Baking enthusiast from Prague sharing recipes.
For quite some time I was looking forward to bake something from yeast dough again. From two reasons. First is I love yeast dough pastries, they might be my favourite type of pastries.

I caught myself thinking “I should bake something so that I have something to blog about”. When I started my blog, this was something I promised myself I will try to avoid.

The quark layer is … Continue reading Quark cake with crumbs
I saw this beauty on Cloudy Kitchen’s Instagram and I knew I had to find the recipe on her blog and try it. The ingredients themselves (ricotta, olive oil, chocolate, almonds) are so tasty, it simply has to be a delicious cake! Similarly to banana bread, it is also very easy and quick to make. Ingredients (for one loaf) … Continue reading Ricotta loaf with chocolate
