INGREDIENTS

200 g baking sugar

150 g wheat flour

50 g chestnut flour

200 g coconut oil

1 flat tbsp baking soda

4 tbsp coconut milk

a pinch of vanilla

4 eggs

+ 200 g fresh strawberries

Add to my shopping list

DIRECTIONS

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Put the egg whites aside.

Mix the egg yolks with sugar until fluffy and white. Add the flour, baking soda, vanilla and coconut oil (which should be very soft or even liquid).

Mix it all together well. At the end add the coconut milk and mix the dough again.

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and mix them gently with the dough. It should stay quite thick, but definitely not stiff.

Cut the strawberries into quarters.

Place the dough in a round baking tray (diameter 26cm) lined with a piece of baking paper and sprinkle it with fresh strawberries.

Bake the cake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown in 180°C.

Brussels sprouts with honey and garlic

This is my new obsession: brussels sprouts with honey and garlic. It is a perfect side dish for roasted lamb, turkey or fried rice with eggs. Using local, seasonal vegetables makes a big difference, so eat brussels sprouts now, in the fall. They are healthy, full of magnesium and vitamins.

Caramel custard

I have learned how to make this stunning dessert during cooking classes with Kurt Scheller in March 2015. I do not bake too much, but this simple custard stole my heart. Its extraordinary taste will be appreciated by all the fans of a bit more classy cuisine.

The traditional horseradish sauce is one of my favorite Easter side dishes. This year I made it as well and brought it for a Canadian Easter dinner. Guess what… it tasted very well with roasted turkey!!! Everybody liked it, so today I am proud to share with you my secret home recipe.
