This was my first cake recipe requiring buttermilk, so I was very excited to give it a try.
I used buttermilk in homemade waffles and liked the results, so I did not doubt that this cake would turn out great as well.
For the past three years I have been making her favorite Chocolate Cake with Fleur de Sel Caramel Filling, but this year I just wanted to do something different.
She selected a Dark Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache, so I took her up on the idea, and baked the above pictured cake.
While most children are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the big, jolly fellow in a red suit, who sneaks into their houses through the chimney with presents for everyone, or at least this is how the legend has it, Ukrainian children get their small gifts on December 6th, from Saint Nicholas.
Ukrainians love their Borscht.
This quick and easy version of preparing a Ukrainian Red Beet Borscht was shared by my cousin from Ukraine.
Another cake challenge proposed to me by my daughter a while back, as a choice for her Birthday cake. I love trying out new recipes, so I was ready to tackle this one as well. You can never go wrong with chocolate.
This chocolate cake consists of 4 layers of cake, with chocolate ganache, creamy salted caramel, and toasted almonds. If this doesn’t make your mouth water, I don’t know what will!
