Are you looking for recipes perfect for Easter? Look no further. You will get waffles, pancakes, anything with yeast, cake, as well as savory dishes. Below you will find 30 recipes selected for Easter specifically.
Wow, I believe I was naive. When I asked you if you would be interested in my Easter cookies, 82% of you replied postively when I asked you on Instagram. I honestly didn’t expect that. Unfortunately, cookies are usually only baked during the winter and Christmas season in Germany. We even have a special word for it “Plätzchen” instead of ‘Kekse.” I love cookies all year round and for that reason published a cookie recipe recently. In February I introduced you to chocolate chip cookies with whisky. But apparently Easter is the big exception and even Germans don’t mind a cookie during this season, so yay, cookie time it is. As is often the case, I also shipped some cookies to some friends of mine who can’t bake anymore or simply don’t have time. The ones pictured were shipped one way or another. Today I will introduce the three types of cookies you see pictured below. These are hazelnut cookies as rabbites, lemon cookies with lemon curd, also shown as rabbits, and lambs and Easter eggs, which are sugar cookies with royal icing. I made the hazelnut and lemon cookies as sandwich cookies, glued together with hazelnut cream or lemon curd. They are similar to Linzer cookies. Since I didn’t have the correct cookie cutters for Linzer, I cut out the hole with a nozzle.
Are you also baking cookies for the season? I was and it is so much fun! You especially seem to like my new recipe for spritz cookies without a cookie press. Below I give you a lot of new ideas (including previious years of my cookie plate) so that you have an abundance of cookies available. Have fun baking!
Servus! Since the Oktoberfest 2024 is around the corner, I wanted to introduce you to another classic from Bavaria, Zwetschgenknödel, which translates as plum dumpling. You will realize that during the Oktoberfest a lot of desserts and pastries are sold and super popular, another typical one is the broken-up pancake called Kaiserschmarrn, a twin of the recipe from today is made with apricots and thus would translate as apricot dumplings. So far I have only made these famous dumplings with cream cheese or sour cream, but the real deal is actually made with cooked potatoes. So far I have refrained from it as it can be pretty finicky. It tends to be rather sticky and hard to work with. But below I offer some tricks so that you can enjoy this wonderful Bavarian classic.
Are you as excited as I am about apricots, peaches, and nectarines? When I was on holiday in Spain, there was such a variety available and usually a Euro per kilo. Obviously I bought and bought and baked and baked. Yes, finally peach season is also happening in Germany even though a kilo costs much more than one Euro. Below you will find 14 recipes, which I all enjoy and have made numerous times. I hope you find something you like.

Have I mentioned that my hubby is a huge fan of citrus fruits? I will admit, I don’t mind them either. It probably comes as no surprise then that I have tons of recipes on my blog with a citrus touch. I love any fresh and yellow, especially in winter. I also don’t mind the vitamins (yeah, I know, we are still talking about cake). I learned not that long ago that lemons, limes and the like are usually harvested in winter, sometimes in January or February. For that reason I thought it might be a good time to share 16 recipes with these fruits, I hope you find something you enjoy!
#1 Lemon Mousse or Lemon Posset
This dessert comes together in minutes and just looks great in the lemons!
Today I am doing a recap, 12 recipes with apples. I normally don’t like to eat a plain apple just like that, but I am all in, especially in fall and winter when it comes to apple slices in porridge, somehow app by les are extra perfect for this occasion. This year we got to do apple picking already. Some farms close to Munich offer this option. We went to the Holzerhof in Ismaning (I am not paid to mention this). You can pick apples as well as plums and it is a super pleasant experience. When you get there, they will let you know which type of apple you may find where and then let you to it, so you are free to try whatever apple type you want. I took home quite a big batch and had to make a lot of things with apples. So for that reason let me give you my 12 favorite reipces with apples:
Cakes and Cupcakes
#1 Apple Almond Cake, you will find apples inside the dough as well as part of a compote. The topping contains another apple for decoration.
I probably sound like a broken record, but dulce de leche is as popular in Latin America as is Nutella in Europe. This caramel is made from milk and sugar. You will find plentiful recipes featuring dulce de leche. It may be used as a filling or it will serve as a thin layer. It can be a simple dollop served with flan. You will be able to spread it on bread (just like Nutella) or you can simply eat it by the spoonful. I am telling you, there is a reason why this caramel is so popular. Today I will introduce twelve recipes from Latin America containing dulce de leche, one is from Russia. So which recipe is your favorite?
Let’s first start with the basic recipe for dulce de leche:
