A serious rival to the German lebkuchen (which you love!). This time, I’m inviting you to try Nuremberg lebkuchen – different from the ones you already know, also known as Elisenlebkuchen. The tradition of baking them dates back to the 14th century.
Christmas ginger cookies are perfect for winter, when you’re craving something warm and comforting… Crisp on the outside and slightly chewy in the centre, they crack as they bake, giving them a lovely rustic character. They fill the kitchen with the wonderful
A delicate, silky no-bake coconut cheesecake with a milk chocolate topping, inspired by the flavour of a Bounty bar :). This no-bake Bounty cheesecake is simply delicious! It’s hard to imagine a creamier, lighter no-bake cheesecake. The coconut flavour comes from
Biscotti are traditional Italian biscuits that are baked twice. Dry, though less so than Polish rusks, and sweet, they can be wonderfully varied in flavour. They’re perfect with coffee or a glass of wine, and their ability to keep for a long time is, apart from their delicious taste, one
A wonderful, deliciously buttery almond-flavoured Bundt cake. Like any creamed cake, it’s simple to make, and half of the flour is replaced with ground almonds. They’re what keep the cake from becoming dry and help it stay fresh for longer than a traditional
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are simple, buttery biscuits with lightly crisp edges and a soft, chewy centre. The rolled oats give them a distinctive, slightly rustic texture. Packed with dark chocolate chips, they are wonderfully aromatic and pleasantly moist.
I can never resist coming back to the flavours of almonds, Amaretto and marzipan… I baked this almond Amaretto cheesecake out of a longing for that delicious almond flavour – a longing that has stayed with me since the festive season. It’s an unusual cheesecake
I made these cupcakes for Pola’s birthday – much simpler and quicker than making a cake, yet just as festive. Pola chose the chocolate cupcakes and the sweet pink frosting herself. She was delighted – they lived up to her expectations, although she quickly
Lemon meringues are classic white meringues sandwiched together with a delicious lemon cream. They are definitely my favourite meringues from now on :). They are less sweet and more refreshing than traditional meringues, thanks to the addition of lemon juice and the
The best chocolate fruit loaf. This chocolate loaf with prunes and walnuts is dense and substantial, deeply chocolatey and moist without being heavy or stodgy. Packed with plenty of prunes and walnuts, with a hint of orange, it is wonderfully soft. Could this be an alternative
Black Forest Squares are a combination of chocolate, cream and, of course, cherries :). If, like me, you live in a country where fresh cherries are not particularly popular, you can use frozen cherries with equally good results. The base is my favourite brownie
A delicious chocolate cheesecake with cherries, or more precisely, cherry frużelina (cherry gel). This is a no-bake cherry chocolate cheesecake made without gelatine in the cheesecake itself: it relies on good-quality, thick quark and chocolate, which allow the
A charming apple tart that looks like the most beautiful bouquet of roses! You simply can’t take your eyes off it. Rose Bouquet Apple Tart tastes every bit as good as it looks. The best crisp shortcrust pastry, homemade almond crème pâtissière and soft, fragrant
A chocolate cake inspired in both flavour and appearance by the well-known and much-loved Kinder Pingui chocolate bar. Two melt-in-the-mouth chocolate cake layers sandwiched with a light vanilla cream and an additional thin layer of chocolate.
Spiced biscuit cake with plum butter and cream is a festive no-bake dessert. The thin spiced layers are made from spiced biscuits (which are readily available in shops in the run-up to Christmas), layered with a cinnamon and almond liqueur cream and a double layer of plum butter.
A delicious, gently orange-flavoured cheesecake topped with persimmon mousse and pomegranate. This persimmon cheesecake is the first recipe using this fruit on Moje Wypieki! Persimmons are in season now and aren’t particularly expensive, so let’s make the most of them.
Chocolate Plum mazurek will be making an appearance on my Easter table. I’ve decided to continue my series of “chocolate plum” recipes which, although more suited to winter, I think will fit perfectly with the atmosphere of this Easter, which is unfortunately
Last year I started a series of Easter egg-shaped mazurkas (eggnog and blackcurrant, chocolate “day and night” and coconut and raspberry). This year I’d like to continue the series of modern mazurkas in the same format. I’ll start with a classic – a dulce de leche
