One of our most popular recipes is our breakfast cake This cake is delicious and very forgiving when you make a mistake. Johann developed this recipe over 8 years ago but it is still a staple in our home and I have had many dm’s that readers made the cake too. Which is honestly the best thing about blogging. Well that and having an extra reason to bake a cake. This version is a bit more “classy”…
Read More“Do you think we might have a problem?” I ask Johann when we’re busy moving yet another time. (Hi, my name is Suus and I have moved houses three times in one year and no, this is not good for your health.) We have sorted through and thrown away a lot of our junk every time we’d move, but our absurdly large collection of coffee machines hasn’t gotten any smaller. But how can you make barista-quality coffee at home?
Read MoreDeze cake is voor Wieneke. Wanneer deze vriendschap is ontstaan is mij niet helemaal meer duidelijk. Maar ik deelde voor het eerst iets persoonlijks op Food Bandits. Ik deelde daarvoor alleen veel ontbijtfoto’s en een dirty martini maar ik geloof dat ik iets zei over hoe moeilijk het kan zijn als chronisch zieke om de schoonheid in dingen te blijven zien. Maar die dag was er een boswandeling, fijne muziek op de radio en bij thuiskomst taart. ‘Ik heb ook ME’ vertelde Wieneke
Read MoreYou might think that triple chocolate is a bit much but how much is too much chocolate really? This bundt cake is not the traditional white cake but more of a chocolate mousse cake. The pieces of chocolate add some texture next to the melted chocolate. A rich dessert cake for the true chocolate lover…..
Read MoreThis cake might not be the prettiest of them all but the coffee walnut combination is absolutely delicious. This cake reminds me that vegan and gluten free baking can be scrumptious.
Read MoreNot much of an introduction since I have no clue what to tell you about this recipe other than it is delicious and if you feel like baking a cake I highly recommend this recipe. So to keep it short and simple: here is the recipe…
Read MoreIn our quest for the best banana bread we have a black sesame banana bread. And may I suggest that you eat this bread smothered in tahini and honey ( or rice syrup for the vegan version).?And since covid brings out the urge to bake banana bread. I present you the banana bread series.
Read MoreWith the holiday season in sight we wanted to make a delicious two tiered chocolate espresso cake. It is vegan and gluten free and we used a few raspberries from our own garden. The ones we could save from Moos (the doxie) actually since he likes picking them.
The cake is airy and light, also allergen friendly so it is suitable for almost everyone…
Read MoreMeet Johann his new favorite cake. The black sesame seeds give a warm and nutty flavour and this cake is airy and soft. You can find black sesame seed ( in Holland) at the Toko or Turkish supermarket and is great in savoury dishes as well. Another plus is the fact that you don’t taste the coconut cream, together with dates-the most used ingredient in vegan baking. Warm, nutty and chocolate galore.
Read MoreYes the version of Feasting on Fruit of this tart looks way prettier but my current oven is weird and simply aims to burn things. Luckily the taste was still amazing and the powdered sugar trick came once again to the rescue.And this almond date tart is simply delicious.
Read MoreThis easy almond peach cake is a great way to celebrate the end of summer. It is gluten free and dairy free
Read MoreA few days ago, we had our first couple of warm days of the year (not a fan, and not happy). We ate our first asparagus and turnips, and now the time has come for rhubarb. A while ago we made a rhubarb compote to go with this wonderful cheesecake, and now we have created a lovely lemon rhubarb cake.
This cake tastes wonderfully fresh and a little sour, but I think that’s what makes rhubarb actually taste like rhubarb.
Read MoreFor a blog that specializes in pies and cakes, my birthday cakes are generally surprisingly bad. There’s photographic proof of this on Instagram, where we just ended up sticking some sparklers in the cake, because it was really just that terrible. In the end, it took us a whole year to improve last year’s lemon meringue cake. But now I do have one (although it’s not the prettiest thing and the bad January lighting doesn’t help matters either) that’s actually good! It tastes delicious and: I have a birthday cake!
Read MoreJohann and I have labelled this cake our basic cake. It goes perfectly with any type of fruit, topping or sauce. On top of that it is also very easy to make and has great texture and taste. And I know that people who love breakfast cake will also definitely enjoy this one. What else can I say except…. bake this cake!
Read MoreI could try to come up with a whole story, but honestly, we don’t have such adventurous lives and one day Johann simply said: “today I want to bake an almond orange cake”. And then he did. The second version of this recipe was even better than the first and the consistency of the cake was a lot more airy than it was on the photo, which is why we decided to put the second version of this recipe up here for you to enjoy!
Read MoreThis recipe is a true Food Bandits classic. Make this recipe once and you won’t be able to stop. It’s so easy, so delicious and is forgiving when you make a mistake. On top of that, this cake is my cat Lola’s favourite. When we were invited by our publisher to talk about our (at that time potential) book Andere Koek, Lola had already started munching on this cake, meaning we were forced to show up empty handed. Thankfully, Claire trusted Lola’s judgement completely and we got the publishing deal regardless.
Read MoreWhen we first found this recipe at Tasty Yummies, I could not believe that a recipe this simple, could taste that good. This recipe is quite simply perfect and I do recommend this as a “must try.” Vegan and gluten free, oh and all the chocolate goodness.
Read MoreImagine having a brownie, a chocolate cake, and a Schwartzwälder kirsch torte in one. And now imagine this also being incredibly easy to make, while also being gluten free and completely plantbased! No worrying about finding all the ingredients at your local supermarket. Doesn’t that deserve its own celebratory statue or at the very least its own song, written and performed for Food Bandits?
