Grown up – Strawberry hazelnut bundt cake

May 23, 2014 by nadel&gabel

I baked a cake … actually I am baking a lot of cakes recently, somehow it became a habit to bake cakes for my colleagues and students on a regular basis. This is especially satisfying when you’re actually meant to correct class tests… This cake I made twice in one week – which indicates already that something is totally right with it. First of all it is strawberries … of course – I just can’t walk past if I see […]

Homemade Brause/fizzy powder – Having a blast

March 22, 2012 by nadel&gabel

I am not quite sure how widely known German Brause is. At least, it seams to be one of those products that are closely linked with Germany and don’t have an exact equivalent, like f.ex.

There won’t be any living German who isn’t immediatly reminded of his childhood… These little bags with […]
