Gâteau au yaourt à la confiture fraise

That means.. Yoghurt cake with strawberry jam. And it's yummy!!!
I managed to get the cake nice and airy. The jam is a great complement to the cake.
The best thing about this cake is... it is so easy to make.
The measuring of the ingredients is based on the yoghurt pot. Easy right?

If you google, you can find a lot of recipes.
This is what I used:

Ingredients list:
1 pot of natural yoghurt
2 pots flour
2 pots sugar
½ pot oil
3 whole eggs
1 packet of dry yeast
1 packet of vanilla sugar

Instruction:
- Pour yoghurt in mixing bowl
- Then goes in the sugar. Mix well
- Put in eggs, then flour, followed by yeast and vanilla sugar
- Comes in the oil
- Mix well
- Bake for about 30 minutes in temperature 4 (180 C)

- Once baked, put it out from the baking pan
- Let cool a bit
- With a knife, cut the cake horizontally
- Spread the jam
- Put the top back
- It's ready!!!










Like the cake is so easy to be made... I even had time to make mini chocolate cake!

Sunday comfort food

I'm home alone on Sunday and after few hours, I already missed my husband... huhuhu... So what do I do? I whipped up a comfort food. I know this is bad for my already gaining weight body, but then I just need this... I made "pain perdu", in which in english it is called "french toast" hihihi...
Few minutes later, I'm on the couch and munching on one of these.

Pomme de terre sautée

Special feature: My husband's pomme de terre sautée à la crème fraîche :D

Tea for Two

Winter is here and there is nothing like sipping hot tea in front of the fire with your favorite winter reading.
So I don't have fire place in my house, but I still can enjoy my tea in winter right? mmmm...
There are several stores in Nancy which sell all sorts of blended tea. I take tea at the office too. Tea, office, gossips - bliss... So checkout what I got recently.
I splurged a bit hehehe.. I bought 4 sorts - Poire Gourmand (Gourmet Pear), Jasmin Mandarin (Jasmine Mandarine), Blue Sky (this is from the floral assortment - it has rose petals), and Montagne Bleu (Blue mountain - this contains blue flower with hint of honey).





I put them in the individual tea filters for 1 cup. This filter comes in different sizes. You can get it for a teapot. I prepared them now so that when my colleague rang me, I'm good to go for some gossips (i mean tea)...

Mix flakes

The mini box is too... mini..
So I mixed 2 kellogs box into one bowl: Frosties and Coco Crunch. Yum!

L'Epi d'Or, Nancy

It has been a while for place-to-eat post.
L'Epi d'Or is a salon thé + bakery + small restaurant, all in one.
At first I only buy the all-time famous pain au chocolat, and their beignet de carnaval, but then I tried once to eat here, and I like the choices that they offered. Especially the choice of salads that you can get here. Shaz and salad? That can't be right. Yup it's not easy for me to eat salad (or vegies) but L'Epi d'Or has the right stuff for me.
And yes.. they opened since 1928.. hmmm....

Other than Salade de Chevre Chaud (Warm Goat Cheese Salad), this is another salad that I like, la Salade de Brie Au Pilat.
It's basically green salads, tomatoes, bits of Brie cheese, and the brown on top is Brie cheese fried with crumbs... yum yum!!!


Of course their desserts are so so nice... My fav is la crème brulée. The mousse au fruit (framboise ou abricot: raspberry or apricot) are equally yummy...


Bon app!!
