Chocolate cake reminder

I woke up this Sunday morning with an urge to make this cake as a breakfast surprise for my family. A classic and versatile recipe that everyone should have, that of a Chocolate cake... yeah!

An old recipe that I am making it for years. Very handy as a base for a birthday cake (see some old photos below). Personalize it infinitely according to mood and cravings : adding fresh or dried fruits (bananas, berries, coconut, nuts. ...) and/or covering with chocolate ganache, jam or whatever your imagination might come up with or even better, that of your children. Today's version with smashed bananas and coconut. Click on "Read more" to see the old photos.

Recipe reminder: salmon plaki (Greek baked fish)

If you found some tempting salmon or any white fish to bring home like me yesterday, here's a greek way to cook it that we call "plaki". I got some amazing oriental bread with semolina and made a fresh salad, all yummy! 

You can find my old recipe here: Psari Plaki (Greek baked Fish with Tomatoes & Onions) 

As always, enjoy!
