Today we have to drink and celebrate. What are we celebrating? That it’s summer and holiday season, the fact that we paid our bills, we’ll find something. :)))) I found several recipes for this cocktail, all of which are a combination of rum (Bacardi and Captain Morgan), coconut flavored rum (Malibu), and pineapple juice, plus/minus
I didn’t have time to bake a cake, but I ate Portokalopita at the mall, which is why I looked for the recipe, because at some point I will reproduce it myself. It’s like baklava, it’s just as sweet, but instead of walnut and syrup pie pastry, we have phyllo with a yogurt cream and
Biscotti or cantucci are Italian almond biscuits, which you have to soak in coffee or tea, otherwise you risk breaking your teeth in them. :))) The specifics of them, besides having whole almonds in them, are the fact that they are baked twice. Something that I did not understand the first time, but which in
Celebrate your inner woman with a decadent tart with lemon cream, a generous layer of whipped cream and mascarpone and fresh fruit garnish. 🙂 Chef’s work, of course. The disaster of me just wrote the recipe. 😛 Shortcut pastry: 200g flour, 100g butter, 1 egg yolk, 30g sugar, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon
When you go to visit friends and instead of coffee you get a glass of Hugo and cake, it means that it was a successful visit, which must be repeated. 😛 Hugo is a cocktail that appeared in 2005 in South Tyrol and is slightly alcoholic. You need prosecco, elderberry syrup, soda or mineral water
Morning from 2022! We start the year strong, with recycled leftovers of cakes and other stuff in the fridge, to make room for the next disaster! 😀 😛 From last year I had to try a recipe for dessert from Aunt Martha Stewart. The classic trifle is actually an English recipe and consists of a
Jó reggelt kívánok or morning! From today until Christmas, you can try the best Transylvanian cake every day, Zserbó – Jerbo, Gerbeaud, Greta Garbo or a five-sheet walnut cake, as my grandmother wrote in her recipe book. The cake is named after Emil Gerbeaud, a Swiss confectioner, chocolate maker and entrepreneur of Hungarian descent, who
If you have the time and ingredients, here’s a quick chocolate cake recipe. 🙂 Just right for coffee. 😛 It’s a classic cake, with a cocoa sponge and a ganache cream, plus some fruit on top for the artistic impression. 😛 We had strawberries, you use what you have. Ingredients for the sponge: 4 eggs,
Because it is the autumn fruit season, today we have a plum cake, a disaster that is easy to make and super delicious. 😛 Basically, we have a sponge cake that we combine with some plums. If you don’t want plums, you can use pears or other seasonal fruits. For sponge cake we need 4
Meringue black cake is the cake our mother used to make for us from time to time, with a cocoa sponge and a soft meringue on top. Ingredients: 10 eggs, 10 tablespoons caster sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa, 6 tablespoons oil, baking powder. For the sponge, beat 6 egg whites with 6 tablespoons
Well, it should have been a sour cherry strudel. I just didn’t have the time and desire to roll out the dough, so I turned to the puff pastry supply in the freezer. It turned out to be a medium-sized, slightly burnt disaster (because of the oven, not me, lol), with some fruit and the
Today at coffee we have sponge cake (chec in Romanian), the best and simplest local cake, which our mother makes us since childhood. The cake I know is fluffy, white and cocoa top, with/ without nuts and that melts in your mouth. Yes, a super delicious disaster! 😛 Ingredients: 8 eggs, 8 tablespoons oil, 1
Real Tiramisu, made by Chef, the classic recipe. With biscuits, coffee with Amaretto or Marsala and egg cream with mascarpone and sugar, covered with a generous layer of cocoa. First mentioned in a cookbook in the Venetian region, in 1983 and invented somewhere in the 60’s and 70’s, tiramisu in Italian means “take me/ get
With wild thyme or Breckland thyme. Today in the category #cakesandcoffee we have a recipe for communion with the surrounding nature. From the hills of Dumbrăvița. 🙂 I don’t know if you’re a tea drinker. In our family, it is one of the drinks used almost all the time, not only in the cold season
Today’s recipe is a quick disaster, assuming you have some puff pastry in the fridge or freezer. If it’s in the freezer, you have to be patient to defrost it – the quickest and most effective way is to leave it in the fridge overnight. From the dough you will cut squares 12 × 12
May March be as sweet as today’s tea. 😛 😀 🙂 In our family disaster we drink tea quite often, but they are generally herbal teas. If they are picked with your personal hands, even the better. 🙂 Burnt sugar tea or caramel tea was drunk in the camps and in the mountains, because caramel
Childhood cake. Slightly sweet according to our current preferences, but disastrously good. 😀 This time I respected the quantities of the ingredients, but next time I would reduce the amount of sugar in the icing to 100g instead of 150g; and I think that in the dough it could be halved as well. And if
It was actually Bourbon Coffee, but on looking closer, I came to the conclusion that the basis is the classic Irish Coffee recipe. 🙂 For 6 servings you need 6 cups of hot coffee, 6 tablespoons of caster sugar and 6 tablespoons of bourbon. Pour the coffee into each cup, add the sugar and alcohol
Cappuccino with whipped cream, Kapuziner, café Viennois or Viennese cappuccino, probably appeared in the Austro-Italian parts in the 18th century. And one of the Habsburg legacies. 🙂 Cappuccino is a drink made up of three parts: a shot of espresso, a shot of hot milk and a part of milk foam. A total of 150-180
Maybe you’re wondering what Chef is up to these days? He’s dealing with cakes. :))))) This recipe came in handy, because otherwise I would have had to stress you with a coffee with amaretto or maybe a fruit tart… But don’t worry, we’ll see in the next episode… 🙂 So today we have a clean
I don’t know if you made ‘papaleașcă’ aka mud as a child, it’s extremely simple: some sand, some water, mix and you’re done, you can eat! 😛 😀 A similar principle applies to this simple cake, except that instead of sand you mix what you find in the fridge. 😀 More precisely, leftover fruits and
In its native language, Biskuit-Pfirsich-Schnitten, it is a refreshing, diet cake (ok, semi, you will immediately see why: P) and slightly alcoholic. :))))) Perfect for coffee. And good for breakfast (because it’s 5 o’clock somewhere in the world anyway :D). Well, to better understand, this cake has no added sugar, but it is disastrously sweet.
