The post German Mocha Mole Cake – Maulwurfkuchen appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.
]]>In the classic mole cake there is no coffee but I have always loved how bananas, chocolate and coffee go together. Coffee always enhances the chocolate flavor in every dessert. The cake consists of a chocolate sponge cake, filled with fresh bananas, mocha whipped cream with chocolate and coated into chocolate cake crumbs.
First, you have to prepare a chocolate cake and let it cool completely. For the chocolate cake I use a chocolate cake recipe that I love, the one used in this Chocolate Rose Cake and adapted for this recipe. The batter is made using hot coffee which makes the batter a bit runny but once baked it is moist and chocolatey, not to mention very easy to prepare.
Once cooled, use a tablespoon to hollow out the center of the cake and turn the reserved cake into crumbs.
Make the mocha whipped cream filling by whipping cream with instant coffee powder and powdered sugar. You can consider using gelatin or cream stabilizer if desired. I didn’t feel the need but go for it if that makes you feel more comfortable. In the end,fold some mini chocolate rocks or shredded chocolate.
Fill the cake with fresh bananas, and cover with the mocha whipped cream in a shape dome.
Coat with cake crumbs and the cake is ready.

This apple cake is really easy to prepare. First, you need to make the cake crust. For this, you have to prepare an easy buttery dough.

Peel and core the apples and cut them into slices. Place the cut apples into a large bowl and add some lemon juice to prevent apples from turning brown. Add some cinnamon and toss to coat.

]]>The post Black Forest Cake appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.
]]>One of the main ingredients in this recipe is the cherry brandy that the layers are soaked in, which is called kirschwasser, a brandy that originated from the Black Forest Mountain region in Germany. It is a clear sweetless, colorless cherry brandy, with a subtle cherry flavor, that brings its unique flavor to this simple yet delicious cake.
Begin by pitting the cherries, cutting them in half, and transferring them to a bowl. Pour the cherry brandy (kirsch) over the cherries and let them soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or even overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease with butter an 8-inch (20cm) round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Whisk to combine and set aside until ready to use.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually incorporate the sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Pour the melted chocolate over the yolks and stir to combine. Pour the chocolate yolk mixture over the whites and, using a spatula, gently fold them in. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
Drain the cherries, reserving the kirsch for later use. Transfer the drained cherries into a saucepan, add sugar, water, and cornstarch. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until reduced and thick. Let it cool completely.
Next, prepare the whipped cream. In a large bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Divide the sponge cake into three layers. Place one cake layer on the serving platter, soak with a third of the reserved kirsch, spread half of the whipped cream, and then half of the cherry filling. Add the second cake layer, soak with another third of kirsch, spread the remaining whipped cream and cherry filling. Finish with the third layer, prick with a toothpick if necessary, and soak with the remaining kirsch.
Prepare the chocolate ganache by placing the chocolate, cream, and kirsch into a small saucepan. Place over very low heat until the chocolate is completely melted. Pour over the cake and let some drip down the sides.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Decorate the cake with fresh cherries and chocolate curls if desired.

]]>The post Apple Meringue Cake appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.
]]>What I love about this cake is the variety of fruits you can choose for this recipe, depending on the season. Berries work great, apricots and peaches bring a wonderful flavor as well, and as fall comes plums, apples, and pears make a perfect choice too.
This apple meringue cake is one of the best apple desserts, the meringue has a crispy exterior while the cake is soft and apples bring such a wonderful flavor and texture. It’s truly a delightful and comforting autumn dessert.
Apples get a crisp-tender texture so if you want really soft apples you can cook them a little on stove top with cinnamon and butter or microwave for few seconds before adding them over the cake batter.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and butter a 10-inch (26 cm) springform pan with a removable base.
To prepare the apples, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and 4 tbsp flour in a large bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
For the cake batter, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until well mixed. Beat in the egg yolks, sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the apple slices on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
While the cake is baking, prepare the meringue by whipping the egg whites until foamy with a mixer. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip until it holds very stiff peaks.
Remove the pan from the oven and spread the whipped egg whites on top of the cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until golden brown. Run a sharp knife completely around the inside edge of the pan. Let the cake cool slightly at room temperature before serving.

]]>The post Homemade Marzipan Candies Dipped in Chocolate appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.
]]>I’ve always wanted to make my own marzipan because I adore its taste, especially when paired with dark chocolate.
I’m thrilled to have finally made it at home, and I will definitely be making them again. While it does take some time, it’s worth every bit of effort if you’re a marzipan lover.
To make these delicious marzipan candies, start by combining almonds and granulated sugar in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is well mixed and finely ground. Transfer this mixture to a bowl.
Next, beat an egg white with a fork and pour it over the almond mixture. Stir well to incorporate. Gradually add lemon juice, almond extract, and powdered sugar to the mixture. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth, stiff paste.
Wrap the marzipan in plastic wrap and refrigerate it until you’re ready to use. This helps the marzipan firm up, making it easier to shape.
When the marzipan is ready, take it out of the refrigerator and create your desired shapes. Once shaped, place the marzipan back in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate.
Melt semisweet chocolate over a bain-marie (double boiler), stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and start dipping the marzipan shapes into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped marzipan on parchment paper and let the chocolate set.
If you’d like to add an extra touch, melt white chocolate over a bain-marie, remove from heat, and use it to decorate some of the marzipan candies.
Once all the chocolate has set, your marzipan candies are ready to serve. Store any remaining candies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Hope you will try them out and enjoy your homemade marzipan treats!

]]>The post Peach Cake with Meringue Topping appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.
]]>The recipe is very easy to prepare. You can even involve kids in the process of making as they will love it. You can always use different fruits, and substitute peaches with seasonal fruits like apples, pears, cherries, plums, or apricots.
To make this delightful peach cake, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter a 10-inch (26 cm) springform pan with a removable base to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is well blended and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks, sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Stir in the dry ingredients, flour, and baking powder, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the butter mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a little flour over the peach slices to prevent them from sinking, then arrange the slices on top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. While the cake is baking, prepare the meringue by whipping the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip until the egg whites form very stiff peaks.
After the initial 15 minutes of baking, remove the cake from the oven. Carefully spread the whipped egg whites over the top of the partially baked cake, then return the pan to the oven. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Once baked, run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Let it cool at room temperature before serving.
