Cheesecake!

This recipe calls for 1 kg of cream cheese, which made J winced and suggested that this first time should also be the last time we try such a luxurious recipe xD

My delicious slice of cheesecake with whipped cream (that wasn't whipped so well ;P) and a dollop of strawberry jam (The blueberry jam wasn't on discount promotion that week :P)

The magic blatterteig :D

Blatterteig or instant pie dough is so practical and I found out we could make so many kind of foods with it!
I've written how to make a simplistic apple strudel using it.
Other possibilities would be to make torta ai ricotta e spinaci like this :

or cheese sticks!

Chocolate cake

This is another chocolate cake recipe which needs just one bowl (just pour everything in there :D) and no mixer is necessary.
The texture is rather dry though compared to the banana chocolate cake one.

I forgot to add the hazelnut chunks as the topping xD
So, as I added them when the cake was halfway baked, they didn't stick to the cake :P

Banana chocolate cake

This recipe is super duper easy, no need to use a mixer, and makes a very tasty moist "brownies kukus" like cake ;D

The whole cake:

I used angled cake pan, therefore the uneven surface (and cracks everywhere xD).

A slice of it with lots of whip cream topping :9
