ANOTHER CHOCOLATE CAKE

This is another chocolate cake with a red marmelade layer and a white chocolate topping with coloured sprinkles. 

VLAAIEN

I know what you best be thinking.. this thing looks weeeeiirrrd!!     This is a recipe from my grandmother that she has been making since before I was born.  It's a combination of "speculoos, peperkoek en mastellen". 

CHOCOLATE CAKE

I don't even want to tell you how much chocolate went into this cake.  To finish it off I felt it just needed that little bit more chocolate so I covered the whole thing with a layer of abricot marmeade AND chocolate sprinkles!!

ORANGE CAKE

This orange cake has orange zest in the cake with a orange sirope drizzled on top. 

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

This is an exploded round brownie, I know it's normally a square but I thought why not..  It also crumbled when I started to cut into it so that explains the exploded look. 

APPLE PIE

I must admit that I have a weak spot for apple dishes but this one is brilliant .. I could gladly eat the whole pie in one afternoon.   This actually means that I keep on opening and closing the fridge to attack it with my fork :-) 

ALMOND STRAWBERRY SLICE

A nice crumbly base with a marmelade filing and crushy almond topping.  Just a perfect team to completely make your fingers stick! 

CHOCOLATE SURPRISE

I called it a surprise as you can hardly call it a chocolate biscuit with a chocolate dollop on it.  It's a simple chocolate cookie, a chocolate ganache with orange licqueur and some sweetened orange peel on top.

PEACH CAKE

A peach cake made for my colleagues for my birthday.  After the cake cooled off I covered it with marmelade so it would not get dry.  It made the top quite sticky but it gave extra flavour to the fresh peaches on top. 

HOMEMADE CHERRY PIE

I had kilos of cherries from my grandmother's garden during the summer months so I decided to make a homemade cherry pie.  Made pastry from scratch and filled it with cherries and almonds. 

RASPBERRY PASTRY

I got this idea from one of my good food magazines, as always I did slightly change the recipe.  I didn't have fresh strawberries so I filled the pastry with frozen forest berries.  It's ideal with some fresh fruit and some vanilla ice cream.   

APPLE SPECULOOS PIE

A crusty sweet base, layers and layers of apples with a few spoons of apple sauce to make it moist and a crusty topping of speculoos.  Absolutely delish!   Speculoos is a cookie which is super popular in Belgium.

I also heard that they give it on the plane of an American airline but I'm not sure which one..

ALMOND CUPCAKE WITH MARMELADE

This cute almond cupake has a sweet soul, a soul of red marmelade ..

ALMOND COOKIE WITH ICING

A cookie base with a marsipan filling on top which is covered with a thin layer of icing.

MADELEINES

This is a classic French dessert, it's super easy to make but it looks so adorable in that typical madelein shape.
