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

- Mascarpone cream:
- 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!

Ice cream without eggs
This hot day I give you ice cream. All agreed that they really good and they taste almost like store bought.
Raspberry Parfait
This year we had a lot of raspberries. We ate them raw, made some new recipes, and still had some for freezing. I’m so happy about that, because now autumn started… and we started to go to school and kindergarden. The good thing that I am on vocations so I have quiet time to drink tea and to think what can I do good for my family.
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 🙂
Spicy almonds
The first time I made them for Christmas presents, but they are really good, so sometimes I prepare them just for us. They good for a snack or next to the cold beer. The last time I made them I put just a little bit less cayenne pepper, and my kids enjoyed them too.
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.
