A plain chocolate cake with icing can be a little dry. Sometimes even a little boring. The Sachertorte is in a class of its own though. With its tangy jam, soft chocolate mousse and the heavy chocolate coating.
At one point I was getting a bit tired of chocolate cakes. Yes it is hard to believe, but it can happen. Fortunately, I discovered the Sachertorte which extended the live of chocolate cakes in this home.
This recipe is a classic for a reason. It is actually old and classic enough that it is not using chemical leavening. It raises with the help of the whipped egg whites alone.

Video Recipe - I had churros first the time when I was 14, on a holiday in Spain. It must have been good because I have long forgotten my first kiss, which I think was roughly around the same time but I can still remember my first funnel cake with sugar.

Pepper Nuts is a classic recipe with roots in the Middle Ages. With typical medieval spices. When a court has survived as long as it is not a coincidence. It is simple but good cakes that taste of July So it's not a recipe I made ??up. I have it from Jeanette, who has it from her grandmother, and now you have it too :-)

Shortbread is a funny cookie. It is literally the most simple cake recipe there is! Only 3 ingredients. I do not think you can make a recipe more simple than that and then get something edible out of it, that can be called a cake. For me, this is the "Ground Zero" of the cakes. Where it all starts. All other cakes are variations of it. Well ok. That is perhaps not the entirely right, but it only takes 5 minutes to bake, and can be eaten with jam or other sweet spreads.

I had to make cake for a school event for my oldest daughter Caroline. And could not bear to make that many cupcakes. I'm not always too thrilled about the usual "school cakes" we have here in Denmark. So I decided to make a cross between a triple chocolate muffins and a plain pound cake. As fate would have it, I only had drained Greek yogurt instead of the plain yogurt, That I used to have in the fridge. So I was a little skeptical. But it turned out to be one of my very best efforts. A spongy chocolate flavor that is not too sweet.

Video Recipe - When using puff pastry you often have leftovers. Instead of throwing them out, you can make Palmiers. Small cute palm leaves. And yes. It's worth the effort. You could probably buy half a sack full in the supermarket for no money, but they will not be made with butter.

My mother did for a long time bake one of the great classic Christmas cakes. A plum cake. With lots of alcohol and dried fruits. It is not for everyone, but I love it, and my dear wife is completely crazy about it. So here is the recipe that my mom wrote down for me.

A recipe I made by accident. I tried to make a coconut sponge cake. It was a bit bland. So I thought about how it could be pepped up. "Pineapple tastes well with coconut" i thought. Just like the pina coladas I had on holidays. So I made a thick pineapple syrup and poured it over. That made it really good.

With bottom, cheeses both, fruit and jelly is shown a traditional Danish cake, even though it exists in a multitude of versions. My favorite is the one with whole cherries in jelly on top. The yellow cheeses both and burgundy gel is also beautifully together.

Video recipe - Peanut-date-balls have a taste that is similar to snickers. But not as sweet. It is a really good recipe to make with the kids. It is easy and quick enough that they don't lose their interest along the way. And they love how it tastes.
