The best apple crumble buns! Soft, fluffy dough, moist filling, and not overly sweet. You can use ready – made stewed apples from a jar, but fresh apples cooked down (like for apple pie) work just as well. The crumble with walnuts or pecans adds wonderful depth of flavour.
For me, November smells like apples, nuts, spiced tea, and Scandinavian bakes… Like a squirrel, I stock up on nuts for winter ;). This maple walnut bundt cake was simply a must. A rich pecan-maple filling hidden inside a soft, buttery cake – there’s something truly special
This is exactly the kind of dessert I love – fresh, creamy, and wonderfully simple. A smooth lemon filling on a biscuit base (reminiscent of key lime pie), paired with juicy raspberries. Light, tangy, and refreshing; perfect for those who enjoy a hint of sharpness in desserts.
A delightful “cookie-style” shortcrust cake – softer than traditional pastry, enriched with ground almonds. Everything is baked at once, with no need to pre-bake the base. The redcurrants bring a refreshing tartness, making it perfect for summer days, while
An aromatic, warmly spiced pumpkin roll filled with creamy Philadelphia-style frosting – the kind you might know from carrot cake. One of its biggest advantages is how quick and simple it is to prepare, just mix the ingredients and bake. It’s also a beautiful dessert
A fantastic, rich poppy seed and coconut cake. It’s not your everyday bake – quite a few ingredients, a relatively small tin, but the flavour is truly outstanding! It disappeared while still warm, which doesn’t happen often in a house where baking is a regular thing.
This strawberry cake with a light meringue topping is a summer twist on the classic polish szarlotka with meringue. Buttery pastry (both base and topping), sweet meringue foam and plenty of strawberries – the perfect afternoon treat! It’s definitely worth baking while
Boston cream pie is a classic American dessert dating back to the mid-19th century. It features two layers of cake filled with rich custard cream and topped with a glossy chocolate ganache. A truly wonderful combination. Although it’s not widely made in Boston today, it was
An absolutely irresistible carrot Bundt cake with ground almonds and a delicate orange flavour. Perhaps it’s time to start a new Easter tradition – serving this moist, aromatic cake with its beautiful golden-orange colour? The finely grated carrots blend seamlessly
An incredibly delicious almond cake topped with a crunchy almond crumble, tart rhubarb, and juicy raspberries. Rhubarb season has just begun – time to make the most of it! Frozen raspberries work perfectly here (no need to defrost). The cake is soft, moist, and
An exceptionally delicious rolled poppy seed cake – truly the best recipe! Moist, soft, and staying fresh for days, it’s far better than anything you’ll find in a bakery. It has never failed me – this is my signature bake. This recipe makes 3 generous cake rolls (about 35 cm each).
Seromak – also known as poppy seed cheesecake – is one of my favourite flavour combinations. And since my husband absolutely loves poppy seeds in any form, I didn’t need much convincing to bake it. I must admit, this recipe is exceptional
This apple poppy seed cake – often referred to as Japanese poppy seed cake – is wonderfully moist and full of flavour, just the way we like it. It’s made almost entirely from rich poppy seed mixture, though it can also be baked on a thin shortcrust base if you prefer.
Blueberry Dream cake – a layer cake with blueberry mousse, whipped cream and a glossy blueberry topping. Packed with over 700 g of blueberries, it’s bursting with flavour. You may already recognise the blueberry mousse from my cheesecake – this time it’s paired with soft
Strawberries are currently at their best – and at their most affordable – so it’s the perfect time to make the most of them (and their vitamin C!). While they’re of course healthiest eaten fresh, if you’re in the mood for a simple butter cake, I can wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.
Jewish gingerbread, known as lekach, dates back to the interwar period, when Jewish communities were widespread across Poland. This cake symbolised hope for a prosperous year ahead and remains a part of culinary heritage to this day. In Yiddish, lekach
A classic vanilla and chocolate marble bundt cake – perfectly sweet, beautifully soft and one of the best I’ve ever baked. Highly recommended.
A delightful blueberry slice with custard – featuring a buttery almond shortcrust base, a light vanilla custard cream and a glossy blueberry topping. It’s a simple yet elegant dessert, cut into neat squares and you can even bake it as a tart if you prefer. With all the flavours
