For today's 🍰😋 we have a fun recipe for a summer and creamy cake: Swedish Almond Cake or "Mandeltårta"❣️

Ingredients:
For the cake->
- 4 Eggs whites
- Pinch Salt
- 75g Sugar
- 140g ground almonds
For the cream->
- 4 Egg yolks
- 75g Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100ml Heavy cream
- 130g Butter, softened
For decoration->
- Sliced almonds

Directions:
- Make the cream: separate the egg yolks from the whites and in a bowl, whisk yolks with sugar and set aside. In a saucepan bring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour hot cream into the yolk mixture while constantly whisking. Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook until thicken, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and stir, transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover (!!) and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Make the cake: preheat oven to 170C°. In a large clean bowl, place egg whites and pinch of salt. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, then gradually add the sugar, beat until stiff peak form. Gradually fold ground almonds into the meringue. Do not over fold. I easily found ground almonds in AH though. Take two parchment papers and with a ruler measure 20 cm vertically and horizontally and put a tiny bit of the mixture on the four points marking the two crossing diameters and do this for both papers. Divide the batter between the two papers and smooth it out with the back of a spoon also to gently form a circle connecting the four points for each papers. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Assembling: in a large bowl beat softened butter. Gradually add chilled cream and whisk until combined. Place 1 cake layer on a plate or a cake stand, then spread a layer of cream, then top with the second layer cake. Spread the cream on top and sides of the cake. Help yourself with a knife if you don't have a spatula.
- Decoration: toast almond flakes on a dry pan or in the oven, allow them to cool. Then, decorate the side and top of the cake with toasted almond flakes.
Keep the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.

🍪 🍪 Hi! Here’s a recipe for the most amazing, sweet, crispy, comforting cranberry oatmeal cookies

For 6 big cookies you’ll need:
100 g self-rising flour
200 g sugar
125 g butter
150 g oatmeal
2 tbs milk
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt
a handful of cranberries
a handful of any kind of nuts

First mix the flour, sugar, oatmeal, butter, milk, cinnamon, and salt together with your hands until it becomes a sticky dough. At a little bit more milk if needed. Then mix in the cranberries and nuts and keep kneading until it is well mixed. After that, divide the dough into approximately 6 pieces and shape them into cookies. Place the cookies on the oven sheet and leave enough space in between them to melt and rise. Bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes on 200 degrees depending on your oven. Important: the cookies will be soft when you take them out of the oven. They will harden while they cool down. If you want you can leave out the berries and nuts or substitute them for chocolate, little pieces of apple or strawberry, raisins, or many other things! 😋

✨ 🧀🍝✨ this baked feta pasta recipe is currently going viral on all social media for good reasons. It’s delicious, super easy to make, and you need very few ingredients. For 2-3 portions you’ll need:
* 1 block of feta cheese (200-250gr)
* 500gr of cherry tomatoes
* 2 cloves of garlic
* A bunch of fresh basil
* Dried crushed chili pepper to taste
* 300gr of your favorite pasta (you can increase it to up to 400gr for approximately 4 portions but the sauce will be less rich)
* Half a cup of olive oil
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 tsp of dried oregano

1. Preheat the oven on 200 °C.
2. In an oven dish, pour the olive oil and place the entire block of feta cheese in the middle of the dish. Place the tomatoes in the dish around the feta cheese. If you don’t have an oven, you can also place everything in a pot with a non-stick coating in the same arrangement on medium heat stove.
3. Season everything with salt, pepper, crushed chili flakes, and the chopped garlic.
4. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or let it cook on the stove for around 10-15 minutes.
5. Then turn the oven up to 225°C and bake it for 10 more minutes or turn the heat of the stove to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
6. In the meantime, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Make sure when draining to save a 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
7. Take out the oven dish and mix all the ingredients. The tomatoes will be broken and the feta cheese will be soft enough to mix. Also mix in the pasta cooking water that you saved.
8. Add the pasta and as much chopped basil leaves as you like and your dish is ready.
9. The pasta is already delicious like this but for variation you can mix in cooked chicken, spinach, olive or whatever you’d like 👌🏽
