For the Sweet Tooth :)

This weekend we celebrated my Dad's B-day, and as a tradition, the b-day boy or girl can choose the cake and either my Mom or I will make it. Lately, its usually me, though...Like it was with my birthday a few weeks ago. I made myself coconut cake...and it was yummmm. This weekend I made chocolate-mocha cake. Well...my Dad wanted simple classic chocolate cake and as I was browsing among the millions of chocolate cake recipes, this certain recipe caought my eye and it involved coffee in it so I thought...this is it!And yes, it was it :D
The cake was so good, it disappeared in 2 days!! Which is very surprising since cakes are not that popular in my house. Especially chocolate ones. I LOVE chocolate, let me state this. I absolutely love chocolate but not in cakes. And not in ice cream. But other than that... :P
So the cake itself is just sooo moist, the frosting is really good, too. It was just perfect.
I'm gonna link the recipe, although I did some changes in it. Like I worked with different measurements...I figured the recipe is for a very small cake, and I wanted a bigger one :)

Chocolate is needed!!

Spreading the yummy frosting :)

Voila!

Homemade Nutella

I was an exchange student (ah how many times I've said this sentence...) 5 years ago in the US. I'm not gonna talk about how it was (AMAZING) but then and there I gained sisters! Now I have one living in the States and one living in Germany. And next week we are gonna be reunited! I can't wait, I am so excited! So this week I am going to Germany and was thinking what I should bring. Because basically Germany has everything that Hungary has, if not more. So what to give what to give? I was thinking really hard when a completely random thing came to my mind. I should make some nutella. She loves nutella. Frankly, who doesn't, right? I love it, too although it's been years since I ate any. I can't really explain why because I always think that if I eat just one spoon, I will gain a 100 pounds immediately. But with this thought, I shouldn't be eating any brownies, cookies...etc. BUT today I tried my homemade Nutella. OH MY GOD. I wouldn't have though...

Hungarian Kakaós Csiga (Chocolate Rolls)

Frankly, I missed baking so much! Even though I needed one baking-free month to lose all the weight I gained due to the excessive baking mania I got over this summer I just cannot stop it! So I decided that I don't have to give up this love of mine but I do have to figure out something that will not leave me end up gaining weight again. What to do, what to do...Bake only in the weekends! And probably I should get a grip and not stuff my face until I can't move...Which didn't really happen today. I ate like 6 of these lovely chocolate rolls...I guess, no dinner for Csilla tonight :P These rolls are from a traditional Hungarian pastry recipe. I called my Grandma to ask for the recipe and as it always happens with Grandma recipes she did not know the measurements...I don't know if it's only with my grandmas but they always work with their eyes so they usually have no idea how much grams I need from this or that... So I turned to an ancient Hungarian cookbook and that...
