Magic Cake
20-9-2016
Recently all over the internet: Magic Cake. We spotted it on Instagram, Facebook and even The Telegraph wrote an article about the miraculous recipe that make three cakes in one! The cake is made of the typical cake batter ingredients (sugar, butter, flour, milk and eggs). The egg yolk, flour, milk and butter are prepared separate from the egg whites and combined right before the unique baking process at low temperatures. Creating a three layered Magic Cake. With a spongy top, a custardy middle layer and a moisty cake base. Although we think that these kind of cakes have been made for years we couldn’t resist making one and try it! One word: delicious!

At that time they were not able yet to run in New York, Paris or London but choose another marathon destination. By now most of them are be able to say: London, been there, New York, done that. Check out the impression restaurant Le Saint Julien made of the marathon this year. I will be watching and toasting wine with the colleagues that do the run, this is the only marathon where you can pull a cork and a muscle.
