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, strawberry cake topped with a delicious, crisp sugar crust. The crust forms simply by sprinkling sugar over the batter just before baking. My cake, baked in a 23 cm tin, turned out quite tall – next time I’d use a 25 cm tin so I could fit in even more strawberries
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
A fantastic, rich poppy seed and coconut cake. It’s not your everyday bake – quite a few ingredients, a relatively small tin, but the flavour is truly outstanding! It disappeared while still warm, which doesn’t happen often in a house where baking is a regular thing.
This cherry cheesecake is a true summer classic – creamy, rich cheese filling studded with juicy cherries, sandwiched between two layers of buttery shortcrust pastry. For best results, prepare the pastry a day in advance and chill it well, making it easier to grate.
Strawberries are currently at their best – and at their most affordable – so it’s the perfect time to make the most of them (and their vitamin C!). While they’re of course healthiest eaten fresh, if you’re in the mood for a simple butter cake, I can wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.
I’ve always wanted to create a raspberry version of a wonderful blueberry cheesecake. My earlier attempts at making a baked cheesecake with fresh raspberries weren’t very successful. That’s where freeze-dried fruit comes to the rescue. This raspberry
A rich and intense chocolate cheesecake, based on a recipe by Nigella Lawson. With a chocolate topping and a biscuit base, this is a truly indulgent dessert. Traditionally made with cream cheese such as Philadelphia, I prefer to use Polish curd cheese, finely ground three times.
Apparently, this is a legendary cheesecake from Poznań, served at Café La Ruina. If I ever visit Poznań, I’ll definitely stop by to try the original. In the meantime, here’s a recipe for a truly delicious cheesecake packed with mango purée. It’s creamy, delicate and
Dulce de leche mazurek is undoubtedly the king of the Easter table. This version isn’t quite festive, as it was baked in January – more of a mix of dried fruits and nuts. For Easter, I recommend decorating it with a decorative pastry edge – it will look beautiful! It’s absolutely delicious
A delicate and fluffy cake with the addition of rhubarb and raspberries. If fresh raspberries aren’t available, you can use frozen ones – no need to defrost them first. This rhubarb and raspberry cake is perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Sweet with a slightly
An absolutely irresistible chocolate courgette cake. Deeply chocolatey (you really need to enjoy dark chocolate), soft, springy, and lighter than a brownie – even if it might not look that way at first glance. It’s hard to stop at just one slice, and you won’t taste
Cranberries are here! These bright red, tart, glossy berries look and taste wonderful in bakes. These quick cranberry and white chocolate muffins are sure to tempt you to bake a batch :). The sweetness of the white chocolate and soft muffin is perfectly balanced
Cinnamon swirl bundt cake is a cake made with sour cream and a cinnamon swirl running through the middle. It’s delicious, wonderfully moist and filled with the warm aroma of cinnamon. Perfect for the weather outside, which still can’t quite decide whether it’s already
An irresistible lemon cheesecake with lemon curd and Italian meringue. The essence of spring baking. A biscuit base, creamy cheesecake filling with a gentle lemon note, a layer of tangy lemon curd and plenty of sweet, cloud-like meringue covering the top. The whole dessert is inspired
The children went back to school today after nearly three weeks of Christmas holidays. After lunch I served their favourite cake – a rich chocolate cake that I bake and then top with fruit set in jelly. It’s not a brownie-style cake, not dense or heavy. The children
Blueberry crumble cake – the beauty of simple flavours. This classic butter cake is made with sour cream, packed with plenty of blueberries and topped with a delicious crumbly topping. Perfect with a glass of milk on a warm summer day.
An exceptional creamy cheesecake with almonds, roasted apricots and the almond liqueur Amaretto. It has a delicate, velvety texture and two layers of roasted apricots – one at the base and another on top of the cheesecake filling. All the flavours complement
