There’s an Israeli Espresso- Bar chain called “Aroma”. When we lived in Israel we loved going there because you could always get a nice cup of coffee, a sandwich and even a real good breakfast. There are branches in Canada but not in Halifax and so this cake is my go-to cake whenever I crave […]
It’s Cherry season! Everywhere you look you see them, red, juicy, sweet or sour but mostly tasty and beautiful. I love eating fresh cherries and my kids adore it.
