I love to bake.....but up till now, everything I have done is quite simple. One day I came across a recipe by Pierre Herme, at that time, I had no idea who he is! Anyways.... decided to give it a try even though the recipe is 5 pages long! I was really really worried that it might be too sweet.... but............... WOW.....It was sooo good I made 3 within a month...and have been crazy about Pierre Herme's recipes since! It was not too sweet at all! The proportions are so well proportioned that it makes you crave bite after bite! I altered the recipes once..... added more chocolate cream and cherries. HUGE mistake! What was so good about the original proportion is the "crave". There are bits of cherry here and there making you crave for more! Adding more losses that effect and makes each bite less special. The cake was so good even my grandparents ate of whole piece! They normally don't like sweets. Hopefully I will get to visit his shop one day taste his creations! Ps. I didn't have a mixer at the time, so everything was made with a hand blender! So if you don't have a mixer at home, don't worry! You can still do it! (The cake part, just make sure your egg white are whipped properly and don't be lazy like me...lol) Click here for the recipe |
