It’s getting nuts again. I have been looking for a low carb and paleo-friendly chocolate cake. Previously, I shared my recipe for the paleo hazelnut chocolate fudge with you. I wanted to elevate this recipe to another – calorie-dense and yet outstandingly delicious – level. Here comes the nutty chocolate cake. It’s relatively low carb and paleo-friendly.
An eclair with chestnut cream will be the dessert of my 3-course menu for Christmas. It works in the menu but also as a delicious wintery dish on a stand-alone basis. I have a main article with the complete 3-course menu for you here. Also here are the links to the starter (creamy mushroom soup with chestnuts) and the main dish (Beef Wellington with mushrooms and chestnuts).

I’m constantly pursuing my newly found love for sweet things. As this mainly evolves around baked goods, today’s recipe is a raspberry cake. To be precise a very neat low carb raspberry cake. As full disclosure, I didn’t bake the cake but assisted my editor in chief during the whole process. We had a good time and later on a delicious low carb raspberry cake!
I’m not the person with the biggest sweet tooth out there. To my big surprise, I’m making huge progress in that department. Nevertheless, I’ve got a big addiction to dark chocolate and cheesecake, especially cheesecake! After stumbling over Alpro’s vegan version of low-fat cottage cheese (here’s my review about it) by accident, my editor in chief and myself have been thinking about doing some baking experiments with the product. In today’s blog post I’ll share the first one of Continue Reading…
Es gibt ein weiteres leckeres Rezept von mir, welches ich gerne mit euch teilen möchte. Dieses mal handelt es sich um Muffins und Cupcakes. Genauer gesagt machen wir heute Nutella Muffins. Doch vorher etwas zur Geschichte von Cupcakes und Muffins. 🙂 Cupcakes und Muffins Die Geschichte der industriellen Herstellung dieser Gebäckform begann kurz nach Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs. Die US-amerikanische Firma Hostess Brands brachte einen in Plastik verpackten Schokoladen-Cupcake auf den Markt und verkaufte diesen in Lebensmittelläden in den Continue Reading…
Muffins are one of my favorite baked goods and I love them because they are so versatile (see Chocolate Chip Muffin with Pumpkin Purée) and you can easily transform almost any baking recipe into a muffin recipe. As I am training and eating a lot, it sometimes becomes a little difficult to eat enough protein to give my muscles the fuel they need. I don’t want to consistently drink protein shakes (even if I enjoy them a lot!). And Continue Reading…
Warum eigentlich backen? Noch zu Schulzeiten konnte ich mich irgendwie nie dafür begeistern, doch es lag mir besser als zu kochen. Irgendwann kam dann alles von alleine. 🙂 Mal hier was probiert, mal da etwas neues getestet. Mit dem Weihnachtsmarkt kam dann die absolute Begeisterung und ich versuchte mein Glück mit Weihnachtsgebäck. Das wurde leider kein Verkaufshit. Das Jahr danach versuchte ich dann mein Glück mit Cupcakes. Im Januar 2015 fing ich an mit Fondant Torten herzustellen und nahm Continue Reading…
Fall is not only the perfect season for various soups (such as my low carb shredded chicken soup) but also a great time for everything pumpkin related. In all honesty, I am not a person with a very sweet tooth. I’ve never really been one. Nevertheless, this has changed to a certain extent over the past few years. Especially cupcakes and muffins grew dear to my heart. That’s why I want to share a very delicious recipe for chocolate chip muffins with Continue Reading…
