Blackberry and Orange Mascarpone Cake
With nearly 1.5 months of travels I’ve been missing my kitchen and what comes out of it. Having a few recipes in store for just such a scenario, I believe it is time to share one of those. After all, it’s been over a month since my last blog update, which makes (yet again) an unforgivably long pause. While the summer is still around, berries are on the dessert menu as this week it is Blackberry and Orange Mascarpone Cake – moist, semi-sweet and lightly zesty. Enjoy! Continue reading
Raspberry, Coconut and Lime Cake
Taking advantage of the berry season while summer is in full swing. This week it’s a simple and flavourful cake with key notes of raspberries, accompanied by zesty lime and milky-sweet coconut. I used frozen raspberries for this recipe as I had some left in the freezer, but fresh berries are as good – if not better. Enjoy! Continue reading

Blueberry Meringue Kisses
Travelling with my visitors around China, I missed last week’s blog update, although I have quite a few things in store by now. I decided to make those melt-in-the-mouth blueberry delights for two simple reasons: blueberry is in season now in Shanghai, and I had 3 egg whites “to get rid of”. Not the worst use of those, I imagine. Continue reading
Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes
This one has been ‘in store’ since January, but I guess the time has finally come. Introducing this week: Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes. I made 2 different versions of those delightful individual treats, try either (or both) with afternoon tea. Another good thing about this dessert – both fresh and frozen berries can be used, so no need to wait for raspberry season. Enjoy! Continue reading
