Not only it’s rainy… which is normal for the rainy season, but it’s super cold. With not more than 15degrees today, we could neither play tennis with that rain, nor go swimming in the ocean with that cold… The arcade and at the batting center kept us active for an hour but then we had to admit that reading at home was the only option… and cooking was obviously a good alternative. I pulled out from the shell my old “fall baking” magazine and was in the rare enough mood for some rich recipes to go with a hot chai. I stopped on a recipe of spicy cake with a coconut and walnut caramel topping. I decided to try, but since I had neither coconut or walnuts I replaced them by almond powder and almond slices. The recipe frightened me a bit with the quantities of sugar and butter so I reduced them a bit (a lot)… and the result was really rich and suited perfectly the chai! So here is the recipe.<\/p>\n
