This fancy cake is laid out with so many fascinating stories about its origins, stories that traveled all over the globe, starting from the tranquility of the small town of Bad Godesberg, the suburban area of Bonn.
The Black Forest torte is made with lightweight, Genoese, chocolate sponge cake, impregnated with Kirsch (made from double distillation of cherry and sour cherry juices) and filled alternately with buttermilk and cherries, slightly marinated to keep their crisp texture. The culmination of all these is a cake sprinkled with cocoa, whole juicy cherries, black chocolate croissants and sugar snack to give royal style to the torte. It could be a calorie bomb but a slice of it can easily take you to the magical world of the chocolate black forest.

In retrospect, I realized the huge range of sweets, where we can use our hot or cold compotes. From the simplest dessert, such as on a velvety cream or yogurt, to something more complex, such as on or inside a fridge cake.

Baked Tortilla Roll-Ups

The tortilla (small torta) is a type of unleavened, thin, soft, flat cake of corn flour or fine milling wheat. Initially, corn tortilla was born in Mexico and preceded the arrival of Europeans in America. Wheat flour tortilla was a novelty from the Sephardi Jews who considered corn flour as non-kosher and used wheat coming from Europe. In China, there is the folksy (烙餅), a viscous "pancake" that is similar to the tortilla.
Tortillas are usually filled with various ingredients and accordingly they get different names like: tacos, quesadillas and burritos.

No Knead Baguette

In our home we are not much of the bread, not because we do not like it but we just agreed to somewhat reduce the consumption of certain carbohydrates, removing from our usual diet this divine creature, the BREAD.
As a family with French references we could not say no to a fluffy, freshly baked baguette and thus give us the opportunity to encroach the terms of the agreement.
So we made Baguettes with a lazy process and unique garnish to remind us of Greece but also the Mediterranean, have oil & salt, olives & tomatoes, garlic & pepper and fragrant, much smell, like when you cross the dawn of the neighborhood bakery and take the smell of hot bread just came out. Thus they were born, inflated and baked four small baguettes, effortlessly, without kneading!
