the page dedicated to her I present a new recipe by Agnes, who soon will propose a truly original menu from start to finish (for example, I'm already dreaming of the cake parfait .. ..) Meanwhile
propose again the recipe for the Quaker who was lost if the :
One of the most beautiful traditions of my family is that of a birthday cake. The custom is that each of us has one, and this is a constant that can not always be on the table in its own day of celebration.
The recipe that I want to make is exactly one of those that we use strictly on these occasions. In particular is the birthday cake is my son, that's one of my brothers ..
This cake comes in a distant country from Italy, and is in the tradition of our family for many years now: a long long before it became one of our birthday cakes!
I learned my grandmother in Argentina, in 1960, and in turn she taught us.
We never knew the real name of this cake.
For us it is the Quaker brand of one of its ingredients.
It 's a very simple dessert that can remember a slab of chocolate, or the classic chocolate salami. But for us, the Quaker is a Quaker, and no one would confuse him in the family ever!
