This is my favourite recipe for a classic sponge cake. It contains no baking powder and does not sink after baking. The sponge cake rises solely thanks to properly whipped eggs and the careful folding of flour into the mixture. The recipe comes from my good friend Ania
These sweet yeast buns filled with jam taste exactly like the bakery buns I remember from childhood. The dough itself is simple and uncomplicated, with no eggs and no fancy ingredients, yet the recipe is wonderfully reliable and produces beautifully soft, fluffy
A delicious and wholesome breakfast, and a wonderful way to start the day. These wholemeal rolls are soft, fluffy and full of flavour. Their only drawback is that they are rather small—although for a family of four, finishing a batch at breakfast is never a problem! 😉
This honey gingerbread cake is enriched with a generous amount of honey and beautifully scented with warming spices and fresh citrus zest. Easy to make, wonderfully moist and satisfyingly dense, it is everything a festive gingerbread cake should be. The finishing touch
Juicy apple filling wrapped in a light, airy sponge-like cake—this is apple cake perfection. It is simple to make and, if you have jars of grated apples preserved for winter, this recipe is a wonderful way to use them, making preparation even quicker. A whole tray of light
Ladyfingers—the perfect sponge biscuits. Truly perfect. They are indispensable for tiramisu, chilled cheesecakes and countless other desserts. Perhaps they will even become your children’s first homemade biscuits? Made without baking powder or artificial improvers
Another wonderful courgette cake—this time made with hazelnuts. Soft, moist (like all courgette cakes), intensely nutty, delicately spiced with cinnamon and finished with a glossy chocolate glaze. The batter also works beautifully for muffins. Who could resist?
This tiramisu Swiss roll tastes exactly like the famous Italian dessert—the only difference is the way it is served! 😉 A light coffee sponge roll filled with a creamy mascarpone and whipped cream filling. Not overly sweet, delicately coffee-flavoured
An outstanding courgette cake baked with olive oil and packed with walnuts, cinnamon and ginger—full of autumn flavours. Then comes the lemon glaze, which adds a wonderful burst of freshness and just the right amount of zing. The glaze complements the cake beautifully.
This is the most delicious rhubarb pudding we have ever eaten. Rhubarb baked beneath a blanket of delicate sponge cake and served warm with a scoop of ice cream. Simply incredible! Simple ingredients, quick preparation and a flavour that feels
This rhubarb bake surpasses even the classic apple Tarte Tatin! It contains everything I love: buttery shortcrust pastry, tangy and refreshing rhubarb, and caramel—not too much, just the right amount. Like the traditional Tarte Tatin, this tart is baked upside down:
A fantastic combination of rhubarb and almonds in a simple yoghurt cake. This rhubarb and almond cake is fresh, moist and wonderfully aromatic thanks to the blend of extracts and spices, while the generous amount of rhubarb gives it a lovely refreshing character
Right, this one is going to be easier—but I am not going to let myself become too lazy! 😉 This recipe is quite well known online, although I did not follow it to the letter. The whole simplicity of the method comes down to one thing: the dough is not kneaded
My childhood memory from Poland – oval apple-filled doughnuts. Just yesterday, my sister and I were talking about whether apple doughnuts are oval everywhere. In Słupsk they certainly were! 😉 We prepare the apple filling just like for a traditional apple pie and fill
I absolutely love these bread rolls. Their appearance reminds me of my favourite rolls from Poland, but here comes the surprise: they are actually a French and Belgian speciality! 🙂 They are delicate in flavour, wonderfully soft inside, with an exceptionally crisp and crunchy crust.
We love this fruit cake for its soft texture and delicate crumb. It is quite different from a traditional rich fruit cake, as it contains no added fat and no raising agents. Like a classic sponge cake, it rises solely thanks to properly whipped egg whites. Some people find
Continuing with the almond and plum theme, here is a wonderfully rustic Italian almond plum cake. It comes together quickly and requires no mixer — simply combine the ingredients with a whisk. Thanks to the generous amount of ground almonds, the cake stays moist
When someone suggested in the comments under my vanilla rhubarb cake that I should try a similar version with a cheesecake layer, I knew it would be a wonderful variation :). And here it is — a vanilla butter cake topped with creamy white cheese filling, juicy strawberries
