Hi guys and happy Food Friday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
with the beginning of June the strawberry season has finally started too. I don´t know what it is about this delicious little berry but whether you are making juice, cake or jam out of it or you are eating them pure they are so so good.

And the smell guys. Sometimes I wish I could capture the smell for you. The strawberry field smelled so sweet!!!

Since I am not a real fruit lover I do have my exceptions when it comes to strawberries (or raspberries, pineapples or melons).

We picked about 8 pounds so the first thing I did when I got home was making dough for a strawberry pie (and the leftover strawberries where cut for jam but this recipe is coming next week then).


Here are the ingredients:


for the dough
3 cups of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
3/4 cup butter not melted


– mix the ingredients together until your are having a sticky dough
– then put some flour onto a clean area in your kitchen
– knead the dough with your hands until everything is combined just fine


-take a rolling pin and roll out dough evenly
– take a cup in the size you like and cut out round pieces 


– I made all the little dough pieces below from one dough so this really is enough
– let them cool down for about 15 minutes
– spread a mixture of confectioners sugar and heavy cream on top and bake for about 20 minutes by 160° degrees


for the strawberries:
– 750 gramms of strawberries
– 2 spoons of sugar


– marinade the strawberries with the sugar and let them rest


for the heavy cream
– take as much heavy cream as you like and whip it until its really solid
(you can make the test by flipping your bowl – if it doesn´t come out the consistency is great (but be careful or you are producing quite the mess)


Now head to your nearest strawberry field and get your fix for the weekend.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

….


Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am sharing another recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth over here today. There aren´t too many great dishes than a warm and delicious slice of banana bread straight out of the oven.

In fact I don´t like bananas. Never liked them, never ate them. But I thought I might give the recicpe a shot since this really is the hit for so many ocassions and so easy to make.

Ingredients:
– 250 gr. flour
– 1 stick butter
– 1 tbl spoon baking powder
– 1 tbl spoon corn starch
– 150 gr. sugar
 – 2 eggs
– 300 gr. bananas (make sure they are overripe for the sweetness)
– 60 gr. sour cream
– pinch of salt
– vanilla paste 


– whisk together melted butter and sugar
– add eggs, bananas, sour cream and vanilla
– add the flour, baking powder and corn starch to the batter
– make sure all the ingredients are nicely combined

– bake for 50 minutes at 170 ° degrees

If you are using small loaf pans like I did be sure to adjust the baking time.

I am going to be MIA for today since there is a lot of preparation for tonight going on. I might share some on my Insta stories so be sure to check that (@madame_schischi).


Meanwhile you could try this awesome cake.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

 we are in the middle of BBQ season so I am sharing some I am sharing a bunch of easy and quick side dishes the next weeks. Today´s recipe can´t be exceeded in its simplicity. A super easy and super quick Greek Summer Salad.


You need 5 ingredients:
– 1 cucumber
– 1 glass of black olives
– a pound of tomatoes
– 1 piece of feta cheese
– 2 or 3 purple onions (I like the purple ones better for eating them raw cause they aren´t as spicy as the white ones)


Cut everything into small pieces (depends on how you like to eat it) and mix it togehter in a big bowl.


For seasoning I just used two table spoons of simple freeze-dried salad herbs and olive oil as required.
Mix everything together (that´s how you get a better feel of how much olive oil you need).

We are going to have a BBQ on Saturday so stay tuned for more recipes. 

Have a nice Friday. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate link / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I wanted to share another recipe on the blog with you today. Since Mother´s Day is on Sunday and you don´t have enough time left to get a gift why not make a beautiful and tasty cake by yourself ?!
It is too hard and won´t taste good you think ? Don´t be too hard on yourself. With a little patience and dedication it will work.

These are two super quick and easy recipes for the dough and the frosting I am posting today. 


Ingredients for the dough:
– 5 eggs
– 100 gr. sugar
– 250 gr. butter
– 100 gr. confectioners sugar sifted
– pinch of salt
– lemon zest 
– 100 gr. flour
– 100 gr. corn starch
– 1 tblsp. baking soda

Ingredients frosting:

– 250 grams white chocolate melted and cooled 
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
– 320 grams butter soft
– 2 cups of confectioners sugar sifted 
– 450 grams cream cheese in room temperature

Decor:
– marzipan roses
– sugar flowers 

Direction for the batter:
– mix the sugar, eggs, butter, confectioners sugar and lemon zest until creamy 
– add the flour, baking soda, corn starch and salt
– let it mix the batter for about 3 minutes

– take two small baking pans and spread the butter evenly
– bake for 45 minutes on 165° degrees

Directions for the frosting:
– melt the chocolate until creamy
– put the butter out of the fridge so it gets soft
– when chocolate isn´t hot anymore but still creamy and butter is soft put all the ingredients for the frosting together and mix for about 3 minutes
– put the frosting into the freezer for about 5 minutes
– add frosting onto your cake, layer by layer 

and garnish how you like.

Happy baking guys. If there are any questions left feel free to ask.
