmas flavors, some chocolate to seal the shell, some vanilla custard for the creaminess, some morello cherries for the freshness & on top lots of roasted almond flakes. What I planned was to get nice slices of the tart … instead it became a mess…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. At the moment all people seem busy w/ ice cream making at home – at least when roaming food blogs you’ll find lots of new recipes & (sometimes!) strange combinations. Unfortunately no ice cream maker is sitting somewhere in my kitchen eager to produce ice cream… Therefore I’ve to stay w/ my approach for “no churn ice cream“ (which works very well!). Which ice cream… Quite easy: I…
