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 🙂

Ingredients:

- 25 g butter, melted
- 30 g flour
- 100 g (~3 units) egg whites

- 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!

Honey-Peach Ice Cream
These ice creams are very creamy, with a mild taste of honey and peach. Just we all agreed that next time I will puree all peaches, because those that I chopped became like little ice cristals and were very very cold ? And in the photo you can see what conditions I have almost all the time photographing my creations 😀
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.
Chicken in the cream and paprika sauce
One more easy and simple, as a lot of others, chicken dishes. I decided to try something new, because I”m a little bit tired to prepare chicken in a cream sauce and all the time overeat. This recipe is a little bit similar, just new seasons gives the new taste. And really don’t remember, we overate or didn’t 🙂
Eggs with a cream
Tasty and easy 🙂 Put ingredients to the forms and while baking in an oven, you can go wake up your family. I prepared them already two times, but both times I over-baked it a little bit and the egg yolks were strong. But neglecting that we liked it, especially my hubby liked the eggs with a feta. And my parents said that these eggs are very solid.
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.
