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!

Upside down warm apple cake

Since the cold season is nowhere near the end, I still feel like using cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg when baking. So, why not marry this flavours with their beloved apples?! Yup, I did it and there you have it..a warm apple toffee cake. Did I mention the toffee?! Crazy, crazy delicious! Best topped with some vanilla icecream when still hot from the oven!

Cantuccini

These italian biscotti are my mom's favourites along with her morning coffee. Lately she did not find them in the supermarket and so I decided to bake them for her. The result, she said, is better than those from the bag :D! They are really crispy and go perfectly with coffee or tea.

Greek doughnuts

This type of doughnuts are very common in greek cuisine and are known as loukoumades. I usually like honey and walnuts as topping for my pancakes. But why not use this tasty combination on top of some orange flavoured doughnuts?! Simply delicious!
