Quark Cheesecake with Fresh Cherry Pie Topping
“The world belongs to the energetic.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Yes, I made quark again because the little Cherry and Matcha Cheesecake Pots I recently made were very enticing. I thought I must make the dessert a second time as it was absolutely delicious… that thought changed when I stumbled upon a comment by Magdalena from Tasty Colours on David Lebovitz’s French Tomato Tart. I set off to check her blog. Such a fun discovery. A great blog with pretty pictures, with recipes that made me wander deeper and deeper.

Dobostorta from scratch with the Daring Bakers
“Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence—is the key to unlocking our potential.” Winston ChurchillDobostorta from scratch … The August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. To quote our hosts… The Dobos Torta is a five-layer sponge cake, filled with a rich chocolate buttercream and topped with thin wedges of caramel. (You may come across recipes which have anywhere between six and 12 layers of cake; there are numerous family variations!) It was…
