vegan choc-choc cherry muffins
The other day I wanted to bake but there were no ingredients except cherries and tofu. So I gave it a shot at vegan muffins. I think they turned out pretty goof for a first shot. I quickly searched the net for how one would go about for a vegan version of muffins and I ended up with a mixture of tofu, oil and water. It may sound strange to use tofu for baking sweet goods, but it worked out surprisingly well. I ended up with 10 muffins – and filled up each mold completely. I believe these ones work very well with any fruit – but cherries and chocolate are definitely worth a try! They taste interestingly different. Well worth a try. I will definitely try more vegan muffin recipes soon.

I love meringues. And they are so easy to make (if you are a bit patient). Meringes come in various sizes and shapes. These fit your standard muffin tins! Enjoy.
Read Morecupavci – or Lamingtons?
I experienced these one day about a month ago – unexpectedly - at a barbecue. They caught my eye right away. But first barbecue, I thought. Wrong decision. Once I tried them, I didn’t want to stop. This is what is goint to happen to you: you see those squares, you pick them up. They feel quite heavy. But once you have your first bite, you will be surprised how soft and juicy they are. It is incredible. And then they lure you into taking another one, and one more [...]
This is apparently a Croatian recipe – cupavci meaning coconut squares . Try them, they are worth the effort!
correction: Melrose just pointed out that cupavci actually means wuscheln (~to tousle) in Germany, and that definitely does not mean coconut square, thanks Melrose. She also traced the origins back to Australia. What an interesting travel they made!
Read Morestrawberry-rhubarb crumble
Rhubarb and strawberry. May. Spring. There is no better combination than this. Believe me. I instantly felt warm and happy inside when I came across 101cookbooks to see this recipe. It took another two weeks until, finally, strawberries and rhubarb of decent quality were available at my local bio store. So here we go. No modifications were needed for this one. Well, I left out the port wine though and did skip the pepper she calls for.
Read Morebuttermilk-berry muffins
These are really bursting from buttermilk and berry taste. Don’t skip the lemon zest, this makes all the difference. The dough will be coarse, a bit like cookie dough so you will be able to spoon it nicely into the muffin cups. My only adjustment to this recipe was to use spelt flour instead of all-purpose flour and lemon zest instead of orange zest. I do believe that this makes them even more fluffy, but I do not have the comparison as of yet.
