For my sons birthday party, we had few cakes, and this one was one of them. Kids loved it. It looks very festive and elegant, and it tastes great too. Chocolate base is creamy, like milder version of brownie, so its not overpowering, and top is made with cherry jello, fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. A burst of flavor in every bite. For the cake: 2 eggs 150 gr flour 50 gr cocoa 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 175 gr brown sugar 100 gr butter 50 gr chocolate 1 cup yogurt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon rum Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda. Melt butter and chocolate, and cool for a few minutes. Mix eggs with sugar until thick. Add yogurt, melted butter with chocolate, vanilla and rum. Mix until incorporated. Add sifted dry ingredients. Whisk to combine. Line 24 cm baking pan with parchment paper, pour cake mixture and bake at 325F/165C for about 20 min. Test with toothpick, it should come out clean. For fruit jelly: 2 pack cherry jello 700 ml water (to dissolve jello) 150 gr strawberries 150 gr blueberries 150 gr. raspberries To dissolve jello, follow the instructions on a package, but use 700 ml of water. Add fruit when jello cools down, and do not pour it on the cake until it starts to solidify. If jello is to thin, it will soak into the batter. Cool in the fridge for few hours. Pop the cake ring open, and carefully remove it from the cake.

This is my take on a Black Forest Cherry Cake, a delicious Chocolate Cherry Cake that is filled with whipped cream and cherries, frosted with a chocolate pudding frosting, topped with ganache, and gold cherries. It’s so delicious and beautiful!

Thin layers of genoise sponge and chocolate custard buttercream make up this traditional german cake

This Kalter Hund Recipe (which translates as Cold Dog) is actually a fairly simple no-bake cake . Layers of rich butter cookies and delicious chocolate are assembled (not baked) in a loaf pan… and then it’s stuck in the refrigerator for a few hours. Slice and serve… and wait for the applause.

This delicious chocolate raspberry cake has layers of moist and fudgy chocolate cake sandwiched together with a sweet raspberry filling made from real berries. Then it's frosted with creamy chocolate frosting. This cake looks elegant and tastes grown up.

Dieser Tage jährte sich die Geburtsstunde von Maren Lubbe – Feine Köstlichkeiten zum vierten Mal. Meist habe ich nie viel Aufhebens von meinem ‚Bloggeburtstag‘ gemacht und daran sollte sich auch diesmal nicht viel ändern 😉 . Doch es ist eine Zeit, in der ich dann öfter als sonst an meine Anfänge hier zurückdenke. Sehe mir dann meine Entwicklung an – manchmal wohlwollend, manchmal kritisch. In den letzten vier Jahren habe ich viel gelernt – In jeder Hinsicht – über’s Fotografieren, über’s Backen, über Zwischenmenschliches und vieles rund um die sogenannte Bloggerszene. Man lernt auch vieles über sich selbst beim Bloggen. Wie gehe ich mit Lob, Kritik und Neid um? Was erwarten meine LeserInnen? Nach welchen Kritierien wähle ich eigentlich Rezepte aus? Was stellt mein Hobby mit meinem Privatleben an? Müsste ich mehr Kooperationen eingehen? Fragen, auf die ich im Laufe der Jahre wohl oftmals unterschiedliche Antworten gegeben hätte. Heute stehe ich hier: Das Backen ist und bleibt meine Leidenschaft (wer hätte das gedacht 😀 ! ) • Ich versuche mich Herausforderungen zu stellen (mit unterschiedlichem Erfolg 😉 ) • Ich experimentiere unwahrscheinlich gern und lasse dann auch nicht so schnell locker. • Ich selber setze bzw. lasse mich leider viel zu schnell unter […]

Rustic yet elegant, you're going to love this simple autumn apple cake! It's light, moist with juicy apples and full of warm spices like cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon. This is the perfect cake to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea on those cool fall mornings.

Thank you guys so much for playing the game the other day and giving me great suggestions for B’s birthday cake. He was a bit shocked I did not have any of my own – the truth is I had too many and after staring at them for a few days, none seemed that fun…

I know there are some out there that just don't sweets. I'm not one of them and I suspect if I tried to tell you that you'd probably all laugh quite loudly as my predilection for cakes and sweet is rather obviously catalogued in this blog. For some though, a piece of sweet cake isn't quite as enticing as a savoury one and for them I offer this recipe, an alternative cake which you can make large, and is more often made large for gatherings.
