Spicy, dark, aromatic, soft and slightly sticky – a bold molasses gingerbread with a peppery kick. Quick to make, yet full of depth. Its deep colour, flavour and aroma all come from molasses – so it’s worth noting, you really have to enjoy it, as it defines the cake.
A light, moist and delicately crumbly chocolate Easter cake with a hint of cardamom. It’s based on a classic sponge-style cake made with potato starch (with a few tweaks – swapping the flours and adding cocoa). This is a great option if you don’t enjoy creaming butter

Simple Christmas chocolate cookies made without cutters and from basic ingredients you’ll find in any kitchen (you don’t even need eggs!). Perfect for baking with children – let them make a bit of a mess and finally use up those sprinkles left over from Easter ;).

The name “Snowy Fluff” perfectly reflects both the look and the taste of this dessert – I can absolutely vouch for that :). This no-bake cheesecake is made with curd cheese, jelly and whipped cream, topped with toasted coconut flakes. It’s not overly sweet, wonderfully
This “Captain’s Cake” – or rather what I like to call a brilliant cake after it became such a hit at home 😉 – is reminiscent of tiramisu in many ways. It’s wonderfully creamy, chocolatey and coffee-infused, layered with sponge fingers, enriched with plenty of
A creamy no-bake vanilla cheesecake with chunks of Snickers bars, topped with milk chocolate and salted peanuts. Lightened with ricotta, yet still perfectly creamy and smooth. The chopped Snickers add texture and a caramel-chocolate bite. A must-try for all Snickers lovers :).
Festive shortbread cookies flavoured with cardamom and a hint of citrus. Perfect for baking together with children for St Nicholas Day. Wonderfully crisp and delicate – truly perfect! The dough is very easy to work with, rolls out beautifully and holds stamped
A wonderful combination of cheesecake and poppy seed cake in one bake! This time, instead of two even layers, the batters are marbled together – no shortcrust base needed. The cake is simply finished with a light icing on top. Moist, rich and wonderfully festive! It’s delicious and
A rich chocolate cake layered with walnuts, plum jam and a generous soak of rum syrup. A perfect winter bake. Chocolate is the dominant flavour, but the addition of walnuts and dark rum gives it a wonderfully deep character. The cake holds up well at room
This time, I wasn’t the one baking. Whenever my older daughter has a friend over, they often disappear into the kitchen and… bake. First, they choose a recipe from one of the cookbooks, then gather all the ingredients and equipment they need. These are their first steps in the kitchen

Charming “Forest Moss” cupcakes made from your favourite green spinach cake – no artificial colouring needed. Even if they didn’t make it in time for St. Patrick’s Day, they’re perfect for welcoming spring! With a hint of lemon and a light lemon cream, these mini treats are not only
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
