As you can see I love these little cakes..I found this one on IG Mine did not rise as much but I did not put the strip of butter on top..
You can find the recpe in English..HERE
I used coffee cream she used full fat 35%
I forgot to line a strip of butter on top..:)
Very vanilla very good.
I added a simple syrup on top with some rhum.Rhum and vanilla go hand in hand:)
You can find the recipe here and it is translated..by ladfoodie:)
Summer is holding on so tightly.. the last 10 days really mucho caliente..no rain and none in the forecast.Beating records..
Some trees starting..but not fall yet.. Marigods zinnias and dahlias blooming their heads off.
We celebrated Oli's 15 th birthday ..
He's so easy..easy as a Sunday morning .:)A beautiful Sunday morning.
Still painting..and telling my little stories:)
Take care..
And PS to the anonymous person who insists on thinking he or she is so smart and funny with their critical comments.I will keep deleting you.
As Oli would say: What's the point?
My mother taught me if you have nothing nice to say..shut up..Lol she didn't put it that way but I am..and I can voice it even more disparagingly;)
So move on..throw your silly you think they are funny darts elsewhere,as I check my blog and your sarcasm will not be found.
You are my first derogatory person here..IN YEARS and years.
I knew bullies in my youth..and even at work..
So easy to delete you here;)
And not all anonymous people are cantakerous..just you.You know who you are.
Interesting the addition of yeast. Looks yum as does your post .... always x
ReplyDeleteIts really baking powder:)Pretty sure.. because levure can be both usually levure chimique is BP..But I can't see east working in this:)
DeleteThank you! I will now give it a go. Love plain little cakes.
DeleteWe do too:)
DeleteDangerous cake but Dalias cause no harm 👍 Parisbreakfast
ReplyDeleteLittle slivers are not bad at all:). Listen..I am what I am lol..a bakerand a baked good lasts forever here.:) Everything we eat is home made..no processed foods.. etc..so what can I say:) Look away..lol Carol.Never buy a dessert..never eat out.
DeleteYou create such beautiful baked goods! I'm keeping that idea for folding the napkins around cookies--would make darling gifts, as would the small pound cakes. I don't know the name of the stunning dahlia, all pink and coral and creamy, but I would name it "sunset." We are struggling with heat and drought right now. The lawns are brown but my zinnias and the lonely tomato plant out back just keep on chugging along. It sure does pay to plant the survivors! Always love to see your Paris people. Enjoy your week, Monique, and thank you for sharing here with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you:). Lol people like the anonymous comment I deleted are making me rethink this whole thing.lol..She is called Labyrinth and boy can the colors vary..1/3 are this color..s..and the others..mauve and white:)Terribly dry and hot here also..But Ill take it.. I can just imagine when I put the gardens to bed..I shall freeze..;)
DeleteMonique, Who could hold a candle to your baking!!! Too bad I can only see it, not taste it.Summer is hanging on here also with temps in the high 80's and no rain. I have had to discard a couple of plants from Balconville but I keep watering the rest. I am getting my money's worth this year. My health has taken a turn in the road so there will be some new treatments. I wish I could get off this merry go round. My 9 year old grandson had his tonsils removed yesterday and he was proudly going around saying "my ga and I are surgery buddies"! I am blessed to have two wonderful children and those grandson!!!! Take care
ReplyDeleteBlessed indeed:) Oh I want you off that merry-go-round too:( Jump off..go right ahead..and to whoever is taking care of you may wisdom be placed in his or her hands and may you be well forever.Take care..Thinking of you..
DeleteYou and your fabulous baking. I love that you share your finds here. The cookies packed individually are darling. Those other cookies are so pretty and original. Lucky you, getting to enjoy the last bite of summer with your beautiful blooms. Sorry a poster is leaving sarcastic remarks. They must be miserable in their own life.
ReplyDeleteOh they are just short and cutting:) LOL..I live for kind..Had enough unkind 10-15 ..So I talk back now.;););)Thank you:) You're not a bully:)
DeletePeople are crazy. Your mean anonymous commentor must be an unhappy individual. I’m glad you are able to delete.
ReplyDeleteMe too lol..like shut up:):):):)
DeleteBTW, Having some issues with IG again. Missing your paintings. And these flowers are so lovely.
DeleteI just came into a problem also..I cannot add a caption..only allows for POLL. whats a POLL? LOL nothing getting typed into captions..Ill wait a bit.. ;)
DeleteMonique, I don't know how I missed the info about the anonymous negative person. I was looking back at your post and saw your last comments. I truly don't understand why our world has shifted and so many people think it's okay to pour out their you-know-what on others (I'm trying to stay civil, but it really burns me up!). I've said it many times before, you create beauty, then you are kind enough to share it with all of us. A heartfelt thank you. I am very sorry for the frustration this has caused you.
ReplyDeleteIt's something I never expected..they just add little jabs..nothing earth shattering..BUT.. I have seen horrible comments on IG and TIk TOK..(not me..plus I don't partake in TT I just glean..and leave GOOD comments)..It's just a buggy thing..that I don't like:) Thank you:)Pam..TY!
DeleteOh I cannot believe anyone would post mean comments on your beautiful posts!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I can because there are sad, lonely people with nothing better to do. I'm so glad you're able to let it roll away.
The cake looks so very good! I went to the garden center for the first time in two years this past week! I bought some sweet violas for my winter containers. I'm far enough south to keep them blooming most of the winter. With building our house, I haven't had time or money for gardens but I'm making plans for spring & doing a little bit this fall.
I remember house ..home building.. saving.. etc.. it's huge and with surprises sometimes. Congratulations on your neww home.. The gardens will happen:) Enjoy your violas:) Smiley little pretty things:)
DeleteMonique, beauty as always! You make me want to make cookies, but we both know I won't. I was the baker (except for the bread), but I rarely bake now. Perhaps for fall I will be in the mood. Just too hot to heat up the kitchen, but mostly no motivation.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine someone being critical of you! Glad you are deleting and taking control. Keep painting and telling your little stories. I still want you to make them into a book. I would buy a set. By now you have enough for a series.
:). So unusual to get silly little comments.. But it was 3 posts in a row,and you cannot block here.I on't want to do your comment will be posted after approval..so let's see how this works:) Have a nice weekend..If I was traveling.. jaunts.. I would not be baking either..There is always time for that..usually but not for travel..ENJOY.
DeleteOhhhh, the sunset rays of that dazzling dahlia, and the "rainy day cupboard crumb" of the fabulous vanilla cake!! I sat and gazed into the colours and lines of that flower as if it were a great being, beaming happily down upon the day. May its majestic beauty and beatific countenance at the beginning of this post be a bulwark from such unwanted, unwarranted interjections of this misguided transgressor of all reason and civility, and our comforting, disproving, and even indignant words at the close be a better-taste finish and shield from such childish ignorance. Reminds me of a little girl of my long-ago childhood, whose blatant ill-manners confirmed both that she was a girl, but certainly not a lady.
ReplyDeleteAnd the golden Walk-Away trademark so glowingly marking the finish---I'll always smile for the sweet capture of all those wee events and happenings, thinking of what I'd capture of the family, of life, of the past or the now, had I any such gift in my fingers. You have such a way with line and color, and with expressing such moments of joy and everyday---There's never a halt nor stutter in your command in the kitchen, the garden, the studio, and around your Family Table in all its forms.
And those cookies!! I just a few weeks ago sent home our GrandDaughter with a lifetime bag of the little Wilton shape-cutters, the leaves and curlicues, the patterns and the petals---such innocent little bits of pale green plastic for such unrivaled beauty arranged on a pie. Not for the "I'll never need these anymore," but for a small passing of the torch, for her 4-H entry into the Pie division of the County Fair---which was, indeed, a wonderfully small, crowded-table event with so much young talent and eager creativity on display (Blue Ribbon for her, by the way), along with Purple for her Leggo bouquets.
Your instinct and talent for the BEAUTIFUL of life remind me of a small poem from decades ago, back when our city newspaper held a Valentine Poetry contest every year. The winner one year was a young wife writing to her husband, and the closing line was "We tread the calmest waters of the serene and pure." That's what we find here, and no amount of drifted-in debris can linger.
Oh my gosh Rachel you have done it again.Written so beautifully it has cleansed the words of the ill-mannered anonymous who sought to make me question even writing the blog (for one moment only).But I remembered how I felt when it disappeared due to my terrible error..and it made me sad.So I could not let anonymous lead me astray.Kudos on your Grand Daughter's Blue Ribbon!! and Purple for the Lego bouquets.My grandson Noah offered his friend Harley one for her birthday.Let us all tread the calmest waters.Thank you so much Rachel.
DeleteAll your goodies look delicious! I love the paper napkin individual serving holders. I followed the link for the cake and it looks to me like she baked hers in a much narrower pan so that's probably why hers is higher. Your dahlias continue to delight and, as always, love your watercolors. How sad that someone is being so annoying here and saying awful, sarcastic things. A sad person who can't say something positive about things that are so beautiful here. Hatred in the heart destroys one's ability to see beauty.
ReplyDeletePerhaps:) Mine is 7 1/4 by 3 1/2..my smallest loaf pan apart from minis..I "ve asked..could be a number of things I didn"t put the butter strip..her BP? Not sure..
DeleteIt's my treasured E Dehillerin pan ..pullman from Paris:)Hers is 7.8 outside measurements I believe so since mine was so close I figured win win..Ill get to the bottom of this:) Oy the comments were ridiculous..short and not sweet;)
Beautiful as always. I love all that you share. Flowers, family, food. Those recipes are going on my list! They look fabulous. You present everything so impeccably. I cannot imagine anyone being critical. But, there is a person who is always doing that on my page as well. I will never understand why people find the need to do so. And they do it with a smile on their face and a dagger behind their back, but I recognize that there is no warmth in that smile. Sorry you are having the same problem. Nasty people. Whew! Happy belated Birthday greetings to Oli. They are growing up too fast eh! I loved the comment of racheld. Perfectly composed. You are a treasure Monique and don't ever let anyone tell you any differently. xo
ReplyDeleteRachel is a writer..like you:). I bet it is the same person.. what a brat lol..Im keeping tabs on that anonymous..So funny how people camouflage ..I know it:)Thank you marie:)
DeleteGood morning Monique! Everything is so beautiful...thank you for sharing. :) Your flowers are incredible. I am sorry to hear about the bad apple... :( You are just amazing!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you.. I saw the comments just lately and can spot right away:) I think I had mentioned I felt bad for Oli and Anonymous said be happy you don't have monkeypox.. or something to that effect..Oh lala.. I am but honestly you don't have to tell me:) Started about then I think..Thank goodness for lovely people in this world.. comme toi.I bet you saw I used my fave loaf /pain de mie pan again:)
DeleteOh Monique, every time you post your baking, I almost die of delight and desire to taste it all. It's so beautiful, though -- how can you bear to even take a bite! Love your painting too. She's lovely. Sometimes commenters are trolls. Once, and maybe it's a bad day. More than that, it's just mean spirited. I'm glad you are taking control. Smart move and well done.
ReplyDeleteSo funny that it irks me.. lol not at all all kinds of things like this irk me..Thank you for the good wishes for Oli..cast had to be reset for an extra two weeks.he has missed the season.You know how we feel about our Littles.. You and Rick would be sad for yours also:)..So dessert wise.I take a bite to make sure..that is it good..But resist sweets..salty is me..But say a muffin.. a shortbread.. yes even a pb cookie.. much more me..
DeletePS -- I also meant to say belated good wishes to Oli!
ReplyDeleteHi Mon, Sorry to hear about Oli, how is he feeling now?
ReplyDeleteHe had to have a second cast put on.He was really heartbroken to miss his whole football season.He was the quarterback:(Hard knocks for a boy who loves football so much:( But when we see him he is as lovely as always.
