I’m happy and proud. This cake is not just tasty but very cute 🙂 It was made for my daughter’s 5th birthday. But presenting it only now because somewhere at this time my blog is celebrating 3 year old birthday and at the same time I celebrated my birthday anniversary. But this year birthday was different – I didn’t do anything, just celebrated 🙂

Calories: 273 kcal / serving
Ingredients:
- Almond sponge:
- 3 eggs
- 110 g icing sugar
- 110 g almonds, ground
- 15 g cocoa
- 25 g butter, melted
- 30 g flour
- 100 g (~3 units) egg whites

- 500 g mascarpone
- 375 ml cream, 36% fat
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
- 100 g white chocolate
- 100 g sugar
- For sponge watering:
- 250 ml cherry compote, homemade and not diluted
Directions:
- Sponge baking: Beat eggs with the sugar powder and grind almonds, while mixture will be fluffy and will double. Carefully mix in cold melted butter and flour, sifted with cacao. Beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar, till stiff foam. Carefully mix in egg whites to the mixture. Line baking form 24cm diameter with baking paper. Pour in mixture and bake in preheated till 180°C oven about 30 minutes (check with wooden pick). Let cool and then cut into 3 parts.
- Preparing cream: Mix marcapone with 50 g of sugar and vanilla. Leftover sugar gradually mix in to beating cream. On steam melt chocolate. Mix marcarpone mixture with chocolate and then mix in cream.
- Cake gathering: Put first sponge layer on a cake plate. Put cake form borders around it. Water sponge with compote and put on the top one-third of the mascarpone cream. Then put second sponge layer. Push slightly with hands, water with compote and put second layer of cream (also one-third). Put the last sponge layer, and also water with compote. On top put some mascarpone cream, but not all – leave some for sides of cake. Put cake to the refrigerator for 2 hours or more. Later take off borders and cover sides with the leftovers of mascarpone cream. Decorate cake with fantasy. In this case I used beaten cream, melted chocolate with some cream, sprinkles and cookie decorating glaze.
- Enjoy!

Zucchini Cookies with Chocolate Chips and Dried Cranberries
A little bit not ordinary cookies. You can’t taste zucchini, just it’s green skin says that cookies has a secret in side. Next time I will use quick cooking oats, because now I used old fashioned and eating cookies I could feel hard oats.
Ranger cookies
A few days ago I thought that I baked cookies very long time ago. And my mother mentioned that she liked the cookies that baked with chocolate. And I wanted oat cookies. So when I saw this recipe I decided to make them 🙂 Because my hubby don’t want to eat sweets, almost all cookies went to my work. And I have to say that I had no cookies to take home 🙂
Cookies Hoot Owls
One more way to make your kids happy. Preparation takes time because you have to chill the dough long. But the cookies are delicious and we liked it, out kids kindergarden liked them too 🙂
Puffed rice with Mars bars
I use less and less ingredients to do something sweet 🙂 Now I used only three ingredients. Next time I’ll try to use breakfast crisp balls. Mars bars is very good when you don’t want to waste time unfolding butter scotches. And it gives the taste between butterscotch and chocolate. But we likes this sweet a lot – disappeared in minutes.
Chocolate chip cookies with nuts and apricots
The first time I baked these cookies with my daugther. They were very delicious and very sweet. So next time I used less sugar, but they spread less while baking. Here I give you proportions with less sugar because I like when cookies are cookies and not candies 🙂 By the way, when I used hazelnuts my hubby said to leave them at home (didn’t let to take them to my work) 🙂 So it says everything about the taste of these cookies.
