I was looking for a recipe for an apple cake that would resemble a favorite of mine baked by someone at my church, and this one comes extremely close to the taste I recall. The cake batter is not sweet and rather flaky once baked, almost like a pie crust, but the sweetness of the apple filling pulls it all together very nicely.
This European Apple Cake recipe has been shared with me by a friend of mine, and referred to as “Sharlotka”. The cake is made out of a very rich batter (lots of egg yolks and butter), which makes it so scrumptious.
You don’t need to wait for a special holiday or a celebration, to have a barbecue. You do it just because you feel like taking advantage of the warm weather and cooking outdoors. Not to mention to give your husband a chance to show off his grilling skills while you are relaxing with a nice cold drink and socializing (which most likely does not happen until you set everything up for him…:-)
As you already read in my log, I am using a pressure cooker on regular basis, for cooking quick meals on a busy day. I will share a few of my favorite pressure cooker recipes. Here is one for Spareribs with Barbecue Sauce. My family likes this dish served with boiled, chunky potatoes, seasoned with sauteed onions, salt, and pepper to taste.
I just realized that I have not been posting that many breakfast recipes lately, yet this meal is very important to jump-start your day.
This recipe is very simple, yet full of good stuff for your morning meal, and you can even grab it with you to eat later at work. Can’t beat that!
