Kladdkaka

Kladdkaka is a Swedish cake that is more commonly known as chocolate mud cake. This cake does not use baking powder, and reminds me of brownies. It is often served with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.Although, I discovered that this cake is also delicious with the creamy nutmeg sauce that I make with my coffee cake recipe.

Crème Brûlée
(more…)
Crème brûlée is not a dish I grew up with, nor was it readily available in English Canada. Though over the years Tim Hortons and Starbucks have offered themed drinks and goodies based on this dessert.
This dish features a chilled creamy base with a caramelised top. While easy to make, it requires refrigeration prior to serving. Finally, a reason to go out and get a culinary torch!

Coffee Cake with a Creamy Nutmeg Sauce
(more…)
I have fond memories of visiting my grandmother and coming face to face with this cake. This recipe combines a delicious coffee cake with a creamy nutmeg sauce that really complements it!
This dish required a fair amount of deciphering. For example, the original recipe called for 2 eggs of grease for the cake.
The sauce needs a consistent temperature to thicken reliably. If you can get an even flame then this will be no problem. However, for electric ranges I recommend using a cast iron or steel saucepan to compensate for the on-and-off cycle of the heating element.

A French-Canadian tradition that began when Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys made these sweet candies each year on Saint Catherine’s Day (November 25th) to lure students to school. Later on, marriage-age women would make taffy for eligible boys on that day. This taffy is made from molasses, maple syrup and sugar and can be a great deal of fun to involve your children.
