Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.
All in Swiss Cakes and Tortes
This classic Swiss tea cake is chock full of nuts and chocolate and has a wonderfully tender crumb.
A boozy, nutty cake featuring a walnut liqueur beloved in Ticino.
This cinnamon bun-adjacent cake is stuffed with nuts and raisins, can be drizzled with icing, and makes a lovely afternoon snack or decadent breakfast.
A gloriously creamy cake with quark, plums and streusel as the base and topping.
A lovely, coffee-flavoured cake for birthdays and beyond.
Easier than you think, and the perfect vehicle for sweet Swiss strawberries.
A collection of my favourite Swiss cakes, for birthdays and beyond.
The best apple cake from Switzerland’s premier apple region.
A big, beautiful sheet cake from my mother-in-law’s kitchen.
As sunny as a trip to Ticino, this lemony take on Zug’s Kirschtorte is a tart delight.
Grated apples, toasted nuts and cinnamon are all stuffed into a sweet crust. This perpetually juicy tart, named for Zürich’s clergy houses, is an apple-lover’s dream.
Gotthelf's dense, chocolatey cake, decorated after his most famous tale, the horror classic The Black Spider.
Like Switzerland’s beloved boozy coffee, but in cake form.
A deeply satisfying chocolate cake with a moist, almost fudgy middle. It tastes great warm from the oven, or after a few days in the fridge.
Who doesn’t love a streusel cake? This one has a creamy quark filling and can be topped with your fruit of choice (especially rhubarb!)
This is a classic bread pudding cake from Ticino, with as many versions as there are Nonnas in the canton.
Solothurn’s very own cake, chock full of hazelnuts.
Fabiana’s Lucernese gingerbread, is a fan favourite among her five children, numerous grandchildren, and Sam’s family, who lived next door for over a decade.
A tender and tart lemon cake that uses nine eggs.
Although it takes a bit of time, I love making this cake. It looks impressive and tastes wonderful, especially if you aren’t shy with the kirsch that features throughout.
