cake and dispersion












Do you know that feeling? When you have some free time and you want to do so many things and you don't know where to start and in the end you do nothing?
I'm trying to get better at organizing and enjoying my free time.


And I have finally been baking a lot again these days:

· Molly's ginger muffins. I used Kefir instead of buttermilk. They're fantastic and we finished them in one day.

· Alice Medrich's brownies from "Pure Dessert" (my favourite brownie/chocolate cake recipe. easy to make and not too heavy on butter and eggs).

· Malin's Lussekatter. I didn't want to wait until next Christmas. And I'm glad I haven't. I loved the saffron taste and colour.

. this poppy seed lemon cake. it's quick to make and easy and sooo good. I used coconut oil for the first time (instead of half of the butter) and it gives the cake a very subtle coconut flavour which I loved.

Any baking favourites of yours I should try??


And another question: I would like to put my negatives in order, I'm starting to lose control over them. I would love to hear your method or suggestions.

Thank you dears!!

  1. hallo Jana, wie schön mal wieder von Dir zu lesen! Ich bin gut angekommen, aber noch auf Job- und Wohnungssuche. Ist schön wieder in Deutschland zu sein, aber auch noch ein bisschen komisch... Zum Thema Negative weiss ich nichts, bin schon ewig im Chaos versunken, da kann ich Tips auch gut gebrauchen. Habe am Wochenende zwei Schuhkartons mit meinen alten Negativen vom Dachboden meiner Eltern mitgebracht, die würd ich gern mal in Ordnung bringen. Ganz liebe Grüße, und deine Rezept-Tips probier ich mal wenn ich (hoffentlich bald) einen Ofen habe!

  3. Lieb Jana, ich kenne das Gefühl zu gut, lange Zeit auf ein Projekt konzentriert zu sein, währenddessen von anderen viel tolleren Dingen (tag)zuträumen und plötzlich ist sie da die Zeit und man selbst braucht erst mal Ruhe...das gönn dir jetzt erst mal und ich finde du hast ja ganz schön viel gebacken, von wegen du machst nichts :) die Muffins hören sich super an...ich muss auch bald mal wieder was backen... einen ganz arg lieben viel-Zeit-Gruß

  8. ha, you've been baking all of my favourites already...

    what i can also recommend: the lemon cake and the carrot cake from "the rose bakery" cookbook. also love baking quiche and crumbles (nigel slater!).

    no clever negative archiving ideas - i keep them in their sleeves in labeled paper pockets. but i've been thinking about putting them in proper A4 sleeves and keeping them in hanging files.
