Cardamom Whoopie with almond aka Den nya Semlan

Whoopie Pie Semla Semlor 5

So once again Sweden face the tradition of “Fettisdagen” aka “Fat Tuesday”. We then eat cardamom rolls filled with almond paste-mixture and topped with whipped cream. This roll is called “Semla”. You can find my recipe for a delicious classic semla here. 
But the swedes has started to crave a bit more innovative ways to devour this delicious roll, so there has started to pop up many different alternatives to the classic. There has been a semmel-wrap, chocolate semla, pancake semla, semmel-pretzel and even shrimp semla ( what’s up with that?)! So I thought that I have to come up with a new version of my own – and here it is: Whoopie Pie Semla! 
A Whoopie flavoured with cardamom. Filled with the classic almond paste-mixture and whipped cream. It is so crazy delicious that you won’t be able to stop eating them. Whoopie Pie Semla is a great way to have a classic semla but with a little less fuss and it’s also easier to eat more of them 😉

Chocolate & Stout Cupcakes with Crispy Bacon

chocolate and stout cupcakes with crispy bacon delliedelicious

Chocolate and beer is nowadays a pretty common flavor combination in the foodie world. But not many people outside this foodie world has actually tried or even heard of the combination. I got the inspiration for this recipe while watching an episode of 2 Broke Girls. Max made a Spring Break Cupcake with beer and chocolate. I tried to make cupcakes with this combination with a maple syrup frosting and it was delicious, I also tried dipping some bacon in chocolate for fun and wow I’m glad i did. It was soooo good!
So I thought that my dads 60th birthday party would be the perfect place to showcase this delicious cake and a new version of the cupcakes. Since my dad love Guinness I had to use it in the sponge and I filled the cake and topped the cupcakes with a light chocolate mousse to go with the rich flavor of the sponge. To add some sweetness I candied some pecans and for saltiness? Super crispy bacon, yum!
I decorated the cake and cupcakes with some extra glamor – 24 carat gold leaves and gold dust, just to make it a bit more special for my dad 🙂
Dad and the guests were a little bit skeptical to having bacon on their cake and cupcakes, I must admit. But they all loved it! And I already have a lot of orders for this cake 😉
Happy Birthday dad!

Rainbow Cake with a Hidden Treasure

Rainbow cake with a hidden treasure delliedelicious kids birthday party

I always make a cake for my niece Mollys birthday. This year she wanted a cake decorated with a rainbow. So we sat down and searched for inspiration online. She found a few designs that she liked. I took inspiration from her favorites and this is the end result:
A Victoria sponge layer cake with vanilla cream, fresh strawberries and banana (since these were the flavors that Mollys requested). I decorated the cake with vanilla butter cream frosting, lots of sprinkles and marshmallows. I’ve also hidden a golden treasure inside the cake. This will make a great surprise a kids birthday party.  Read more

Ah, a great and delicious steak pie. Is there anything better? I think you already know that I am a true pie lover, and also a meat lover. So this is a perfect savory pie for me. You can add more veggies if you like and also substitute some of the fluid for your favorite beer. The variations is endless. Just be careful with the amount of fluid you put into the actual pie. We don’t want a soggy bottom as Mary Berry would have said.
So let’s get cooking this delicious steak pie!

As I’ve told you before, I love to combine rhubarb and strawberries. They balance each other out perfectly. Since I am a pie lover I feel that I’m obligated to give you a crumble recipe this week.

I am true pie lover and this is one of my favourites with rhubarb. So I just have to share the recipe with you guys. This is a free-form tart, galette. It holds its own shape and has a super flaky crust. This recipe is enough for 8 servings and I would not recommend you to make a bigger galette if you’re expecting more people. Make 2 separate ones instead.
I’ve filled it with rhubarb, strawberries and candied ginger. It has a tart flavour and with a little bit of whipped cream or ice cream it’s just divine! 
With it’s rustic look and taste it will definitely wow your guest this summer. Read more

My guilty pleasure of all time is a cream filled choux. Is there something better? I don’t think so! (If there is, please let me know 😉 ) This is my first time making choux pastry and I must say, it turned out amazing. So this recipe is perfect for beginners! They puffed up really good and dried out even better. I filled my choux buns with chantilly cream flavored with maple syrup. It was a perfect combination. I had some of them straight away but I also made a chocolate syrup sauce so that I could create my favorite choux dish – Profiterole. When I was younger my mom lived in Paris for a few years. Every time I went to visit her she had bought these little store bought desserts that we had after dinner. And that was 3 small choux buns filled with cream and covered in chocolate sauce. I loved it! Therefore I had to make this today. It was yum and it really gave me a flash back to France and Paris. So here you go, an easy recipe for choux buns: Read more

Who can resist a cheesecake? It’s perfect for any occasion and it’s light and fresh.
This is an American-style cheesecake with strawberry jelly on top. I’ve cut out some small strawberry hearts that I’ve put inside the jelly for an extra cute touch. The cake takes a few hours to make so be sure that you give yourself enough time. It stores well in the fridge for 3 days. Read more
