If you are looking for a simple chocolate pear cake recipe, here is the one! The most time consuming part is melting the butter and chocolate. The rest is mixing all the ingredients together. And the final part is tucking the pears into the batter. And this is it! ALERT NOTE: you do not cut the pears, you DO. NOT. They are the most beautiful part of this cake, especially when served, you will see!
But instead of the coffee and walnut cake, let’s talk about coffee first. This time about cappuccino. Have you ever heard that Italians do not drink cappuccino after 11 am? This is weird but true. And you know the funny part of this whole story? Since when I live in Italy, I got used to it and would hardly have one after 11 am. Do you think you would change your habits? In any case, don’t worry too much. I have some good news for you! (read further)
The cranberry pistachio biscotti turn out really hard (and this is OK!) but they are amazing if dipped into coffee or tea. Or wine. Yes, wine! Although it may sound crazy, Tuscan people eat cantucci dipping them into wine. They are usually served as digestive, and there is quite a number of articles on wines that go along best with cantucci. Have you ever tasted cantucci with wine? Did you like the combination? Let me know in the comments below.
The blueberry zucchini bread is the best you will EVER make. The cake is so quick to make, and because of fresh blueberries and zucchini, the flavor is amazing, and it is so moist, too. There is one thing I can promise here: every bite will be heavenly! I love this bread so much, and I am sure you will, too. Turn the coffee machine on and let’s get a bite!
Time and patience. It is the secret to getting the Lebanese baklava ready. As this is the best baklava recipe of all times, grab a glass of your favorite wine, and let’s get to work. Yes, you will need patience. A lot of patience, but the result will pay it off!
The apple mascarpone cake is sooooo moist and so delicious. What makes it so special? It is the mascarpone cheese. Really GENIUS! There is one thing I A-D-O-R-E about this cake: you do not necessarily have to have apples. No worries if you don’t, you can use the same base yet with other ingredient such as pears or berries, or even chocolate chips. Would you believe me if I said that the apple option is the best?
Chocolate mayonnaise cake. Yes, you read it right. Mayonnaise may be an important ingredient when it comes to making soft and moist cakes. My Grandma has an amazing mayonnaise cookie recipe (she is keeping the recipe secret, by the way) but she has never tried this mayo cake. If you, just like my Grandma, think this does not make a lot of sense, give it a try, and let’s talk about it again once you finish your cake.
This easy lemon drizzle cake is by far my favorite. Sweet and sour because of the zest used in the batter. And let’s not forget the lemon drizzle topping – it is heavenly! Can you imagine the smell? The smell of lemon that makes you get salivate in a nanosecond lol Okay okay, you better get the ingredients ready and we head towards the kitchen!
I dare to say this is the best Italian recipe when it comes to baking. These are really simple to make Sardinian almond cookies that only require a couple of ingredients. I always wanted to make these cookies myself, but was always a bit cautious to using supermarket eggs. I have recently gotten some fresh eggs from the farmer, and the Sardinian almond cookies were the first to come to my mind!
I love baking, and I love easy and quick to make recipes. I had some coconut and was not sure where to use it. Until I came up with this idea to use it to make cookies! I am sure there can be lots of variations when it comes to these coconut cookies. You may add nuts, even jam! I love the cookies the way they are as the recipe is so simple, and the cookies turn so chewy and delicious!
I have decided not to buy anything particular this year (oh this 2020!), but instead to make the cake in a jar / chocolate brownie. A super sweet thing about it is that the fresh ingredients are to be written on a label and attached to the jar. Isn’t it cute? You can even write the Christmas greetings on it, it will definitely make this cake in a jar / chocolate brownie even more pleasant to receive!
It seemed complicated until I tried making sugared cranberries | candied cranberries myself. Oh how super easy it is! And the sugar coating is not a mystery anymore 😀
When I was a kid, my Grandma was baking apple cakes nearly every week. I even have her recipe on the website, click here to check it out. It is one of my favorite apple cakes for sure, but now that I came up with the Ukrainian apple cake recipe, I must admit there are two best apple cake recipes on my favorite recipe list. Yes, the ingredients are pretty much the same, but the dough and so the flavor are completely different.
