Simple Nut Cake (Very Old Recipe)

This very simple nut cake was passed on to me. It was passed on by another user from the German platform nebenan.de. I didn’t specifically ask her for this recipe, but she wanted to introduce me to this recipe from her great grandmother she is still making regularly. Of course I was happy to receive said recipe. Especially in fall and winter I do enjoy a simple nut cake. As is often the case with old recipes, there were no instructions. I simply assumed that it follows the regular creaming method, which means that you first beat butter with sugar, add eggs and lastly flour and all other dry ingredients. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised how nice it tasted. I believe adding milk makes it so moist and delicious.

So far no success, but finally, when I made this recipe, I was so happy with the result and alas, today you get this recipe as well.

Baci di Dama or Lady’s Kisses from Italy

Baci di Dama oder Damenküsse aus Italien

Baci di dama are heavenly cookies, a touch like a feather. These Italian cookies literally translate as a kiss by a lady. If you look at the profile of these cookies, they look like a set of lips wishing to kiss you. I really like this picturesque name which does tell you a lot what these cookies are going to taste like. Roasted hazelnuts are combined with buttery shortbread, which is sandwiched together by delicious melted chocolate. Baci di dama are perfect as a giveaway, superb for a coffee break and simply to enjoy.

German Nut Triangles

Super saftige Nussecken

These German nut triangles are one of my favorite desserts from Germany. I just learned recently that you supposedly only serve them during Christmas season in some regions of Germany. However, I remember seeing them everywhere all year round, every bakery had them at least where we lived. Even the school kiosk offered them all the time and I happily ate them day in and day out.

Cherry Hazelnut Cake

This cherry hazelnut cake is glutenfree and soooo delicious! I especially like the fact that it works well with frozen cherries. I have been longing for fresh fruit and this is the perfect cake during winter, which has been dragging on. Maybe that’s why I got so excited and took more pictures than usual. I just need some fresh color and fruits!
