Last week was semester break in schools and universities in Denmark, so everyone was travelling all over the country - except us (well, we did just get back from Jessie and Gar's wedding!). Instead Esben's parents came to visit us for the weekend. And because we had visitors, the baking utensils came out - you know me, any excuse. I have been looking forward to making some recipes from Lilly Higgins' book Make, Bake, Love, which I bought over a year ago. This was the perfect opportunity, because it is part of Danish culture to drink coffee and eat cake - and I don't want to be the one who starts breaking with tradition now, do I? I opted for the coffee cake - one of my favourites, and it goes well with coffee. How did it turn out? Put it this way: my in-laws are still talking to me, and they even took some home with them! Actually, they said they loved it, so that's a good sign. I think it was a good first attempt, and I can always tweak the recipe next time :o)
