Cherry Cardamom Crumble

June is definitely all about cherries. Those sweet little jewels are the perfect symbol of the beginning of summer. And I still remember how I stood in my grandparents garden having a pit-spitting contest with my older sister. Obviously I never won. But I was only in it for the fun of it, anyways. Can anybody relate?

Juicy Cherry Crumble topped with Vanilla Ice Cream

Cherries remain to be one of my favorite fruits of all times and it seems my little one is following in my footsteps in that regard. No wonder that I enjoy making all sorts of desserts with them. One of my favourites and, above all, simplest ways to use cherries is to bake a simple cherry crumble. Which is basically a thick layer of sweet & juicy cooked fruit topped with a layer of crispy oats. And if you wanna go all in, you serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combo of warm, sweet cherries, crispy crumble & melting ice cream is pure heaven.

So, are you ready to pit some cherries?

Pitting Cherries for a Cherry Cardamom Crumble


Pitting the cherries is about the hardest part of this recipe. If you have a cherry pitter your life’s gonna be a bit easier. If you haven’t, get out that paring knife and start cutting. After you’ve removed all the pits, the cherries are simply tossed in a baking dish and covered with a crumbly mixture of butter, sugar, flour & oats. That’s basically it. You’re ready to serve your delicious summer dessert. Just pick a spoon & let’s go – or as my grandpa used to say when I was a kid: “nimm’ nen Löffel & iss mit”. Which literally means “take a spoon & get eating”.

Before I give you the recipe, I’d love to take a second to talk about Cardamom. I mostly use this Indian native spice in cooking savoury dishes like curry actually. But in some desserts I believe it makes such a nice addition and adds that special twist. For me, cherries & cardamom is like a love couple. They challenge each other & make each other better & stronger. Just like any good relationship should be, don’t you agree? That’s why I just adore that combination. I know, however, that cardamom can be an acquired taste. So, if you’re unsure whether you like it or not, you can always start with a smaller amount. Maybe use just one capsule instead of the recommended 2.

So, what are you still waiting for? Here’s the recipe! And if you’re in the mood for some other summer desserts, how about you try my Cherry Hazelnut Sheet Cake or this Summer Raspberry Tiramisu.

As always, if you make this easy Cherry Cardamom Crumble please leave me a comment & let me know how you liked it. Or head over to Instagram & shoot me a dm or leave a comment on one of my posts. Your comments & feedback really make my day!

Yours always,

Anna

These past days a lot of PINK has been popping up in my feed & maybe in yours too. That’s because there’s another Color themed challenge is going on & this time the hero of the show is, you guessed it, 💗My sons favourite color. I, for one, have only started inviting pink into my life these past years. In my youth I’ve made it a religion to destain pink. Maybe because it was my mom’s color & I wanted to set myself apart. 
Nowadays the emotions pink awakes in me are a lot different. I love the coziness & playfulness it has to it & that’s what I wanted to show in this picture. 
And I gotta say, I adore how this months judge Maja from @veggie_intervention uses pinks in her photography & there couldn’t be a better person choosing the challenge winners ☺️ so, my love goes out to her & our wonderful host Mridul from @thesouthasiankitchen & of course to all the talented participants - you really set the bar high & push me to become a better photographer each time 💪

// Alfarroba Schokolade Donuts // Seit einiger Ze // Alfarroba Schokolade Donuts // 
Seit einiger Zeit beschäftige ich mich nun schon mit dem Klima Fußabdruck der Lebensmittel, die ich verwende. Und leider schneidet Schokolade da gar nicht toll ab - weitläufiger Einsatz von Pestiziden, großer Energieaufwand bei der Verarbeitung, weite Transportwege. Mal ganz abgesehen von den sozio-ökonomischen Faktoren 😳 einzige Lösung ist daher: Verzicht. Deshalb freunde ich mich gerade mit Alfarroba an - das Pulver der Johannisbrotbaum Schoten gilt nämlich als DER Ersatz für das schwarze Gold. Heimisch, anspruchslos und auch viel günstiger. Im Teig dieser Donuts hab ich mit dem Pulver experimentiert. Meinen 3-jährigen konnte ich zwar irgendwie überzeugen, aber mich selbst noch nicht ganz. Deshalb gab’s ne faire Dosis Schoko oben drüber. Ich werd’ aber auf jeden Fall dran bleiben. Und sobald ich ein Rezept hab’, dass auch wirklich schmeckt seid ihr die ersten dies erfährt 💪

🇬🇧 /// Carob Chocolate Donuts ///
Ever heard of carob? It’s a climate friendly cacao alternative. I used it in the batter for these baked donuts. Not 💯% convinced yet but I’ll keep going. What are you doing to reduce the impact your food choices make?

This is for the #foodartproject February challenge with @twiggstudios - Aimee is a master of #chiaroscuro and her play with shadows is incredible. So it didn’t come as a surprise that the hosts of @foodartproject @thesouthasiankitchen asked us to create an image highlighting the color black. And for today specifically what emotion it evokes. For me that’s sensuality and I hope you can see that in my picture 🖤 @fifbackgrounds @organized.ceramics #foodartaimeeproject

🎉 Porridge findest du zwar super weil gesund un 🎉 Porridge findest du zwar super weil gesund und so, aber bei dir wird er immer schleimig, langweilig oder zu fest? Ich verrate dir DAS Porridge Geheimnis 🤫 
…
Richtig guter Porridge braucht Zeit und damit einhergehend ein bisschen Geduld. Zu Beginn meiner Porridge Reise hab ich alle Zutaten einfach in einen Topf gekippt und zack, rauf auf den Herd. Heute geh’ ich’s beim Frühstück machen lieber entschleunigt an. Die Haferflocken lasse ich dafür erstmal mindestens 10 Minuten mit doppelter Menge Wasser und einer Prise Salz stehen. So lange, bis die Flocken die ganze Flüssigkeit aufgenommen haben und so richtig schön fluffig geworden sind. Das beschert mir nicht nur extra cremigen Brei, sondern ich finde es macht die Flocken auch noch bekömmlicher. 💪Erst dann geht’s auf den Herd und das mit Geduld auf niedriger Flamme und nochmal bis zu doppelter Menge Flüssigkeit. Dabei starte ich gern nochmal mit Wasser und wenn ich Lust drauf hab ersetze ich einen Teil mit Hafermilch oder ich rühr einfach einen Löffel Nussbutter hinein für extra cremigen Genuss 😋
Dann natürlich noch etwas Obst drauf - diesmal waren’s mit Honig karamellisierte Birnen - und Granatapfelkerne und Walnüsse für ein wenig Biss zwischendurch. Voilá - schon ist der Porridge keine fade Pampe mehr sondern eine himmlische Frühstücksnascherei. 😋 Probier’s doch morgen gleich mal aus

Ich kann nicht malen. Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich auc Ich kann nicht malen. Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich auch nie viel Spaß daran. Nicht als Kind und nicht als Erwachsener. Mein Großvater meinte immer “Malen kann man lernen”. Er war überzeugt davon, dass jeder malen kann und als leidenschaftlicher Lehrer wollte er auch mich davon überzeugen. Vergebens 😅
…
Durch’s fotografieren hab ich einen neuen Zugang zur Malerei und zu Farben bekommen. Hier gibt es tatsächlich viel, das ich bereit bin zu lernen. Mit Obst und Gemüse zu “malen” macht mir richtig viel Spaß & ist deshalb für mich das perfekte Bild, um mich hier auf IG zurück zu melden ✌️

🇬🇧 I’m not good at drawing & frankly, I never liked to. Not when I was a kid & not today. But making pictures out of fruit & veggies is a whole other story. Here’s where I can be playful & creative 🧡 and that’s exactly what I wanna be right now. Nourishing my inner child & bringing that lightness & ease into my 2023 🤸‍♂️

// What are you thankful for? // Es gibt viele Din // What are you thankful for? //
Es gibt viele Dinge für die ich dankbar bin - meine Kinder, meine Familie, meine Freiheit im Job. Trotzdem vergesse ich ab und an wie gut ich’s eigentlich habe. Geht’s dir da ähnlich?
Umso wichtiger finde ich es (vor allem an schlechten Tagen), dass ich mich immer wieder an die Kleinigkeiten erinnere die mir das Leben versüßen und für die ich dankbar bin ☺️
...
Jetzt gerade zum Beispiel für die frisch gebackenen Kürbismuffins, für die ich gerade das Rezept teste, das Engelslächeln auf dem Gesicht meines Sohnes im Schlaf, und die freien 2 Stunden weil Groß M mit Klein M beim Schwimmkurs ist 😅
...
🇬🇧There’s a lot I’m grateful for - my kids, my family, the freedom I have in my job. Despite that there are times when I tend to forget how good I’ve actually got it. Can you relate? That’s why I find it so important to actively remind me of the small things I’m thankful for ☺️
...
Right now it’s the smell of freshly baked pumpkin muffins I’m currently recipe testing, the angel-smile of my sleeping baby boy & the two free hours I’ve got to myself while Mr. M is at swim practice with little M 😅
