Kladdkaka, or swedish chocolate cake



Literally translated as mud cake. Chocolate mud. Yum!
Want to make someone happy with your baking? That's a right recipe to choose.

Tastes heavenly with whipped cream.
Personally, I prefer it with vanilla ice cream or cold just from the fridge (will resemble brownies a little).
The Linda's version I make here is without flour, so those who avoid gluten could be satisfied as well.

Princesstårta, or Princess Cake


I was waiting for a day, when I will make my first Princesstårta - traditional Swedish cake with cream, marzipan and jam. And I made it, in Sweden! Haha

Recipes can vary, every family has developed its very own taste. This one will be with raspberries - not jam, pure unfrozen raspberries, collected in the forest.

Ukrainian Poppy Seed Cake


Celebrating orthodox Christmas is always different from the "normal" Christmas. Nothing points on marshmallows and gingerbread. The traditional Ukrainian Christmas species are poppy seeds, lemon, walnuts and honey. Those are everywhere, like ginger, nutmeg or cinnamon mixtures you know. 

This recipe I took from the Internet, didn't have time calling my mom for the original one. But it is very similar and easy to modify, if some dairy products are not available in your country. I was surprised how hard it is to find poppy seeds in Sweden, in big bags like in Ukraine. Not cheap either. 

Light taste, sour and sweet, keeps its shape perfectly. I am sure, your guests will be pleased having this gorgeous cake with a cup of black tea.

Blueberry pie with meringue


This is one of my favourite cakes. Easy, fast and gorgeous looking. Got it from my subscription to CookingPalette.
All the times I have done it was with gluten free flour. Some of you know it is pretty tricky to deal with, but buttery pastry is bearable.

Clementines cake


There are absolutely no people, who would not like this cake. It is totally gluten-free, surprisingly. And still super delicious!

Moist and semi-sweet, works really well with a spoonful of vanilla ice-cream.
