Sorry for the low quality of the picture.I needed to take this photo in late afternoon immediatelly before these two innocent slices are gone!
As I said I was supposed to share the recipe of the "melt-in-the-mouth vanilla cookies" last day. However I had to go and stay at mom's to help her as she had been having her flat redecorated. And when I was back home there were no vanilla cookies left in the box!
Miranda, and Steve... Thank you again my dears! My cookies and cakes used to survive for at two days in the past at least. Now nothing stays more than half a day in our home after those vanillas. Baked and eaten!
I'm not complaining, of course not. Just so worried about our diet! LOL
Now it's time to share this sooooo cocoa cake recipe! I found it on a Turkish food blog by chance. I tried it ten days ago first. It was good. But with a few changes I made on the recipe and with the wonderful vanilla paste it's now a luscious cake for sure!
