5. Gefüllte Rotwein-Plätzchen

I found this recipe on one of my favorite baking-blogs, the "Glücksbäckerei" and changed it a little bit.
The cookies are really juicy because of the marmalade and are perfect for the cold winter times!

You need

500 gram flour
0,5 package baking powder
1 egg
270 gram butter
200 gram sugar
6 tablespoons red wine
2-4 tablespoons cocoa
2 spoons cinnamon
1 spoon nutmeg and cloves
apricot marmalade for the filling

Mix the flour, baking powder, the spices and sugar. Heat the butter a little and cut it in little peaces in the duff. Knead it and add the red wine. Mix it really well and put it in the freezer. At least 2 hours, the best over night.

Coast the duff and cut out your cookies. Pour the marmalade over the cookies and cover them with an other cookie-dough.

Bake them by 170 degree celsius for 10 minutes.

Cover them with chocolate, if you want to.

Eat them. All. Now!

4. Jamies Sunday: Käsekuchen mit Himbeersoße

Und so geht's:

Den Boden fest in eine eingefettete (oder mit Backpapier ausgelegte) Form drücken und für mindestens 1h in den Kühlschrank stellen.

Für den Belag: (Kleiner Tipp: Fettarmer Frischkäse tut's auch)

Den Belag auf dem Boden verteilen und für mindestens 3h (am besten über Nacht) in den Kühlschrank stellen. Zum Servieren nach Belieben Himbeersoße auf dem Belag verteilen.

Voilà!

2. Christmas-Chocolate Bread

What you need:

250 g butter or margarine
250 g brown sugar
120 g flour
5 Eggs
150 g grounded almonds or hazelnuts
(if you want to you can split them up and make half-half)
50 g chocolate powder
200 g Bitter-Chocolate (grated)
1 Shot rum-aroma
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon nutmeg

Melt the butter in the microwave (ca. 20 minutes) and beat it creamy with a beater, add sugar and eggs and beat it all until it is fluffy. Pour the other ingredients to the butter-sugar-egg-mix and mix it until it's a homogeneous measure.
Pour the measure in a stove-sheet that is laid out with baking-paper. Let it bake for max. 30 minutes by 180° Celsius.
Afterwards let it freeze a bit, and if you now want to, spread it with melted chocolate and disperse some almond-polver over the chocolate. When the chocolate hardened you can cut it in little pieces. Done!

1. Cherry-Chocolate Cake

This is our crop from the cherry-tree in our garden.

I decided to make two small cakes and this is what I did:

Pick up three hands full of cherries and remove the core of each one, like this.

Put some cinnamon, chocolate-powder and sugar
over the core-free cherries and admix it.

If you like, put a little bit of Amaretto in the mix.
If you can, put the composite in the refrigerator over night.

This helps to mix the ingredients and give it all a better taste.

Now you have to stir 125 grams of butter until its spumy.

Take three eggs and separate them.
Add the yellow part of the egg to the butter and stir it until it‘s spumy.
Add 100 grams of sugar while stirring it again.
