    Summer cake with strained yogurt and biscuits

    Летен сладкиш с цедено кисело мляко и бисквити

    Before the summer heat passes, I would like to present you a very easy and quick dessert – SUMMER CAKE WITH STRAINED YOGURT AND BISCUITS. Just mix the ingredients and leave to harden in the fridge. And the jam glazing is optional, but it is good to have it, as it gives an extra fruity note and balances the taste. You can also replace the strained yogurt with plain thick yogurt, sour cream or a combination of both. Here’s the recipe and enjoy:

    Quick cake with biscuits and apples from the old culinary notebooks

    Бърз сладкиш с бисквити и ябълки

    Hello, dear chefs! Today we will again have fun with a really easy cake, which was prepared a long time ago and I found in my old culinary notebook without any explanatory steps for preparation – only with the ingredients. It seems that most of the recipes were once only with the ingredients, because everyone knew how to prepare them and did not need much explanation. My favourite expressions “flour to medium soft dough” and “bake / bake in a moderate oven”. They were a complete mystery to me. Very often the flour was even missing in the products, because it implicips… 🙂 But there are no question how to…

    Quick cake with ladyfingers

    Бърза торта с бишкоти

    Cakes can also be quick and at the same time extremely tasty. And just like we make casserole (with whatever we have in the fridge), thus I made this cake. In the fridge I had sour cream, confectionery whipping cream and a packet of cream cheese. I added some chocolate paste, stir and done! The only disadvantage is that it has to stay some time in the fridge so that the ladyfingers can soften and to mix all the flavors. Of course, even more delicious is the next day. If it stays, of course! 🙂 You do not need to follow the recipe exactly. Experiment and you will have a…

    Кекс с кефир/кисело мляко и праскови от компот

    Today I present to you a quick and easy cake with kefir and peaches. I didn’t have kefir and replaced it with yogurt, I didn’t have fresh peaches, so I replaced them with compote peaches.

    Crostata with jam (or Pastry with grated dough)

    Today (Saturday) is a very good day to go back to the recipes from the old cookbooks. I remember this cake from my childhood, but I had completely forgotten it. I happened to see the recipe on Biggie’s culinary blog (“From Biggie’s Kitchen”) and immediately hurried to do it. The taste is just like the old times! 🙂 Here is the recipe: * The blog “From Biggie’s Kitchen” can be found at the following link: https://otkuhnqtanabigi.blogspot.com/.

    Cake with apples and quinces – a recipe from the old notebooks

    Сладкиш с ябълки и дюли

    During my active culinary pursuits (I’d rather say active posting on my modest culinary site), I had the incredible pleasure of meeting many new wonderful and intelligent people. Some of them are in Bulgaria, most of them abroad. In addition to the comments beneath my recipes, an active exchange of new ones began. This is one of them – CAKE WITH APPLES AND QUINCES and it is from the old notebook with recipes of Dimitrina Boeva, my most enthusiastic supporter and critic, every day sharing new recipes and ideas. The cake is very tasty and easy and is extremely suitable for beginners. The greatest effort is in shredding the fruit.…

    “Honey Heart” Cake, the taste of the honey cookies from childhood

    Кейк "Медено сърце"

    Do you like honey cookies? I do. But, honestly, I haven’t eaten in at least 20 years, because the ones that are now sold in the store, like almost everything else, do not have the taste we remember. OK, I know I sound like an aging woman grumbling with nostalgia for the past. But I only grumble about some things, like pastries in the candy shops, vanilla ice cream, grandma’s cheese pies and… honey cookies. One night I wanted to make a quick and easy cake with not so many ingredients and despite half the library full of cookbooks and notebooks with handwritten recipes, I just did a Google search.…

    Cake with plums (without eggs) – recipe

    Кейк със сини сливи

    My husband Theo returned from work later that evening. They had gone out of Sofia on some business and on the way back he bought from the small town of Kresna a bag of nice pink tomatoes and another one – plums, from the round and pink ones. I looked at him strangely because he does not like very much vegetables or fruits, and I assumed he had bought them for me. But apparently for these plums he already had a vision in his head what should happen to them. And he almost painted it for me in words – “a fruit cake, but with larger pieces, you know what…
