Spring baking

Yes, I know it does not show, but I've been spending quite some time in the kitchen. However, by the time I get around setting up my camera there is nothing left to capture :). In my opinion, this is always a good thing, don't you agree?.

So, these are some of my latest baked goods. First, a walnut and coffee caramel Pavlova. This one is highly addictive and has become my favorite from all the Pavlova family :).

Then, a very special orange chocolate cake for a good friend's birthday. It's a combination of dark chocolate cake and orange mousse which was born from his idea of something sweet. I wish everyone a beautiful spring!

Sacher Torte

What's better than a slice of this chocolate Austrian staple dessert to help you face the cold outside? There are many recipes of which to be inspired but I chose a simple one..just because, sometimes, simplicity tastes divine. All you need is just some good quality dark chocolate, favourite jam (in my case, grandma's apricot jam- which also helps temper the sweetness of this cake) and you are good to go.
