Dark Chocolate Brownie with Whipped Cream and Cherry Jelly

This week we have for you a lovely dessert recipe! It's a Brownie, but not the simple one. Probably all of you ate a brownie, it's easy to make and tastes delicious. Our brownie is a Next Level Brownie! There are two more layers on the cake! First is sweet whipped cream and on top is a cherry jelly we made by ourselves!

Who doesn't love CHOCOLATE?! Do you know anyone? We don't! And our brownie is based on real chocolate. That's the first thing why you'll love it. Even while cooking and melting the chocolate the smell is sooo good, our mouths were watering. And it's the same each time we make this brownie. The cake is smooth and creamy! Pure perfection.

First brownie I ate was made by Domi. She made a fit brownie with avocado inside. Well, I didn't know and well, I won't taste it if I knew. But it was really good, very creamy and was melting in my mouth. We'll give you the recipe soon. The Brwonie from this recipe is classic one, with melted chocolate, flour and eggs. And it also tastes great.

Okay, but brownie can sound boring, is it? We had our brownie with ice cream sometimes. But it's still an easy way. We wanted to have a nice cake, with layers, based on brownie. It's much easier to make a brownie than a chocolate sponge cake - ... my last two attepts with chocolate sponge cake were 100% disaster :( but I'll try more times!

1. We have our brownie. 2. The CREAM - it's really easy - just whipped cream! We had heavy cream with sugar and just mixed it. It's fluffy and sweet - I love it!!! and 3. it's CHERRY JELLY !!! The best ! Well, I think this cake is maybe like an easy version of BLACK FORREST CAKE for begginers... okay. So going back to the jelly. We had canned cherries, because that's easier and you can buy them in every season of the year. They're always in a sauce which we used for jelly. And that's it!

Our family fall in love with this simple cake. You don't really put a lot effort here and you have a lovely cake with three layers. They fit great together. And remember about the chocolate here! It's the best part, who doesn't like chocolate cakes...?

It's a great recipe for everyday dessert, but also for a party with friend or family. I can bet, they will love it!

Fall and Life Update

Hello there! We finally have fall in Poland, it's official. Except for holidays and Christmas there's nothing that makes me more happy than autumn. One of the most magical seasons of the year, when the leaves change colour, you get to have your cosy nights in with hot chocolate under layers of sweaters. Who could want more? I mean you have to live off of eating something that's why we're here to provide you delicious and healthy meals. But don't worry we have in plans a lot more desserts for you.

Usually you associate autumn with pumpkins, hot chocolate, spices, ex. cinnamon, cardamom, and tons of soups and cosy food. That's what you're going to find here quite soon and I promise you won't get your hopes up.

At the same time quite a few of our friends asked us for easy, quick and student friendly recipes. We'll try to incorporate that into our schedule and hopefully put out some of them for you.

Of course not everything is as easy as it seems. We both have to find a balance between studying, working as an intern, personal life and blogging. As you can see we haven't had that much time already, but you can be expecting a lot of new content from us. Hint: it may not only be food related.

As to an update for us - there's a lot happening right now. I'm studying my last year of Food Technology and Karo is working as an intern in Dentistry. We're both pretty busy, since it's already exams time for me. You can say we're two little busy bees.

You can see the photos have been taken about 2 weeks ago, when the weather was giving us major sun time. Unfortunately now all we have outside are cloudy skies and very strong wind. The clocks have gone back and it gets dark already at 4pm. Although the weather is not the best we try to make the most of every day. We're currently still binge watching Stranger Things season 2 and loving it way too much!

We have to face with the fact that it's getting colder outside, so we're in full mode of changing wardrobes from light clothes to cosy and warm sweaters and flannels.
