Another take on a flavour combination that’s already a favourite on the blog – alongside the Rocher meringue torte and Rocher cake, these irresistible chocolate hazelnut cupcakes simply had to happen. I made them for Children’s Day… don’t ask who ate the most ;).
A light summer cheesecake with white chocolate and strawberry mousse, with no baking required. The whole dessert is airy, delicate and fluffy – like a strawberry milkshake or a soft strawberry mousse. Decorated with meringues and freeze-dried strawberries, though
Delightful festive cookies packed with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Crisp on the outside and soft in the centre, they’re simple to make and turn out perfectly every time. A wonderful treat for the holiday season!
These “chocohotopots” are the most chocolatey pudding you can imagine. The tops bake into a delicate, slightly cracked crust, almost like macarons, while the inside stays molten, rich, and irresistibly gooey. Perfect for chocolate lovers and cosy
Even if it’s still warm outside, it’s worth indulging in the combination of pears and warming spices. This spiced pear cake with chocolate glaze is wonderfully moist, aromatic (with a gingerbread-like flavour), and soft, even with the addition of rye flour.
A vanilla cheesecake topped with a sweet, luscious caramel chocolate mousse – perfect for those who truly love indulgent desserts. This one doesn’t hold back on caramel sweetness – you simply have to embrace it! For the mousse, use proper caramel-flavoured
I have a feeling cherry season is coming to an end… so I decided to say goodbye with these simple and delicious cupcakes. The cherries are baked into the cake and also used to decorate the chocolate topping. A small addition of yoghurt makes them extra light and fluffy.
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
If you haven’t yet managed to convince your children to try spinach cake – this might be the one that does the trick! This playful “watermelon” cake is made from a vibrant green spinach sponge, topped with a light whipped cream layer and finished with red strawberry jelly
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.
This cherry cheesecake is a truly delightful no-bake dessert, light, creamy, and melt-in-the-mouth. It sits on a delicious chocolate sandwich cookie base and is finished with a smooth chocolate ganache topping. You can use sour cherries, sweet cherries
These triple chocolate cookies made a perfect homemade Christmas gift – and turned out to be a total hit. Slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy in the centre, and intensely chocolatey. Everyone loved them!
A classic vanilla and chocolate marble bundt cake – perfectly sweet, beautifully soft and one of the best I’ve ever baked. Highly recommended.
Cherry and chocolate buns are simply irresistible. You already know how well cherries and chocolate work together – there was no way these could be missing here. I had to wait a little for good cherries (I rely on deliveries to local Polish shops!),
I’d been meaning to make chocolate ice cream for ages, but never quite had enough freezer space for an ice cream maker… until now. And it was absolutely worth the wait. Homemade chocolate ice cream is something else entirely – it shouldn’t even share
If you happen to have some leftover chocolate sweets or pralines after the holidays, they’re perfect for baking. That’s exactly how this orange brownie came to life, inspired by the iconic Terry’s chocolate orange (a personal favourite). This brownie is wonderfully moist
Nigella Lawson’s Torta alla Gianduia was such a hit that I couldn’t resist experimenting further with Nutella. The combination of hazelnuts and chocolate is one of my absolute favourites, and these brownies truly deliver. Rich, dense and wonderfully fudgy
For those who enjoy fresh, zesty flavours, this one’s a real treat. This passion fruit mazurek is baked in a tart tin and filled with a beautifully tangy, creamy filling bursting with tropical character. It’s a slightly more modern take on the traditional Polish Easter
