This egg white zebra cake is one of my favourite ways to use up leftover egg whites from other baking projects – which is exactly how this recipe came about. It’s a brilliant way to use a large batch of egg whites without making meringues.
A traditional Polish murzynek with the warm flavours of festive spices. This richly chocolatey cake is wonderfully aromatic, beautifully moist thanks to the addition of plum jam or plum butter, and stays fresh for several days. It’s a quick and easy way to satisfy any chocolate craving
Before the weekend, I prepared a classic Prague Cake (Tort Praga) for you – a rich chocolate sponge layered with a silky buttercream made with sweetened condensed milk, finished with a glossy chocolate glaze over a thin layer of apricot jam.
It’s time to start baking gingerbread! These biscuits were made for Wiktoria’s school Christmas charity fundraiser, but they also turned out to be the perfect warm-up for the festive season. The children, of course, were eager to help :). Half the kitchen ended up covered in icing,
Nothing more needs to be said – they’re traditional, well loved in Poland and instantly recognisable. Katarzynki gingerbread biscuits are quite hard immediately after baking (which is perfectly normal) and soften after a few weeks. One of their greatest advantages is that
A wonderful plum cheesecake with a homemade cocoa shortcrust base and crumble topping. It’s one of those recipes that always tastes amazing and instantly brings back childhood memories, as it resembles a lighter version of the classic Polish royal
Panforte is a traditional Italian Christmas delicacy with a long history, originating in the city of Siena in the 13th century. There are no words to describe just how delicious it is! Its texture is most similar to nougat – slightly chewy and sticky, intensely flavoured
A gingerbread cheesecake, although nothing stands in the way of calling it a cake. An incredible combination of many noble festive flavours: warming spices, cheesecake, rum, cinnamon, plum preserves and Amaretto… The cheesecake and gingerbread layers are baked
The recipe for these chocolate plum preserves, commonly called “plum Nutella”, is almost as old as my blog itself, which I started more than ten years ago. Back when I was posting my first shy recipes on Moje Wypieki, this luxurious version of plum preserves was
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth sandwich cookies that taste like little pieces of cake. Moist, lightly cocoa-flavoured and beautifully deep red in colour, they are filled with a creamy Philadelphia-style cream cheese frosting
My children’s favourite ice cream cake… and my husband’s too. Both Maltesers and malted milk drink powder disappear remarkably quickly in our house, which is probably why I don’t buy them very often!
My favourite chocolate cake, this time in a summer version with strawberries! This chocolate strawberry cake is wonderfully light and fluffy, yet intensely chocolatey. The strawberries add a delicious seasonal touch and pair beautifully with
This recipe for a cake charmingly called Glacier Cake came from one of my readers, who happens to share my name (Dorotka, thank you!). Despite its name, it isn’t an ice cream cake. Instead, it features layers of sponge biscuits, creamy custard filling, fruit jelly
Mangomisu is a fresh, tropical take on traditional tiramisu. Ladyfingers are soaked in a fragrant mixture of mango purée and orange juice, then layered with a light mango mascarpone cream and slices of fresh ripe mango. A few strawberries add extra colour
A chocolate cake for those who enjoy wholemeal bakes – and for everyone else, too. This cake is so light, delicate and fluffy that you would never guess it contains wholemeal flour. It proves that baking can be a little healthier without sacrificing flavour.
Absolutely flawless. These chocolate waffles, packed with chocolate chips, are crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. They’re not overly crisp, but have that perfect balance between lightness and tenderness. They’re delicious
The combination of sweet white chocolate and tart rhubarb is simply wonderful. Neither flavour overpowers the other, resulting in a cheesecake that is beautifully balanced rather than overly sweet. It has a rich, creamy texture and plenty of delicious rhubarb
Brooklyn Blackout Cake is an intensely chocolatey layer cake made with plenty of cocoa, generously filled with rich chocolate pudding, coated in a thick layer of chocolate frosting and finished with dark chocolate cake crumbs. It is not overly sweet, while the sour
